Completely unique and utterly fantastic.

That is how I describe the designs that make up the portfolio of the one and only, Courtney Chu.  Each peice from her inventive line of  children’s wear, known as CourtneyCourtney, is a one-of-a-kind and is made from repurposed materials…  They are funky, fresh, comfortable, and totally AWESOME!

And…. Lucky me!  I got to shoot her newest dress, called the Lime Loni 10 (the first item to roll out from in the tween sizes) on my daughter this past week and we totally had fun rocking it out!

Check out her SHOP when you get a chance… And have fun falling in love with her super creations!  Personally, I am dying to get my hands on the 21 Jumpsuit for my littlest one….  omg!!  That little outfit is to die for!

I’m loving the major backlighting on this next one…

Adorable little ruffle at the bottom:

And one last look:

Totally fun.  Totally unique.  Zozo does it again!

I’ve been meaning to blog these photos I did for ZozoBugBaby over a week ago, but things got out of control busy for a bit!  This adorable little top hit the shop last week and is completely adorable!  It’s also being offered in dress length for even more fun!  Go check it out… It’s called the Avery Twirl Top!

Love the back of this top…  so cute and unique!

That’s all for now!

Oh me, oh my!  I love these colors… so vibrant and juicy!

Yes, you guessed it… It’s another creation by ZozoBugBaby!   This little number is set to be introduced as the Allie Dress and, if I had to guess, will probably be added to the shop sometime in the next day or so….  So, keep your eyes peeled!

And, let me just tell you… This dress is seriously yummy and cute!  I totally get a cool, citrus summer feel from it….  Such a comfy, yet adorable look that any little girl would be lucky to sport in the summer heat!

Thanks, Julie, for creating such a fun spring/summer outfit!  xoxo!

 And quite possibly my favorite of the afternoon… An impromtu game of peek-a-boo!

That’s all for now!  :D  

There is no doubt about it… Spring is here and the flowers are in full bloom!  I LOVE this time of year…  I love the colors found in people’s yards, the colors of the wild flowers (and some weeds) growing on the sides of the road, and switching over from our snuggly winter wear to light and fresh spring clothing!   Spring is just simply gorgeous from any angle….  

And to help usher in the luscious sights of spring, Julie Martin from ZozoBugBaby is coming out with the most wonderful twirly, spring inspired outfits… Her designs make you want want to dress up all cutesy and go out for a walk in a garden!  Or, go out and sit in a field of full of wild bluebonnets.  Or, better yet, take your kids out for a fun picnic in a wide open field of yellow flowers and clear blue skies…  Just for the heck of it!  The color palette that Julie is using just makes my head spin and makes me love spring even more!

Here is one of her latest creations, The Addison Swing Top and Capri Pants…. This outfit will added to her shop some time today, so get ready!

Lovely little notted tie at the top:

And, matching cute little pink/cream capri pants:

This outfit is just too perfect for hanging out on a nice spring day!

This one is probably my favorite:

And, obviously this outfit must be fun to wear… My little A was in such a silly mood during this shoot while modeling:

That’s all for now…  If you like The Addison Swing Top and Capri Pants,

you should definitely go check out Miss Julie’s other fab creations in her shop

AND be on the look-out for this one to hit the store sometime today!  ;-)

Am I thrilled or what?!  I have been dying to post these photos for days now…  Not to mention, I’ve been bursting at the seems to announce my affiliation with Julie Martin, an amazing children’s clothing designer, who creates one of a kind clothing for little ladies sizes 12 months through 12/14 on her label, ZozoBugBaby!

ZozoBugBaby creates some of the freshest, most eclectic, ever-so-fab designs I’ve ever seen!  So when we, by chance, discussed back in January working together on doing a commercial shoot to promote part of her utterly cute, new spring clothing line, I was beyond thrilled!  The sweet designer children’s clothes Julie creates are more than perfect for what I call a *perfect* photo session and are, without a doubt, clothes that I’d love to have hanging in my own children’s closets!

Introducing the absolutely adorable Lollipop Garden Dress:

You’d never guess that my little angel A3 wasn’t feeling that great here…. but, unfortunately, she wasn’t.  She was just really excited to model this cute dress:

And, the  very summery and yummy colored  Ocean Swirl Skirt:

And, the matching Rosette Initial Tee:

Finally, the Reata Skirt.  Yes, that’s right folks… it’s actually named after ME! How awesome is that?!

And, lastly, a shot I got of both my older girls modeling the Ocean Twirl Skirt and the Reata Skirt…  Love the colors on these clothes!  So gorgeous!

Seriously friends, ZozoBugBaby clothing is not only adorable, but is really, really well made and the attention to detail is superb.  Anything you buy will be adored by all!  Rush over to her shop and go wild… You’ll thank me later!  ;)
