Splurge vs. Steal: Trench Coat

Loving this new stone colored trench coat at Zara as a steal for the classic Burberry version. I have been on the hunt for this particular shade for some time after seeing it on Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam years ago. It's perfect for spring and April showers with the removable hood. I wish it was just a little longer but I'll take it regardless. (I actually had a slightly different trench from Zara for a few years but lost the belt so happy to finally have a replacement.)

Have you heard... It's National Unicorn Day! If you have little girls in your life, every day probably feels like rainbows and unicorns. I'm not complaining, I've had so much fun shopping for Lexi lately.

Pottery Barn Kids Basket & Liner (Large)

I filled Lexi's birthday basket with purple and rainbow goodies from Coco and Lala Watchill, Wiggles & Giggles and Kirby Girl in Darien. She's been wearing the tutu and carrying her flashlight every night since her birthday, haha. Her new Easter basket just arrived so I figured why not re-purpose it while I can. (If you are thinking about ordering one, let me warn you the large size is enormous!)

If you are still shopping for your little one's Easter basket, consider a hand-knit doll that helps a great cause. For every cuddle + kind doll purchased, 10 meals are donated to children in need. I love their mission and was happy to be able to purchase one locally at Coco and Lala Watchill to help them raise 500 meals!

Shirt: Gap Kids.

I buy most of Lexi's clothes at Gap...they have so many cute rainbow and unicorn options right now!

Bed: Crate & Kids. Sheets: Target. Pajamas: Roller Rabbit.

We've been reading Uni the Unicorn every night at bedtime. Hard to see, but Lexi is clutching her unicorn night light (named Uni, of course). If you're local head to the gift shop at Palmer's to pick one up.

I love the new Gwen the Unicorn print from Roller Rabbit. I would love to have a matching set for us.

Purple Funfetti for the birthday girl... in line with the unicorn theme.

I could go on and on... love this trend and hope it's here to stay!

Lexi's 3rd Birthday

Lexi's Dress: Gap. My Dress: Misa Los Angeles (also available here).

We kicked off Miss Lexi's 3rd birthday week on Sunday with a small party at home with family and a few friends. Doesn't matter the size of the party... I'll always overdo it with a big cake! Bring on the buttercream frosting. As requested by the birthday girl, we had a purple Minnie Mouse rainbow cake customized from Palmer's Bakery in Darien. This party was followed by a Funfetti cupcake celebration with her class the next day and another round at home on her actual birthday, April 2nd. She's still on a sugar high...
