I tried really hard to find some chic and unique options for boys…well there were only about two that I was able to pull from the online racks that were somewhat interesting.  So…I’m focusing on sweet little girls and let’s be honest, there are many more cute options!  Obviously my love of ruffles and flowers has prevailed while browsing.  How adorable is that cupcake tee? I’d let my future little one wear it to every bday party she attended!   

• Rose Tulle Capri Set $46.50
• Garden Petticoat Dress $62
• Organic cotton with lace handmade dress $125
• Lavender Tutu Outfit with Headband $60
• Silverlake Shrug Sweater $42
• Oopsy Daisy Birthday Raspberry Top $50

 

I also love all the tutus that kept popping up in my online racks.  This one below is one of my favs–I adore the flower petals and dotted ribbons.  Do you ever get the feeling that you could make something you find while shopping?

 I searched around on YouTube and found a cute and easy tutorial for making Tutus–how quick & simple is that?! I think this would make a perfect birthday or Christmas gift for both my little Goddaughter and future niece!  I’d probably want to chic it up by hand sewing on a few crystals and flowers too!

Just as easy as it is to slip on a preppy Lilly Pulitzer dress or a chic Tory Burch tunic, it’s even more unique to wear a one-of-a-kind frock.  Etsy is a great spot to discover new accessories, a great beach bag, or that perfect dress for a casual cookout…really, there’s nothing this site’s sellers haven’t thought of!  I feel like Etsy is my virtual open-air market–the boho kind that always shop at while traveling abroad!  Here are a few items that would be perfect for the Memorial Weekend Holiday, whether you’re heading to the lake or noshing at a family barbeque. (All images link you directly to the item’s page on Etsy!) 

 

This dress is perfect for the weather & the casual vibe of a cookout while still adding a chic element to the comfy design! 

 

These are beautifully simple for day-wear and the silver and gray moonstone gems add a whimsical feel! 

 

Large enough to carry a game of horseshoes, bottled water, sunscreen, and lip gloss–very cute carry-all! 

 

Love how this is a real silver serving platter with a mosaic twist that adds color and flair! Very original & perfect to serve something yummy! 

 

Hello–a signature Southern cake flavor with a new spin! These look so delicious that I would probably eat four! 

This is a classic country game that I used to play at my grandfather’s farm each Memorial Weekend! (It’s located on the Tennessee/Kentucky state line in the perfect little town.) Ask any Southerner about this game and they will tell you how much fun it is despite it’s simplicity!
