Nordstrom Sale

I have to share a few of my favorites from the Nordstrom sale!

I have never seen this Tory Burch bag on sale in black or tan! The Amanda collection was one of our top sellers when I worked at Nordstrom. The leather is such great quality, and its a great size. It has 2 handles to carry and a detachable long strap too! Go get yours before they sell out! Consider it an "Early" Christmas present for yourself, or a reward for all the Thanksgiving prep.

Not on sale, but these are my favorite booties right now. SO COMFORTABLE and practical with lugging children around. They are totally worth paying full price!

Mama loves Style Intro

When I first started this blog, I was focused mostly on baby boy stuff. I recently changed the name of my blog to "Mama Loves Style". I want it to be a lifestyle blog where can share my love of style and being a mom. So stay tuned for decorating ideas, recipes, practical outfit ideas, and hopefully a lot of pinterest worthy posts!

Clothes, Clothes, Clothes

Here are some outfit ideas for your little guy. The Man Cub shirt is one of my favorites! There's also a sweatshirt from the same company that says "mama bear". I think I need it! You also have to check out the TOMS website for the cordones. They are adorable! :)

Oh, and my new found obsession is Zara.com for babies. They have soft, great quality leggings for boys with cute prints! I got the cactus, lighting bolt, and paw print for Ryder. They are perfect for lounging around the house. We love being comfy!

Outfit Ideas...

I know its ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to find cute boy clothes out there. However, I have found some outfits that I love, and because I'm nice, I will share them with you! ;) I connected links to each item, but some aren't available anymore. The links should help you have an idea of where to find something similar though.

My Favorite Outifit of his!!! 

This cardigan is the cutest thing ever, I got it for my baby shower from my niece. I love the elbow pads!  They have an almost identical one at H&M now! Below is the direct link. ;)

The jeans are my fav too! They fit him perfectly, with an adjustable waistband. 

Cardigan: H&M 

Jeans: Hudson Jeans

Sunglasses: Carters

Such a good basic t-shirt… and oh so soft!

Raglan T: American Apparel

He was running away from me when I was trying to take a pic of this outfit, so sorry its not very clear. But I am obsessed with his little skinny jeans. I love the slim fit jeans on babies, because it shows off how small they really are.  ;)

Baby Gear

Here are some of the items I own, and the links of where I found them. I purchased them with the intent of having them last through 2 children, whether I had a boy or girl next.

Car seat: Graco - SnugRide 30 Infant Car Seat, Metropolis  $118 at Walmart. It is plain black. You have to make sure its "adaptable" to the stroller you are getting (Thats the tricky part!) There are other stores that carry this same EXACT carseat for more $. A penny saved is a penny earned!

Pack'n'play: Graco Pack-n-play Playard, Hudson $99.99 at Target. I like that this has a removable bassinet in it. Ryder slept in there comfortably in our room for the first couple months. I still use this for him to sit and play with toys, especially if I need to do dishes, fold laundry, etc. You can put a playard sheet over the bottom to have a different accent color, instead of the green. The star mobile is also easily detachable. We never used it.

Highchair: Graco Duodiner Highchair, Hudson $139.99 at Target. 3 in 1 high chair. It begins as a reclining infant high chair, converts into a toddler seat, then to a booster. I have taken the cushion off and thrown them in the washer to clean, its super easy. Obviously the print is cute too! The front cushion comes off too, if you don't want the green.

 Stroller: Bob Revolution SE Stroller, Black $449 On sale now at Babies "R" Us for $349. This stroller is AWESOME! We couldn't be any happier. We take it everywhere! It's built to go on the sand and rough terrain, and is a smooth ride for the baby and me. It has great shocks, and is so easy to push. Its a little awkward to lift into the car, and you have to buy the car seat adaptor and cup holder separately, but I am so happy with it. I have purchased a few umbrella strollers to have a lightweight option, but when I use them, I just miss my BOB! This comes in a variety of colors: Orange, plum, navy. However, as you can see, I love Black and Grey! Gender neutral and easy to clean!

Infant & Toddler Car seat: Maxi Cosi 'Pria 70' Car Seat $249.99 at Nordstrom. Fits 9-70 lbs. Rear and forward facing, with side impact protection. Ryder started getting a little restless in his infant car seat, and was growing so fast, I figured it was time for a new one. It looked so comfortable in the pictures, but its even better in person! The material is amazingly soft, I wish I could sit in it! Ryder is a happy little baby on car rides now!

The Diaper Bag

Petunia Pickle Bottom has mastered the diaper bag! I absolutely love my "boxy backpack". It comes with a long cross-body strap that you can drape over your stroller handles! It also has straps to use as a backpack. There are outside pockets for bottles and tons of pockets for organization on the inside. My favorite feature is the diaper changing pad that is attached and unzips from the outside of the bag. That section also has diaper/wipe pockets, as well as a tiny little pocket I use for binkies. I carry mine around every day. It is great quality, durable, fashionable, and they are worth every penny!

The black is a Nordstom exclusive $179
**Black is great because my hubby doesn't mind carrying it! :)

Super cute new Fall color featured on the Petunia Pickle Bottom site. Gender Neutral color. Comes in 2 sizes and lots of different designs. The glazed fabric easily wipes clean!

Changing pad is attached so you don't lose it!
