LEÓN WEARS

On Friday there was a distinct chill in the air that inspired me to tackle the big job of switching Summer/Fall clothes. About a 1/2 hour in I took a look at the mess and wanted to give up, but at that point there was no turning back. Piles upon piles took over the apartment – clothes to donate, clothes that were so stained they were no longer salvageable, clothes to save (both for the next kiddo and sentimental reasons)..the list goes on. After two hours I was home free. Beautiful (yes, beautiful) clean, organized drawers filled to the brim with clothes waiting to be worn on perfect chilly days. I’ve been hoarding this H&M Unicef shirt since last Spring. It’s still a tad big but I couldn’t wait for Lucas to wear it. And ps – those moccs? Freshly Picked has done it again. OX BLOOD people. They will be released on October 3rd and you don’t wanna miss your chance to get your hands on these bad boys. So mark your calendars 😉 Also, Susan – who is the creator of FP and just about the nicest, generous, super star mama around – is nominated for Martha Stewart’s American Made award. If anyone deserves to win, it’s this lady right here. It would mean the world if you could take a minute to vote. As if Susan couldn’t get any sweeter, she’s giving away a FREE pair of moccs a day through next Friday on Facebook. All you need to do is vote!

BESOS DE MAMI | TROMMPO

This week Besos de Mami has teamed up with Trommpo. This incredibly gorgeous children’s line was founded in 2010 by Catalina Bouza and Dean Xavier. Carolina is Uruguayan and this is where their workshop is also located. They locally produce all of their garments on family based farms! The Trommpo signature design is simple: bold, graphic, and with imagination and play in mind. When Karla and I received our packages in the mail we couldn’t get over the cut and quality of each piece. Luxurious to the touch – swoon! They fit both Lucas and France beautifully with room to grow. Best part? They look amazing and the kids are comfortable. Winning all around. Karla and I had the opportunity to chat with Carolina and she was an absolute doll.
What do you enjoy doing on your free time?
Going to the movies, spending time with my sisters, walking our dogs, going to museums and food markets.
 
Tell us your top “mom essentials”.
A loving attitude and patience. Having enough time to share with her and being really present in our playing sessions.
 
What is your biggest inspiration?
Modern and contemporary art. I love going to museums to get inspired.

You can read the rest of our interview (and see little France modeling her threads) over on Karla’s blog. You don’t to miss little France modeling ). Carolina – thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Trommpo has won over this mamas heart.
Karla and I are honored to highlight amazing companies influenced and run by strong, Latina women. We hope this will empower everyone to have the courage to make their dreams come true!

I’m obsessed with this denim jacket from Camp Wolf. Created and designed by hot blogging mama Cora, it’s hand-crafted with vintage fabric. Her store launches this August – you can find jackets, vests, and BOW-TIES! I love me a good bow-tie 😉 You can also find Cora sharing her life with her adorable (and fashion savvy) son Miles over at Miles, Papa, & Me. Follow Camp Wolf on Instagram for updates on her launch.

We are in love with Little Boogaweezin! I met the talented mama behind this awesome children’s line through Instagram and after seeing photo after photo in my feed of adorable babes #littleboogaweezinstyled, I knew Lucas needed in 😉 I love a good legging and these are perfect for our everyday adventures (you can also check out Lucas in their infamous “milk dunk” tank here)
