MAMA AND LEÓN WEAR

Red. Check! Polka dots. Check! Sometimes Lucas and I like to match – no judgment please :). How adorable is his new tee from Kid & Kind? It’s called the “happy little guy” tee. So very fitting for my boy! His sweats are from boy + girl (see details here!). My dress is from The Freebird Shop and you can see more of this look over on Babiekins. xx

MAMA AND LEÓN WEAR AND A NOLA UPDATE

A quick iPhone photo shoot courtesy of papi before we went off to stuff our faces with pasta and salad 😉 Many of you asked via Instagram where you could find my shoes and they’re currently on sale here. They run true to size and are super comfy – perfect for chasing after the little man. My sweater is also on sale (wahoo!) but sadly I couldn’t find my pants online (these are similar). Lucas’s shirt is from Hugo Loves Tiki and has been a heavy rotation item in his wardrobe. It’s super light-weight and extra adorable. His moccs are from Freshly Picked and are limited edition butterscotch.

In other news, Ivan and I are headed to New Orleans. Our first solo vacation in 3 years. To say I’m excited would be a major understatement. Of course nothing is packed and I have a million errands to run before dropping señor Lucas off at grandma’s but who cares when adult beverages and alone time with my man are around the corner. NOLA we are coming for you!

My current obsession? This t-shirt dress from No Sweet. No Sweet is one of my very favorite brands for Lucas and they recently launched their big girl collection. I might have had a serious “eek!” moment because visions of being all matchy matchy with my boy took over and yes, I am THAT mom. I am going to be living in this dress all dang summer. It’s light weight and so so comfortable.  Lucas is wearing a bad ass sweater from Noonie and Nacho.  The line was created by Valerie Mayen who is also the designer of Yellowcake and one of the fab designers featured on season 8 of Project Runway (total fan girl over here!). Not only is her new children’s collection SICK, portions of all Noonie and Nacho sales will go to the HALO Foundation and Love & Hope Children’s Home. Seriously, so incredible. Her first collection just launched this week and I couldn’t be more honored to be working with such an amazing, talented lady.

Wednesday the hubs played hooky and we spent the whole day exploring the gardens in Central Park. Lucas and I sat and watched the ducks, calling out “pato, pato!”I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. We always explore as a family on the weekends, but there was something extra special about an outing together mid-week. Our little secret. There were no crowds – just us. Well, so it seemed. I suppose you’re never truly alone in a city like New york. But you follow me here, right? Wednesday was a gem, oh yes it was.
