Wordless Wednesday: Key West Flip

Taken on our annual holiday vacation to Key West, my teenage niece Elena whom my daughter affectionately calls "Meena".Eden's Bouquet Review *GIVEAWAY*
8:34 PM Posted by Erin
Okay, I know I went overboard on sharing photos of Rachel in the stunning Eden Ruffle Jeans (RTV $78) and lovely pale blue Swiss Dot Blouse (RTV $52) with diamond buttons and removable tie sash but feel lucky... I really wanted to add about twenty more photos of her in this precious outfit. From the fantastic Friday Harbor Collection, it truly is one of the sweetest, most charming two pieces she's ever been photographed in.

Dreamed up by designer and mother of many Jennifer Stenersen, Eden's Bouquet uses a palette of faded colors and earthy tones to create collections that are timeless and seasonless. Just imagine passing down her beautiful Ciel Bleu Gown to your daughter's daughter one day or christening your child with the simple and lovely Heirloom Gown. Not only will you fall in love with her remarkable clothing and workmanship, you will drool over the lovely photography she shares on her site and The Chronicles of Windy Ridge blog as well. Shop Eden's Bouquet for beauty and elegance and buy now while Rachel's gorgeous outfit is currently on sale for a total of $30 off for just two more days. Available from sizes 2t-8 I would take note that at 5t, my daughter's specific outfit fit her generously. Although I myself appreciate this as it will be wearable longer, you may want to consider the measurements when ordering from Eden's Bouquet.

A baby is always a miracle and how humbled am I to have received the opportunity to take these photos to capture the beginning of a beautiful life for our good friends L & R and their stunning daughter Kloey Amber! Arriving June 10th after many years of trying for a baby, this sweet little girl is a dream come true for L & R and just being around her gives This Mom major baby fever. I can't help but want to cuddle the deliciousness that is this brand new baby girl. Isn't she yummy?!
