Currently Coveting

If you read last month's Back to School post, then you saw that the Mini Fashionista got some new  New Balance sneakers.

Having worked at Nike for 6 years, it was hard for me to have in her in a non-Nike, but these are just so cute, and they have velcro, and Nike doesn't offer many shoes in her size with velcro. 

After watching her run around in these cool kicks the last week, I'm coveting a pair for myself. 

Given how much navy and white I wear, I think these would be my first choice.

I have a birthday coming up next week, and these are definitely on my list. 

Back to School

It's hard to believe that it's already August, and the school year will be starting in just a matter of weeks. The Mini doesn't go back to school until September 7th, so thankfully we still have a month of summer left.

If you follow C&C on Instagram you may have seen these New Balance sneakers that I posted over the weekend. 

The Mini Fashionista can't tie her shoes yet, and last year we had far too many battles over what shoes she was going to wear, so this was the solution. Aren't they cute? We've also purchased a few other things that I thought I would share. 

Her Skip Hop lunch bag has been well used the last three years, so it was time for something new.

This one is actually bigger than the Skip Hop, which will be nice as sometimes the other one was a bit packed. 

She also needed a new backpack. Of course she had her sights set on something with rainbows or unicorns, but somehow her dad convinced her this was a better option (insert personal opinions of a male who never had sisters). 

Patagonia Refugio 

The Mini was actually ecstatic when we picked it up at REI. It's a perfect size for her body and will be great for school, hiking and travel. 

What's on your back to school list?

It's Hunting Season

Hunting season is quickly approaching, but let's be honest, I don't think many of our C&C readers are interested in hunting season. But, I know many of you are interested in the print associated with it: camouflage! 

So, if you are interested in hunting down some camo this fall, here are a few pieces worth tracking.

Old Navy twill Pocket Shorts on sale $15

New Balance 501 Camo $65

Free People Camo Printed Thermal $58

And, the great news is that all of these items come from Gap companies (Gap, Old Navy and Piper Lime), so you can order from multiple sites and combine shipping!
