Shop the Sponsors - Created & Collected

I love prints, I think they're great for summer. You don't really wear a lot of layers so you've got to make a big statement with as little clothes as possible. The sundress is a great place to get it, floral prints, novelties, stripes, plaid...you can't beat a print. And where do I go for prints? Sponsors of course, Created and Collected has a huge selection of amazing and beautiful prints to choose from, like these:

 I adore a v neck floral!

 you really can't go wrong with a striped sheath!

 40s seersucker dress, how fab is this print!

OMG how adorable is this 70s novelty print skirt?!

 Gorgeous 60s column dress with button detail and modernist print..yes please!

 Butterflies + full skirt!

 Love the graphic element of this simple sheath.

 PLAID! My favorite print and this dress is right up my alley. I want want want!

 A gorgeous "swim dress" just like my DeWeese, a must have for summer!!!

 Not all summer days are hot, how about this colorful two piece look dress with quilted skirt.

WHOA! I love this mini dress!!! Looks like waves of tang..haha

I am in love with these prints. There are so so so many more in the Created and Collected shop.

Vintage Nursery Decor

I'm all about vintage decor in my house. Curtains, chairs, tables, wall decor, bedroom set, lamps..all of it is vintage. So I am extra passionate about having vintage decor in my son's room too. Adding vintage accessories to your nursery is simple, especially if you have a theme or color scheme. Here are my "must adds" to create the perfect vintage accented nursery.

1. Wall Hangings

- There are tons of fun chalkware pieces that are great for kids rooms and if you're not comfortable with chalkwear there are also great 70s plastic wall hangings (like I have) or wood ones.

 Elephants

 Ballerinas

 Bird Hooks

 Poodles

 Bird & Nest

Bear Wall Hook

2. Lamps

- A fun lamp is a great way to add some character to your nursery. You can go with a figural lamp or just a table lamp in a fun color.

 Giraffe

 Elephant

 Wooden Figures

Horse Lamp

Jack and Jill

3. Book Ends

Kids get a lot of books and you'll probably need a bookshelf eventually but you dont really need a lot of book storage until their first birthday or so..so a set of cute bookends will work great, especially for "special" books that maybe you don't want them to drool all over.

 Elephants

 Kittens

 Unicorns

Seals

4. Blankets

 - Most people have at least one of these made for them by a friend or family member but they're great for photos, nap time and tummy time. Plus buying vintage is cheaper than having one "custom made"

 Blue & Mustard

 Blue & Teal

 Pink Yellow Blue

Pink

5. Toys, Nick Knacks

 - I think its really great to add something to your child's room that you had in your room or you remember playing with.

 Blocks

 Airplane Mobile

 Puzzle

 Pull Wagon

Rocking Horse

There are lots of other ways to add fun vintage details to your nursery like curtains, hangers, lighting or even furniture! Use your imagination.
