FYI : The winning Gap jumper goes well with CAAB stuff!

[papal]

We went to Gymbo in the evening to check if the CAAB tights would match the red gap corduroy jumper.. and it does!
The toes and the waist are orange (not red) BUT since they will be covered by black patent leather MaryJanes.. it won't matter.. lol. PLUS, i think the CAAB tights would go with the Chicka Chicka Hanna dress too (does anyone have both, can they confirm this). This being my third time in a Gymbo, i had no idea about the Gymbucks and what not, so i just paid full retail.. she said that if they go on sale, you can get a PA or something.. but it was not much and i did not want to wait for a sale.. just in case they run out of these pieces!

So here they are, completing the birthday outfit (we decided the Hanna eyelet pieces might not go with the mod look of the jumper after all.. but i am getting those to try anyway).
Now where are the best pair of black maryjanes? :)

ETA: I did see the bunny fur coat but i saw no mention of Bunny Fur anywhere.. Anna, if you want, I can send you one from here!

I LOVE it! I want those tights too, but my store is out. :( I haven't decided what K will wear, but I've shopped a lot for her, so maybe something I've got for her already...or something I will get with my 2 gymbucks...I gave in big time! :P We're going to have to start party planning! So, are you going to have leela wear her outfit for her party and then strip her down for cake eating or what? That's my plan....plus I'll have to get some 12 mo pics in whatever special outfit too. I wish I could get Juliet's photographer. Those black and whites of Finn are always stunning. I'm rambling now, but I can't wait to see pics of leela in this outfit!

Sherri, i think my store had all sizes available in those tights, so let me know if you want them and i can mail them to you. Or just put a call out, maybe there is someone even closer than me.. let me know girlie!

Yep, wear the dress for the party and pics and then strip down for the cake.. i am contemplating getting a nice wooly fuzz for the cake-part..heehee. I know, i LOVE the work Juliet's photographer does. We are going to do our own pics at the party and either the day before or after get the professional to come and do some black and white pics of Leela, Leela and my mom etc.

Will definitely post pics.. i am all revved up about the celebration now that the dress is here.. lol... still have to do invitations and such.. which are mostly for her scrapbook album because it is going to be a family affair and the family will arrive regardless of whether they recieve an invite or not..lol.

How are your party plans coming along girlie?!

[papal]

[papal]

DROOLING over the PRIMIGI red ones.. but $50!! eeks! i just don't think i could justify it.. eeks.. i love them!! STACEY!! You are killing me here girlie!! lol!

[gour0]

Blame Newbelly2002! I'd never heard of Primigi before I met her. ;)
They're both Primigi. You could try doing a Froogle search by item # maybe? Besides, I thought you layette ladies were always looking for a new guilty pleasure....
You can ask the company if there is a retailer near you.

Thanks! I am SO not a LL (Layette Lady)... i mostly lurk and post questions and admire all the babies! The true LLs would be Maureen, Denise, Megan, Lisa, Kerry, Kerri, Jenn etc.. lol.. i think they should have their own pin. :)

Just noticed, she's sold out of the red mary jane's and they don't come in a small size (start at 22 which is 5 1/2) so I guess you're safe from temptation! Darn it all. I love red shoes for kids. I don't suppose she's already a 5 1/2? BEcause she seems to have these http://store1.yimg.com/I/childrensrack_1804_24165802
in stock, but same size. Oh! And, forgot to mention she sells on ebay and is auctioning these there. Hmm, does Leela need a pair for next spring? http://tinyurl.com/58s2p

Rashmi, htat is so cute. It is perfect for an Autumn b-day. Hee hee, I've even been shopping for you. I was out today and found a darling dress (too big, though). Shopping for girls is so different.

Now, what will Finny wear for his bday? I want to do his 1 year pictures in a sailor suit, but that is a bit too formal for his party. Mmm, keep your eyes open.

There are red leather primagi mary janes at hanna, but not patent. http://www.hannaandersson.com/images/s7Style/28892_030.jpg
