And, of course, how adorable is little boy?  Just you wait. Our little one will be rocking the stripes, blazer, skinnies with sneakers, and straw hat…

I’m not a big fan of the bright, puffy sneakers Mick wears.  But I’ll admit, these are just too cute.  I guess if you make anything miniature it’s cute.  These are by Stella McCartney for GAP kids.  Isn’t the line adorable?!

Again, maybe I feel like I can relate to the “ex-Cheerio” because in my high school career I was on both the dance team (not cheer, but come one, they’re all the same) and school choir.  And, well, I probably fit in more with the choir rejects.  And while I am fully aware that cute little Quinn isn’t pregnant in real life, and she doesn’t have to worry about hiding early pregnancy weight gain, I still like her *ahem* “young lady” style.  At the end scene Quinn wore a really cute, ruffly, lose-fitting tank with a cardigan over it.  In my fifteen minute on-line search I haven’t been able to find anything similar to it.  If anyone knows what shirt I’m talking about and knows where I can find one, please help.  I have one serious fat roll I need help covering.

but that goes to this:

to this:

From the designer Dana Karwis’s website:

Party Dress functions as a pavilion worn exclusively by five women that seamlessly injects architecture into fashion by using the body as space. The dress begins as a shared, bustled garment that gradually unfolds to create a temporary, inhabitable structure. Each seam, each dress, and each body are interconnected by a single, amorphous surface of flowing material.

It’s pretty cool, but I just think of the five women.  Wouldn’t it be cumbersome to stand there all night?
