LUCA & AZUL GO SHOPPING...

The twins and I decided to go on a shopping adventure the other day, I know I said that I didn't enjoy shopping actually I said that I hated and I do, but shopping local that I dig because I get to see people that I adore.

There is no secret that I love to dress up my kids, and I know that in the society that we live now every other mama out there loves it too and even do I love my kids I would never buy them a $150.00 dollar jumper because that's just not me I would rather donate that money to a kid in need, but that's just me so since I don't even have the kind of cash to spend I get creative dressing the kids, I design most of their clothes, we thrift some stuff, sometimes I even make them share stuff :) which is fun for me because I get to create two different outfits from one piece, I am always looking for fun and unique things for them so if you are like me, you may like this new little feature that we are going to add to the blog.

We are going to take you on a little adventure around Des Moines, Iowa (yes, we live here and WE LOVE IT.) featuring some awesome local shops where you can find unique and cool stuff for your wee. For all of you friends out there no worries, some of the places we will be visiting also sell online, and just for the record I am not getting paid by anybody to do this, so don't think im trying to make you buy stuff, I just thought that would be awesome to feature the best local shops ever! plus the twins and I get to live that house ;) 

Let's start with Vitae a super cute store own by some very amazing and talentend ladies, oh and very beautiful too, Vitae Design collective has everything from limited run designer clothing, amazing jewelry, vintage finds and now they even have a kids section which I am about to show you right now!                                                         

If you follow me on IG you know that my Azul is a big fan of her Indian shirt from Acanthus Appareal Alyssa and Joshua Bowers are the brains behind Acanthus their stuff is always in my favorite list of things to buy for the kids their designs are always original, they even have stuff for your puppies, so do yourself a favor and go buy Acanthus for the whole family you would be missing out if you don't do it. If you are not a local, you can buy from here. And you can thank me later!
