Designer Christmas Dresses for Girls

Early though it may be, I've already started shopping for fall and winter.  For me, fall is the season for fashion, and the holidays are like the grand finale.  After that the fashion world obsesses over spring for about ten minutes and then skips right ahead to the next fall. 

So yes, shopping now, because this is when you snag the best deals.  I just bought a gorgeous black silk dropwaist tunic by Society for Rational Dress and a green sequin dress by Alice and Olivia, both for less than a fifth of their original prices and I'm feeling very smug about it.  The tunic was positively made to be worn to an art gallery opening on a blustery Saturday afternoon in the fall.  And as for the green sequin number - you guessed it, my Christmas dress. 

This fall and winter, my favorite trends from 2010 are definitely sticking around.  It's all about looking classy, classy, classy.  All the most traditional elements of glamour are being combined with ultra preppy details to create some of the best fashion yet.  Girls Christmas dresses will be coming in positively adorable styles.  Everything from chic, clean lines done in beautiful plaid prints (like the image above) to elaborate little girl Christmas dresses in ruffles, tulle and sequins. 

Take my advice, find your toddler Christmas dress or baby girl Christmas dresses now.  Tiz the season to be shopping, so check out all the gorgeous designer Christmas dresses for girls at Sophias Style, and snag those awesome deals before someone else does!

A VERY LATE ARRIVAL

HI all,

So the Hijab Fashion Week is 2 days in or by the time I post this it will be day 3. Anyways I was very slow to signing up before the deadline for the whole featured participants thing.
I think it's a great idea put forward by the sisters to allow us to participate on a global scale.
One thing I find hard about it is the Categories. They are pretty much what we see in blogs anyways. And I'm not good at being told what to do/wear :P that's my problem right.
Ohh well  here's my attempted at a formal wear:

hahaha i told you it was a late arrival.. meh i'm still posting it hahaha

Love always,

Out and about in Melbourne!!!!!!!!!

Hello to all the gorgeous ladies,

Hope your all well inshallah.
I spent the day out in Melbourne shopping and eating out with my older sister which was awesome. We haven't really had  the time recently to have an entire day out together. Soo alhamdulliah we really enjoyed every minute of it :)
You would think that we live hours apart but we share the same bloody room. It amazes me how days and weeks go by without doing anythings together.(A lot of it is to do with my crazy work hours)
A sister bonding session was the best way to end the week.
So off to South Wharf DFO we went, a bit of shopping took place which was was fun and then wondered along the Yarra until we got hungry (and pay parking meter $$$$$$ only increasing by the min) .
Ok granted it wasn't the best Melbourne weather to be out in but hey you can't let the weather get the best of you. Specially if your living here. hahahhahaha you will be waiting forever.
As my sister was snapping a few pics for here, I realised that I wasn't really sharing enough of my gorgeous city. Seriously I started to blog for that very reason. Not happy at all with myself :(
So I decided there and then, when my camera arrives next week I will showcase to you all, why I live in the best city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's a few snaps of my day out and about in Melbourne:

That's what i'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ladies,

Hope your all enjoying your weekend with the special ones. Alhamdulliah I enjoyed mine doing pretty much nothing. hahahah it's a good thing sometimes.
I really want to share with you all the Asos things that arrived over 2 weeks ago but I don't have my camera yet and none wants to take a descant pic (except my gorgeous niece).
Anyways I was surfing the net as you do and I stumbled across a tab I had saved of the gorgeous and ever soo talented Hijabi designer Rabia Z .
I have previously posted on Rabia here and her amazing designs but I sort of haven't seen her latest designs. So I though I share a few here.

I'm going to order this one

I love the dress.... not so sure about the hijab

Amazing

Is it reversible?

The Gorgeous Rabia.. love red

So how talented is she mashallah.I'm dying to do to the UAE and visit the stores there.

Fabulous Girl's Outerwear | Sophias Style

Girl's Outerwear

When I say fabulous in that title, I mean it!  Look at this awesome girls coat by Spoiled Little Mama!  Some may think it's too much, but I personally like that this designer managed to put three of this season's biggest trends all into one piece; metallics, ruffles and moto details.  Little girls outerwear can be unapologetically trendy and look adorable. 

Summer may have only just begun, but Fall 2011 fashion shows are well under way, and you're going to love some of the girls dress coats we've already got in at Sophias.  They come in all different sizes and styles, so you can find baby girl dress coats to go with your little girls outerwear, or find separate styles for everyone!  My mom and aunt used to try to get matching clothing for me and my cousins all the time.   

Get to shopping early for your baby girls outerwear, now's the time to grab all the best styles at discount prices!

Tears, laughter but most of all all the love for the Queen OPRAH!!!!

Hi ladies out in blogger land,

Hope your all doing well.
Tonight was an emotional night for me. I'm sure many felt the same watching the farewell  part 1 for the Queen of talk shows. The one and only OPRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The memories from the shows are countless. I love the fact you can walk away from an hour of watching her with a message.
As an African women she was my second  mum, big sister and best friend.
I read certain books because Oprah loved them on her show. It was seeing big issues such as racism, self esteem, love, beauty, betrayal and many more cover. They are issues talked about daily would say, but on the Oprah show, these very issues were discussed on another level. Many opening my eyes to soo much to that of which I know today.  
All day I have refrained from thinking about tonight's show but It did not last.
For someone that has stopped watching televission shows for the last 2 years I have to say there will not be much point sitting infront of the box.
 I doubt that someone can say they never gained anything from watching the Oprah Winfrey show.
Clearly you were looking the other way. 

For 25 years (if not a bit longer) a black women or as she would say  " I am lil colored girl from Mississippi" changed peoples life because she had a wealth of love.
OPRAH thank you for the life lesson you taught me.

Here she is looking amazing...........

beautiful dress

Lazy Sunday

Hello to all the lovely ladies,

Hope your all well and enjoyed your weekend.
It was a lovely Sunday enjoyed thoroughly doing.... pretty much nothing. It was cold and very gloomy all day.
Babysitting my nieces for a few hours and I ended going to a near by shopping center because the little two year old was getting very difficult to deal with.
Omg I have to give it to all the mums out there. How on earth do u get around a shopping center with the little ones? Seriously my patience was wearing very thin.

All in all a wonderful day spent with my beautiful nieces.
Oh here is what I wore....

Charcoal jacket

Chealse skirt

Novo boots

Equip bag

Thank you soo much for my followers. Loving your support!!!

It's reassuring to know I'm not blogging to myself....hahahahah 

Love always,

Hey ladies,

Hope were all doing well wherever you maybe.
I have been having one of those weeks, you know were you kinda of haven't really achieved much yet some how just some how you feel satisfied with that little bit. ahhhh Alhamdulliah for everything!!!!!!!!

Last week I did the unthinkable and visited the Asos site. The aim was to BROWSE only.
My mind was telling me 'you don't have the money", just don't buy for the sake of it and amongst many other very wise things. Forty minutes later going through the winter sales and I stumbled across some beauties.
I know I'm an impulsive buyer and I need help!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways here are the beauties I'm waiting to get my hands on:

Must have Cardi for any Hijabi

Love the Skirt... just praying it's as good on

A bit of colour this winter

Sorta getting out of my comfort zone with this one

I can't wait to get into this cable dress

There you have it.
I'm an Implusive shopper and it sucks more then ever.
So anything you ladies like?
Was it worth the impulsive buy or a big thumps down :(

Love always,

Bonnie Jean Dresses

The temperatures in Omaha, Nebraska have shot up to 96 degrees over the last couple of days.  It is hot and humid and should be awful but I love it.  Spring is seriously here and summer is right on it's heels.  Yesterday when I got home, I opened all the windows in my apartment, turned on the ceiling fans and took a nap.  When I woke up, it was still light outside so I went to a cafe and had coffee with a friend on the patio and discussed the merits of writing form poetry in a society that is growing more fond of free verse everyday.  That is the perfect[ly nerdy] way to spend an evening. 

If I had to choose one perfect brand of clothing for this season, it would be Bonnie Jean clothing.  Their styles always feel so in tune with the season and the current trends, but still manage to appeal to more traditional tastes as well.  Every little girl should be wearing boutiquey Bonnie Jean dresses and sparkly shoes right now.  I especially love the set in the image because the dress comes with the jean jacket- perfect for the indecisive weather that spring brings. 
Shop Bonnie Jean clothes for your little girl or Bonnie baby clothes for your infant girl today at Sophias Style!

Today was more finishing house chores before the week starts and it's safe to say I can tick all those horrible things of my to do list :)
My weekend ends tonight, back to work for another week.
Hope you all have a wonderful, easy and fulfilling week ahead.

Here's a little bad attempted of what I wore a few days a go.......

Le Mistral



A Provençal santon, or Christmas figure, facing the Mistral

 It's very windy outside today in Omaha, and it's making me nostalgic.  Before moving to Omaha, I was living in Southern France, near Marseilles.  In the winter, they have what's called the Mistral, which is an incredibly strong wind that comes from the North and blows for days, sometimes weeks, at a time.  It's dreadful, but also kind of charming.  Everywhere you go, you have to bundle up and walk with your head down.  Lost hats and newspapers are constantly flying around the streets in towns.  You pass by shopkeepers fighting to secure their awnings and dragging any outdoor displays indoors before the Mistral takes them away.  Every time you turn a corner you have to brace yourself for new currents of wind that hit hard enough to knock children and petite adults to the ground.  "Sacre Mistral" becomes the muttered mantra throughout all of Provence. 
Supposedly, if you can survive the fury of the Mistral, it will eventually bring good health.  It dries stagnant water and clears the skies.  It's the secret ingredient behind Provence's otherwise perpetually sunny days. 

At Christmas time, Provençal churches and town squares are decorated with displays of santons like the one in the image.  Even the figures are oftentimes depicted as bracing themselves against the Mistral!  Christmas is very beautiful in Europe, and it's so cute to see little French girls in baby girl Christmas dresses!  Speaking of, nows a good time to find a great bargain on Christmas dresses, so if you need a girls Christmas dress or a toddlers Christmas dress, stop by Sophias Style today!

Roper Cowgirl Boots | Sophias Style



Roper Cowgirl Boots

Now, I know I just lectured you a few blogs ago about the importance of having a pair of cowboy boots in your closet, but the weather outside in Omaha today is perfect for boots and I feel like talking about it again.  Just look at how cute Kate Bosworth and that other girl (whoever she is) are in their boots in the images below! 

The most important thing to remember when shopping for cowboy boots is that quality matters.  You want a well known brand for these, trust me.  There's nothing worse than a pair of rock-bottom plastic boots pinching your toes all day.  For kids boots, the quality is equally important if not more.  Kids care more about comfort, style is secondary (kids are smarter than us) so don't just hit up Wal Mart for the cheapest possible pair of boots.  Instead, come to Sophias Style and get an absurdly good deal on a pair of real, high quality Roper cowgirl boots. 


Kate Bosworth and Unidentified Texter Rocking Cowgirl Boots

Roper boots for girls are always in style, always well made, and always guaranted to look fabulous.  Her feet will be comfortable, and she'll look too darling for words. 

I  don't normally condone obsessing about labels, but Roper is one you should be proud to sport.  This company makes a quality, timeless product.  Their selection of Roper kids boots is full of fun colors and styles.  Your little girl is sure to love them, and she'll be able to wear them with almost anything in her closet.  My favorite way to style cowboy boots is with a sundress and a cardi, but they also never fail to look great with skinny jeans and a sweater or t-shirt, or shorts.  They work for any season- they're warm enough for winter and utilitarian enough to be justified in the summer.  On top of all of that, they're good for her feet and safe.
