Official Baby Itch

Ok, I'll go right ahead and admit it that I guess I'm feeling the baby itch now.  Hubs and I are approaching our one year wedding anniversary and although we've discussed waiting until next year for children, I'm having a ball scoping out a wish list of must haves.

I've mentioned Suvi Ainoa's line before, but seriously people, you MUST check out her collection.  She's just launched her summer collection (stating it's a bit tardy, but that's the rebel in her- so cute)!  I've put these items on my must-haves for sure.  I love the simplicity of her designs, the natural materials and clean look.  I recently just discovered she lives in San Diego as well, who knows, maybe I'll run into designer Yanyan at Starbucks or the beach -or maybe not considering the last beach trip she had in her Maxi dress (read her blog here for some fun posts)!  Please check out her collections, they are so beyond stunning!  This woman needs to be featured on Martha!

And check out this top- LOVING!!!

Also, I'm loving these diaper bags from Pottery Barn Kids, so simple yet stylish.  Would I dare consider a white diaper bag?  Probably not, but the navy is pretty awesome too!

Also digging the new colors launched within Serena and Lily's fabric collection seen here- fresh and modern!

Gathering thoughts couldn't be more fun.  I anticipate it being even more exciting next year ;-)

Natural Children's Wear

Oooopsy, it's happened again, life gets crazy and posting gets light!  Ugh, I miss my little blog when I don't get to post daily!

So, not that I have baby fever- I've just been noticing sweet things lately.  I've decided that the clothing line from Suvi Ainoa is more than awesome!  I've decided that when hubs and have our first child, whether it be a boy or girl, the child will be wearing the awesome linen suspender pants- so adorable!

We also attended a baby shower for hub's friend, whose wife is due in August with their first child- a boy!  I actually had a blast pulling together a goody box for the baby, as I became pretty resourceful and was stoked on how it turned out.  I think I may have even mumbled "Dang, this is awesome, I'd want this if someone made it for me"!  Oh really, did I say that?  Um yeah, I was just that excited!  Here's what hubs and I came up with for them:

It was a bath set including a hippo animal bath wrap from Pottery Barn Kids, a bath cleansing set from PB kids, baby brush set and Q-tips, white Organic Gerber onsies, Mommy calling cards I made her using the elephant design from Restoration Hardware Baby and Kids to include her name, email, and phone number.  Everything was put together in a natural grass cloth box that could be used in the baby's nursery for storage.

What do you think?  If you were expecting, would you enjoy this box?
