Summertime Catch Up

this pic is from may! but i just came across it, and love it :) 

Whew!

So this old blogging hiatus has continued... This summer has proven to be really busy.. In all the right ways.  

We've taken a couple of nice little vacations {and there are some pictures here on the blog from one.. the others I think I'll share this week??}... And I've been putting most of my after-work, after babytime energy into my little sapling of a photography business!  {Anne Gassaway Photography}I love it!

Also also also.... I am starting a brand new job tomorrow... Leaving my old job was so tough in many ways.. I'd been there for almost four years.. Forming some close bonds, with I'd have to say, the most supportive colleagues I'd ever worked with..  But my new job sort of fell into my lap....and I couldn't turn it down. 

So tomorrow is the first day of the new jobby. Last week felt a little bit cray, trying to wrap  up everything at my old place... {and this was the sort of job where no one ever was caught up... so i tried my best to finally catch up.....hellloooo, can you say exhausting??}

Oh!  A few weeks ago, I also got to do a really really super fun photoshoot, where I was actually in front of the camera! Those pictures will be coming to the bloggy too. 

And if you're with me on Instagram (@_cassie_h)  all of this is obviously old news....

So anyway... Just wanted to start getting the blog things caught up with the real life things.. ;)

Kerubins Baby Boutique // +a special promo code!!

 {dress c/o Kerubins Baby Boutique}

When I discovered Kerubins Baby Boutique, I felt like I'd come upon a special, hidden treasure.  

The styles that they carry are so classic // timeless // and elegant // but also fun and playful and bright...WITH that Spanish flair. 

Kerubins was started by two women, Malu and Dayana {from Spain and Venezuala}, who met while living in Charlotte, NC a few years ago.  Both women were pregnant with baby girls during the same year, and naturally started building their tiny baby wardrobes while they were still in-utero, searching for the quintessential Spanish style dresses that they had grown up wearing.  

With no luck. 

So when Malu & her hubby eventually moved back to Spain to be near family, she did what any good girlfriend would do... She started shipping those Spanish clothes to Dayana who was still here in the States. 

 And that is where the seedling for Kerubins was born. 

Kerubins comes from the Spanish word for cherub -- Querubin. 

Spanish babies are often called Querubin, the same way we use the word 'sweetie', or 'pumpkin, or 'ladybug'.

Today, Malu carefully hand picks all of the designs in Spain.  She and Dayana look for high quality, versatility, durability, and of course -- they look for the pretty.  

As Malu says, they want their little girls to look pretty but most importantly, to be little girls. 

"They need to play get dirty, jump and have fun".   

Yes. 

The dress that they were kind enough to send for Isabel is all of that.  

It is made with exceptional quality {and I am really picky when it comes to this}.  

The fabric is the perfect weight cotton, there is a light inside lining, and all of the sewing is flawless.

The colors are SO vibrant, they're gorgeous.

The cut is perfect for Izzy because it's short and trim - so she can move around and be wild without getting hung up in her dress.

There are so many adorable dresses on the website. 

Here are a few of my favorites: 

 {and how cute is that red/white/blue dress for the 4th of July??!}

For the next 2 weeks, Kerubins is giving my readers a special discount.  {!!!!!}

Use code HOMEANDSASS to get 20% off of anything in the store. 

Love that!!!

{You can also check out Kerubins on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.}

 

Who doesn't want their little girl to have a few European chic dresses ??? ;) 

Happy shopping!
