Andrea, I’ve been meaning to ask about how you buy sizes for Miss Lila. Is she petite? She looks like she has the same body type as my daughter (who is very small). Any suggestions for brands? Where do you find pants/jeans that fit well?ReplyCancel

andrea -she is! she’s about average height but still hasn’t hit 30lbs. when i can’t shop in person and try things on her, i usually will just place an order and adjust the next one if things are too big/small. with shorts i can still get away with buying baby sizes, but that doesn’t work for pants as her legs are quite long! i’ve had really good luck with joe’s jeans (i usually get them on sale through haute look) and allsaints (who sadly discontinued their children’s line). i think in the fall, when she is turning 4, she will start fitting into zara’s 2-3 denim which is fairly slim and has a lot of length! hope that helps 🙂 xo.ReplyCancel
Amber - eek! I must know where lila’s swimmers are from! AMAZING!
andrea - 77kids last spring!!
Amber - Thanks! They are just too cute! I’ve been doing a little online shopping (crew cuts! eek!), so I’ll have to check out 77kids 🙂
Michelle - So cute!

Amber - I have the same problem with Eva — her “skinny” jeans look more like clown pants! They fit in the length but are huge in the waist : ( I’ve found Witchery (http://www.witchery.com.au/witcherykids/w1/i5504355/) has the slimmest fit.
Coryann - Does that swimsuit come in my size?! Haha ; ]
andrea - right?! i want one too!
Kate - Miss Lila sure is looking super cool this summer. Your summer pictures make me want to pick up the camera and get shooting 🙂
