Dwelling in the desert means living in layers during the winter months. On some days, the weather likes to be comical and play games. Seriously, it can be 34 degrees at night and then shoot up to 65 during the day. Say what? Obviously, layers become my best friend when it comes to dressing during these abnormal temperature ranges. Leggings and thermals are my go to, because I can use it as my base layer and go from there. Stick with neutral colors for the base in cozy knit materials. Then, play it up with mixed materials and patterns for added warmth and depth. For a casual day, I like to throw on a printed cardigan or a structured jacket. Tall boots and beanies are a good addition and keep my toes and head toasty for a morning out with my little ones. Layer it up!

I have an insane amount of respect for the trendy mama of today’s busy world.
While I was outfitted in athletic-wear at the local public library’s “Story Time”, I spotted Abnous and Winn. Week after week, Abnous, as if stepping off the pages of the trendiest Pinterest boards, toted in 2 year old Winn making dressing our babiekins as toddler trendsetters seem like a piece of cake.
My two boys were usually just covered in cake.
What do you love most about dressing your kiddos?
I have always viewed fashion as almost an art form. I never really cared about brands, but buying what stands out to me as something beautiful and unique. I love that the kids are like blank canvases; they can pull off just about anything! Cameron’s at the age where she’s starting to develop an opinion about what she wants to wear so it’s fun to see what she comes up with sometimes!
Favorite brands/ shoppes / designers?
Zara, Crewcuts, Gap, Antik Batik, Atsuyo Et Akiko, Thief & Bandit, H&M. My favorite line Ace & Jig now has a kids’ line!
