Do you have a girly girl? If your little girl loves to dress up and have tea, this is the perfect issue for you. We also have a little something for those girly girl moms.
a tutu fit for a princess For the little girl that dreams of sugarplum fairies and magic wands, a tutu is a necessity. While tutu’s are plentiful these days, we think that her favorite dress up item should be a magical accessory that is kept forever. Tutu Couture can help you create just that type of tutu. Created for the whimsical princess in us all, Tutu Couture will make her dreams come true with one of their handcrafted pieces created especially for your little princess.
Each tutu is created from over seventy yards of premium tulle and hand-embellished to create an heirloom your princess will cherish forever. At Nordstrom’s special online boutique, you can design your very own tutu and the ladies at Tutu Couture will create it just for you. Choose from four lengths, beautiful colors, and add on with beautiful embellishments like a bow, rhinestones, pom poms, and flowers (or keep it classic).
In just four weeks her very own tutu will arrive and we think this is a wonderful gift worth waiting for. Pricing ranges between $55 to $95, well worth the years of memories to come.
calling all lovers of pink For a girly mom (you know who you are) who adores all things pink, the JP Lizzy Strawberry Truffle Classic Tote Set is simply a must have! This tote is the perfect size for travels with baby, not too big and not to small. We love that the fabric is a microfiber that easily wipes down and the liner is just as friendly to messes. Not only do you get this adorable tote, but its about all the extras ladies! Included inside the bag are a coordinating changing pad, cosmetic bag and wristlet (perfect for a quick run into the convenient store). With pockets galore and metal feet to keep it looking good, we are simply in love with JP Lizzy’s tote set. Not a lover of pink? Don’t fret! JP Lizzy has tons of looks to choose from and we are sure you will find the diaper bag that suits your style.

mirror mirror on the wall For a true girly girl, a full-length mirror is required for dress up and daily primping. We love this classic Chevalier Mirror we found at KooKoo Bear Kids.
