Happy Halloween!

Girl's Halloween Costume

Have you seen this gorgeous Belle costume?!  This honestly makes me wish I was a kid again, I loved Beauty and the Beast!  Belle was so awesome, she liked to read books, she totally ignored the big, arrogant jock guy, Gaston, and then she fell in love with the Beast instead.  Fabulous story, great music, too. 

If Belle isn't your little girl's favorite herione, not to worry, we have a huge selection of other princesses, mermaids and more, so you'll find the perfect girl's halloween costume or baby girls halloween costumes for your family. 

It's been awhile since I've had time to post activity ideas, but you're in luck- because today I have three adorable Halloween ideas for your family and neighbors!  I didn't come up with these on my own, they're courtesy of my wonderful office-neighbor, Jean. 

Idea 1:  Host a neighborhood safe party!
Serve chilli or soup, and request that each family in attendance bring a side dish.  Set up classic Halloween games for the kids, like bobbing for apples.  Require all the adults to bring a picture of themselves when they were little wearing a costume.  Kids love to see photos of their parents as children, and the adults will have fun laughing about how cute and dorky everyone was! 

Idea 2:  Visit a local nursing home or retirement home (call first, of course) with the kids. 
A lot of times, the people in these homes don't get to see kids in Halloween costumes, so it's a sweet way to brighten up their Halloween season.  Bring "treats," like large-print magazines and playing cards, and maybe hard candy. 

Idea 3:  If you live near a college or university, call and see if there's something you can do for the freshman dormitories.  A lot of those kids are away from home for the first time, and come the end of October, might be getting quite homesick.  A little bag of Halloween treats made with love might really cheer them up. 

Hopefully you'll find those ideas useful!  Don't forget to check out Sophia's Style when you start shopping for that perfect Halloween costume! 

Happy October (tomorrow's the 1st, so don't forget to pay rent!)

Start Christmas Shopping Now!

Christmas Dresses

Christmas can be so stressful sometimes.  I love buying gifts for my family and close friends, but I hate when I can't think of anything original.  My poor brother, he must have an entire closet full of sweaters from me- he's been getting a few for every holiday since I was sixteen.  Don't get me wrong, they're great sweaters, I have impeccable taste, but there isn't really any suspense when it comes times to open gifts.  This year, I'm hoping he'll ask his girlfriend to marry him, and then they can have babies and I can buy them this gorgeous diaper bag next Christmas! 

I've already planned all the ways I'll spoil their kids when they have them- which irritates my brother to no end (weird, right?).  Hopefully there'll be a girl, so I can take her shopping and buy her beautiful girls clothes from Sophia's Style.  I also want him to have a girl every time I look at the stunning Christmas dresses we've got on the site! 

If you need a baby Christmas dress or a little girl Christmas dress, you have to see our selection.  Everything looks so lovely and festive, it reminds me of shopping with my mom for my Christmas dress before the Christmas pageant at school every winter.  I had this one really pretty black velvet dress that reminds me this beautiful Bonnie Jean dress we're carrying right now. 

There's no avoiding the holiday stress altogether, but at least you can start your shopping early and avoid the nightmarish mall scene this year.  Find your little girls dress on Sophia's Style, and don't forget to check out all our other catagories, you might find some unique gifts!

First Day Of Fall | Sophia's Style

Here's a fun fact to share with the kids:  Last night, the full moon of September arrived on the same night as the autumnal equinox, to mark the official start of the fall season in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as spring in the south.  This hasn't happened since 1991, and won't happen again until 2029! 

Anyhow, it's officially fall, and I think we all owe it to ourselves to go on a fall shopping spree.  If you've got a little girl in your life, you should be noticing the adorable Bonnie Jean set pictured to the left.  Adorable, right?  I know.  I linked it, so you can click it and go right to it's page on Sophia's Style.

Baby Boy Clothes | Sophia's Style

Let's all take a second to admire the absurdly adorable photo to the left.
Ok, now, Sophia's Style has- and no doubt this is in large part due to the name and the fact that it's a company run by a family with two little girls and no little boys- a bit of a reputation for being solely a girls clothing boutique.  However, it's a lesser known fact that we carry loads of fantastic, boutique quality boys clothing as well! 
If you're a clever mum or dad, you should realize that this information gives you an edge.  Your son can be the best dressed little boy in town, because no one else knows that such great boys clothes and baby boys clothes are being sold online for such incredible prices!  Just look at that picture!  That kid looks like a toddler version of some Scandinavian billionaire architect on holiday in Greece.  Granted, he's only wearing a pair of white linen pants, but anyone who's been to a coastal city in Europe during the summer will tell you- that's virtually the only thing guys wear that time of year. 
So there you have it:  An affordable way to dress your child like a wealthy European.  Shop Sophia's Style boys clothing, so your boy can look fabulous and you can save money.

Perfect Flower Girl Dresses | Sophia's Style

I went to the most beautiful wedding this weekend.  It was outdoors, and the weather was perfect- which was so lucky, because the very next day was a rainy mess- and everyone in the wedding party looked stunning. 
The flower girl wore this beautiful little tea length flower girl dress with a puffy skirt, and she was so obviously loving it and enjoying all the attention she was getting.  I wish I'd had a camera so I could post a photo of her!  I did, however, find this adorable photo of twin flower girls in their flower girl dresses from Sophia's Style on our Sophia's Style Stars page, and I had to share it.  The girls look gorgeous, and I love the dresses they're wearing.

Personalized Gifts For Your Loved Ones | Sophia's Style

While in college, I nannyed for a family with five children, and the youngest one was a little girl named Madeline who was only two months old when I started.  Her mother had of course received lots of gifts when Maddie was born, and amoung them were two particularly precious things:  a blanket with Madeline's name embroidered in one corner, and a pink sleeper with her name embroidered on the chest.  It turns out, these were gifts from Maddie's godmother, and she'd had them made for each of the children in the family.  Maddie's mom told me they'd use the sleeper until Maddie outgrew it, and then she wanted to save it with Maddie's scrapbook.  All of the kids were still using their special blankets with their names on them; even the ten-year-old. 
It really does mean a lot to new Mothers and Fathers to received personalized baby gifts and personalized baby clothes.  It's also good for older kids because personalized kids clothes help children learn to recognize letters and sound out words. 
Adding embroidery to gifts is a great way to make standard presents extra special, so if you're shopping for a baby shower gift of a birthday present, make sure you consider it!

Fall's Hottest Trends in Girls Clothing

This fall, there are so many great trends for girls clothes that you simply can't let your little girl miss out on.  At Sophia's Style, we carry all the newest styles, so you can find everything you need for your little fashionista right here! 

Here's what not to miss: 

Mixed Prints

This trend is fun for girls of all ages, and no matter how they do it they'll wind up looking adorable.  For younger girls, the dress pictured to the right is perfect- it's bright, fun and playful, but not overly babyish- so it will look just as cute on a toddler as it does on a six year old! 

Ruffles and Tiers 

This season's twist on plaid- a much loved fall and winter classic- is so girly and sweet.  Everything is coming out with ruffled, tiered skirts.  My favorites are the ones that alternate houndstooth with different plaids.  It somehow manages to be silly and sophisticated at the same time, and it always makes me a bit nostalgic for school. 

Layered Corduroy Jumpers
By no stretch of the imagination am I a morning person- I have a coffee maker on my nightstand- and when it's cold outside, it takes about four different alarms to get me out of my cozy bed.  But I remember when I was in fourth grade, I had this really cute navy corduroy outfit that came with a matching turtleneck and ribknit tights (yes, I remember my fourth grade wardrobe, stop judging), and I wore it as often as possible because it was so warm.  It was actually easier for me to talk myself into getting out of bed on the mornings when I knew I was going to get to wear that outfit.  Corduroy is the warmest, most comfortable fabric- and layered over an ultra-soft mockneck?  Hello best winter outfit ever! 


Come shop these awesome trends at Sophia's Style, where you can find the best quality girls clothing and baby girls clothing for the lowest possible prices!
