small style #42

holy moly the weather has been nice here in Ottawa!

+25 celsius and above so far this week :)

it's fun to see Isla loving to be outside!

Sunday after supper we went outside and Isla took her "baby" out for a walk.

seriously cute.

Isla is loving her baby these days. 

she carries her around and pats her back and reads to her.

it's lovely to think of miss Isla being a big sister.

shirt/dress: Outfitters Junior, thrifted ($2.99!!)

onesie: Carter's, consigned

leggings: Gap Kids

socks: Old Navy

shoes: Nike, borrowed

sunnies: Carter's, bought by Gramma Kiki

while it has been super duper warm around here,

it does look like it's going to get a bit cooler over the weekend,

i'm not too bothered, 

such hot weather so early in the year makes this preggie nervous about how hot the summer could be!
i am also usually a super sun safety conscious kind of lady,
but i keep forgetting to slap a hat on Isla's fair little head!
so i'm claiming it's because the heat crept up on me.

Morgan (the momma who started this whole small style revolution)

Miss Isla is pretty happy to have been part of small style this year :)

we haven't been there since the beginning,

Isla is getting so big...

it's fun and a little sad at the same time :)
