more of the summer trunk...

This is the other 4th of July skirt I designed...no blue in this one, red white and pink...so it does have a great look to wear all year, but just darling for the holiday as well. It's a version of the little frenchie skirt, so all rouched and so fun to twirl in...or climb a fence!

I am loving this photo below, this is the Knotted Twirl dress in Mulberry...I did this one to transition to back to school, it's just every little girl {and mom's} favorite, so I am sure it would be the most fun to wear going back to school, it will layer with the peasant tops under it really cute. The back is all smocked for a perfect fit, and totally adjustable to wear for a couple yearsl, who doesn't love that!

And, then there are the sweetest ruffled aprons....this are available in all sorts of color combinations, but the coral is just too perfect for a garden party! Layer over our dresses, leggings or pants...this stands alone as a great piece and every little girl needs a little apron to have her own tea party!
What you don't see is the cutest little fabric flower embellished with a button center on the other side of this apron...you will love, I promise!

Snippets of the summer trunk...

So I decided to keep an ongoing trunk show of a selection of my designs in the shop all the time! Basically, everyone is always picking a different size of something or other when they are here, so I figured why not show it as a trunk show and not sell the sample, so everyone can pick exactly what they like...of course the above piece is a little more one of a kind as it features a pillowcase hem...so there will still be one of a kinds in the trunk with vintage linens and vintage linen screenprints.

If you are interested in hosting your own Pipsqueak Couture trunk show, please contact me! There are great perks, and there will be a catalog look book! That way you can see how I pair and layer things up. Above, Aspen has on the Little Liberty skirt for the 4th of July...I have two versions, and professional pics of them coming, so stay tuned right here!

Did you notice how Aspen has to feature her toy of the day? Right now she is obsessed with these plastic frogs, and she insisted that they, and her ballet tights {also a new obsession} be a part of the photos....after which she promptly lost the frogs for 24 hours because she didn't remember where she put them!

This is our pinkalicious puff sleeve dress with the framed cherub on it...perfect for a hot summer day...as I type this on a 40 degree rainy day!

Owls and birdcages for Spring!

My favorite new dress for summer...the royal owl...Bonjour Mon Amie...the details are absolutely fabulous on this little ditty...and every little girl that has spotted this dress in my boutique wants it! So the puff sleeve owl dress is shown with our garden party pants detailed with birds on them...and then for even more fun, I created this halter dress/top...Aspen is wearing it as a top but it is made to wear the first year as a dress and the second year as a top...it is all smocked in the back so it is completely adjustable!

Shown here in olive citrus...a fun combo of orange and green and features the little birdcage chandelier I love so much...unique and boho chic!

And one other new dress to show your for spring and summer, the little crochet dress...all hand dyed and crocheted, ties with a darling crochet tie that has large plum crystals hanging from it...and then has the birdcages screenprinted on it as well...cute and comfy for summer to say the least!

Happy Easter!

Since I didn't get pics of my two girls before they were already out of their Easter dresses, I wanted to share one of my customer's pics of her daughter....she got some darling pics of her kiddos....I thought these featured the Pipsqueak Couture really well! I cannot even wait until we can get photos outside with flowers in the background...it is right around the corner, I just know it!

Zoe is wearing our french peasant top and the little frenchie skirt...both of which are available in all sorts of color combinations, although I think this may be my fav!

all in a day's work...

Aspen is helping me work on the windows, or should I say take apart the windows to play with the props...she's wearing a dress I made for her a couple years ago...pink lemonade I called it, it has the cutest vintage cherries and lemonade hanky on the front of it!

So I was saying to Aspen to give me a minute this morning because I needed to take some pictures...and she said, "of me mommy?" Well sure, we can do that too! She is becoming quite the helper lately...yesterday, a customer was coming out of the dressing room at my shop and she says, "we have lots more dresses you can try on!" She is too funny, already the sales lady at just three years old...I think that happened sooner than I imagined it would.

And a new color and pattern for my favorite dress...this one is white with bright pink and orange and a little aqua...very fun for spring and summer!

snowy spring...

Exactly how are you supposed to wear your cute, new spring dresses when you are getting 6-12 inches of snow on a weekly basis....with black, high boots of course! I can't wait for some flowers to come so these clothes can be photographed outside with bare feet!

if you give a mouse a cookie...

Aspen and London both love the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie...and miss London just made me think of it with these pics...If you give London milk and cheese...then you might just get a cute picture of her!

Notice she needs two bottles of milk, plus a string cheese! She is a growing girl you know! London is wearing some vintage Pipsqueak Couture...this was Miss Aspen's outfit...the perfect crawling option to not show how filthy she can get crawling amuck at work!
