Puddles Collection Dress Review

12:13 AM Posted by Erin




Searching for a beautiful dress or suit for your little guy or girl this Christmas, New Year's, or any special occassion on your social calendar? Search no further than Puddles Collection well laid out website. This terrific online boutique stocks everything from perfect seasonal dresses for holiday photos to elegant dresses for flower girls and communions and everyday wear as well. We were so excited to have the opportunity to review the beautiful red Lauren dress (rtv $55) we were sent from Puddles Collection.



Now my daughter only gets studio portraits done once a year so I always like to find her a very special dress to be photographed in. I obviously had a very hard time selecting a dress from the vast array of dresses this boutique offers. Between the Candy, Mady, and Cassandra dresses, choosing just one would be very hard but after much deliberation I decided Lauren would look best on my girl.  The lovely Lauren dress we received is a very vibrant scarlet shade with beautiful attention to detail. The front waistband features a sheer ribbon embroidered with rosettes and dotted with beading. Puffed balloon sleeves and shirring on the bodice sweep into a poofy and dramatic skirt while underneath holds a built in crinoline and tulle for extra added oomph. We ordered my daughter's dress just a bit large, but I actually like the length and found it wasn't noticeable in photos since she was sitting anyway and the waist is adjustable with the tie of the ribbon in back for a perfect fit. Trust me, the portraits came out gorgeous and the photographer adored Rachel's angelic dress.



For moms of boys who usually have a harder time finding attractive formal wear, Puddles Collection has a great selection of dapper suits like the Charles in black pinstripe (rtv $55) and tuxedos as well as attractive shoes, ties, and accessories. Basically Puddles Collection has something for dress up for every boy and girl. Perfect fuss free shopping that will save time, money, and energy as well as provide your little prince or princess with excellent apparel.

Admiral Road *GIVEAWAY*

3:26 PM Posted by Erin


I'll be honest, Christmas doesn't really feel all that festive when you live in the "Sunshine State". Oh, what I wouldn't give for a white Christmas. So while I'm feeling envious that most of the rest of the country has pulled out their winter coats and snow boots, what I'm really jealous of is that my daughter can't wear the adorable and funky scarves (rtv $12) from the Aardavark Collection at Admiral Road. Perfect to keep either a boy or girl toasty, these scarves measure 6"x50" in kids sizes and 6"x60" in big kids and are machine washable. How cozy and hip would your son be in the awesome Skull and Crossbones scarf? Or maybe add it to your daughter's hot pink and black punk girl outfit for a complete look.


Admiral Road also produces completely original tees for kids. Their fun Treasure Tees (rtv $20) feature charming toys sewn into the scene behind clear plastic. I am certain my daughter would be all over the Ballerina shirt. I love that the toys come in different colors, making certain each shirt is one of a kind and they're machine washable and dryer safe which is essential for any kid. Plus they use my favorite shirts, American Apparel to print on. I've always found their shirts to be flattering, comfortable, and durable. Just be sure to order up as their sizes tend to run small.
Now that you've got your scarf and shirt, only one more thing needed to keep cozy this winter. A beautiful blanket personalized (or not) just for you. How out of this world cool would it be to snuggle up with the Spaceship blanket (rtv $79 or $69) made from 100% non-pill fleece. Perfect for watching movies or taken on the road with you this holiday season, it's 38 x 59" size makes it wonderful for babies and kiddies alike.



Admiral Road is full of great ideas to keep kids cozy and cute this winter season. Now I'll go back to dreaming of hot cocoa and snow flurries.
