We didn't get home until after midnight from France last Wednesday so I didn't get a post up in time for What I Wore for the first time! We had a great time at Eurocamp Le Grand Metairie but I'll get into that more in another post. We really just spent time together the three of us without tv or computers and with very little internet; it was fun to just hang out and play cards or dominos with NotBlondeHusband on the deck at night after Blondie Boy had gone to bed.
I'm pretty sure we all ate our body weight in baguettes and Blondie Boy discovered a love of French butter which he'd lick and eat off the baguette and then ask for more--he'd end up with a shiny butter face and need to be hosed down afterwards.
We kept it really casual on holiday so my outfits really aren't worth a post. I wore several different Old Navy or Gap Vest Tops mixed with jeans or shorts--nothing exciting. So I will focus on what Blondie Boy wore because he is cuter than me anyway :)
Cincinnati Reds Baseball Hat
Harajuku Lovers Tee-shirt
HM Skullie Shorts
Polliwalks Sandals
I made him pose because I loved this outfit and knew I'd use it for What I Wore Wednesday! I just think he looks so cool but maybe I'm biased :)
If you have a toddler this is the coolest swim accessory EVER! Blondie Boy swam around by himself! There was a lazy river so he could just float and swim around and around and he loved it! He had so much fun at the pool and I can't recommend the Puddle Jumper enough!
Cincinnati Reds Baseball Cap
Superman Tee Shirt
Tu Cargo Pants
Converse
Blondie Boy loves his Cincinnati Reds hat, LOVES it. When we were sitting outside Beauvais airport waiting for check-in to open a man and woman saw his hat and asked if we were from Cincinnati. It turned out they were from Kettering where my Grandma lives in Ohio. It is "small world" moments like these that I love! It is probably why I subconsciously almost always travel in Cincinnati Bearcat shirts :)
I also puffy-heart love these Converse. There is Velcro to the side of the tongue so they are easy on and off and no laces to trip over. Plus the turquoise are just a super fun colour; I got them at the outlet malls in Cincinnati; if you are ever near a Converse Outlet go because the deals are amazing!

Blue Hooded Gap Sweatshirt
Marks and Spencer Jeans
Umm is it just me or does he look majorly grown up here? This is when we were kicking it outside the airport waiting for check-in. He just totally looks like such a big boy to me in this photo. I also love this sweatshirt because you can't tell but it makes his blue eyes just pop ;)
What do you wear on vacation? Do you dress up or just keep it casual?

He is beautiful! And those pics of him are absolutely adorable. Reminds me of when my son was young & I took pics practically every time he breathed. :) Glad you guys had a good time!
Your son is so cute! Love the outfits. I like to dress up when on vacation.
he is such a doll, I love his outfits. And sounds like you guys enjoyed your vacation.
Your son looks adorable! All his outfits are cute!
Such a cute little guy!
I love the grouchy gorilla shirt. What a cutie!
Aww he's so adorable! I especially love the baseball cap. I hope you had a great July 4th!
og my god, hes such a cutie and yes he looks so grown up bless him! Time for another?;)x
What a cutie! Love the chucks :)
I think I should perhaps have your children and you have mine!
Why do you say that? :)
Thanks! I'm a sucker for Chucks--reminds me of my grunge days :)
Aww thanks! I can barely manage one just now :)
Thank you! We were actually in transit on the 4th. We stopped at Omaha Beach on our way to the airport which seemed an appropriate thing to do :)
The Harajuku Lovers collection for Target is amazing!
Thanks we had a great time--more to come on the holiday :)
I like to dress up when I'm on a vacation with NBH but when we are on a family vacation and going to the beach or pool I just can't justify it!
Dude the vast majority of my iPhone memory is taken up by photos and videos of him! How old is your son now?
i tend to keep it real and comfy. nothing too over the top on vacay! glad you had a great time in france!!
oooh I love him! :) I try to stay casual on holiday, after all no-boy know you so its ok! x
so handsome - I just love love his hair.
He is SO cute! We live near Cincinnati so we are huge Reds fans and the boys each have a hat. :)
What a cutie you have on your hands!
Ashley:)
Your kids are cute. Glad you enjoyed your Holiday!
My goodness, Blondie Boy could not possibly be any cuter!
Cute! I love to get my kids dressed up too- much cuter than me!
So cute, especially the pic with the red hat! The destination -- and weather, of course -- dictates my vacation wardrobe. I wore lots of layers (and hiking boots) when we visited Scotland one time in the spring; tunics and swimsuits in Thailand; and dressier layers and flat boots in Vienna in the late fall. Uh oh, now I want to plan another vacation.... ;)

It sounds like you had an amazing vacation! What I wear when I travel depends on where I'm going - when I'm in Europe I try to dress up a bit - in the fall or winter that means skinny jeans tucked into riding boots, a sweater/scarf/etc. In the summer a flowy skirt and pretty flats. But if I'm hiking or doing more active things, it's comfort all the way!
I think I definitely dress up when on a city break (see my Swedish WIWW post) but we were at a big campsite so it just didn't make sense y'know?
Just one kid but thanks :)
Aww thanks! I grew up in Cincinnati so I'm a HUGE Cincinnati sports fan :)
I think I'd have looked daft walking around a campsite in heels y'know?
I love mixing it up on vacation and bringing my most creative outfits - most people will never see me again, so it is a great chance to try something new!
I love that your WIWW posts have developed to include outfits for all the family :-) Really enjoyed this post.
Those are most adorable children...absolutely cute! Thanks for stopping by my blog and inviting me over!

I'm loving the Converse - I'm a big converse fan as well! You could always link up for Trendy Toddler Tuesday - I'm hosting it for Maria for the next couple of weeks :) x
Love Blondie boy's outfits! My little guy has a spider man hat that he wants to wear all. the. time. ;) Those turquoise converse are perfection. ;)
What a dude! I like to be comfy on holiday, we are off to France for the same kind of holiday as you've just been on, but with Siblu holidays. Cannot wait!
Aww thanks Tiffany :)
Generally speaking only one of the two of us looks good at a time :)
You always need layers in Scotland year round :) I was almost exclusively sundresses in Thailand.
That is a fun way to think about it!
Aww thanks--it is really when I don't have any good outfits over the week of myself that I feature BB but he has such a fab style :)
Just the one kid but thanks! Hope you'll keep joining in :)
Ooh give me a nudge on Twitter? I didn't know you were taking over while she was in Chile!
Converse Outlet is the BEST thing ever!
It was not something I'd have chosen on my own but we did have a good time. It was absolutely perfect for a toddler with amazing pools and a baby animal farm on site plus playgrounds, kids groups, etc.
Aw thanks Ashley!
Thank you! I get a lot of stick from some people but his hair is just so pretty :)
Aw thanks! I just couldn't traipse around a campground in heels lol.
How can you not love a hit stylish dude with a superman t on?
can i have your little guy's hair please? he is SUPER precious!!!!
Good! Sounds like it will keep my kids (4 and 1) amused.
Soo cute!! The Reds Baseball cap look is adorable!

I've been meaning to get one of those puddle jumpers. Your little man is so stylish.
gosh he is tremendously cute! looking good!
Oh I LOVE this post, what a CUTIE he is!!! :)
Aww thank you! I think he's pretty cute but I'm biased!
Aw thanks Jane! He's much easier on the eyes than I :)
I honestly can't recommend it enough! It allowed him to be independent and gave him a lot of confidence in the water :)
Thanks! Half of the outfit is from the US and half from the UK :)
I love his hair too :)
I hope y'all have a great time!
such a cute little lad, and i love the way you dress him up - very stylish!
maybe we can follow each other if you like :)
