If you were to look at my blog reader, you would see that I follow a ton of blogs! My friend's blogs, crafty blogs, etsy designer blogs...you get the idea, I am a blog junkie! I took notice of Dear Lillie's blog over a year ago and have been a faithful follower ever since, and I swear it is not because Jenni, the creator (along with her mom and sisters), shares the same name (and even spelling of our name) as I do! Girlfriend has incredible style and pretty much everything she decorates I am left drooling over!
I was lucky enough to win this dress from one of their giveaways that they often do on from their blog! I was obsessed with it, but when it looked better on my mom than it did me, I made her take it, despite my love for it! Then, on another crafty blog that I follow a few days later, I won a tutu for Lola! Yes, I was on a winning streak for sure and was so lucky to win something this time for Lola! The second we opened the tutu in the mail, Lola immediately wanted to put it on and prance around in it, so I grabbed the camera and we headed out for a last minute, totally unplanned photo shoot! I love how she was so carefree in those pictures! If you missed them the first time, you can check them out here, here, or here! The loved Lola in her tutu so much that they renamed the tutu we won after her!
When I saw pictures of Lillie (Jenni's daughter and beautiful Dear Lillie model) wearing her aunt Dana's latest creation, the Briar hat, I was sold! I wasn't sure if Lola would rock the hat though, so I waited for it to get a little colder here in AZ and busted out her pink hat from Old Navy (that I love) from last year as a test run to see if she would keep it on her head before I made the purchase! Lucky for me, she loves her hats and how warm they keep her head! Just when I get ready to order, I see Lillie rocking the Holly hat and I read on the blog that these are going to be available in ready to ship on December 12, but that they only have a limited amount, I was even more excited! I put in an order for Lola's hat and I think it was only 2 days later when it arrived! True to how Lola loves Dear Lillie, off we went with her new red hat to take more pictures (lucky for me, Lola is NOT shy when it comes to taking pictures, and LOVES having the camera snapped at her)!

This is what happens when you tell her (and what seems like any two/three year old) to say "Cheese". Where are my child's eyes? Lesson learned. Despite not seeing her eyes, I adore this picture for all of the silliness that it displays! She is a ham, for sure.
So from that point on, I just snapped her playing, not cheesing!
Thank you Dear Lillie for making such beautiful pieces. Every time we get a pretty box of yours in the mail I feel inspired to take pictures of my beautiful Lola! 
PS - If you haven't ever ventured over to Dear Lillie's blog before, now is the perfect time to start! They have an awesome giveaway going on!!!
