Amelia Presents

Amelia Presents is a curated shop in Oxford, Massachusetts where owner, Erin Abbott, strives for a certain aesthetic. With everything from home goods to baby items to handmade jewelry, she is always trying to bring you a shop that will keep you coming back to see what’s new.  And she does a darn good job at it!

I'm personally a huge fan of Erin and her work.  She pours tons of love and joy into what she does, and is always finding one-of-a-kind items to add to her shop.  Erin adds things to her shop in limited quantities for the specific reason of making sure you stand out from the rest and have a unique style.  She is great at making sure your shopping experience is nothing but the best, all the way to the day your items appear in your mailbox, all beautifully gifted and wrapped.  I also swoon on a daily basis over how she dresses her son, Tom, which is a little trendsetter and where I find a lot of inspiration on how I dress my own son.  (You can swoon too, if you follow her on Instagram!)

Amelia is stocked with some of my all time favorite brands, including this Mabo dress and Lululuvs hairclip that Everly is wearing and the Tiny Cottons tee Silas is wearing.  If you are following @ameliapresents on Instagram, you may see Erin post items regularly that you love, but aren't yet available on her website(like this Mabo dress).  You can simply send her an email and she will gladly hand process your order.

I'm so ecstatic to share with you that Erin will be joining Urban Cub to help kick off a new little series in June to give us a guest tour around her brick and mortar shop.  She will be sharing with us some of her passions and the history behind her shop as well!  

I am also excited to share that Erin is offering all of our readers 20% off their entire purchase at Amelia Presents today through June 1st with code "JUSTBECAUSE"!  She is ALSO having a huge Memorial Day weekend sale from May 23rd-26th, offering 30% off store-wide with code "SALUTE". (These codes, can't be combined.)

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

Wear >> Capes for Kids

I am loving being able to layer stuff for Scarlett, like vests and jackets, and one of my favorite...Capes!  I grabbed a few last season that I love, and I am wanting nearly every one I see from this season!  One of the many great things about capes is that they come in almost any material, and can be matched with anything in your closet!  I love the ones Wovenplay creates, they keep it classy but also make it very fun.  Mabo came out with an ADORABLE plaid one (#5, it also comes in red plaid) that I can't believe we don't own yet. And one more brand that I am completely loving right now is Fleur + Dot, just go take a peek, gorgeous...I promise. 

Here are a few other capes that I'm eyeing for Scarlett.

Bordeaux >> For the Whole Family

When I think of Fall I think of warm colors, flannels, hats, and layers. I have been dying to bring out all my deeper colored clothes, especially this Wine-Bordeaux color. 

It is such a warm color, and this year they have it on almost anything. I love to have a piece that has bold color and then add fun patterns and colors around it. 

Bordeaux is so fun to play with. It is very universal and can go with just about any color. I had so much fun putting these outfits together. There were so many options that it was hard to narrow it down.

I hope this helps give you some fun ideas about how to style Bordeaux, and gets you in the mood for  comfortable sweaters and cold nights. Scarlett and I can't wait to layer up and have some snuggles.
