A slightly English moment, with a long black toggle cardigan and a tomato red corduroy newsboy cap. A good look for her.

Ava at Brookey's wedding, in a beautiful floral chintz gown. (I hate that you can't see her shoes, which were white eyelet slingback wedges.) Flanked by her cute boys-in-waiting in seersucker, she looked perfect for the perfect summer wedding.

Ava always find her own entertainment, even when she's having to sit around watching Colson's birthday party. That's just how she rolls.

Cotton candy pink sweater and cotton candy hair. That's what little girls are made of.

Waiting for painted toenails to dry...while wearing a lavender ruffled halter top.
