Wild for Wanderlust

Guess what time it is?! Yep. Nelly Madison Clothing Co.'s Preorder! Wildflower Wanderlust preorder will open at 10:00 am EST on October 10, 2017, & it is limited. Let's discuss that for a second.  We are looking at this small boutique's first Preorder Collection, which will certainly differ from larger mass produced preorders. Limited Preorders happen when there's a limited amount of resources available. It could be limited fabric, limited resources (machines, employees, etc), limited production time, any or all of this = limited preorder.  Nelly Madison is known for their amazing fabric combos, and they didn't disappoint with this seasonless collection!

So let's break this down.  We all know the Hannah style by now right? Hannah Bonanza took over summer 2017 wardrobes in the most beautiful and twirltastic way!

The stunning little Miss M is 3 years old, wearing a size 2 Spellbound Charms Hannah dress. She is 39" tall, and weighs 38 lbs.  This Hannah, available in sizes 2-7/8, is running just a touch shorter than others, because the bottom ruffle is shorter.  And see that little touch of rose under her Hannah? Those are Rose Bloomies that loaded last week and there are still some left on the site, as of right now anyway. I don't think they will last long though. 

Miss M's hair pretty is a M2M (made to match) from Hummingbirds in September, you can find them on Facebook right HERE.  It's so pretty! We opted for a clip, but it's also available on a headband.

This is Merce in a size 5 Spellbound Charms Hannah. You can see it's shorter than her usual look. she's also wearing size 5 Wildflower Bloomies with room to grow.

Next we have the Day Dream Josie Tunic! This isn't Baby E's first go round with Nelly Madison Group shots, you might recognize her from the Golden Fields Collection last Fall as well as Coney Island Carousel this past Winter...but she's not much of a baby anymore! 😢 She's growing into a beautiful little girl!

This tunic is adorable, and the bloomies are a perfect match!  Both the tunic and the bloomies come in sizes 12m up to 6. Two year old E is wearing a size 2, and is 39" tall and 39 lbs. The 2 was an amazing fit on her, with some room to grow as well. Merce can wear a size 6 with some room to grow at 49.5" and 52#. Miss E is also wearing size 2 bloomies with room to grow. She could have done a size 18m as well. the bloomies run large, so don't be afraid to size down!

Do you have sisters? This collection is Sister-Set Perfection! Look at these two! 💕 They hit it off from the moment the laid eyes on each other. I can see this being a life-long friendship.

Let's take a second to appreciate a little fall styling for the Spellbound Charms Hannah.... 
This beauty is wearing a fun Fall pairing for the Hannah, with a blazer, skinnies, socks and wedges. This is the size 5 Hannah on a 48", 52#, eight year old. This is my favorite thing about the Hannah style, it grows with your daughter! It is gorgeous as a dress, but so much fun as a tunic!

Merce is wearing the Spellbound Charms Hannah in a size 2, over the Coney Island Carousel Greta shirt (size 6), and under a cardigan from Wildflowers Clothing (size 8, runs a full size small). Her jeans are from a local boutique that is also online, bhip kids. And her shoes are from Ross's Dress for Less....they are her favorite "heels", she picked them out, and who am I to squash her little 6 year old style? Merce loved this look, and I might just have to cart myself a size 2 or 3 for her to wear like this! She'll want to wear it all winter! Her hair piece is the same beautiful piece by Hummingbirds in September.

Three pieces down, three to go! Let's look at The Enchanting Gossamer Lydia next.

Merce is now 49.5" and 52 lbs, wearing a size 6 Lydia comfortably.  She can also wear a 7/8 for added length. She has on a size 6 Greta shirt from Nelly Madison's Coney Island Carousel Collection, under the Lydia. The colors in this fabric are amazing. These colors will easily take your little girl from Fall to Spring. You can almost pair any color for layering and warmth.  You can add Nelly Madison's Pollies under for a fun look, or my go-to will be Brooke leggings from Madison Grace Clothing! Merce is wearing Crimson Clara socks from our Merce & Me Necessities, and Calliope boots from Livie and Luca. The boots are our favorite! She has worn them so many times, but they run small, she wears a size 1-1.5, and these size 2s are almost too small.  Underneath that gorgeous lydia, are the Wildflower blooms again. This gorgeous Enchanted Gossamer Lydia will be available in sizes 12m-7/8.

Another look at this Lydia.  I'd like to give a shout out to the Oklahoma wind for Merce's hair-do. Her boots here are fabulous. Lace up vintage-looking almost biker boots....I really should copyright that description. The laces tighten or loosen to accommodate different calf sizes! She is wearing a 1y, so I'm going to say they run true to size.

And now, let's talk Josephine. Josephine is Merce's favorite new style, because of the length and twirlability.  First up, is Miss J in Fairy Tale Garden Josephine.

The colors of this dress just suck me right in.  The fun white printed top, the deep teal next to the cranberry on top of the almost mint colored background with fun flowers.....it's so eyecatching.  Miss J is 4 years old, 32 lbs, and around 42" tall, and wearing a size 2. She typically wears a size 3-4 in clothing. I would call this a perfect fit. She has some room to grow, but not a lot. She easily could size up for a longer length, or down for a shorter length.

Holy Sister Sets! 😍

I would like to interrupt this Josephine discussion, for a bloomie update. We've seen the Wildflower Blooms....but here's a reminder.

Well guess what....there are more bloomies coming! They will load to the site at some point after the preorder. One of the other options is the reverse of Wildflower Bloomies....the trim color on these will be the main color on the others! And the main color on these will be the trim on the other.  Maybe they will call them Flowerwild?? 😂

the next pair that will be coming after the preorder, are the what-I-call "cranberry" patterned fabric in the other pieces. 💗

Now back to our last piece of the Wildflower Wanderlust Preorder.....The Mystical Forest Josephine! I love this one. SO MUCH. The pink top and fun colors are perfect for Fall, Winter and back into Spring & Summer! These are so easy to layer with a fun cardigan or sweater, and with all the amazing colors in these fabrics, you are sure to already have something to match!  Y'all have heard that Nelly Madison has increased their size range right??? Well this is the style! Both Josephine Dresses are available in sizes 12m up to 11/12. YES 11/12!! I bet there's some momma's that will be matching their little girls! 

Gorgeous Miss R, is 9 years old, wearing a 9/10 with just a bit of growing room. R is 4'9" (57"), and 80#. And isn't she just the prettiest?! I keep trying to convince her that it's ok for her to date my 9 year old son in 20 years, when they are allowed to date. She's so sweet while rejecting and crushing my dreams. 😂

So ladies, that is it. All six pieces and two bonus sneaks of blooms to come.  I know what my favorite pieces are, what are yours?! You have a little bit of time to figure it out, remember this loads October 10, 2017 at 10:00 AM EST. That's Eastern Standard Time!

See you in the carting line! ;)
