The Polished Auntie: The Purple Princess Gia

Ten days after my 40th birthday, Nov 18, 2010 I became a proud auntie. I thought I was gonna be doing a lot of traveling in my 40's. At least that is what I had planned to do. I can still do it. But my neice lives with me most of the time so I am going to have to figure out how. I might just do some local traveling for now. I had always tried to envision in my mind what my niece of nephew would look like. Never did I imagine her to be sooooo adorable. My niece Gia is the cutest, feistiest and the silliest little 8 mos old baby ever! I have an absolute ball with her everyday Im with her. My son was fun when he was young but its just something about girls. I get to dress her up. She is like my walking, living "baby alive". I loved that little baby alive I had as a young girl. I love shopping for her and its so easy because I can find the cutest things for her for little of nothing at my fave discount shopping stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Ross. I found these adorable gladiator sandals in black patent leather and sparkling gold at Marshalls for her for only $5.99 a piece. I had to get them!

Www.gilt.com also has the cutest things for newborns and babies. I think this cute lace ruffle romper with the 3 buttons in the front will be my next purchase for my little niecey. Isn't it adorable?
