Behind the Mini Fashion Scene with @livandlulu
"Hi! We're @livandlulu. My name is Sally and I'm the mama behind Olivia and Lucy, two tiny humans from Columbus, Ohio. We spend our Summers on the lake and our Winters hibernating. We have a very close knit family and spend almost everyday with them. The girls are miracle babes to say the least - my husband Charlie and I had to do everything under the sun to have a successful and healthy pregnancy and we couldn't imagine life any other way. The girls are at such a fun age - they love Disney Junior, their fluffy puppy Skippy, covering their arms in mama's bracelets, stuffing endless amount of fruit snacks in their mouths, stealing toys from each other, then making up with hugs and slobbery kisses."
Q: Why do you shop small?
"I started shopping small when the girls were born because there are only so many big box children's stores and I was sick of seeing the same exact thing on everyone. Since I started, it has grown into so much more than looking for unique fashion for my littles - I shop small because I want to support the hustlers. The mamas that are working hard sewing after their kiddos are in bed or designing tees during nap time, trying to put food on the table or pay for that dance class their babe is dying to be a part of. I have developed some seriously amazing friendships in the small shop community and I hope that only continues to grow as time goes on."
Q: How did you discover the small shop world?
"I discovered the small shop world on a whim - it started with some Etsy searches and following a few of the 'big' small shops on IG when I was pregnant with the twins. It didn't take long for me to realize that there was an entire community behind it and I was immediately hooked."
Q: What is your favorite way to style a tee?
"Before entering the brand rep world, I had no idea how many ways there were to style a tee. Now I know the options are endless and I've had so much fun developing the girls style over time. I absolutely love pairing a tee with a @tinandella tutu to dress it up and give it some girly flair. I also adore a comfy tee with some distressed denim from @farmfreshdenim for the days we're out and about. Then, for the days the girls are on the move, I like to pair a tee with some amazing leggings and matching turban from @autumnnicoledesigns for ultimate comfort and style. And - let's be honest....most of the time when we're at home, I style a tee with a diaper....there's really nothing cuter that chubby baby legs!"
Q: What has been your favorite design from Neverland Crew Clothing?
"Ummm. All of them! Seriously though - I think my original favorite is the Explore design because its initially what brought me to the shop. It was so creative, yet simple and it made me want to go explore! More recently though, my new favorite is the 'Good To Be Me' design. I think my love for this one stems from my girls being twins - everyone (including me!) groups them together as 'the twins'. I want them to know that while that is such a large part of their identity, they are each their own person and unique in their own individual ways. I think the message that this tee holds is really important for every child (and adult)!"
Q: Do your girls like to pick out their own outfits?
"Ha! If by picking out their out outfit you mean reaching in drawers and pulling everything out, then yes! I'm not looking forward to the days when my girls have opinions on their outfits - its going to be a real point of contention for this control freak mama!"
Q: What's your favorite part about Neverland Crew Clothing?
"There is so much that I could say here - I love every aspect of Neverland Crew Clothing. Ashley, the mama behind the shop is one of the kindest, most supportive ladies I've come across in the small shop world and her hubby is so talented and hand draws many of the unique designs. Every new release totally makes me smile and I know that for every single holiday, there is going to be some crazy good shirt that my girls just can't live without. Neverland Crew Clothing is one of those shops that once you discover, you will never look back - the tees will become a part of so many of your kiddos childhood memories - I promise!"
