if i had a...uh,

girl?

thank goodness there is such a thing as premium outlet shopping centers. it doesn't make sense to buy adorably cute baby clothes anywhere else (except target and/or walmart of course). babies grow too quickly, by the time you buy one size of shoes, dress or pj's - they're ready to fit into the next size up 2-3 weeks later.

but why in the world am i even talking about baby clothes (no, family, i'm not prego!!) - think my biological clock is ticking though. i'm finding myself paying more and more attention to babies wherever i go: grocery store, pharmacy, everywhere! and everytime, i'm saying inside, "i want one!" ;)

then i start to daydream. oh no, why is that baby barefooted? it's so cold! didn't the mother have time to put on little booties? oh gosh, look at that hair! or, oh my, that outfit looks one size too small - or - yeah, get the picture? i just want one of my very own to...have. one day. soon? ;) kidding. sort of.

anyway, really, this whole thing started when i was obsessing over a certain bag, or bags by burberry and some by kate spade (i know, i thought i kicked the kate spade bag love a while back but she keeps drawing me in with her new designs!!)

and somehow i saw this tote: the burberry haymarket tote bag. i thought it was a cute tote, but started to compare it to one i really wanted: the bridle housecheck shoulder bag. it's so gorgeous! anyway, i thought compared to the bridle housecheck shoulder bag, the haymarket tote bag was cute, but more to use as a baby bag. that's when i started getting these ideas. i started to roam into the burberry children's wear part of website - and how CUTE are the clothes!! i wouldn't buy it full price/retail - i'd wait to buy these clothes at the burberry outlet - if, well when, i have a little baby to spoil!! :D

^ burberry security lamb blankie toy. so cute.

^ burberry peacoat. i would DEFINITELY dress my future little girl in this adorable little peacoat! awwwwww, i SO love it!! the style, the color - everything!

^ burberry dress. oh my gawsh. i have to have this for a future little girl.!

sigh. burberry dress (again)..

and.....UGG maryjanes, so warm and fuzzy looking - perfect for little baby girls at wintertime, don't you think??

^ i thought these cute little things would be $100 (USD) and was so shocked to see they are only $50!! that'd be SOOO worth it - and even more so if it's 20-40% off at a burberry outlet store right? :D

^ and of course i'd use the haymarket tote as a baby bag... ;)

^ or a kate spade baby bag. how cute!!

.... i want one!!!!! (whining voice).
