I'm always looking for practical accessories for Ruby. This girl is definitely rebelling against all things girly. So if I don't just want her in sweatpants and a T-shirt, I've gotta come up with something creative.

Her 1 year milestone shoot with Baby Rose Photography was dead in the middle of winter. I was dying for some shots in the fresh snow. So we had to bundle our little snow baby up. I was looking for a not so stocking hat, and bonnets are making a come back. Yay!! So to etsy I went.

Almost instantly I came across a shop called Ally and Annie. The name and the goods got my attention. White quilted, Sherpa lined (option or organic Sherpa), leather ties, with this adorable faux fur pom. A little shabby chic, a little vintage, with a modern flare. Sold!!! She got this beauty out to me just in time for her pictures, rush shipped it for me even. You can see some of those amazing photos here.

The ties encourage her to keep it on the whole time we're out romping around. The soft insulated fabric keeps her thin hair covered head warm. She's totally styling even if she hasn't gotten out of her sweatpants.

It's a score for mom, and a "thanks mom" later in life for her.

I can't wait to show you more looks from Ally and Annie. Until then follow her here on instagram or here at her etsy shop.

We couldn't get the the perfect location that day so we shot in my photographer's backyard. Get creative when planning your family photograph session, or let Baby Rose take care of that for you!
