The Bean’s first birthday. We had a small family party on the porch of a beach house facing the ocean. I chose a little white knit dress with pink trim made by the Tea Collection for the Birthday Girl. I loved it so much. It’s in the box of keepsakes with the dress she wore home from the hospital and a few of my most treasured little snuggly baby clothes.

I have been a fan of the San Francisco-based Tea Collection ever since. How perfect, then, that Tea offered us some of their new spring clothes to try out right here in the Bay Area when the Bean and her Daddy came out to visit me for two weeks. We spent sunny days eating delicious gelato in Berkeley and hiking in the Marin headlands enjoying gorgeous views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Bean is sporting the Boardwalk V-Neck Dress and Skinny Capri Leggings in Wild Rose, and the Flamenco Drop Waist Dress in Orange in these pics. The designs are gorgeous and inspired by worldwide culture, and the quality is evident. Their baby clothes make gorgeous baby and baby shower gifts and their twirling dresses will satisfy even the most style-conscious preschoolers.

My love affair with the Bay Area continues.

Many thanks to Tea Collection for sending us the beautiful clothing to review.  As always, all opinions are firmly our own and were in no way influenced by anyone.
