Style || Summer Trends for Kids

This year's summer trends are involving lots of embroidery, tassels and pom poms and for little girls it's no different. I picked a few faves from one my favorite stores...J crew. Now that Gus and Olivia are practically in kids sizes (where did my babies go?! I can't believe this is happening and it's giving me bad case of baby fever!!) I can finally shop at crew cuts for them!! eeekkkk!! Can you sense the excitement?! 

All of these picks are from the Online Factory Store -- which by the way is amazing!!!  

Once again, I am a sucker for color. love the brights. I also love what they did with the regular chino shorts --making them more feminine by adding ruffles. Genius. Lots of colored shorts that you can mix and match with almost any of the tops below!

And well, for the boys, Navy is always in. at least at our house. Gus is going through a phase where he only wants to wear blue. But lots of colored shorts and seersucker --which are two faves of mine. I think Gus has has a pair of seersucker shorts every summer since he was born. And it's such a neutral! You can easily pair it with almost any color.

Timeless & Classic + A Giveaway || This and That for Kids

So remember when when I had mentioned that we did a photoshoot for a Children's Smocked Clothes Company? Wellll....I got the pictures back from the shoot for this feature and they are so adorable!!  I am so excited to feature them on here because this clothes is just classic and timeless! 

Their fall line is to die for! I am kind of biased, I think, because I love anything smocked for Gus and Olivia! But the quality of the clothing that This and That for Kids offers is top notch! It washes great and can be used for everyday wear AND for special occasions. 

I love that they carry matching sets for siblings of all ages but in different styles! As you saw, we matched Gus and Olivia in the first few pictures with the Smocked cows. In this last picture, Olivia and big cousin, Valeria, are matching in the lady bug outfits!

Alexander and Sophia + The Coral Pear + Natalie Atick Photography

If you haven't already noticed I have a passion for children's clothes. Oftentimes, I find myself shopping wayy more for my little ones than myself. I just cant help it! 

Today, I am featuring two stylish children's brands who are both owned by moms. The first one, Alexander and Sophia, is a children's clothing line with adorable, hip styles for little ones. The talented women behind this line is a team of sisters, which I find so incredible!! 

The second is The Coral Pear, a baby shoe brand. They make all different styles of top quality leather baby moccs that are competely baby proof--meaning they are very hard for toddlers to get take them off! DING DING DING!!! That is the biggest problem I have with velcro baby shoes for Olivia! I highly recommend you check them out!

These women gave me the opportunity to style pieces from their latest Summer Collections on Gus and Olivia! Which I was thrilled about! 

On Olivia, I paired Alexander and Sophia's Dainty Lace Shorts with a simple chambray top and Pale Pink Bow Moccs from The Coral Pear. 

I am completely in love with these shorts! I love how delicate and feminine they are! The bow moccs, I think, sets The Coral Pear apart from other baby Moccs brands. I love that they are more girly that other uni-sex mocc styles! They are so comfortable for baby's chubby feet and very durable!

Gus is wearing the Bowtie Button Up from Alexander and Sophia with some bright Salmon Shorts and our favorite Saltwater Sandals. 

And the button up with the chambray is seriously just the cutest! It's classy but stylish at the same time! That's one of the things I love about their lines!

It was such a pleasure working with all of these lovely ladies and their fabulous brands for this collaboration and a huge Thank you to Natalie Atick for snapping these shots for us! Check her out here for all of your photography needs! 

And Lastly, Alexander and Sophia is giving away a $25 gift certificate to their online store to one of my fabulous readers!! The giveaway will start today and end Tuesday June 17th at midnight!
