MOMMA PLEASE??? floral print dresses that make me wish I had a little girl

I love my little boy. I would not trade him for anything in the world – but I have to say when I first found out I was having a boy I felt a twinge of sadness… As a stylist, I always imagines shopping on the pink side of the store and all the cute little dresses I could put my little girl in and the fun we would have going shopping… Perhaps its best that I had a little boy (for my our wallet anyway). My husband is one of 5 boys and all the boys have boys so it was always going to be in my cards – that said, I am so in love with my baby boy and having so much fun with him and even enjoying the rough and tumble world of dressing my little man. Then it happens… I come across these little floral print dresses. So sweet and beautiful and charming and I know I’ll probably never get to buy them for my offspring. The truth is I’m not actually a girly girl anyway… I don’t wear floral prints much in my life, I’ve always been more Punky Brewster than pretty and prissy… but as a stylist I sure do appreciate the sweetness of little floral dresses… So, I pass on my top floral dress picks to the mom’s of all the sweet little girls out there and hope to see pictures… With the holidays fast approaching I know every little girl needs a holiday frock!!

RUNWAY REINVENTED… bambi gets high fashion

Designers find inspiration from many places… The designer’s own archives, street style, movies, art and often their own childhoods. Givenchy designer, Ricardo Tisci, often uses graphic prints in his designs which sets the fashion world on fire and sends fashion editors and celebrities alike clamoring to get his latest “it” piece. His growling rotteweiler print tops sold out immediately when they came out years ago and inspired countless knock offs. Well, for his Fall/Winter collection he sent out a new print inspired from his youth – a bambi print fused with the image of a lady. Once again celebrities and the fashion elite went nuts over the look and it has already been photographed on countless celebrities and been featured in every magazine that could get their hands on it. Furthermore, Kim Kardashian instagrammed a picture of a miniature version of the top which Tisci (longtime friend and collaborator of Kanye West) sent for baby Noth. So, once again we have the age old circle of fashion of who inspires who… Perhaps our children might be more stylish than we are – setting trends before they even become trends… Here are the Givenchy pieces that have hit stores and some options for our little ones to keep up with the trend (before they start setting the next ones)…

MOMMA PLEASE??? boho baby style

Boho chic has been popularized most recently by one of THE most fashionable mom’s in the world, Kate Moss. Its one part hippie, one part rock n’roll and one part gypsy. Its eclectic, referential, sweet, punk, classic, pretty and effortlessly cool. Furthermore, its a perfect look for our little ones. The bohemian look is so darling when miniaturized for our kids and the more you mix and match color and textures the sweeter it looks. A little floral dress with a faux suede vest and fringed boots, colorful corduroys with a chunky fair isle sweater – youthful yet pulled together it will always be one of my favorite looks. Here are some of my favorite boho pieces for our precious babies.

MOMMA PLEASE??? superheroes and princesses

Since the beginning of time kids have enjoyed playing dress up… and as long as there have been stories of superheroes and fairy princesses, these have been the go-to characters little boys and girls have loved to dress up as. We often laugh at how our son, Max, looks like a young Clark Kent (Superman curl and all) and this year I was hoping to dress him as superman for Halloween. Sadly, the costume I wanted didn’t come in his size… so we went with Spiderman. Thus, in honor of Halloween and all the kids out there getting dressed tonight as their childhood heroes, I wanted to feature some of my favorite superhero and princess themed clothing (added bonus – it’s a lot less of a battle getting them dressed in the morning when their outfit features one of their favorite characters!)

MOMMA LOVES… the skull motif (for us and them)

So, in honor of Halloween week, I wanted to do a post featuring one of my favorite trends (which has been around since the beginning of time) the skull motif. The punk movement made skulls rock and roll and over time they have become a mainstream style staple. This is largely in part to Alexander Mcqueen using the skull motif repeatedly in his high end designs. We can now find the skull print not only in the expensive market but at all price points for both ourselves and our mini-me’s. Everything for clothing to accessories to jewelry and even furnishings – skulls are here to stay and they’re a great way to inject a bit of edge to your look and a bit of humor into theirs. Here are some of my favorites:

MOMMA LOVES… the bat, cat and other animal prints (for us and them)

Inspired by Max’s trip to the pumpkin patch (in his halloween bat tee) I wanted to do a feature on animal prints. I’m not talking about leopard print – I’m talking about actual prints of animals. Miu Miu had a big hit a couple years back with a cat print which was featured on the runway on everything from jackets to shoes and now its a fun trend that is adorable on our little ones but equally chic for us to wear.

MOMMA PLEASE??? color blocking for the little ones

The color blocking trend has been around for ages now and is showing no signs of going anywhere. Those amazing bold pops of colors sometimes tonal, sometimes completely contrasting, are so illuminating and eye catching. Of course, eye catching goes a long way since we’re keeping an eye on our little ones at all times, and the fact that color looks so darn cute on them makes this trend a must have for every kid’s wardrobe. One part high fashion, one part Punky Brewster and 100% adorable here are some my favorite colorful pieces:

MOMMA, PLEASE??? the star print

Our little ones are our shining stars. I would give him a million gold stars for cuteness if I could, so I enjoy dressing him in star prints so that I can remind him that he is my gold star. Star prints have been such a major trend for years, from the runway to the red carpet to our own wardrobes as well as our kid’s wardrobes. Its cute yet some how elegant and just as wearable for our little boys as well as for our little girls. Here are some of my favorites:
