Fashionkins // An Afternoon with Sapling Child

November 30, 2015 By Nicole Gonzalez, Contributor 1 Comment

On a rainy NYC afternoon, Lucas had a few of his adorable buddies over and we decided to play dress up with Sapling Child. Designed in Australia (and made in India from fair trade) from 100% organic cotton, I’m pretty smitten with the beautiful, whimsical designs and patterns for both boys and girls. Don’t get me started on the baby collection – the bubble suits…holy cuteness! They also recently launched a designer collaboration with the amazing celebrity mama Jaime King.

Sapling Child has pretty much nailed the perfect collection for the kiddos. Comfort with style. You can shop the entire collection here as well as follow along on Instagram for updates, new items, and seriously adorable kiddos.

Fashionkins // Getting Ready for School

School starts next week! We are prepping supplies and of course, outfits. These are a few of my favorite looks that Lucas will be wearing to school. What I love is that all these pieces can be mixed and matched (and still look great!) which is crucial when we are trying to rush out the house in the morning. And can we talk about that jacket? It's giving me all the happy feelings for brisk and beautiful chilly days. Happy September�everyone!�

Lil’ Stylekins // Fall Tones

Don’t tell anyone but this mama is so ready for Fall! The crisp weather, apple cider, back to school, and the fashion. The fashion! Gorgeous color tones that remind me of the changing leaves paired with cozy knits and soft fabrics – swoon! Feather Drum has hit the Fall nail on the head with their gorgeous collections. Give me all the deep, rich colors. Fall perfection.

Lil’ Stylekins // La Coqueta

July 6, 2015 By Nicole Gonzalez, Contributor 1 Comment

I recently discovered La Coqueta – a beautiful children’s brand with items ranging from leather shoes to timeless knits. Each piece is made in Spain and when you see the items in person, you can instantly tell (and feel) that you are dressing your child in something extremely special. What I love most is the quality and just how classic the designs are – perfect for passing on to your younger children (and even holding onto for future grand babies – eek!). You can shop the entire collection here..and with my little girl on the way I have been eyeing almost every piece in their baby section. Simply gorgeous!

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the idea of families coming together to celebrate our great nation’s independence. If you really think about it, it’s a pretty big deal! Not to mention the distinct aromas of BBQ and fireworks. It’s one of the only holidays in our family, where everyone gets into the spirit and wears red, white, and blue. I was definitely inspired this year by the laid back style of the 70’s. The iconic Americana feel of that era reminds me of a classic time in our history and makes for a perfect fourth of July outfit for boys and girls!

Lil’Stylekins//Little Dancer

One of Franca’s favourite things to do is dance and her weekly Ballet lessons are a highlight. Im not too sure if she’ll ever amount to the Royal Ballet as she’s a little bit more of a hip wiggler than a ballerina, but Im sure she will find her calling.

I love finding ballet outfits for her that are different from the norm; and she certainly stands out in her class each week. We were lucky enough to have been able to use a friend’s Barre (an adult exercise) studio in Auckland for the shoot, so no excuses, Mums, you can learn all the correct lingo. And get fit at the same time with the popularity of these classes growing worldwide!

Lil’Stylekins // Jaden & Zaire

Jaden and Zaire are showing us how to rock some funky looks in the city and we are loving their swag. This season, we are obsessed with solid color shell top sneaker in bright hues. Pleated trousers are a must have for any little hipster. Adding a scarf or patterned tunic adds interest to any outfit.

Lil’Stylekins // Moon Fries Romper

We’re off to the racetrack! Just kidding, Carter barely tops 3-kilometres an hour. But that doesn’t stop us from imagining such! Little man is rocking the newest romper from Moon Fries. Made from extremely soft and breezy bamboo cotton with a black and white checkered trim, getting this thing on and off him is so quick; he should end up on the winner’s podium every time!
