Sizzling Style

contributor and photographer: Grace Spath | clothing: Chasing Windmills Kids, Indi Scout + Eden and Etta | model: Scarlet Spath

When planning our trip to Iceland I knew I needed to keep my kids warm and still look good for the crazy load of photos! Luckily, I found Chasing Windmills Kids, a company that makes merino wool (not so) basics. The mustard patched long johns worked perfectly with Iceland’s geography. Pair the shirt with bright rainbow fringe leggings from Indi Scout as well as a couple selected hand knitted items and I have a child that perfectly matches the wonderful geo-thermal mud pits of Iceland. Thankfully she smells a bit better than they did though!

Real kids, real trends! A few weeks back, we invited you to submit your kids fashion snaps to gina@babiekinsmag.com, to be featured in the real, wild childhood series we’re bringing back. Keep the photos coming — there’s something so alive about these images.

Today’s little star is Scout Larson, better known as @hello.scout. Isn’t she something?

Thank you, Scout’s mama, for sharing your little’s impeccable style with us.

Get Featured on Babiekins: Real kids, real trends!

Real kids, real trends

Babiekins is all about real, wild, childhood and authentic living. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. (Say it louder for the people in the back!)

If you’re a long-time reader, you remember a fun weekly series called LIL’ STYLEKINS, when we used to feature real style from real kids. Well, hold your horses because WE ARE BRINGING LIL’ STYLEKINS BACK! Each week, we’ll put the spotlight on one of our adorable readers, and show you how one little trendsetter has styled a week’s worth of outfits from his or her closet. And for this series, real childhood reigns. No headshots, no professional photoshoots, no makeup, no editorials.

Real kids, real trends, real fun.

How to get featured on Babiekins

Want to share your little’s looks with Babiekins blog readers? Here’s how! Email the following information to gina@babiekinsmag.com

Your child’s FIRST NAME and AGE
Your LOCATION (city, state, country)
PHOTOS of your child in 5-7 different outfits

Here are a few more important things to know to increase your likelihood of being chosen.

Photos you submit…

…should be aesthetically pleasing and inspiring, but should not be professional model photos
…should show the entire outfit, not just the child’s face
…should be taken at the child’s level, rather than top-down, looking down at the child.
..should have a bright, fun, but uncluttered background
…should not include makeup
…should not be retouched or excessively edited or filtered
…should incorporate authentic expressions (no duck face!)
…should not be square.
…should not have appeared on or in any other children’s fashion magazine or blog
…should not contain words, text, or doodles.
…should consist of one single picture, i.e., no collages
…should be at least 700 pixels wide.
…should not be extremely large files — our servers start to complain and spit the files back out! : (

Have multiple kiddos? You can either combine them into a single LIL’ STYLEKINS submission, or you can give them each their own spotlight — your choice.

Let’s celebrate real, wild, authentic childhood!

Hello Lily Bleu! Hello Cuteness! Is it weird that I, yes I, a 30 year old woman, am jealous of a 4 year old’s style? I hope not, because here I sit, gawking over every single picture of her. Her precious style just happens to match her precious personality. Here is a little interview below. Oh, and check out gorgeous mom, Ashley, and adorable little brother, Denver, in the last picture.

What is your favorite song? “Olaf and his summer song.”
How old is your mom? “Sixteen five one hundred.”
What do you want to be when you grow up? “Ummmmmm, I wanna be a doctor princess.”
What is love? “Love is God and family because God loves you more than anything.”
What does daddy do for for work? “He, um, his job is playing golf or something.”

Lil’Stylekins // Jeanne’s closet I

June 2, 2014 By Isabel Leave a Comment

How much fun it is to dress up your kids! When we found out we were going to have a girl I knew I wouldn’t be the mom who dressed her girl only in pink. I must admit, a hint of pink is sometimes in order, but I tend to buy Jeanne more black, white and grey pieces. Edgy, but still very cute.

Leggings – Petits coquins // Socks – Happy Socks

Dress – Tuss // Socks – Happy Socks // Moccs – Freshly Picked // Chair – Eames replica

Shirt – Whiste and Flute // Leggings – Lindex

Romper – Filemonkids // Sandals – Saltwater Sandals
