A Trendsetting Magazine & Online Community For The Trendsetting Child + Parent
Even down here in Texas, winters can turn gray, gloomy, and cold for long spells. Most of this February has passed beneath leaden skies, so when the sunshine finally came out we went to a nearby amusement park to enjoy the beautiful day.
However, without the rain there would never be rainbows.

Valentine’s Day means different things to different ages.
For adults, Valentine’s Day can mean many things. For some, there is romance, for others, an obligatory date, and for still others a lonely holiday. But for children there is only magic: hearts, the innocuous sharing of cards in classes, and chocolate! This year, before the holiday, my girls fashionably gathered with a cousin and a friend to capture some of the innocence and fun of a childhood Valentine’s Day. XO

“Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother’s house we go.” A Merry Mix explores the nostalgic awkwardness of having grandparents chose your clothing during the winter holidays. Shot in New York City where anything goes, the creative team behind this editorial can’t get enough of this merry mix of textures.

Behind the scenes:
Oh, so cozy! We love these soft cuddly kids’ styles for napping, lounging and good old-fashioned playing. Especially with the earlier sunsets and the colder nights (brrr!) we’re really treasuring warm weekends in. What’s your favorite way to spend time together as you treasure these happy golden years?

We have our friends from Wonderfully Made Clothing Co back on the @babiekinsmag blog ! We are so excited to share their latest fall fashion trends AND celebrate the month of October which is #downsyndromeawarenessmonth . We love Wonderfully Made Clothing Co because of their focus on inclusion in the fashion industry. We talked with Andrea Edmonds , founder of @wonderfully_clothingco about why inclusive sizing is so important to our kids today.
“I started Wonderfully Made Clothing Co. because of my daughter’s clothing challenges. Ruthie began sizing out of our favorite lines at an early age. She has #Downsyndrome and #hypothyroidism. She is an active young lady who swims year round, exercises in a physical therapy wellness program, and has a good nutrition plan, but her weight is still a struggle. Because of our challenge, I saw that there was a need for true inclusive sizing, which would accommodate all of our girls. Many girls need just a little more from their clothing as they grow and change. We create our own designs and patterns in sizes 8-18 so that all girls can be confident and comfortable in their clothing. Our fit is a little more generous so many girls actually find that they need to size down to get the perfect fit. Our designs combined with high quality fabrics help to eliminate the need to add multiple layers such as a bra and a tank under their clothing. Our pieces fall just at the right places to help solve this problem and make girls feel beautiful and confident inside and out.” See + Hear more from Andrea of Wonderfully Made Clothing Co HERE in this video : Wonderfully Made Clothing Co VIDEOThere is so much to love about a clothing line that fits all shapes and sizes! We also love that their new fall line is functional, fun and comfortable! We love the moody fall colors and the choice of fabric for this line. These Fall pieces also transition easily between both casual and dressier occasions. This is great for the upcoming Holiday Season !
