Fashionkins // Easter Style: The Quirky Remix

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

Guest post by Jill Rothstein & Josh Rothstein.

A huge trend happening right now are matching tops and bottoms. This cheerful floral top and matching pants by Aristocrats Kids makes for the perfect springtime outfit. Oxford shoes by H&M keep it cool and comfortable. Samantha needed some more sparkle. These Dolly by Petit Tom lavender shorts with a huge gold bow were perfect with this Miguel Vieira Junior boy inspired button down. There is still a slight nip in the air in spring, so these Dolly pearl embellished knee high socks will keep her legs warm. Now, let’s talk about Zachariah’s suit. Mr. Uky designed this hounds tooth, 70’s inspired red and black vest and matching wide leg pant. Super on trend this season and beyond adorable.

Samantha’s Tutu du Monde pink tulle skirt and Little Miss Galia top with bows down the back begged for Anais and I pink sparkly shoes and a mini pink top hat. For the boys, this short suit by Appaman with this 1970’s inspired Mr. Uky button down and a pair of palm tree printed sneakers by Zara are cute and sophisticated.

The gorgeous Mischka Aoki dress worn by Lola, is the epitome of a high fashion spring dress. Its bright yellow color, floral print and layers of tulle have us all dreaming of family portraits on the lawn and parties with friends and family.

Lola’s Aristocrat Kids nature print dress is perfect for the holidays this spring. And a bunny eared-veiled-headband by Milk N Soda? Yes, please! The look is finished off with her black buckled patent leather bluchers from Zara. Samantha couldn’t be cuter in this Anais and I baby blue tulle dress accented with a pop of color in the red beaded H&M Necklace and Tutu du Monde feather headpiece. Her boho Zara booties keep the dress cool and casual.

Overall, the trends for the spring holidays reflect everything we envision when we think “spring.” Florals, bright, happy colors and elements of nature. And of course, anything that makes our little one’s look fresh and fly!

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
