Queen: Fashion Portraits of a Stylish and Powerful Tween

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

Shot in Miami, Florida, this fashion portrait series captures the beauty and strength of a girl in her tween years. She wears vintage pieces and pieces from AW18/19 collections that transition smoothly into the spring season. A vintage prairie dress is a great investment for any wardrobe as it can be styled in many different ways.

Sizzling Style

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!

In-between was shot in London with three girls who are at that age that sits between childhood and teenhood. The story was influenced by classic style for city life.

Travelkins // Dear Miami: Little Haiti

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

A few months ago I met with photographer, Celia D. Sanchez, and her daughter, Luna, in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. I was born and raised in Miami and adore the city for all of its vibrancy and diversity. I thought it would be a great idea to shoot some street style and fashion portraits against the colorful backdrops in Little Haiti. We never would have guessed that that one of the images would end up being chosen as the cover for the eighth print edition of Babiekins Magazine! (Click here to see the cover!)

As far as wardrobe styling, I usually like to keep things simple and wearable and avoid “over styled” looks. Classically tailored pieces with unexpected details in fun colors looked great with funky little embroidered pins and hats. I used a jeweled collar under a shirt collar, for a quirky touch. We all know that the Stan Smith shoe is having its “moment”, but so are jellies with socks! Of course, both are perfect for summer.

If you are ever in the Little Haiti neighborhood, make sure to visit the Little Haiti Cultural Center. You’ll find everything from a marketplace to performances. We had the honor of sitting in on an Afro-Caribbean dance class. The dancers danced feverishly to the sound of live drumming. It was amazing!
