Girl Gang with Lola and The Boys

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief Leave a Comment

Throwing it back to days that were spent in the sunshine and with friends. What is better than planning all the things with your girl gang?  We recently shot some of the cutest girls in Houston as we explored the local pier, ate ice cream, went rollerskating and played with bubbles.

A fun outting with the besties call for some fun clothing  too. We love these outfits provided by Lola and the Boys that are fun, colorful and create a statement. Who else needs that “Good Vibes” jean jacket? Check out Lola and the Boys for some fun accessories also. They have the most adorable hats, necklaces and accessories.

Wishing you could get some of this in your size? You can! Check out their women’s collection HERE.

About This Editorial:

We shot this editorial in the gallery space of the Seattle design firm Civilization. They had an installation by acclaimed Japanese designer Na Kim and we felt it was the perfect backdrop to feature some of our favorite summer looks.

Featurekins // With Style and Grace

We are so excited to be talking to Grace from Indi Scout – a fun and whimsical kids brand based out of San Diego, California. We have known Grace for a few years now and always get so excited for their collection releases!

We talked to Grace about her brand, her family and how she does it all.

{Q} Grace, you grew up in Alabama and now live in San Diego. How has the change of pace and (possibly lifestyle) effected your creativity or inspired it?
{A} It really is 2 different cultures in many ways. But for me personally, I have become constantly outside- hiking, camping, traveling -since moving here. This has made me more eco-conscious, as well as given me a more nature/outdoors inspired design aesthetic.

{Q} Since you work from home, have three children and make beautiful clothing — we have to ask… where do you get all the time and how do you balance life as a mom, wife, designer?
{A} Hah ! Good question, I’m still figuring that out myself! This past year I hired my first seamstress to help fulfill wholesale orders. This has saved me! I am able to take the time to really be with my family mentally and physically, as well as have time to work on new designs. I think I could even use one more seamstress in the San Diego area!😉

{Q} Where did you learn to sew and is it something your oldest is interested in?
{A} I am mostly self taught. I did home-ec in middle school. My mother taught me some, and I did a couple fashion classes in college. It really came from just jumping in and being hands on and figuring it out as I went. My oldest daughter is 5 and she LOVES to sew. She hand sews as well as uses the machine, I couldn’t ask for a better mini-me.

{Q} Do your children ever give you fashion advice?
{A} My oldest daughter has the best style out of anyone I know. She has been dressing herself since she was 2 and is so awesome. She definitely has her own style, but it’s not all crazy, the color schemes and concepts are totally there. So, though she doesn’t verbally give me a lot of advice, she is totally still an inspiration.

{Q} Tell us what growing up in Alabama was like? How is raising your children in San Diego different from that?
{A} I come from a DIY family through and through. If we can do it ourselves we are going to, and if we can get the materials for free or from the second hand store, we are all in. This has always been the case and it has really created who I am today. San Diego is very different. I feel like here people mostly think, ‘if I can buy it or pay someone else to do it why would I do it myself?’ Of course there are exceptions and both sides have good and bad parts, but I am striving to teach my children how to do things for themselves.

{Q} What is the most difficult part of what you are doing? Any advice for other mom’s trying to run a business and still putting their family first?
{A} The most difficult part is by far the great juggling act. The best advice I have is something I have just learned and am still learning- don’t try to do it all yourself! As I mentioned in the last question, it is very much my nature to want to do everything myself, but it’s not always practical. By stepping back and letting others help and then refocusing, I am able to get so much more done and be less stressed and happier overall.

{Q} What did you want to be when you were a little girl?
{A} When I was a little girl I think the only thing I knew for sure was I wanted to be a mother, and it is all I hoped it would be and more.

{Q} Tell us your New Years resolution
{A} Take time to center myself each day.

{Q} What are 3 odd things in your purse / bag right now?
{A} Pruners, stacks of magnets, and the beads of a broken necklace #momlife

{Q} Finish this sentence
{A} I never thought I would be – a Californian. Now I don’t think I could be anything else.

{Q} In 2018, what do you hope to achieve?
{A} I hope to get out new products and blog more since I have taken some time off with my new baby.

The Wish Tree by Kyo Maclear and illustrated by Chris Turnham has quickly become a family favorite. A story about Charles, a young boy that wants to find a wishing tree. With his trusty companion Boggan, they head out together on a journey to find the wishing tree and along the way learn a couple lessons on helping others.

Here is a little sneak peek into our interview with author Kyo Maclear.

{Q} “The Wish Tree” encourages exploration, giving, and celebrating the unexpected. As you look toward future books, what are the main messages you desire to relate to young readers through storytelling?

{A} What I hope to relate is less an overt message than a general sensibility. I think we’re living in a fairly disconnected time (despite our relentless digital connectivity) and I’d like to model a sense of connection and care–care for art, for story, care for unbalanced worlds, for non-human life, care for humor and community, for passion and creativity—and, always, care and openness in the face of the unexpected.

You can read the rest of the interview in Babiekins Print Issue 9!

For a limited time, get a free signed print and card set by illustrator Chris Turnham when you buy a copy through Chronicle Books!

We love toys! We love BEAUTIFUL toys, toys that are thoughtfully made and that are just as beautiful sitting on the shelf as in the hand of a child.

Rose & Rex is a great resource for any family looking for elegantly designed toys that promote imaginative play.

We love this Machi building set that you can find here. This set invites kiddos to imagine their own little city! Use chalk to write on the black wood pieces (we made clouds) and have your car vroom through the city!

Copyright © 2021 · 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!
