Matching sweet tulle with denim. Ripped jeans with edgy black. Vintage coolness with tartan print. 

Pairing with layers to carry us through the seasons.

We love classic kids fashion that can be worn over and over again. And never get bored. 

Yet don’t conform to what is expected. Create your twist and make your own trend.

Put together the outfit that makes your Babiekin happy!

That is because – YOU is you.

Luvkins // Seeing Stars

Credits | 01. Top | 02. Diaper Cover | 03. T-Shirt | 04. Pants | 05. Dress | 06. Romper | 07. Trainers

It’s 4th of July weekend, a celebration of American Independence that includes enjoying BBQ, family, friends, fireworks and hopefully some fun in the sun. The most patriotic way for your babiekins to celebrate Independence Day and to salute the American flag is to match it by wearing stars and stripes. Stars are a trend in apparel and accessories that are fashionable and classic enough to wear even after the 4th of July day. I have a round-up of some adorable fashions that will have you seeing stars and wanting to pledge allegiance to the American flag. Enjoy and have a wonderful and safe 4th of July weekend!

Featurekins // Keetan

By Donna Tweedale, Former Contributor Leave a Comment

With Summer gaining pace here, I’m having great fun shopping online for fun new pieces for my Babiekins’. Keetan has some great lines of new brands; from beautifully delicate vintage inspired pieces, to contemporary staples with injections of playful colour.

I met with Sarena to learn more about Keetan’s story.  A carefully curated space of true celebration of childhood and parenthood.

The story of how Keetan came to be is inspired! Sarena, tell us how this family affair was born in October?

My Mom opened her first children’s clothing shop in California in the 90’s, when my sister and I were in elementary school. She would take us on local buying trips, and we would spend a lot of time in the shop after school. I started doing the buying with her – properly when I was around twelve years old. Since then the shop changed locations and expanded, we began to travel further to buy. In October I returned to Los Angeles after finishing my Master’s, and we decided to start Keetan. Our online shop named after the littlest in our family, my five year old brother.

I love your family style, you’re so in tune with each other and clearly a close unit, with your mothers passion for the industry, did Keetan feel like the natural step for you?

Keetan was absolutely the obvious way for us to move forward. When we buy, we do not really have a strategy, we often just choose what we like; and I don’t think bricks and mortar can always handle the inventory. We have a lot of experience between us, and we all wanted a role in our growing family business. We agreed that a shift online was the natural way for us to expand. With Keetan, we have a great deal more flexibility with how much inventory we can carry, which we are all really excited about. My younger sister previously worked in womenswear and has now also come on board. It really has become a family affair!

Tell us more about your style, what is your go to outfit?

Right now, my go-to outfit is a plaid skirt, casual tee and sweater, and either boots and espadrilles! I should mention though that some of my best finds come from the shop. We have these amazing Stella McCartney kids embroidered denim shorts and I snagged the biggest pair for myself, I was so pleased they fit! One of my favourite designers that we carry is Morley. I can fit into their size 14 or 16, so whenever we write Morley, I always add a few pieces for myself!

…And what outfit do you love to see Keetan rock the most?

We have these Munster heather grey loose fit pants with paint splatters that he looks great in – those with a Little Eleven Paris tee. We sold the paint splatter pants so quickly – definitely a favourite this season! Keetan is super active and likes to roll around in drop crotch pants (either Munster or Nununu) a cotton tee and hoodie, with is Doc Martens.

You’ve referred to the fall as being your favourite time of year; What is it about the fall that you love so much?

October is our favourite month of the year because we love Halloween. We are all summer kids though, my sister and I grew up in Los Angeles and we cannot live without the sunshine and beach. We live very close to the coast and I think Keetan has a year-round summery aesthetic because it is what we are inspired by each day.

You visited Playtime Paris this year, How did you enjoy Europe? Do you find travelling a source of inspiration?

Playtime Paris is our favourite show, we came across some of our favourite designers there. We also attended Pitti Bimbo in Florence for the first time in January, which was quite a fun experience! Our entire family loves to travel and move around. My parents grew up in England, my Dad was born in India. My sister Simran and I have travelled all over the world together, we once spent an entire summer a few years back travelling through Columbia. Traveling is undoubtedly a huge inspiration for us. Many of the designers we carry are based outside of the United States. I also think that it is important to be conscious of where our products are produced. Brands like Mini Rodini are fantastic, because they place a lot of emphasis on ethical and sustainable production.

You have some stunning pieces, the addition of your illustrations you add to share them on your Instagram is such a fun idea!… You’ve introduced me to a few labels I need to learn more about. What it is that you look for when buying for Keetan?

When we buy, we buy what we like, and that pretty much encompasses our strategy! My Mom and I always buy together, we are useless without the other. When we do buy for our brick-and-mortar store, we carry a lot of casual, beach inspired clothing and cannot buy too much wool or warm weather clothing. California is experiencing a major drought and it has been so warm here all year round. We are really excited though to start diversifying our buying now that we have our online shop and can reach customers all over the world.

I’m sure you guy’s are in for such a great year… What does the future hold for Keetan?

We are so excited for this upcoming year! We are going to continue spending a great deal of time working on Keetan and spreading the word. We will be in Europe in July for Playtime and it will be Simran’s first time on an overseas buying trip!

Thank you so much Sarena. We can’t wait to see what this year brings for Keetan.

Travelkins // This is San Francisco

By Debbie Jovel, Contributor Leave a Comment

Our family will be moving from San Francisco to Germany soon, and since my son loves books, I decided to get him This is San Francisco by Miroslav Sasek, the Czech artist, illustrator and author of the wonderful ‘This is’ series of Children’s Books. I thought it would be fun for us to read the charming book together and explore all of the places in the book that capture his interest and imagination before moving.

So… Last weekend I packed my favorite Je t’aime tote (in my opinion, a perfect Valentine’s Day gift) with my son’s This is San Francisco book, his Fisher Price camera and several layers of clothes (for San Francisco’s microclimates): we rode a San Francisco Cable Car; saw the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge from the San Francisco Ferry Building; enjoyed views of the Golden Gate Bridge (the pride of the city) and the fleet of boats at Fisherman’s Wharf; explored the grounds around the Palace of Fine Arts; drove down Lombard Street – the World’s Crookedest; and, finally ended our day eating my son’s favorite food, french fries, at one of our favorite diners.

We are moving soon, but one thing is certain… We will be leaving our Hearts in San Francisco!

Featurekins // NUNUNU FW 2014 Expansion

By Leslie Schor, Senior Fashion Editor Leave a Comment

The fashion forward brand, NUNUNU, has expanded their collection to include sizes 0 to 14. Boasting leather, geometric prints, and the occasional pop of color, the minimalistic and comfortable brand, may now be enjoyed by babies, grade school children and tweens. Urban and deconstructed pieces in basic colors and occasional neon hues are easy to coordinate. Design savvy parents will immediately embrace the larger sizes as it allows tweens to stand out from the crowd in well constructed quality pieces.

Sleepykins // Jeanne’s room

By Isabel Leave a Comment

When I found out we were having a girl last year I immediately started thinking about her little room. She is almost 9 months now and I think I am finally happy with the result. I kept changing things around and adding pieces here and there. It is one of my favourite rooms of the house.

Copyright © 2019 · 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!
