Wisteria hung low, drifting in and out of shadows.
Lavender wisps flickering through warm breezes,
the village was alive and blossoming.
Cascading shades of green trickled over stonewalls,
under wrought iron gates and into the distant horizon.

The children emerged, slowly at first,
feet tapping along worn cobblestone streets.
Muffled sounds quickly became loud drums
marching through pale city scenes.
Tapping turned to twirls and soon they were emerged in dancing.

Their golden colored hair, dusted in sunlight,
floated above shoulders and tall brick barriers.
Laugher wrapped around in circles, endless,
like a freshly bound bouquet of flowers.

They were young and free,
full of sweet wanderlust and dreams.
Youth encompassed them,
and the world was in their hands.

Craftykins // DIY Flower Crown

By Liz Jacob, Copy Editor Leave a Comment

Easter is right around the corner and we are doing a few last minute preparations. A good cleaning of the house, baking of treats, gathering goodies for the baskets and, of course, laying out the Easter outfits. The season of spring calls for soft colors, pastels and lots of flowers so I decided to add this element of nature into our Easter style.

Follow the simple steps below to make your own flower crown for Easter or any occasion!

flower crown 2

You will Need:
faux flowers or fresh (I used nice faux flowers for this crown)
green florist tape
green or natural florist wire
scissors or shears
wire cutters

STEP 1: Gather your supplies! Cut flowers from the stems, leaving about an inch or so to work with.

STEP 2: Take your floral wire and make a circle shaping it to fit your head. I used two wires. Wrap the extra wire around to make a strong circle base.

STEP 3: Begin to arrange your flowers. Use the green florist tape to secure the flowers in place. You can either set out the flowers how you would like them arranged or just work as you go.

STEP 4: Continue taping and wrapping the flowers in place. Get creative and remember, there is no wrong way to arrange the flowers.

STEP 6: Once you are happy with your crown double check that all the flowers are securely taped in place and then you’re done! This delicate flower crown also makes a cute decoration to hang or place on a bed post. Happy wearing!

Today we are sharing a petitePARADE spotlight: Mischka Aoki.

Bold and elegant, bright and striking. These shining stars walked the runway with an attitude set for spring and summer. The beauty and structure of these fine luxury pieces quickly grasped all eyes and captivated the room’s attention. I like to think these stunning photographs speak for themselves and showcase the exclusive and exceptional craftsmanship placed into each piece of clothing.

Designed for the fashionista in mind, Mischka Aoki delivers luxury fashion for children ranging from 1 – 12 years olds. Their emphasis is creating a range that is limited and exclusive – unlike anything you have seen before.

Mischka Aoki, an Australian label, is quickly becoming known around the globe for their stand out, show stopper pieces, unique designs and luxurious fabrics.

In just a few short years, they have proven themselves as an international luxury brand for children and can be found at high end boutiques and department stores around the world including HARRODS, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges & Co, Bergdorf Goodman and many more.

A state of blue emerges slowly into spring. Soft pastels meet slate grays that welcome cool creams and off whites. Color combinations for the classic lover and hints of playful hues for the child dwelling inside.

A Song for a Perfect Summer. SS ’14. 

Come Spring, Come Summer! The moment I came across this little Chillies dress (pictured above), I knew I had to find out more about the Portugal based company, Wolf and Rita. This line is completely versatile, making each piece perfect for a fancy party or a barefoot day at the beach. With the greatest attention to detail and the use of amazing fabrics, Wolf and Rita is definitely on my radar.

The entire line makes me want to throw a fiesta in my backyard!  I can picture it now- watermelon, children running wild, birds chirping, and an abundance of laughter! Oh come summer, and come Wolf and Rita!

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

George Gershwin.

 

Check out their website for local stores. If in the Unites States, you can find Wolf and Rita at La-di-da. In the UK, check them out at Cissy Wears or 1965 Kids.

If you knew my family, you would know that we are movers and we are shakers. We are dancers, runners and jumpers. On most days there is always music drifting throughout our home, which means hips are swaying and toes are tapping. The conclusion? We live in comfy clothing to keep up with our on-the-go lifestyle.

We have long been a fan of Garnder and the Gang, a childrens clothing ling in Singapore. It is a new childrens clothing line by Swedish Graphic Designer Mrs K – Kristin Nystrom. The garments are all 100% cotton, printed with silkscreen printing, and best of all, safe for the children with a naturally whimsical look.

Just ask Jess and Josh, the clothes are comfy, easy to wear and and fashionable, which makes mom and kids happy!

Make sure to check these guys out!

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!
