It’s time to pack away the flip flops and try and find matched pairs of socks. Time to forgo tank tops for hoodies. Time to wear dresses that looks best with tights, not bare legs. Which means it’s time for a fall fashion round up of some fave pint-sized finds for of Fall 2010:
Small: Mochi Ga Ga may sound like something your babe would babble but it’s actually a casual line of made-and-designed-in-Canada clothes for kids zero to two. Think loungewear for little ones in seasonally appropriate berry reds and apple greens. We love their attention to detail like zip stops and convertible pants. We also appreciate the touch of spandex in their clothes as it means they hold their shape. And not only is the line perfect for layering, but it’s cute too. Our tiny tester never fails to get compliments when he dons his Bear Hoodie – and despite multiple washings the ears are still standing at attention: www.mochigaga.com
Medium: If your little girl has any fancy events on the horizon – think holiday soirees or weddings – then you’ll want to check out Canada’s own Sweet Chemise Princess. A mini line from the designers of Tension and Sweet Chemise, this lovely collection of dresses for girls from two to seven is all about clean lines, luxe fabrics, stylish detailing and quality construction. Alas, all that doesn’t come cheap, which is why these are definitely special occasion dresses. And some of their dresses come in your size too, so you can always snag the Play Princess for your daughter and the Lena for yourself. They’re just different enough that only you’ll know you’re matchy matchy: www.sweetchemiseprincess.com
Large: One of our deciding factors when picking clothes for our kids is how soft and cosy they are but Soft Clothing takes things to a whole new level. Their line of clothes are designed not just for kids from three to twelve who chafe at anything itchy and scratchy but also kids with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and tactile defensiveness/sensitivity as well. Their combed cotton clothes have flat seams and seamless construction, wide collars, covered elastic waistbands and they’re stylish too, offering everything from seamless socks to French terry “jeans”. Oh and the fit is generous so keep that in mind as their clothes are only available online in Canada: www.softclothing.net
