PJS for Your Little Bunnies

Festive pajamas are one of my favorite ways to celebrate holidays with my little ones {I figure I will enjoy it while they are still young enough}. It is sweet and simple, but truly brings so much joy and excitement. For Easter the past few years I have put my children in the classic gingham Petite Plume PJs as there is truly nothing more darling than their matching bunny eye masks. This year I ordered the yellow gingham sets for the boys {which also comes in a short version}, the matching nightgown for Grace and complete the look with the yellow bunny eye masks. But, I also cannot get enough of the pink and blue sets, which they have worn in year's past. 

 

If you are looking for some other Easter pajamas more suitable for babies, these are darling {here is the boy version}. Or if you are looking for something a little more affordable these are my absolute favorite amazon find. Hop to it!

Classic Boys Outfiting Ideas

I have truly always had such fun dressing my boys and some of the most frequent questions I get are around classic boys clothing pieces. Thus, I thought I would put together a list that includes the key staples I keep stocked in my boys' wardrobes. While some of these pieces may be slightly more of an investment, they are truly worth it as your boys will wear them over and over again. They will look pulled together without you having to try! Here are a few of my favorite pieces to keep your boys (2 and over) cute, classic and comfortable.... 

 

 

  POLO SHIRTS - Lacoste are at the top of my list, particularly in Navy

STRIPED LONG SLEEVE TOPS - I live for these from Saint James 
SWEATPANTS - These from H&M and these from Zara have the best fit 
SHORTS - I love a shorter short with an elastic waistband and the best are Cadets and Beaufort Bonnet CASHMERE SWEATER - You can never have too many Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Sweaters - don't fret about getting them dirty, seriously!  
OUTERWEAR - The perfect finishing touch - my favorites are this Barn Jacket & this Patagonia Vest THE BLUE BLAZER - Nothing more fitting for any special occasion and truly no one does it better than Ralph Lauren  
PAJAMAS - These are both classic & comfortable 
SHOES - Can't go wrong with New Balance Sneakers, Cienta Slip Ons, or Supergas

Can't Get Enough of Cadets

One of the most frequent questions I get about my oldest son, Beau's wardrobe is where I find his short shorts. I used to have to go searching high and low for the perfect pair with an elastic waist fit and always size down a few sizes to make them look as I wanted. But now, the search for the perfect short is over! Given my love of little boys in short shorts, I was absolutely delighted when I discovered the new brand, Cadets, launched by two mothers (with 6 little boys between them!). The shorts fit perfectly and most importantly are extremely comfortable (Beau approves of them too!). These mamas thought of everything with impeccable details like contrast piping and a terry lined elastic waistband for extra comfort. Stock up on one in every color (all of which are darling!)

Flower Girl Finds

I am truly so sad and sorry for all the couples who have had to cancel or postpone their weddings given the global pandemic... but, I know in the future we will be able to celebrate love again. I came across this photo of one of my favorite flower girl looks and it reminded me how often I am asked for suggestions on flower girl dresses. I absolutely adore white paired with hints of blue and thus I have compiled some truly darling dresses that have just that  ... 

 this dress is an affordable alternative for the look above 
this one is perfectly classic with hand smocking & a ruffle collar     the swiss dot fabric and sleeves on this dress make it timeless  
... and this dress is quite the splurge but might be the icing on the cake. practically perfect

Masion Me

Maisonette is truly the most impeccably curated one stop shop for all things children related. I adore the incredible range of clothing brands they carry and was truly excited when they developed their own in-house brand, Maison Me, which is made up of everyday elevated essentials. The price is right, the design is darling, and quality is fantastic. Their dresses (like this, this, and this) have always been my favorite pieces in the line, but I also adore these perfectly cool sweatshirts and sweatpants for boys.

As you truly all know well by now, minnow is without a doubt my favorite children's swimwear brand. Each season they continue to delight me with their irresistible prints and styling. My children have built up quite a collection of their swim, yet I still can't manage to resist buying new swimwear from minnow each season. They just launched their Spring Collection and I think it truly may be one of my favorites yet. Inspired by a whimsical garden, the prints, color palette, and silhouettes are absolutely dreamy. Dive in, darlings!

I adore all babies in white and thus this set might be my favorite, but I also cannot resist this darling cashmere set.

I am a little late to the game on this darling collaboration that came out earlier Summer between two iconic French brands I absolutely adore, Sezane and Bonton. But, there are still a few pieces left like these adorable Liberty printed bikini bottoms that have me dreaming of a Summer escape in the South of France. J'adore!

The Striped Sheep

Lately, I am loving this line of mommy & mini striped tees, The Striped Sheep. Started by a mom who was looking for ways to match with her son (which is hard to find!) she set out to create these timeless tees that are undeniably chic. I personally love "the Pablo" for me and all my littles. Truly a wardrobe staple everyone could use in their closet!

Le Cub for Le Lion

I have long adored Le Lion's whimsical personalized knits and was absolutely delighted when they released their first run of children's product exclusively with Maisonette. These personalized sweaters are the perfectly chic way to do a mommy + mini moment and would be the ultimate Mother's Day gift. I am most certainly thinking that my Grace and I need to get these in the peony color way.
