Editorial: Americana

This editorial flat is the perfect inspiration for the rustic Americana theme. No one does it better than Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. Classic looks of soft denim and slouchy leather really tie the theme together. You should be able to hear the horses when you look at this flat. The photoshoot would take place in a wide open range, with hay bales and old, wooden fences. Maybe even a horse or two in the background. 

Look 1

This look gives the perfect touch of Americana to any little girl. The denim dress (Nordstrom, $58) embodies the western, carefree look, while the cable knit stockings (Kohl's, $14) give it a feminine feel. The brown boots (Nordstrom, $49) and infinity scarf (Nordstrom, $14) give essential touches to create that comfy, meet-me-in-the-stable vibe.

Look 2

This boy's look is more affordable than the previous look, but is just as American! You can never go wrong with a classic flannel and worn-look jeans (Old Navy, $18, $20). The leather jacket (Burlington, $40) and cowboy boot (Payless $30) give the edgy, badass cowboy his essential accessories.

Look 3

This look is my favorite. I can just see this little fashionista running around trying to help mom with the horses. The authentic riding pants (Bodenusa.com, $48) and Michael Kors riding boots (shoes.com, $49) make this look the real horse-riding deal, while the Ralph Lauren shirt (Macy's, $45) and fur vest (Old Navy, $23) give it that fashionable twist.

Baby POP!

In fashion, anything is possible. And I mean anything. That's why something as backwards as an adult trend originating from children's wear isn't too shocking. According to WGSN, an upcoming trend in women's and men's wear for S/S15 is the soft pop color palette. Very pale pastels and delicate colors and textures are used to create a wispy, soft look.

Doesn't it seem awfully.....babyish? Not in a bad way! These colors make me think of what newborns are wrapped in: baby blues and pinks. Turns out, the soft pop trend is already seen for S/S15 children's wear.

Doesn't it just seem so fitting? These colors epitomize children's wear, and are usually the only colors seen on most babies (who dresses their baby in head-to-toe black?) 

It's interesting to see how designers and trends get inspiration from everywhere, even if it's from simply looking down into your baby's crib!

Fun and Fun Girl

 Yellow has always been, and will continue to be a classic color for children's wear. It reflects their playful fun loving spirits! A perfect color for spring/summer as well, as it is super mellow. Full yellow outfits (something few adults could pull off as well as these little munchkins can) with flowing skirts and pretty accents such as flowers make the trend very girly and springtime appropriate.

Silhouette Trend!

We all know children's trends have to come from somewhere. And it's always from the big girls. A silhouette seen on spring 15 runways that would translate wonderfully into children's wear is the bell shape. It's that cutesy flare a little girl needs to feel like a mini fashionista. It's shape is something that could easily be played up for kids into garments like tutus. I know when I was younger I had numerous puffy slips my mom loved to force me into to wear underneath my dresses to flare them out. Maybe that'll make a comeback!

Babies R Fab!

Welcome to my beautiful blog about the fashion of babies! I am on a hunt to explore the world of children's wear, bringing you the most fashionable of today's kiddies. (We'll have to see how many parents will allow a stranger to photograph their precious children for a blog they've never heard of.)

Here we see little Henry on his first birthday party. He seems very on trend with his gingham shirt and cuffed jeans, complete with suspenders. What a hipster one year old, am I right? He was also very attached to his cowboy hat. Can you tell his party was western themed?
