Sneaking Around…
With the numerous options for children’s footwear, I seldom dress my girls in sneakers. In the winter, they wear boots. For summer they are in flip flops and sandals. With ballet flats in between.
However, I will make an exception when there is a sneaker that’s absolutely slaays is released. Well, I’m sure you seen variations of Converse’s Chuck Taylor’s sneakers, but the xxhi’s are killers!!! Soooooo, I just had to grab a pair for London. See them, AND her new big girl’s hairstyle (Courtesy of Tamika Johnson of Salon Lamaj) below…

London Blazes A Royal Blue Trail…
Ok, so London Tyler is my 9 year old, and her recent growth spurt has hurled us into a tremendous styling situation. The issue is that she now wears adult sized clothing and shoes, but designers are creating clothes that are far too provocative, and thus inappropriate for my baby to wear. In fact, I often find myself taking pieces from several different stores and piecing them together into looks that are more suitable for London’s age.
For example, this week we were out shopping and she had to have this royal blue asymmetric blazer from Macys. What she didn’t know, was that blazer was actually one half of a suit, that Rampage designed and styled with a mini-skirt, paired with a laced camisole. I know you’re screaming: Soo Flyy, PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN’T BUY THAT FOR LONDON!!! And rightfully so, that is definitely way inappropriate for a 9 year old to wear. However, I DID purchase the jacket!
Rampage 3/4 Sleeve Cropped Double Breasted Blazer $32.99 (macys.com)
We tried on the jacket and purchased the one that fit perfectly. Since, it is both cropped and asymmetric, she will be pairing it with a white scoop neck tee-shirt, red skinny jeans and a pair of leopard ballet flats with a red flower on top! For accessories, we went with little star and moon studs, a couple of “little girl” bangles and a red sequined head band.
Option #2…
She can also pair this same royal blue jacket with a graphic tee, and black (faux) leather skinny jeans, and a funky pair of Dr. Martens! Her accessories will mirror the ones listed in the 1st look, but we will change up the colors.
London Jet Sets With Diggy
As you know, the Diggy Simmons concert came to town, on this past Sunday. That said, I was hired to style 11 year London Wood, and while pulling items for her, I thought it would be cool to share with you a few pics!!!
My approach to styling children is simple: More Is More!!!

Remember our discussion last week on Red Skinny’s??? Weelll, here is yet another stylish option!

Ride. The Trend.
I think the last time I actually saw a pair of the true riding boot as a trend, I was 9 years old and in the 4th grade. The designer was Etienne Aigner and I remember them coming in such vivid colors as electric blue, bright red, forest green, mustard yellow, and of course, black and brown. Remember those???
That said, I love to see a little lady in a flyy boot once winter hits, so I thought it would be ultra cool and SooFlyy to add a modern pair of the original trend to your child’s current wardrobe. They will pair well with the items I’ve listed in the previous weeks. See Faux Fur All, aTenTion and Sage’s Swagg for more info…
EquiStar Childs All Weather Field Boot $71.95 (Sizes 2-7 slim & 2-7 Regular)
Surprisingly enough, I found these little trendsetters on an actual equestrian site: www.theequestraincorner.com
Faux Fur All…
My formula for dressing children is very simple: place them in fashions that fit, wash well, and are extraordinarily stylish. Gone are the days where we just mix primary colored tops and bottoms together and send the kids out to school. Our little ones are now pretty much dressed like mini-adults…and I love it! My children look forward to getting dressed each morning and both of them are beginning to request that I purchase certain items to add that special flair to their wardrobes.
Now, they’ve always worn faux fur coats each winter, but now they are wearing faux fur vests to school paired with little skinny jeans and leggings, ballet slippers and sherpa boots. I must say that I love the luxurious feel these little vests bring to the basic jeans and tee-shirt aesthetic.
People always wonder where I find these little pieces of flyy, so I thought I’d share a few with you…
