Lots of little girls love pink.  It makes sense — it can be traditional, it can be soft, or you can brighten it up and it can be fun and bright and edgy.  Then there are some girls who don’t like pink for whatever reason — some march to the tune of their own drum, some want to wear something no one else is wearing, and others just like being stubborn (but it’s cute, we know!)

Le Big has great patterns, bright sweaters and fun colorblocking in its Spring 16 line, and these girls’ outfits are great for play or dress up!

You may not always think about sunglasses for your kids, but did you know that it’s MORE important kids wear sunglasses than adults?  Eye health is a concern for everyone, but growing eyes are more vulnerable to damage from the sun than adult eyes.

LeBig is well known for their accessories, and this season’s sunglasses are both stylish AND protect your hip girl’s eyes!  We love the array of bright colors, and the aviator shape is a guaranteed hit.

It’s probably still cold where you are (it’s certainly cold here!) but spring fashions are already showing up in stores.  Animals will never go out of style for kids, but what changes every year is which animal everyone wants to see. While it had its day in womenswear a few seasons ago, owls are now being reimagined in clean shapes and bright colors. This owl tee from Le Queue de Chat captures imaginations of kids with the super-hero mask, and moms can’t believe how soft the organic fabric is.

Introducing Mint Labels

Inspiration comes from so many places — books, art, music, nature, people.  We find it in kids.  We’re not alone, either. Every parent understands the wonder in seeing something through the eyes of a child again, or marvels at where their new thoughts and opinions come from. Where did their sense of humor come from, or the utter seriousness? How are they so messy (or so neat) when you are the opposite?  Why are they picky, or when did they start to eat anything put in front of them? Why does she only wear dresses? Why does he insist on wearing his favorite sweatshirt every day?

Kids inspire us. The way they play, the way they explore. The joy expressed when they learn something new, the look on their faces when they find something they love.  That’s what drives us to search the world for the clothing brands that showcase kids, that inspire them and let them showcase their unique personalities.
