Luella, or NuNu, as she calls herself, is a true New Yorker. At only 2 years old, her favorite song is Moon River (sung by Audrey Hepburn only- lol) which she knows by heart and sings all the time!

You can find her dancing to the Delacorte Clock in the Central Park Zoo, climbing the Alice in Wonderland Statue and watching the sailboats “race.” When it’s cold, the Natural History Museum or the Children’s Art Museum is her go to spot.

While recently spending some time in LA, her “things” are going to the Griffith Park Pony Rides and painting in the kids room at the LACMA. 

She’s obsessed with kiwis and pineapple ice lollies and as of late, calls Mommy, “Babe”, thanks to her Father. We love a girl with style and sass!

James is one lucky kid! Not only does he have an awesome golden retriever doggy named Lola, but he has a cool mom who knows how to dress him! Going against “traditional” boy style, she takes any opportunity to add some uniqueness and pizazz to his outfits. In particular, she loves the color purple and creating lots of layers. She makes sure to keep his clothes comfy though, as James is on the move and can’t be slowed down!

And we can’t wait to see how Mom dresses James’ new baby brother….

Catch him while you can! Tristan kicked off fall with a trip to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect one to become his jack-o-lantern. But now that Christmas is here, he has been busy decorating his tree and of course writing a letter to Santa. And as the best big brother to his sister, Riley, he wrote one on her behalf too. He can certainly expect some goodies in his stocking this year!

Girl power! Mia and Alexa are super girls! At only 21 months, they love anything frilly and sparkly! While, Mom loves to dress them in coordinating outfits, she must be sure to include lots of purple…Their favorite color! We love their layers and coordinating headbands too!

We are so happy to introduce our first ever Mommy Post with Elizabeth Fassel and her darling daughter, Lilah, age 18 months. We were taken back by Lilah’s loving focus on her mommy’s beautiful smile and Elizabeth’s fresh-faced glow and effortless way. This will no doubt be an image that Lilah will look back on years from now to see her vibrant young mommy, loving her with all that she has.

For once, this post is not about the kids but we couldn’t resist adding that Lilah’s sweet cable knit sweater came from H&M! Check out this link to a similar one at Zara.
