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 don’t know what we love more about Kayden! His awesomely unruly blonde curls, his adorable giraffe backpack, or his hippie cool amber necklace!? He has it all! And loves to do it all! Here, he is waiting for the train to take him to the zoo, but he also loves buses and airplanes! Not to mention playing with his toy cars and animals!

Kingsley is only 2 but he already has an easy, laid-back style. His summer wardrobe staples include a fedora, colorful and patterned tops and bright comfortable shoes (he lives in his crocs). Kingsley loves cars, trucks and everything construction-related. Kingsley’s Mommy, Lauren, heads up PR and social media for American Express in Toronto. To see more of Kingsley’s outfits and some great inspiration for Mommy, check out Lauren’s blog ladauphinestyle.blogspot.com.

Christina, one of a kind…

This next photo came to us through a dear friend, Melissa, who is an experienced world traveler and an alluring writer. While visiting Panama this summer, she photographed the lovely Christina amongst an indigenous community. Since we can’t travel there ourselves, we are living vicariously through Melissa and her keen eye for beautiful things around the world. Thank you Melissa! We look forward to seeing more amazing children of the world!

Christina is a 7 year old beauty who is actually going on 50 & who lives in Queens, NY. In her free time she practices African dance with the Purelements: An Evolution in Dance in Brooklyn as well as the Irish Jig. She seems to have a talent for athletics of any kind- swimming and running to name a couple.  She eats at tables with the adults and fits in just fine – one of the many skills acquired from a mother who believes her daughter is a child of the world, not to be defined by her parents.  As such, she has an affinity for rugged travel through countries like Panama and beyond. This is Christina with the Kuna Yala people on the boarder of Panama and Costa Rica. They believed she was one of them and dressed her in their traditional clothing to prove it. She was a celebrity amongst this tribe of naturalists and will be honored by all good people she runs into along her path. – Melissa

Emiliano meaning “rival” certainly has no rivals in the fashion world. He rocks the military trend with his patched jacket and top gun sunglasses. We love that Emiliano chose fire engine red for his sunnies too! This dude is the epitome of cool.
