STYLED | SUMMER TODDLER FASHION

Good grief. Are these not some of the cutest tots you’ve ever seen?! Lucas and some of his best buddies got together for a morning of fun (bubbles, lollipops, and hugs 😉 and a photo shoot on a sick NYC rooftop. Do these kids have it made or what?

My girls at Well Rounded asked me to style this shoot and I jumped at the chance. The kids are all wearing some of my favorite brands that Lucas wears daily. Photography was shot by Lindsey who is so so talented and an absolute gem. The kiddos are all our own and I think they made the cutest models 😉 You can see the entire shoot and learn more about the brands here. Thanks again to Kaity, Jessica, and Lindsey – you ladies are the absolute dream team! 

MAMA AND LEÓN WEAR | PRINCESS OF THE POSSE

LINDSEYBELLE_12

A few weeks ago Lucas and I had the pleasure to work with the ultimate dream team. The best part? Each and every one was a mama bear fueled by creativity and art. If you didn’t know, now ya know – Princess of the Posse is one of the coolest brands I’ve ever laid eyes on. I was immediately drawn to their signature tee, No. 1. I’m the only gal in my brood of boys so c’mon. Talk about perfection! The creator and designer, Kelly B., is also a NYC stylist (both women and kids) and is a rockstar. We emailed back and forth and Kelly came up with an amazing concept: NYC street – complete with rollers in my hair. I just about died! I immediately contacted my crazy talented friend Lindsey to photograph the shoot (she just had her work published in Babiekins you guys!). Nina Luz did my hair and makeup. I was so floored by her work that 2 weeks later I called her to cut my hair (for those that know me this is huge. I’m terrified of haircuts and trust no one! Nina is now my go-to hair champion.) All star mamas for the win! We took to the streets on a very hot NYC day and Lucas was a champ. Cherry lollipops also helped a bit. I am so excited to finally share these images with you! I also sat down with Kelly and got to chat about her inspiration, fashion, and tips on dressing your mini fashionistas. Our Q&A is below. I hope you enjoy her thoughtful responses as much as I did!

ALICE’S TEA CUP

On a muggy NYC Monday, Lucas and I ventured off to meet two of our dear friends and their babes for a Little Vida spring photo shoot. Yazmin is the founder of this incredible online children’s boutique and her gorgeous daughter Vida is Lucas’s very best buddy. Lindsey is a super mom, blogger, and talented photographer. Her little Stella is just about the cutest one year old you have ever laid eyes on. Lucas was quite the lucky gentleman to be surrounded by so many talented and beautiful women 😉 The theme for our shoot was Alice in Wonderland and the location was Alice’s Tea Cup on the upper east side. Perfection perfection perfection! Luckily all three kiddos were in amazing spirits and ready for the camera 😉 Together we all worked our magic and the result was an overload of cute.
