Happy First Day of Fall

Happy first day of fall, babes! Now we love summer just as much as everyone else — the beach days, the patios, the best adventures with our littles — but we are thrilled to welcome our favorite season. Now obviously the sun is still shining and the summer temperatures are still hanging on, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to build the cozy wardrobe that we've been dreaming about. So stock up on hot cocoa, plan some apple orchard trips, and check out our top fall styles.

We are wild for animal print, and when you pair that with balloon sleeves and make it as cozy as could be, we can’t possibly say no. We’re hoping sweater season rolls in soon, so we can pair this leopard jumper from Lost in Lunar with some high-waisted mom jeans and Chelsea boots.

We’ve been dreaming about this sweater dress from Minkpink ever since we first laid eyes on her. This is instantly the perfect outfit, and it doesn’t even matter where you’re going. The color-blocked chevron design brings a retro vibe and the shift fit keeps it crazy comfortable. For a day out and about, we like to pair it with sneakers, but then slip on some thigh-high boots the second the sun goes down.

Now that we’ve set our sights on this shearling denim jacket from Show Me Your Mumu, we are irate that it’s still sundress weather. But that won’t stop us from wearing it with anything and everything, and powering through the heat. With that relaxed fit, you can easily layer it over even the thickest sweaters, and the shearling lining means it’ll keep you warm when winter shows up.

If you know anything about us, you know that we are firm believers that bell-bottoms should be worn on a regular basis. So, of course, we had to bring in some autumn vibes by making them burgundy and corduroy. Try pairing these corduroy bell-bottoms from Show Me Your Mumu with a cropped sweater and some booties for a look that’s as bold as you are.

There’s a reason why cardigans are the ultimate wardrobe staple — they instantly warm up any outfit. But this year it’s all about the statement cardigan, and this bright magenta cardigan from Minkpink sure makes a statement with the cropped length, fuzzy fabric, and bold buttons.

Okay, I guess we have to accept that the leaves aren’t going to instantly turn and the days won’t be the perfect temperature the second the first day of fall shows up on our calendars, so while the days are still warm, this gauze jumpsuit from Stillwater will be the perfect go-to choice. Of course, when things cool down, all you have to do is layer on a long coat, like our favorite pink teddy coat from Lost in Lunar, and you’ll be ready to go.

One of the best things about fall is the cuddling up with a good movie and your favorite snacks, so we couldn’t have a fall outfit list without adding in these thermal jogger pants from MATE The Label. These organic cotton sweatpants will be the easiest thing to throw on whether you are running errands (try pairing them with a graphic tee to add a little extra style) or you’re just relaxing at home.

Keep it Trending in the New Year

2019 is all about going bright and bold and bringing that confidence into every other aspect of our lives. We’re already seeing things shift from those groovy ‘70s vibes that took over last year, but don’t worry, vintage isn’t going anywhere. To make your style transition smoother, we’ve pulled together our favorite trends for 2019 and some ways that you can style everything to bring in your own personalized touch. All that’s left to do is rock them!

Sustainable Fashion

Sustainable high-waisted skinny jeans from Boyish denim

Anyone who knows fashion knows that it’s an industry full of pollution, but luckily, we’re seeing things move toward sustainability and away from fast fashion. In fact, this is one of the biggest trends that we’ll see take over this year. Some people might hear this and think that means they have to spend a small fortune to try to do good, but we’re here to show you how it’s done: vintage, vintage, vintage. We all know that the ‘90s takeover is very real (just look to any store or fashion blogger for evidence of that), but keep things authentic by finding your new favorite pieces from your local thrift shops, consignment stores, or online vintage shops like Moth Oddities (one of our favorites). Once you find some vintage treasures, mix them with pieces from companies that do good — our favorite go-to outfit for a girls’ night out is to tie the front of a vintage concert tee and pair it with the Zachary Skinny Jeans from Boyish. Then, of course, we can’t leave the house without a vintage oversized Levi’s jean jacket.

Menswear with a Twist

High-waisted trouser pants for menswear-inspired look

Fashion trends often mirror other social trends, and with powerful ladies taking over the world faster than ever before, we’re seeing a lot more options for chic menswear. And we know what you’re thinking — menswear isn’t anything new — but 2019 is doing things differently. All of our favorite menswear-inspired pieces have something that makes them stand out, like the flattering and feminine high-waisted cut of the Posey Pants from Cleobella and the sweet waterfall front on the Proxy Blazer from Wish. For a fun way to offset the masculine energy of these pieces, try pairing your version of the menswear trend with some more feminine styles, like a floral top with trouser pants.

Pants as a Statement

Striped high-waisted wide-leg pants

It’s all about being bold and not backing down, and with the power of statement pants on your side, you can do anything (just try them on and you’ll see what we’re talking about). The best part about this trend is that there’s something for every style — you can go more classic with bell-bottom pants and distressed denim or our more colorful babes can rock the Pandora Pants from Lost + Wander. We’re also keeping our drawers stocked with biker shorts, which are the perfect choice to pair with a tank top for a casual vibe or under a mini dress for easy comfort-meets-retro style.

Eye-Catching Earrings

Lightweight resin statement earrings from Moon Water Co.

Within the last couple of months, large, bold earrings have taken over from the more classic styles we’ve been rocking lately. With everything from long statement hoop earrings, like these Ettika earrings, to colorful resin earrings from Moon Water Co., this trend is your solution for keeping your style fresh even when you don’t feel like changing out of your jeans and a relaxed tee for a night out.

Bodysuits with Everything

Flowy printed bodysuit from Free People

Say goodbye to shirts riding up and clunky tucking — 2019 is the year of comfort! And at the very top of our list of genius inventions that don’t get enough credit, you will find the bodysuit. That’s right, we’re replacing all of our tops with bodysuits (well, not really, but we would if we could). They are the most versatile trend we’ve seen yet: you can pick one that has a dressier style and a relaxed fit, like the Willow Bodysuit from Free People and then slip on the Georgia Denim Skirt from DL1961 for brunch out with the family or edge things up with the Jane Striped Bodysuit from Harlow Jade and some boyfriend jeans or cutoff shorts from Boyish.

Brighten Things Up

Colorful striped mini dress with belt and ruffles

Even if you aren’t keeping up with Pantone’s color of the year each year, you’ll have no choice but to see it everywhere — we’re talking home decor, fashion, and even film. This year we are in love with Living Coral as the perfect way to brighten things up and bring some easy cheer to our lives, and we’ll be seeing a lot of other bright colors gracing the runways and our closets. This Cropped Varsity Sweater is an easy jumping off point for that vibrant style and we can't leave the Island Fever Mini Dress off of the list of pieces we need. You can also expect more quirky patterns popping up, with polka dots and bold florals helping us make the transition from the ‘70s-inspired styles that marked 2018 fashion to a year of the ‘80s, which some may fear but we welcome with open arms.

Another floral piece we love is the Bloom Midi Skirt by Harlow Jade, below. Whether she’s blowing bubbles or chasing butterflies, she’ll be comfortable and covered in these vibrant skirts.

Animal Print

Animal prints in children’s fashion have spiked in popularity over the last couple seasons. Leopard print, especially, has made its presence with its mature yet playful feel – the perfect balance for your mini fashionista. Despite preconceived notions, animal prints can be versatile. Take a chance with the Wild Things Dress by oldbazaaristanbul!

Or, tone it down with the Leopard Camilla Skirt, also a fantastic piece by oldbazaaristanbul. With this skirt, your little one can still express their wild side while coupled with either a solid or graphic top, as pictured above.

Graphics

Youthful and fun, statement and graphic tees are cute on any boy or girl – not to mention, they are appropriate for most casual settings from the backyard bbq’s to theme parks. Get your hands on some bold graphics to match your child’s personality. Then, all you would have to do is throw on jeans or shorts to complete your little’s look. You can’t go wrong with the Big Sister Tee and the Best Big Bro Muscle Tee by Chaser Kids!

Paper Straw Hats

If your little one doesn’t already have a hat of his or her own, what are you waiting for? Not only do they make adorable accessories, adding extra flair to any outfit, but they help protect your child’s face from the sun. Alongside sunscreen, paper straw hats are the way to go. Shield against the summer rays with the Cowboy Sunhat or Tassel Cowgirl Sunhat by Snapper Rock!

Tassels

On-trend mamas know that tassels are in this summer! They’re festive and fancy. What’s not to love about tassels? They make any piece chic and summer-y. Watch them swing while she plays! Pair her smile with the Serena Dress, left, or the Kate Dress by Mer St. Barth, right.
