Styling a Kids’ Valentine’s Photo Shoot with Danny Weiss

When renowned photographer, Danny Weiss asks you to collaborate on a kids’ project, you don’t say no.  I was so excited that I didn’t fret about having to charge all these clothes on my card and then have to return and pray that everything credited OK post-shoot…well almost. haha Luckily, all the borrowed clothes stayed in perfect condition and everything went just fine.

We aimed for a Valentine’s themed look, with lots of reds, some hearts and a lot of fun thrown in!

I want her to stay this little forever!

Keeping in line with the black, white and red color story, we shot the below series and danced along to some music.  The kids were too much!

My daughter, the GUESS girl

The outfit below was fashioned with a Guess Kids sweater/jacket that we purchased on our own.  I can’t help but jump in delight a little when I find fab furs for kids.  This one had the exact shades to match her pom pom hat so we had to snag it!

I have such nostalgia around the GUESS brand.  Growing up in the 80s, that was THE jean to have.  Who here’s an 80’s girl??  Remember how that triangular brand on the jeans signaled status, trendiness, and proof that you were part of the cool club?  It was soooo coveted!  So when GUESS invited us into their showroom, for an exclusive visit, we were so honored and couldn’t wait to experience their branded world.  Plus we got to walk away with some amazing items to add to our wardrobe (see all the wonderful pieces below)!

GUESS Kids, prides itself on being a fashion-forward collection of clothing geared towards the trendsetting boy and girl.   This black fur coat with its leather detailing would transform any toddler into a trendsetter for sure!  She gets compliments on it every time she wears it.  I think it’s because the women, like me are all secretly wishing it came in their size. Aren’t you jealous that it doesn’t?kids fashion, minifashionista, pom pom hat

The peachy, peplum top shown below is so girly glam that Juliet just HAD to have this one.  She actually picked it out herself and I’m so glad she did because when I brought it home, I realized it was the perfect underpinning for her new cardigan.  What an adorable addition to her wardrobe!

This lace, floral number screamed spring and made for a terrific Easter weekend outfit.  Here, we amped up the ladylike feel with some dainty gloves, a bright pink tutu and matching floppy hat and some bright white accessories.

And finally, here’s Juliet twinning with a real GUESS jeans model, Gigi Hadid with her GUESS jeans.  After seeing all the fashion inspiration split pics on my Instagram account, @fab_kids, and featuring the ones tagged #fab_copy, I just had to get in on the fun!

So now basically after this incredible experience and all these gifted clothes, my daughter and I are now forever GUESS girls.
