Petite Parade Kids Fashion Show – Bow Trend

PetitePARADE, the bi-annual event and children’s marketing platform is something Juliet and I look forward to each fashion season.  Now that she’s a seasoned front row veteran (at age 3), she really enjoys anticipating seeing all the kids on the runway.  You can see her around the 14 second mark if you look closely at the above video!  And this time around she even told me, “When I’m a big girl, I want to walk in a fashion show too.”  Little does she know (or remember, I should say) that at age 10months, she did actually crawl down her first runway for Old Navy.

Anyways, this season, I was happy to find so many darling bows on the runway.  I found the bow trend was definitely a strong one for fall/winter 2016!  Imoga, Little Creative Factory, Baby CZ, and Sen-35 all featured this feminine frill.

Fab Kids Superhero Outfit Ideas

If your child loves to soar through the air and play superhero, or if your child’s school has an upcoming superhero theme day, or if you have a superhero party coming up, read on for outfit inspiration!   Of course you can go the easy route and buy / wear a superhero costume.  There are plenty to choose from.  But if that seems too Halloween-y or generic for you or if you’d rather creatively transform what’s currently in your child’s closet with a few key accessories, the below examples should inspire you!  With a simple cape, mask and wrist piece set from somewhere like Everfan for instance, your son can go from blah to wow in a NY minute!

With the metallic trend being so hot right now why not start with a neutral dressy base and accessorize with some shiny add-ons?
