Petite Parade Kids Fashion Week Spring 2015: What My Minifashionista Wore

petite parade celeb u tot“Who’s she wearing??” seemed to be the question of the night.  As if my baby were on the red carpet being interviewed by E!, I had to rattle off the name brands as quickly as I could remember.  To tell you the truth, she wore a mix of high and low – designer brands with everyday lines.   IMG_0849

At Petite Parade’s kids fashion week day 1 she wore a luxurious, black, shimmer,  fringe dress by Les Tout Petits.  I happened to find it for a steal at Century 21.  It was topped off with an equally fab leopard cape, an incredible find from The Children’s Place.  Who knew they made such high-fashion capes for babies right?  (Sorry but this was purchased almost 2 years ago)  The Chanel-inspired hair piece is an adult – sized wrap from Aldo, and shoes were found at a consignment store for $2. Perhaps the best part of her outfit, is the mini-Chanel cell phone cover that she clutched everywhere she went (including up and down the runway). front row at petite parade

The whole outfit head-to-toe was just $80 including the purse.  fab kids

On day 2 we went for a lighter look.  Here was Juliet’s street style.

new york minifashionista The shoes are by Stella, a Zulilly find.  The polka-dot tights are from Old Navy, the velvet dress is from Val Max and was another Century 21 designer deal.  I actually had her wear it backwards so that the front bow with pearls was hidden behind the back of her vest.  (It distracted from her vest and other jewelry that I wanted to add).  The fur vest is from Catimini (another Century 21 purchase) and the necklace is mine.

You won’t believe where her bracelets are from.

These leather chain straps actually came from a pair of my ballet shoes!  They were ankle straps that I wrapped twice around each wrist!  Think outside of the box when styling!  And the clip-on mini tulle crown is actually something I’m selling through my FB page.  (They come in various colors and are $15 shipped).

Style Diary: What To Wear To Work at 33 Weeks Pregnant

You know what made my day?  Fitting into my pre-pregnancy Anne Klein dress.  Ahh the simple pleasures of life!

It’s chilly here in NYC so I topped off the dress with a leopard cardigan and bow belt.  Here, I wore it with my Bruno Magli leather boots (which I got for free from my contact at the showroom years ago), and my Miu Miu tote from Barney’s end of year sale.  You’ve gotta love fab freebies and frugality, right?

For any of you ladies who are reading this and have never gone through pregnancy, here is some birth control for you.  Ever hear how beautiful pregnancy is?  (Don’t listen to those fake celebrities).  Here is the truth.  It sorta sucks!  Your body feels possessed as this baby takes over and transforms your life – your eating and sleeping patterns and general ability to feel like yourself.  Nobody is really honest and upfront about all the negative symptoms you can be tortured with for the 40 week period that is your metamorphosis. So ladies, here is the real deal and my running list of pregnancy symptoms that I’ve learned could inflict a poor pregnant woman (listed from feet up):

  • swollen feet (my friends have had to buy new shoes one size up from their usual)
  • leg cramps (this usually happens while in bed)
  • restless leg syndrome (I never believed this really existed until I experienced it myself)
  • vericose veins
  • loose joints and increased clumsiness
  • constipation
  • nausea / vomitting
  • extreme hunger pangs and crazy cravings
  • always  having to go pee or urinary incontinence if you’re really unlucky
  • gassiness
  • hemorrhoids
  • pelvic discomfort and constant pressure
  • diarrhea
  • bloating
  • a stretched out and literally ripped up vajayjay (sometimes they’ll even cut you a new asshole if you don’t rip naturally during labor!)
  • stretch marks
  • tender boobs
  • leaking boobs
  • back pain
  • heartburn
  • moodiness
  • fatigue
  • shortness of breath
  • carpal tunnel syndrome
  • swollen hands that hurt
  • nosebleeds
  • faintness, dizziness
  • forgetfulness
  • headaches
  • a widened nose
  • stuffed up nose
  • heightened sensitivity to smells (most of which feel highly unpleasant)
  • sore and bleeding gums
  • metallic taste in your  mouth
  • excessive saliva
  • skin discolorations
  • pimples
  • constantly feeling dehydrated
  • insomnia
  • discomfort sleeping.  having to get up every 4-5hours in the middle of sleep for the bathroom, a drink of water and to blow your nose.

At 33 weeks, I’ve experienced my fair share of the above along with 20 additional lbs.  So it’s no wonder that I take delight in the simple pleasures in life like fitting into an old dress.  It’s just one thing that makes you feel back to normal – well sort of.
