Beautiful little Violet Affleck first wore her Big Sister tee by Pluto Kids in January when little sister Seraphina was born, seen here with her daddy, actor Ben Affleck. While shopping with mummy this week, actress Jennifer Garner, Violet matched it with some really cute sneakers (watch this space) and an adorable teddy bear on roller skates. So sweet.
With a new baby brother or sister due any day now, little Harlow Winter Kate Madden is hangin' with daddy, rocker Joel Madden at the Farmer's Market in LA. We love the Bonpoint Cylliani Dress in Gingham Indigo which Harlow first wore out with mummy Nicole Richie back in April. Such a gorgeous baby : )
In the latest issue of US People magazine, Jerry O'Connell shares some personal photographs of his baby daughters with wife Rebecca Romijn - twins Charlie Tamara Tulip & Dolly Rebecca Rose. Wearing our old favourite Trumpette Mary Jane Pastels, of which Nicole Kidman & Sunday Rose are also fans, how cute are these two little cherubs, out at a baseball game with their daddy and his brother Charlie
Soleil Moon Frye, co-owner of The Little Seed, an environmentally friendly children's boutique, was seen in LA with daughters Poet & Jagger this past week, Poet wearing a really groovy Think Green Kids Tee by Revenge Is.. I found it through Inhabitots which is a really cool website whose mission is "sustainable design for the next generation" and they are a great source of information for environmentally aware parents. I look forward to having a better look through their site when I have some spare time. Being eco friendly should be at the top of our lists as parents of the future generations, who will likely be most affected by the choices we make today
Whichever way you look at it, we are living in a world that will need a little more TLC in years to come and many more designers of children's clothing and accessories are choosing to use more environmentally friendly materials in their products to help in this cause. I am starting a new feature here at gigi + lulu called Eco Princess Style which will showcase some of those designers and retailers who are helping to look after our planet for our children and their children
Back in July, Suri was seen out and about in Melbourne in local label Moppit. Well, get your shopping shoes back on girls - they are on sale! Since you guys will be returning to the Northern winter, Katie, please support the local economy and stock up on some more Moppit for our favourite little fashionista ; )
We love a little bit of tie dye on the weekend - and Violet Affleck is uber-cute in these Juicy Couture Tie Dye Velour Pants
Happy Birthday to us!
A friend of mine sent me the link to this book - it's called Mommy's High Heel Shoes. The illustrations are just delightful and I am thinking about getting a copy for Gigi for Christmas. It has also inspired me to start up a new weekly roundup of celebrity baby shoes which will also feature some fantastic children's footwear designers from around the world. I have lots of shoe featured blogs in the "Funky Little Feet" category, including some pretty Australian designs worn by Suri Cruise in her stay here in Australia. You can read more about this lovely little book here
So many pairs of new shoes - lucky gal! Gigi would love to see what else Suri has in her shoe closet right now. Here are a few of the shoes she was seen "stepping out" in this week (from left to right):
Suri and Katie Holmes were seen shopping up a storm in Seed today - spring/summer 09 available online now - wonder what Katie bought for Suri - lets hope we see real soon : )
Sick of the boring tent dresses that you see in maternity boutiques? Yes, you know the ones - those that could house a three ring circus underneath in colours so blah, you would blend in on a rainy day? My policy was simple when I was heavily pregnant during the warmer months - NO TENT DRESSES! Instead, I was a big fan of the babydoll dress, as well as strapless, elasticized dresses that grew with my tummy. In particular I had a hot pink Charlie Brown strapless dress that I practically lived in. While browsing around the web this week, I came across this photo of Matthew McConaughey's partner and baby mumma Camila Alves - what an absolutely stunning dress! It's from NYC designer Yumi Kim - the Woori Dress in Watercolour
I was reading in the newspaper this week the lovely story behind the christening dress worn by Bert & Patti Newton's granddaughter Eva Eunice Welsh, baby daughter of Lauren Newton and her husband, Olympic swimming champion Matthew Welsh. The dress the three month old little princess was christened in was worn by her mummy 30 years ago and was sent in to Bert & Patti by a listener of their radio show back then. Patti loved the dress so much she dressed Lauren in it and now little Eva continues the tradition. I think this is a lovely story and wanted to share ours with you as well. Gigi was christened in the summer months wearing an embroidered christening gown made by me for my Year 10 major assignment when I was just 16 years old. I remember vividly embroidering the green and gold flowers wondering if my future baby boy or girl may wear this dress one day. It was a proud day to see little Gigi wearing it, I must say. Alternatively, baby Lulu was christened in the winter months and she wore a knitted christening gown that I wore as a baby and the dainty lace bonnet was given to me by my grandmother many years ago when we were going through some old fabrics and lace tablecloths and I fell in love with it. Needless to say my mum was chuffed on both occasions. Both my little girls' dresses were of sentimental value to me and I would say Patti & Lauren felt the same on little Eva's christening day
I am a big fan of this designer - 3.1 Phillip Lim has some beautiful looks in his Spring 2009 collection at Barneys New York. They don't stock the Tank Dress with Lace in Sand at Barneys, but you can see it on the 3.1 Phillip Lim website - a gorgeous, simplistic little dress in a neutral colour for your little princess. And I also love the Hooded Rain Slicker in Navy - looks like a mini version of a grown up trench coat. So many fashions, so little time : )
While sourcing the cute drum kit t-shirt worn by Coco Arquette, I have stumbled upon funky kids online boutique Punk-N-Pie. Now you know I am always on the look out for beautiful little fashions and accessories for little princesses, but in this case I have found some cool stuff for beautiful little rock princesses! Coco is wearing the Jeeto Band T (currently only available in Black) but you can get the pink version for your mini groupies in a Jeeto Band Onesie. Another fave of mine is the tshirt that says: "I am at Peace with Being a Princess" - so cute!
Loving little Suri's ivory silk dress that she wore this week in Melbourne while out and about with her superstar mummy & daddy, Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise. I haven't yet established the origin of this particular dress but found some similar dresses from JCrew crewcuts, a fave label of First Lady Michelle Obama. From left to right above we have the following:
So many dresses, so little time! A week ago I had never before seen these gorgeous little Spanish royal sisters and here they are again in another delightful little dress. Infanta Leonor & Infanta Sophia of Spain are seen here at a sailing event in Palma wearing a white waffle weave sundress with a lace ribbon trim and lilac satin bow. They are wearing the same little sandals they were wearing last week with their hot pink sundresses. If I have any Spanish friends out there, please, please help me out with the source of these beautiful dresses : )
As I predicted in my earlier post, Shiloh was possibly wearing a pair of camo pants that belonged to one of her brothers and here we have it - Maddox wearing the pants himself! And why not? All brothers and sisters share their clothes - don't they? Ask Lulu - she gets a second round of Gigi's old fashions all the time ; )
Possibly a hand-me-down from big brothers Maddox or Pax, Shiloh Joile-Pitt looks uber-cute in her camos - we found a pair at American Eagle 77 Kids - the belted camo cargo pants. Looks like older sister Zahara, also seen here on a shopping trip with yummy mummy Angelina Jolie, is wearing black Havianas with her black jeans - super cute sisters : )
Has there ever been two cuter actual little princesses? Sisters Infanta Leonor, 3 & Infanta Sophia, 2, daughters of Crown Prince Felipe & Princess Letizia of Spain looked absolutely adorable in their matching pink dresses on an outing to the Saint Mary of Valencia Cathedral. I would love to know the origin of these dresses so please email me if you have those details : )
Jessica Alba is obviously a big fan of the Trumpette line of baby shoes and accessories - her beautiful daughter Honor Marie has worn both the Pixie & Ballerina sockettes as well as the the Trumpette Rosies. This week whilst out at the Griddle Cafe in LA, Honor Marie was wearing the Trumpette Baby Tracks in Silver/Pink. We also love her Charlie Brown t-shirt - it is from Junk Food - The Snoopy Puppy Love Tee. It is just as cute as the Mini Fine Peanuts Balloon Tee that Violet Affleck was wearing back in March
