Happy Friday, mamas! Isn’t this little dolly all decked out in adorable duds from Bitte and captured in the most golden fall light by Erin of Naturally Ella the cutest ever?! Maia, owner of kids shop Bitte, sent over these photos featuring a whole crew of littles and their mamas enjoying some good ol’ crisp fall air and it just seemed like such perfect fashion inspo for all you with family photo sessions on the books this season. Take a peek!

You can shop all of the kids’ clothes in Bitte’s online shop, like the pima pom pom hat + organic henley jumpsuit.

The key to fall fashion of any age is obviously the layers, right? This is the moss stitch coat + prairie dress + leather bear bag.

We spy some pretty fall foliage crowns!

Cactus organic baby leggings + pocket tee

Drawstring pants + bamboo baby cardi

Sometimes you want to keep colors neutral for family shoots, especially if you’ll have a lot going on in the background. This organic fleecy vest + navy stripe dress + bear bag combo totally puts off the cozy neutrals vibe, huh?

Bamboo baby shirt + jacket + bloomers + bear bonnet

Um, those moss bloomers with the chunky pullover and bonnet are too sweet.

There’s nothing like tiny humans all dressed up in the cutest getups to make your whole weekend before it even starts. Hazel Village (makers of darling toys like the one above) just expanded their woodland world to kidswear, so now kids and their fave companions can both play dress up. Spoiler alert, tons of sweet photos to follow!

Everything follows Hazel Village’s signature woodland elf-themed style, like this organic cotton fleece Elf Jacket.

The lowdown… In this first collection of many to come, you can find a beautiful forest-green Elf Hoodie, a Liberty of London dress, a shirt with a Kangaroo-like front pocket to carry an animal on adventures, and even the Village’s signature red bonnet which has been worn by the animals for the past 6 years! 

Get out your cameras, mamas!

The clothes (doll and kiddo sized) are available on the Hazel Village website and select retailers.

Have you noticed how many insanely cute boutique kids’ brands have popped up over the last few years? It’s impossible to keep up with them! Seems like every time we open instagram we find another adorable tee or jumpsuit or pair of shoes we *have* to have for our littles. But let’s be honest, who has the time to track it all down? Enter Mac & Mia, your own personal kids’ stylist! Following the genius box concept we’ve seen for adults, Mac & Mia delivers a pretty package stuffed full of unique finds that meet your, ahem – your child’s, personal style right to your front door.

Pretty sure these kids have better wardrobes than we do!

And as if you need more convincing (we definitely don’t!), Mac & Mia sources unique articles of clothing from brands you won’t find in mainstream retailers. Each box tells the story of the artisans and independent brands that have crafted the selections each month, and Mac & Mia carefully considers social and environmental standards when choosing its brand partners.

That little package looks good to us! Want to give it a try? Mac & Mia is offering $25 OFF the your first box for the first 25 customers who sign up. That’s $25 worth of free, adorable kids clothes. Yes, please.

To get started, pop over to Mac & Mia to create your account using the Stylist Code MACCAKE25. Might as well see what they have tucked away to fit your style. We can say with utter certainty that it’s going to be good, and remember, you only pay for what you keep. Happy un-shopping!

Remember that bright, creative girl’s room we shared last week from Visual Vocabularie? Well, she’s got another cute post for you all too. This dress! Her daughter wore it the first day of school but you could totally do this for a holiday gift for your little one! You have to see the video after the jump of how she turned her daughter’s drawing into a pattern for Spoonflower. She did it all by hand and with her phone. No graphic designing skills needed.

Now that we’re through Halloween and heading into the magic of the holiday season, we’re betting some of you mamas are looking for something a little extra special for you children to wear to various events over the next few months. Do you know Flora and Henri? If not, you’re in for a big treat. Pioneers in the children’s clothing industry for nearly 20 years, they create clothing for newborn – 12 years that feels both natural and sophisticated, that embraces a slow-family sensibility while remaining thoroughly modern and relevant to today’s ever-busy lifestyle.

Which is to say, pieces from Flora and Henri are those that your children will wear and then you will tuck them away safely in a chest to save for your grandchildren when the time comes. They are meant to be worn and loved and then passed on and worn and loved some more.

{Frances Flat in Prouesse}

{Puff Performance Parka in white}

Each piece is meant to compliment a child’s natural beauty — pure, simple, and exquisite — with a European quality and fabrication. Ahem, see silk fairy floss dress above. How beautiful is that for a little darling?

We love that they’re also continually committed to ethical manufacturing that benefits the women and children in the communities where their clothing is made. They work with positive impact facilities in Madagascar, Nepal, and Bolivia in order to ensure that their overseas production is operated in the most responsible way. In addition they’ve recently brought 25% of their product home to Seattle in order to support local garment manufacturing. Can you tell that we love everything about them?!

Maybe vintage style PJs for Christmas this year?

{Baby Silk Satin Fairy Floss Dress}

Love that gorgeous robin’s egg blue parka with the gold zipper! It’s thoughtful details like these that make Flora and HenriFlora and Henri so special.

If ever there was a party dress, this ruffly grey number is it. Holiday photos plus holiday parties plus the actual holiday. Plenty of use to rationalize it!

Such a lovely change from typical big-box options, don’t you think? These clothes are true modern heirlooms, if you ask us.
