This outfit may look a little sophisticated for a young miss but some girls are just a little more stylish and can carry it off. This Black Sparkle Pettiskirt from Belle Ame has a lot of detail and sparkle to make this an extra-special outfit for an extra-special outing or event. It makes me remember the theaters I took my children to during the  holidays to see those classic plays of sugar-plum fairies and grouchy old Scrooges. We also were invited to see the Beauty and the Beast play one season and had the opportunity to go backstage to meet the actors. I was anxious to have my little girl dressed for the occasion because it’s not every day you get to meet a King and and a Princess. This outfit would have been perfect. You should always have something in the closet for those type of occasions.

Visit the web site at BarefootBella.net , where the pettiskirt is priced at $86 and comes in sizes S(2T-4T) and M(4T-6T). Happy Holidays!

I love this little Black Velvet Christmas Dress. Can’t you just feel the smoothness of it? This classic A-shape design is perfect for little rompers. The Christmas trees embroidered on the front remind me of the Edison Company’s light show at Griffith Park in Los Angeles that they present every year. You can drive down the lane at Griffith Park and ooh & ahh at the dozens of Christmas light displays. We’ve gone several times over the years with our children and it’s always freezing. So bundle up and take a thermos of hot chocolate.

If you decide to dress your little girl in this Christmas Dress, match it with a warm turtleneck sweater underneath and extra-warm stockings. She’ll be ready to enjoy the light display (you can also walk along the the displays) and still keep warm. Visit BarefootBella.net to view this item. It is priced at $30 and comes in sizes 2-4T.

Rumored to be among the gifts Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie received for their new twins, these slip ons from Sweet Shoes certainly make a statement.  Made from leather and canvas, these shoes have a layer of phone for added support and are designed to allow for maximal ventilation.  Easy to slip on and off, these shoes are great for casual summer wear.

A favorite of other celebrity parents such as Brooke Burke and Jennifer Lopez, Sweet Shoes slip ons come in sizes from 0-6 months to 18-24 months.  You can purchase a pair for $24 at UrbanBabyRunway.com.  A number of other fun styles are also available.

This is just a gorgeous dress - can I have one in my size? I love the simple design of the Black Check Dress by Rare Editions with classic black and white print and just the right touch of polka-dot ribbon. My daughter would have loved the attached underskirt with added tulle for that “little princess” feel. If you add a pair of black Mary Jane shoes to this dress your little girl is ready for a dress-up ocassion. Add a pair of black or white sandals and your’re ready for fun at the park or the zoo. As thrift-minded moms, we have to appreciate versatility.

The Black Check Dress by Rare Editions is available in sizes 12-24mos. for  $28.99 at Sophiasstyle.com.
