This Whimsical Autumn Splendor Fall Tutu by Posh Little Tutus has a wonderful seasonal appeal. It could be used in place of a Halloween costume, or just for an autumn occasion where you want to dress your little girl up in a tutu. Made of orange, brown, red, and yellow tulle with a double layered orange & brown satin/chiffon ribbon bow, the tutu also features a removable sunflower that can be worn as a hair clip later. This tutu is available in sizes from 0-3 months up to age 9/10, for $39.99 to $44.99, at PoshLittleTutus.com.

Some of us are fall people. I just like shopping for warm, cozy fall fashions best of all.  And what could be more comforting that this Plum Pretty Top & Pant Set by Le Top? The set includes the smocked shirt & plum corduroy print pants. It is available in sizes:  12, 24, & 18 months for $46 at MyChildClothing.com.  I especially like the contrasting deeper plum color of the pants matched with the lighter lavender-plum top. This is also a wardrobe-stretcher outfit because you can easily mix and match other pants or leggings with the pretty smock top and vice versa.

When October comes around, children just can’t stop talking about the Halloween costumes they want to wear. You see them pouring over catalogs and flyers for this year’s favorite character costumes. While there’s only one day to wear the costume, there are plenty of days leading up to the big day. Your child can start the fun wearing this Spooky Mocks Turtle with front appliques by Hanna Andersson.

Made from pure cotton ribknit for comfort and machine washable, this product is Certified by Oko-Tex Standard 100. The Mock Turtles are available in toddler to pre-teen sizes and are currently on sale for $20  at HannaAndersson.com. Choose from Pansy Purple/Black, Orange Tree/Black or White/Black.

This Knit Tiered dress by Garnet Hill has an empire waist and lettuce-edge tiers. It is trimmed with scalloped picot at the cuffs and neck. With a button back closure, the dress is made from eco-friendly Green Cotton.

This is a lovely choice for a back-to-school outfit for an older child.  Your little girl can look “dressed” for the fall/winter season but still be comfortable in this easy-wear cotton rib-knit dress.

What I used to like about wearing a Duffle Coat was its roomy fit and fun and unusual toggle buttons. The look of the Italian wool herringbone (with Austrian horn and leather toggles) just says “fall”. You won’t have to worry about your child keeping warm and cozy at school during recess periods or those windy walks this fall.

The Papo d’Anjo Duffle Coat is available in sizes12mos, 18mos, 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 8, 10, 12. It comes in the following colors: Hot Pink, Royal Blue, Green, Navy, Brown, Camel, Light Blue, Pink, Red, and Brick.  It also available in colors appropriate for boys.

This great fall set from Mis-Tee-V-Us is sure to catch your attention.  I love the quirky owl print on the tunic and the bright color combinations are startling–but definitely in a good way.  I love the contrast between the owl tunic and the brightly-striped leggings.  And, of course, the colors and woodland theme are perfect for fall. The pieces could also be matched separately with other wardrobe staples to make a wide range of looks.

The Mis-Tee-V-Us Owls Tunic and Leggings Set is made from soft cotton and comes in sizes from 3T-12.  The price varies by size, and ranges from $55-64.  You can purchase the set at AChildsCloset.com.

Want to celebrate fall and Halloween without going over the top?  You might want to check out this Fair Isle Pumpkin Beret from Janie and Jack.  My girls have had other similar hats from the company in the past, and I was surprised that they were actually willing to keep them on.  They look absolutely adorable in pictures.

I love the simple fall look of this beret, which will keep your little one toasty and looking fashionable all through the fall season. It is made from a Nylon/Wool/Viscose blend and lined with 100% cotton for comfort.

You can purchase one for $20 at janieandjack.com.  It is available in sizes from 0-6 months to 4T/5T.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this item was “Pippi Longstalking.” You remember the stories about the unusual little girl with the long funny braids and all the outrageous and fun adventures? This little Cakewalk Caberet Baby Girls Sweater Cardigan stands out (like Pippi) as a fun and whimsical outfit.

This cardigan is available for fall pre-order. A matching beret style hat is available (sold separately) that will just complete the look.  The sweater comes in sizes 3 mos to 18 mos. for $54.00 at LittleLunaBlue.com.

It’s lined in soft sherpa and has a toggle front. It is also available with matching skeggings (sold separately).

I think it’s a perfectly romantic look for a special night and with a style that is completely kid-wearable (no stiff fabrics or tight cuffs). This jacket is available in sizes  2T, 3T, 4,T, 4/5(+$2), 8(+$6), 10(+$6), & 12 (+$6) and is $76.00 at LittleLunaBlue.com.

We recently learned that baby number three is another girl.  With two other daughters, both of whom have extensive wardrobes, and one of whom was born in the same month that this baby is due, we really don’t need any baby clothes.  And yet, it is so fun to shop for them.

On my short list at the moment is this kimono set from Baby Nay’s just-released fall Foliage line.  Baby Nay always has great fabrics, and this outfit does not disappoint.  I love the set’s bold color combinations, and it looks like it would be super-comfortable, even for a newborn.  I’m a huge fan of two piece sets over sleepers, so the simple design of this outfit is another big plus in my book.

It is available in sizes from 3-12 months, and I think it would look great on little ones in any stage, from tiny infant, to crawler, to toddler. You can purchase this fun outfit for $48 from ForgetMeNotKids.com.

I’m sure you’ve noticed all the summer sales going on around town and on the net. Time to start looking forward to fall fashions. This Mim-Pi Blue Polka Dot Dress & Tights Set looks like so much fun to wear (boots sold separately). I don’t which my daughter would have liked most about this outfit: the vibrant blue color, the dynamic geometric patterns, or the cool layered look?
