10 KID BRANDS TO KNOW

+ some housekeeping notes

Some Housekeeping notes …

• I haven’t formally introduced the new video series. Truth be told I was so nervous to hit post, I did it as quickly as possible, before I could regret it. Your support has been amazing, I am SO very thankful for all your emails, DMs, and messages. I have some incredible people who will be joining the series, I can’t wait to show you…. next one is going live next week :)

• I went to Merlette’s store opening in Montecito last week and it was dreamy. I met Marina ( the owner) during our NYC days, and it’s been so nice to see the brand’s evolution ( plus I’m selfishly happy they moved to the West Coast). The pieces are easy and chic. I got to wear this amazing knit set, but I highly recommend the cotton dresses + the handbags are a MUST ( plus so well priced). If you are in the area I highly recommend you stop by ( or if you are in LA like me it’s worth the day trip. Montecito is where my husband and I got married so I have a soft spot for it).

• If you haven’t checked out the BOMBASTIC sale edit. Now would be a good time It’s a great way to shop for the holidays or send links to your loved ones. Its categorized to make your life easy.

• The hunt for the perfect leather jacket has been ON. And the 2 finalists are THIS one which I fell in love with after seeing Courtney Grow wearing it, or THIS one from the coolest IYKYK brand right now ( ps: use code FUENTE20 for 20% the site).

• Speaking of IYKYK Brands SLOAN enters the chat. A lot of people say this but this brand was literally built on the premise of building a wardrobe and it shows. Everything goes so well together, and it really makes it easier to get dressed day or night. Just got myself the cropped black jacket, and this see-through skirt, but I have been dreaming about this belt too. Merry Christmas to me. Speaking of Christmas , Julia ( the designer) has been nice enough to share the love and gift you all 20% off the whole website with the code ZILLIONTRILLION20 - merry merry indeed.

• Alex Mill is killing it this holiday season. They launched a collab with the the iconic Roman store Schostal and these Pjs are #1 on my list. Also on my list are these pants from the collab Becky Malinsky. The color is so pretty!!! It would look so chic with this sweater, or even this one ( which I have previously mentioned here, and it’s almost sold out).

• Ok now let’s talk kid brands! Below are 10 kid brands to know & love

POMPON CUCU

French brand started by an interior decorator that makes the cutest hats. I got one as a present and ended up ordering 3 more ( look how cute? , plus you can personalize them too)

KOKO MOMO KIDS

LA-based unisex brand brand. Their iconic pants are a must, and the new tie-dye pieces are so cool. I’m eyeing these red pants and this cute top for Atlas.

BABAA

Sustainable knitwear brand based in Spain. Known for their bright-colored cool sweaters for adults & now kids too. How good is this one?

ORZO STUDIOS

Timeless minimal clothing for kids’ aesthetic filled with tonal outfits and elevated details. I wish they had this jacket and this set in my size.

EMILY DAWN LONG

NYC Cool “Kids” brand just launched THIS kids hat, and I melted. ( As seen on Leandra & Cassi ‘s babies )

MAISON RUE KIDS

Non-toxic, eco-friendly line Inspired by Nordic design. This set looks like a jewelry box, but I can’t choose between that one and this one? Help!

ZIMMERMAN SHOES

Family-owned, American-made shoes since 1888. The quality is excellent. Adding these to the chart.

UNA SOL LINEN

Mom-owned, LA-based brand that uses GOTS® certified 100% organic flax French linen bedding. This is the cutest kids’ blanket, and these pants would be perfect for summer.

FAVORITE PEOPLE STORE

Portuguese colorful brand of overalls founded by 2 sisters. There are SO MANY good options but my favorite 2 are these cute flower ones & the color-blocked ones.

PORTRAIT OF A MOON

Australian-based alpaca knitwear brand. Someone with a daughter PLEASE buy this set + this one too.

Besos,
