This week we have a super c-u-t-i-e . I’m especially tickled by his name—TIGER! I love it. Yes, it’s his real name. Nope it’s not short for anything. Just straight up awesomeness. This little California boy is two years old (or 27 months to be exact). His style is a little bit hip and a little bit outdoorsy and a whole lotta stylish. Let’s get on with the show…presenting….Tiger!

I love it.  “He also likes (sitting on) our dog, Sadie Mae, and he likes his baby sister, Reyn. Most of the time.” Oh little Tiger, we like you ALL of the time! Thank you so much Ingrid, for sharing this fabulous little charmer with us!

I try not to play favorites with our Weekly Kiddo. You know I truly love them all! But I have to say that this week’s kiddo is OFF THE CHARTS FABULOUS. Meet the amazing Q. This child has such an eclectic and quirky style. Her mama is Maia Chavez Larkin, a children’s fashion illustrator and designer. She is a style maven herself, so it’s no wonder that little Q is so stylish. Q was adopted from China at the age of eleven months. Now a leggy three and a half years old, she is a fulltime joy machine! You will notice that the sassy Miss Q is a super model in the making, her mama tells us she is in the 98th percentile in height which makes her quite a bit taller and gives her the appearance of being a little older. Her American name is Flynn, which I love almost as much as “Q”!

Ahhhhh! Am I right?  I love the silver leggings and that gigantic bow is MAJOR. So fantastic. Maia says that Q usually dislikes hair accessories and barrettes but was smitten with this splashy St. Patrick’s Day bow tie. Hilarious AND fabulous!

As an aside, Q lives in Colorado and apparently the weather fluctuates wildly. On this day it was extremely warm—even though there was still a bit of snow on the ground! (sounds suspiciously like our San Francisco weather….)

Ahhhhhhh! Pretty amazing huh? I wouldn’t lie to you peeps. I told you this was a special girl. While she may look high-maintenance with her chic ensembles, appearances are deceptive! Her mama told us:

“Q is a dyed-in-the-wool tomboy who would be happier running around like Mowgli of the jungle. She loves basketball, ice hockey, rock climbing, and really any sport that comes along. She has never met a sport she doesn’t adore. She loves trips to the museum and also loves to rock out with one of her play guitars. She can often be heard chanting “Hey! Ho! Let’s GO!” from the Ramone’s anthem Blitzkrieg Bop. We have an eclectic household, and she is definitely a product of her environment! She is much-loved by many via our blog, Une Envie de Sel. Her daddy is a journalist, and mommy is a children’s fashion illustrator…hence the rest of the wardrobe!”

Speaking of her mama, I had to include this sweet photo. You can see how adorable this pair is—and clearly Q inherited her mama’s fashion sense. Thank you so much Maia for sharing this amazing little one with us! Be sure to stop by Maia’s shop, The Voyager, to see more of her lovely work!

Do *you* have a stylish kiddo you’d like to show off? Send ’em our way! You can find submission details here. We love all kinds of kiddos….vintage and thrift loving liddles, modern grooviness wearing tots and simply sweet, down-to-earth kiddos. I’ll see you this afternoon with a few more posts!

Whoo hooo, TGIF people! I’m soooo glad it’s Friday. Last weekend we had GLORIOUS weather….sunny, warm….it was fan-freakin’ tastic! Then this entire week has been ccccold and rainy. Boooo. Crossing my fingers that we go back to sunshine for the weekend! Before we sign off for the weekend we have a couple of things to share—first up, our Weekly Kiddo! This little sweet pea is from West Virginia and has one of the best names we’ve heard in a long time: HAZEL! Miss Hazel is a fabulous two and she loves to dress up.

Her sweet mama Jacklynn tells us that all these awesome outfits are thrifted or hand me downs from family friends! Whooo hoo! Sassy eco chic—our favorite! Thanks to growth spurts, children’s clothes often have such little wear you can really find some great things second hand. Let the show begin!

How cute is this little girlie with her sundress and wellies? I love the flower headband—and I think Miss Hazel does too! She looks pleased as punch.

This next outfit is one of my favorites! Love the mixing of stripes and polkadots!

We chatted with her mama Jacklynn and she had this to say about Hazel:

“Hazel dresses herself every day and she picked all these outfits out herself! She is very independent and sure of herself. I think that is how she gets away with looking so cute in the random outfits she puts together. She can put on a polka dot skirt with striped tights, and a flowered shirt and she thinks “I look good!” so everyone else does too!”

Hazel loves to play dress up and rainboots are her favorite footwear. (I love that!)

Sweet fancy moses, how cute is this kiddo?? [And I just know Dottie is going to flip for the name Hazel!!] This little lady loves to laugh and play outside. Her mama says that one of her favorite things is to play pretend with her little brother, Owen—mostly because she likes to boss him around! haha. She loves when her mommy reads to her and her best book is Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon. Of course her favorite activity is CRAFT TIME! (See Dottie? I knew you’d love this girlie….)

Jacklynn, thank you so much for sharing the adorable Miss Hazel with us!

Happy Friday friends! It’s time for the Weekly Kiddo—our little Street Style salut to the fashion blogs where we profile a very stylish reader-submitted kiddo. I’m especially excited because we have a really super cute kiddo this week! Meet Miss Macyn Hope Arpi. This little California girlie is two and a half years old and has a smile that could melt an ice berg! Her sweet mama Heather gave us some insight into her pretty name:

“I love last names for first names and masculine names for girls. We have good friends with the last name Mason, so I changed the spelling to “Macyn” to give it a feminine twist! WE chose “Hope” because in our journey to becoming her parents hope was a key element to our survival!  And “Arpi” because we adopted her from an Armenian family and this was the name they gave her at birth. We felt it was important to honor her heritage and include it in her full name.”

Let’s take a look at Macyn’s fun style….

+ vintage pink cardigan
+ vintage floral dress

+ Grey skinny jeans from Gap
+ Tank from H&M [“I appliquéd the bird on with some amazing vintage fabric that I bought at an auction in Iowa last summer!”]

+ Dress, Old Navy
+ Heart tights, Old Navy
+ Hoodie, thrift store

“In this picture Macyn is wearing one of my favorite thrift store finds of all times! I got these overalls for $1 and they fit her like a glove! Her sneaks are Converse.”

+ Liberty of London dressie, Target

+ Vintage “little star” tee that was her mama’s when she was a kiddo!

+ Cozy cable-knit sweater,  Nordstroms
+ Shirt, O’Neil
+ Tiered skirt, Old Navy
+ Sassy leg warmers, Babylegs
+ Blue star sneaks, Converse

How cute is this little girlie? I just love her sweet smile. You can almost hear her giggling can’t you?? Heather told us a little more about her little sassy pants:

“Macyn loves people!  She is full of life and loves to dance and sing. One of her favorite thing to do is hang out with her friends.  She also enjoyings reading books and playing with her dolls. She is still learning to walk and she loves to use the furniture to cruise around the house.  And of course one of her favorite activities is thrifting with her mamma! Macyn has down syndrome and with that comes a lots of love and joy. I can say that Macyn is really one of the most loving, joyful, sassy kiddos I know!”

Oh Heather, we believe it! I’m sure she just lights up the room! Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
