Greetings from Salt Lake City! Dottie and I are having a simply amazing time here at ALT (that’s Altitude Design Summit). Yesterday was filled with boat loads of seminars, chit chatting and skipping around networking. The big excitement around these parts were the lunch time guest speakers: Seth Aaron and Mondo from Project Runway. It was such a thrill to meet those guys! I totally love me some Project Runway. I am pleased to report I had not one, not two…but THREE spectacular Mondo moments. I’ll leave them as a little cliff hanger to our ALT recap next week! Suffice to say he is super sweet and cool and cute. I was a fan before and I’m an even bigger one now!

Speaking of fashion…let’s get movin’. It’s time for our Weekly Kiddo! Every Friday we do a little Street Style salut to the fashion blogs with a profile of a very stylish kiddo. This week we have Miss Sunny! You guys are gonna love her, lemme tell ya. Her mama Lisa has a great sense of style (she runs the Etsy vintage shop Secondhand Love Kids). Take a gander at this girlie:

+ vintage rickrack dress secondhandlovekids

+ vintage retro dress secondhandlovekids

+ vintage floral top, Honeybrownvintage
+ jeans Cotton On Kids

Um, the temporary tattoo? Yeah, I love this little diva. Her mama Lisa tells us that most of Sunny’s clothes are thrifted, eBay bargains & a few special pieces from their favorite etsy kids designers —especially Devon Rose, Tiny Happy & Lucy’s Place.

+ vintage floral vest secondhandlovekids
+ tank Cotton On Kids

+ flower field cami by DevonRose
+ butterfly wings made by mum

+ vintage folk top sianuskavintage
+ denim shorts thrifted

How adorable is this sweet little thang?? The beautiful Miss Sunny is three years old and she loves, loves, loves puppies. She also really enjoys ballet and can often be found dancing around the house…when she isn’t showing off her other favorite hobby: TALKING! This cute girlie loves riding around on her scooter and helping her Poppy in his workshop. When it comes to favorite foods, strawberries are tops in Sunny’s book. Lisa told me the cutest thing, “Sunny is such a sweet little girl. Her little smile (missing tooth and all) makes my heart pitter pat. She’s Kiddo of every Week to me!” I love that!

THANK YOU lisa for sharing this sweet little lady with us!

Have an awesome weekend everyone….we’ll be coming back next week with a full report on our jaunt to ALT!

Happpppy Friday my friends! It’s the end of the week and you know what that means—time for another Weekly Kiddo! This is our little nod to the street style of fashion blogs, where we show off an especially cool kiddo with great style. This week we have an awesome young lad of three, Mr. Jack Hazard! This dapper little gent has style in spades….I think you’ll love him!

Jack’s super sweet mama, Mary Catherine says, “We love vintage, and costume wear for everyday.  Jack’s raccoon hat is a treasured accessory, and one we found on a road trip to John Wayne’s boyhood home!”

Jack loves to wear bowties!  Which is a treat for his similarly inclined mama.

STYLIN’! Hee hee. Check out this shades!

Aw, Jack Hazard rockin’ the John John with his little converse. I love it!

How awesome is this little fella? We talked to Jack Hazard’s super mama who told us that he loves worms, tea parties, cooking with his mom, big hugs and boats. He likes to read his favorite books to their cat, Archie Snowpants, who is a pretty good sport about this.  He best friends are Worm Baby (a puppet) and Laundry (a little bear.)  His mother would like to point out that both were named by Jack! Young Jack Hazard is a musical boy and he knows all the words to “No Children” by The Mountain Goats, and “The Battlehymn of the Republic”.

I asked his mama if there was a story behind his cool name and this is what she said:

“Oliver Hazard Perry was a naval commander in the war of 1812, and he was incredibly brave, loyal and lucky.  Just the kind of man I want my boy looking up to! It’s kind of a sappy little story for such a rakish name, but I love it. I’ve always been crazy for history!”

Mary Catherine, I love it too! Thank you so much for sharing your sweet little guy with us. Be sure to stop by Mary Catherine’s blog, Spilled Milk/Broken Bread and say hi!

I’m so excited about this weeks kiddo, my friends. We have our very first little style maven glasses! And this cutie patootie is sportin’ the most rockin’ pair of spex you’ve ever seen! Meet the fabulously, adorable Wren. Her mama Mari is an ex toy designer (and a great pal of Modern Kiddo!). She runs the awesome blog, Small for Big and is always showcasing really fun, cool stuff. Wren is a sassy two year old with moxie to spare! Take a gander, peeps:

+ glasses – Bbkids, from the Glasses Menagerie
+ pom pom hat – Handknit by her momma! (pattern available on here)
+ coat – Kate Quinn Organics, from lili picked
+ flannel plaid shirt – Fleet Farm
+ red t-shirt – Interesting story. It’s a sample brought back from Paris by a coworker on a trend research trip several years ago. Mari got it when the woman cleaned out her office (score!)
+ cords – Old Navy
+ shoes – Livie & Luca, from Hautelook

Seriously now….HOW CUTE ARE THOSE LITTLE GLASSES??? I love this girl! Her style is very boho chic….like, in a few years I can imagine her modeling for Anthropologie , am I right??
+ glasses – zoobugs, from The Glasses Menagerie
+ dress – Kate Quinn Organics, from Lilipicked

Wren is a rambunctious, artistic, independent little sass. She loves kitties, coloring with her colored pencils, and putting stickers on everything. For some strange reason she calls every single one of her crayons pink (which has stunned and slightly dismayed her momma!).

But she also drops everything and runs to the back window to watch the Choo Choo Trainsacross the field from our backyard. She has an innate talent for modern interpretive dance with props—large kitchen spoons paired with Vampire Weekend and the classic 1970s Sesame Street album “In Harmony” are her current faves! (I die….) She is also a pro at running away from her parents in parking lots. First thing each morning you’ll find her sitting quietly with perfect posture on the sofa, her favorite picture book of the moment (or Daddy’s C++ manual) flipped open in her lap.

Thank you Mari for sharing your crazy cute little sweetie with us!

After a two week hiatus, I’m pleased to report that the Weekly Kiddo is BACK! And wait til you see the little fashion diva we have for you today. The beautiful Miss Serenity has style galore! Her mama Angie is very artistic and runs a fun blog called Treasures for Tots! She is also the family photographer and took all these fabulous shots. Her mama dresses her in a stylish combination of vintage, Etsy finds and handmade goodness. Seriously you’re going to love this little one! So lets just get right too it….the fabulous Serenity!

Holy smokes I love this upcycled dress. Found via ChoosyChu. Ruffled leggings from Tag-You-R-It.

This awesome vintage jacket is from Modern Kiddo fave, 3 Ring Circus! Adorable up-cycled pants (they have a great bottom trim!) from CourtneyCourtney. Organic tee with original silkscreen from Wren Willow.

This amazing dress is from Etsy seller courtneycourtney. Angela is a big fan of this line, and i can see why:

“I guess what I like the most is all the attention to details and the creativity Courtney pours into each piece she makes. In my opinion, that’s what makes her dresses top quality. Each dress is different – no two are alike! No other little girl, in the world, will have a dress just like Serenity – it’s totally hers! How awesome is that?! As you can tell, I’m blown away by that fact! Not only does Courtney mix and match all kinds of fabrics and prints, but she does her own silkscreen designs and painting too! Awesome Artwear!”

I agree Angela. These are totally adorable—of course it helps that Serenity is so stunning. I suspect this child would look good in a potato sack! Let’s look at some more amazing Serenity sportin’ the courtneycourtney goodness:

Amazing! The headband? The dressie? I love it all! The necklace is a fairy catcher from Grow With Me Gifts.

Her mama says she’s definitely a girlie girl but she is also a spunky little cutie and loves to rock sassy little leggings like these. Angela says that this looks is also a great way to get a little extra mileage out of favorite dressies, and I totally agree!

Are you dying??? How stylish and funky is this little one? And don’t get me started on the AMAZING hair. By the way, those fun bracelets were made my Angela herself. They are Squinkies, cute lil eensey weensy squishy figurines that come in small globes. Angela has a fun tutorial for making these bangles right on her blog.

Miss Serenity is a little light. She loves to laugh and play and is a big nature lover. You can often find her planting flowers and seeds with her mama or chasing fairies. Being a true modern kiddo, little Serenity is also a tech wiz and loves to play on her mama’s iPad! We just can’t get enough of her.

Angie, thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous little girl with us!
