It’s holiday season and finding something pretty fabulous (and UNIQUE!) to wear for all the festivities can be totally over whelming. So I’m teaming up with the cute Tantrum girls to have a fabulous vintage pop up THIS THURSDAY! C’mon down to the store and browse all the lovely goodies we’re going to have. Tons of fancy dresses and coats and some stylish duds for the fellas too—like dress shirts and cool ties. Aw yeah! Hope to see you there!!
I was browsing Gilt the other day and was so excited to see the “My Roots” poster collection from Children Inspire Design. This is a super cool product line of modern, eco-friendly posters and wall art, designed to help children learn “compassion for the earth and all who inhabit it.”
You can use the “World Roots” maps to commemorate your family or child’s heritage by Country or Continent. There is even a version by state. Each map comes with heart stickers to customize even further. SO COOL! With the holidays coming up, these posters would make such a neat gift. They’re normally $40-50 but with the Gilt sale, you can now scoop them up for $25. Not too shabby. Find it in the Baby & Kids section. The “My Roots” sale ends Sunday night, so pop over asap!

Hi hi hi! Happy Friday friends! Today we have a totally rad giveaway coming to you from our super sweet pal Anita and her fella Sam Means. This enterprising duo recently started Hi for Kids as a companion to their already successful company Hello Merch. Some of you may recognize their adorable daughter Lola as a Weekly Kiddo last year! (And music fans might recognize papa Sam from the cool band The Format.)
This super creative couple started Hi by Hello after stylish mama Anita kept wishing she could find cool-and-comfy clothing for their daughter Lola Birdie. The line features hip lil’ leggings and tees with groovy designs that are perfect for girls OR boys!
OK, so now that you’re loving this adorable line as much as we do, let me make you even happier by saying that Hi for Kids has generously offered a $50 Gift Certificate for Modern Kiddo to give away! Whoo hoo! Whatever will you buy if you win?? Hmmm. Here are some ideas! Right now we’re totally loving:
These are so cute—I especially love the lightning bolts. Each cape comes with a mask and would make an awesome holiday gift!
2. MATCHING DADDY & ME (OR MOMMY & ME) PULLOVERS!
This is an adorable idea for grandma to get for your little one—a sweet “HI!” pullover and a matching “HELLO!” one for mama or daddy! The shirts are SUPER soft and cuddly.
These are my two favorites—they’d look cool as comfy leggings with a tee or the pullover OR paired with a cute dress on a lil girlie.
OK, so let’s get to it. To enter to win the $50 Gift Certificate :

Today’s little cutie is Maude and her Mama writes an incredibly charming blog called Knee High to a Ladybug! Maude is almost two years old but that doesn’t mean she is short on style!
Maude’s signature style is courtesy of church bazaars for some sweet vintage finds, a few finds of designer duds on super sale, and a nice sprinkling of home-made fashion goodness! Her mama’s bit of shopping advice is to buy it if you love it, even if it is in a bigger size!
I love this vintage find which Maude is wearing nicely with different new pieces.
Well done!
According to her mama, this little lady rarely sits still. She loves animals, things with pockets and music. And now that Maude has learned how to jump, her mama see that making it to the top of the list very soon! If you are a fruit, Maude will be happy to eat you, otherwise things might get a little hairy.
Aww, what a cutie! And what a great big sister you’ll be, Miss Maude!
RIGHT ON, MAUDE!
