Jumpsuit Love

When I first started this blog in 2014, I declared it to be "the Summer of the Jumpsuit" because I threw on a Jumpsuit pretty much everyday. I still love Jumpsuits because of the effortless ease of wearing them and still believe that Jumpsuits should be a staple in every girls closet, regardless of age. I continue to see more and more Jumpsuit options every season. Jumpsuits are perfect for the summer and they look just as cute worn with a cozy sweater in the fall. Brands such as Bobo Choses and Nununu have cool Jumpsuits that are unisex and can be worn by a girl or a boy: I love gender neutral clothing! For these reasons (and many more) I love Jumpsuits and decided to once again share with you my favorite Jumpsuits for little ones. This Spring/Summer season the Jumpsuit Trends I most like are: bows; chambray; tassels; embroidery; ruffles; pretty prints; cozy knits; stripes; checks and unisex styles. Enjoy!

Mini Rodini Pre-AW18 Space Odyssey

Mini Rodin's new Pre-AW18 collection is called Space Odyssey and I LOVE it! This collection is made from 100% organic cotton and is fully GOT's certified, which I love, and the designs are quirky and fun as always. The prints include: a cute cat; personified-moons; spaceships; stars; and love hearts in a fun kid friendly color palette of primary colors. This collection is inspired by space, and as I have mentioned in a previous post, Mario is in the Astronomy Club at his school and is pretty much obsessed with everything outer space so this collection has all his favorites - now I just need to decide what to get him :-)

Met Gala 2018 - Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination

Today is the day I wait for all year, the Met Gala a.k.a. Fashion's biggest night - a charity fundraiser to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute and to celebrate its latest exhibition opening. The night is centered on the theme of the new exhibition and this years theme is Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination. 

Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination will feature 40 Vatican vestments and accessories from 15 papacies that have never left the Vatican's possession before shown alongside pieces by Coco Chanel, John Galliano, Cristóbal Balenciaga and Donatella Versace.

The Met Gala 2018 theme is said to be the Met's most controversial yet, due to fashion garments being shown alongside sacred artefacts. Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institutes curator in charge, said at a press conference in Rome: "Some might consider fashion to be an unfitting or unseemly medium by which to engage with ideas about the sacred or the divine, but dress is central to any discussion about religion... It affirms religious allegiances and, by extension, it asserts religious differences."

I have to admit, when I heard the theme I wondered how I would talk about the theme with Children's Trends. Then, I quickly realized that religious ceremonies have dress codes and the priest wears several different vestments at Mass, and each has a history and a prayer that is said as the priest puts it on - the ritual is centered around dressing and prayer. The Pope's vestments are of the finest silk with beautiful embroideries of gold thread and I think the Catholic Religion does influence ideas about dress which is why I decided to share First Communion dresses and suits, since the sacrament of First Communion is an important tradition for Catholic families and children. If you are not religious, like me, these girl's dresses and boy's suits are also modern and stunning for family weddings or parties. I am loving modesty in girl's dresses with fluted or flared sleeves, high necklines, ruffle or pleated collars, amazing lace, full gathered skirts and black or navy trim; for boy's suits I am loving thoughtful tailoring, modern & slim cut, chest pockets, single breasted and black or navy trim.

Mother's Day Mini Me

Mother's Day is next Sunday, May 13th and I am excited to spend the day with my boys, and yes, I'm already planning our coordinating outfits. I've spoken about my love for coordinating outfits and my love for unisex trends since starting this blog, so if you follow my blog you know how much I love unisex everything and love when Mario can be my Mini Me. The saying goes: "Twinning is Winning" and I couldn't agree more, which is why I think this Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to coordinate with your little ones - just like me & Mario will! 

There are several trends this Spring Season that can be worn by both genders so you and your little one can match one another in a cool, modern way. My favorite unisex trends for Mommy & Me are: graphic t-shirts; knit jumpsuits; track pants; button-down shirts and anything denim (I especially love denim shirts, denim overalls & denim jackets). The Mother & Daughter Mini Me trends that I am loving right now are: boho dresses; shirt dresses; off the shoulder & ruffled styles; tulle skirts; printed jumpsuits and hair accessories. Here are some of my favorite coordinating outfits for you and your little ones from Etsy - I'm on an Etsy kick right now, can you tell?

Whatever you wear this Mother's Day, enjoy your day with your little ones and make sure to hug & kiss them extra tight! 

XOXOXO, Petit-Swag
