Mini Me Look for [Imaginary] Apple Picking in Julian

This is how I would dress Parker if we were apple picking this year. Unfortunately, that won't be happening since all the orchards are closed for the season due to the terrible drought that is wrecking havoc on California's agricultural industry. It's so sad that Julian's orchards are closed during their peak tourist season. We had so much fun last year (see photos here) and I have no doubt Parker would have really enjoyed going again this year. See you next season, Julian!

Mini Outfit for a Rainy Day

Rain, rain come our way.
We need you in California today.

Seriously, though. We really need some rain and Parker really needs these rain boots.

Mini Me Look Inspired by a Hawaiian Shirt

Last summer my MIL bought Parker a whole bunch of Hawaiian shirts and my reaction was, "Uhhhh...how do I style these?!" Well Mamas, now I know. I love the rolled sleeves and the slightly throwback look that this handsome fella is rocking. Get the look below. 

PS

Today is the last day of swim class! No more chlorine hair until the end of the month. Woo hoo!

Mini Me Look Inspired by Bruno Mars

I'm loving the boat shoes and nautical striped shirt on Bruno Mars in this photo for GQ. Let's be honest, he would probably look amazing in any outfit but this one translates into a effortlessly stylish mini me look that is perfect for summer.

Mini Me Look - Aztec Tank

Summer is officially here. We are noshing on strawberries and going to the park at 7 PM. You know what that means? Suns out guns out. You. Are. Welcome. Here's a fun and comfy look that's perfect for a cool kid play date.

PS It was nearly impossible to find a aztec print toddler tank. Don't they know that boys can wear things that don't have stripes on them? Sames goes for the baby boy espadrilles. Sheesh.

 

UPDATE:

 

I just stumbled upon the StrawberryMoth shop on etsy and she sells these great geo print tanks for kids. Here other stuff is pretty great too.

Some people, like the two men below, have swag that comes so naturally. Here's an easy outfit for baby that copies their dressy/casual look. Is the vest too much like Mr. Schu?

Mini Me Look - Scotch & Soda

It's been a while since I've put one of these mini me looks together. To be honest, a lot of what I am been seeing in kids fashion lately has been uninspiring. However, there is something about this look titled "Striped Souvenirs" from Soda & Scotch's Amsterdam Blauw FW13 collection that begs to re created. I'm calling it "hobo fisherman chic". Perfect for this weird mix of winter and summer we are currently experiencing in socal.

Mini Me Look - Olive Coat

Happy Monday, Mamas! I'm sooo excited that this is a short week. We had our first Thanksgiving last night with my family in Orange County and I'm still sleepy from my food coma. This weekend was super productive. Tuan and Minh got the fish tank up and running and we are going to be able to add hermit crabs and shrimp by the end of the week! Woo hoo. Tuan and I also did three mini holiday sessions before the Thanksgiving party and I can't wait to look at all the photos tonight.

Let's get to the fashion now, shall we? I found this handsome man in River Island gear on the I Am Galla blog. Hope you enjoy today's mini me look!

You know what we need more of? Babies in suits. It's an instant way to make your regular baby a dapper baby. Surprisingly there are very few well made suits for baby boys. Thank goodness for Zara! Enjoy this black tie mini me look that would brighten up any holiday photo.

Plaid is so trendy right now and I like the green/blue combo as a quieter alternative to the ever present red plaid that seems to fill the shelves during the holidays. Woo hoo for tiny plaid pants!

Mini Me Look - Inspired by J Crew Mens Fall 2013 Lookbook

There are some colors that only look good when you wear them in the Fall. Case in point: mustard yellow. I love this casual look from the 2013 J Crew Mens Lookbook.

 

 

And now the mini me look.
