Kids' Winter Dressing!
What an amazingly bright and sparkling season and one that allows kids in on the hottest trends in preparation for everything from outdoor activities, formal affairs and maybe just a cute snap for Insta! These looks will stand the test of time this entire winter season.
Here I share the details of my Today show segment with Hoda, Jenna and Maria Shriver, with the cutest little elves ever!
TREE FARM CASUAL
Some of the finest holiday moments are best casually attired, for example with our TREE FARM CASUAL siblings!
Model Caleb wearing Tree Farm Casual
For little brother Caleb, I love the chino on denim trend and this piece is sold entirely together—including top, bottom, suspenders and buffalo bowtie for a fantastic price! I love all in one dressing especially with a toddler as it makes life so much easier! And it’s always smart to consider sneakers for a toddler, especially if they are headed for fun outdoors.
Cat & Jack top and bottom set with bowtie, $15, target.com
Cat & Jack Harrison Sneaker, $19.99, target.com
Model Dylan wearing Tree Farm Casual
For older bro Dylan, lots of layers to keep him warm from Abercrombie Fitch Kids that he can add or subtract depending on the weather, including my favorite: an ombré puffer jacket with recycled fill and faux fur lining. Here’s a special highlight with his organic cotton hoodie by Winter Water Factory. Made in the USA with amazing silkscreened signature prints, this one called Winter Scenic featuring foxes, deer and bunnies, traversing a snowy landscape. Boots perfect for trekking the outdoors by Marshall’s for under $20.

The below groups were combined in the segment, Mod & Merry flanking on the outside, Suitable Separates in the middle!
Models from left to right: Rowan, Ana, Sophia and Victoria Emilia
MOD & MERRY
Since this season is typically over the top, sometimes streamlining a look makes you a standout! Here black-and-white and animal-print pairings never looked better.
For Rowan, even with all the festivities this time of year, his mandates are comfort and minimalism, and as a parent, I’m always thinking about repurposing. So we kept things streamlined with this sharp yet easy dressing, separates from Shein: I just really dig that stylish plaid coat—there’s room for a sweater under there for as an added layer--and with a little room to grow! Plus he can use the shirt and pants to play in his orchestra concert next week!
Both kids in Mod & Merry are wearing shoes from Marshall’s.

SUITABLE SEPARATES
Suits and separates are really hot right now! Separates in general are a great way to go if your kids are growing too fast for words…so you can find the right top and bottom to fit just right.
This tiered skirt with bronze button hardware, gives Ana all the twirl-power she needs in a vibrant teal hue! Her beautiful lace top—puffy sleeves are on trend!—and skirt are both made by a woman-owned business called Goldybelle and either handmade or high-quality small-batch production right here in the US.
Second from left Ana:
Teal Skirt from $38, goldybelle.com
Vintage Lace Blouse, $58, goldybelle.com
Grommet Boots, $19.99, marshalls.com
Milledeux headband and bows, from $11.50
Gosh, I love a suit on a girl and adore Sophia in this look! It’s sharp and oh-so girl-power while at the same time touching on rich burgundy hue and sweet elements: black tie-neck bow and lace to tie in with her sister. And it’s a 3-piece suit from Roco Clothing, so it just takes all the guesswork out of it for busy parents.
This is an example of how you don’t have to be super matchy-matchy with a sibling, still have your style personality show through and yet be perfectly paired.

Cara 3-piece Girl’s Burgundy Tuxedo, from $71, rococlothing.com
