Baby and Kids Swimwear for Memorial Day Weekend and Beyond

What’s a better way to kick of summer than a fun-filled day at the beach? You’d first need your necessities, however, to make the trip complete; your favorite pair of sunglasses, a big brimmed hat… and an awesome bathing suit, duh! Luckily for you, Estella has you frolicking-in-the-sand ready with the best swimwear for baby and toddler girls and boys.

1. & 2. New at Estella is Stella Cove, a line of elegant (but fun, too) swimwear for baby and toddler girls that features distinctive patterns that range from classic floral to retro-inspired. Whether she likes to show some skin or likes a little more coverage, there’s something for everyone with the adorable bikini style or the classic one-piece style. View Stella Cove’s collection here.

3. Okkies is one of the leading makers of cool boy’s clothing, so it would only make sense that their       swimwear would be equally as great. Case in point: these awesome Okkies swim trunks are in a flattering cut with cool lime green and grey vertical stripes. Sure to make a splash at any pool.

Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend!

Summer Must-Haves; Album di Famiglia’s Sweatshirt Cardigan

The season’s best coverup comes in the softest cotton, like your favorite worn in sweater, and in a crisp white to deflect light and heat. Album di Famiglia’s Kid’s Sweatshirt cardigan not only looks great with a pair of jeans or over a cute dress, but it also makes an amazing beach cover-up with its hood for added sun protection coverage. Note the adorable tie at the waist and “unfinished” hems! 

Available for Baby and Kids.

Here Comes the Sun; Baby and Kids Summer Hats

What’s an simple way to stay cool this summer without sacrificing outdoor fun? The answer is easy when some of our favorite designers have created fun baby and kids hats just in time for the sun and warmth. Album di Famiglia’s “Caterina” Sun hat, made of a lightweight cotton poplin, were such a hit last Summer that we brought it back in the same easy-to-pair solids and this adorable polka dot print. Bon Bon’s bohemian-chic floppy brim girl’s hats are also making a comeback this year in new floral prints from Liberty of London. So put on your hat, lather on some SPF and catch some rays!
