All about Pretend Kids

All about Eve is quite the little fashionista. I may be borrowing a few of her outfits to make for myself. I mean, she wears boots with the perfect balance of attitude and sassy.

Pretend Kid with great shoes

I may have blogged about Misha Lulu before but this latest collection has me saving my pennies and searching the internet for cool vintage shoes for my someday girl. love the playfulness of these girls. Girlie and yet still ready to climb trees and get dirty.

Pretend Kids - mine and Kate

I absolutely love Soft Gallery. So lovely and whimsical and yet chic and pure fashion. The photos of their pieces are just gorgeous as well. I imagine my baby to be a little more rough and tumble with twigs and glue in their hair on a daily basis but I have no doubt my super model friend Kate's children will be just this eloquently stylish. And the video on the front page is absolutely calming and zone inducing. Makes me wanna copy copy copy and make my own.



Love this little boy.

I could see my husband in those pants and shoes. So, I will not be surprised my our child dons the same look.





This is how I wish I was posing in most photos as an adult.

Pretend Kids - not for long

Zara has a kids section! So stylishly adorable. I want it all. I am so excited to have my very own doll. hehehe my luck I will have a little rebel kid who will dress them selves from the start. That will be super fun too.




I want those blue tights for myself.

Pretend Kids walk it out

Sometimes I think I am a big child. When I see shoes like this I wish I was a tiny child. Little Fashion Gallery will definitely be getting some money from me when I have little feet to fill these shoes.

Live Action Pretend Kid

Yes. This will be my little boy.

Pretend kid all growns up

I have a complete obsessed love with Bri Emery of DesignLoveFest. I seriously don't think I can live with out her. In Thailand when I could grab a sliver of internet service I was checking out her blog so I wouldn't miss anything. She is crazy talented, stylish and gorgeous/adorable. She inspires me to the point that if I ever meet her ( which could happen) I have no doubt I would get all jammed up as if I was meeting a big time hollywood movie star.
Today I realized that it is too late to be her but boy oh boy I would take her as my kid. So Bri is my first pretend kid all growns up.










Most of these shots are from Bri's new sweet video about her scarves. See it here.

Cover the Walls

No matter what I can not let the thought of having children someday (maybe sooner than later) leave my head. When Potsch and I were in Thailand I kept trying to buy all these handmade stuff animals for our someday baby. I did get one and it is rad. A little creepy but rad. And now I find myself slowly creating a collection of wall art to hang in a room that we don't have. But I can't help it. I want to fill this life with so much love and thought and design and color. I don't want to just rush out to Walmart and pack the room with all "Baby" stuff. I want it all to be special and have special meaning. This is not to say that there won't be things and moments that just happen. And there wont be things and moments that develop their specialness down the line. I guess I am just over flowing with love for this child that is still just floating out in the universe waiting for its perfect time. I am learning to trust time and life a bit more. And maybe my slow collection is helping me with my patience. So bring on the help Small talk Studio.

My mexican granny

If I had a little girl I think I would dress her like either an art gallery show hobo or a little Mexican granny. More on the hobo at some other point. The Mexican granny would have her closet furnished easily by Pink Chicken Show.

Pretend kids to dream about

I am getting on the plane for a 22 hr trip to Thailand!!! But before I leave I wanted to pack my mind full of dreamy things - kids! Ha. How absolutely adorable are these little girls?! From here.

Ps- I am posting this from the plane on my iPad. Amazing!!!!

Pretend kids - brother and sister

Adore. I adore these two. I see them as brother and sister. The coolest brother and sister around.
From here.

Pretend kid - baby model

It has come to my attention that I am lacking in the pretend kid Boy versions. This is not because I do not want a boy but because I am so in love with my little brothers that no little boys in all the world can compare to their adorableness power. I will have to scan in a few shots of Tommy and Buster some time for you. But trust me - I know it's cause they are my family - but they are not only sweet little boys they have also grown into hot young men. Yes, that sounds creepy but I lie not.
So, point of post, Pretend Boy Kids! Here are a lovely bunch that I find pretend worthy. All from the lovely french webmag Milk Magazine.


I am obsessed with this tiny little shot caller. He is on the cell phone! In White Shorts! killing me
I know my kids will so used to having a camera in their face that they will probably become celebrities cause they are used to the Paparazzi flashes.

I mean is it a surprise that this boy is french? It would make sense that he would be mine since as I have told you before my mom was obsessed with making me her little french girl. So, yes. This would be my little french son.
How freakin' adorable is this little fashionista boy. Already a heart breaker. here.

Pretend Kids - getting older

Love this little girl. She is sassy and sweet. And her glasses are rad.
ZARA.

Pretend kid head to toes

I am in love with this sweet one. I know it's not good to read on the pot but this is too cute. Look at those sweet little toes. How are they not falling in?

Oh please pretend no more

These are my pretend kids. They are stunning children that I find online and pretend in my mind that they are mine and that it was my idea to dress them in stunning kid style. As I get closer and closer to starting my own family I seem to fall more and more in love with my pretend kids.
How can you not with these beauties from Caramel Baby & Child.
