Herschel Supply Co. Settlement Backpack in Lemon Drop for her and Silver Reflective Rubber for him

If your child looks for any excuse to get a new backpack, the Settlement Backpack by Herschel Supply Co. could be the one that ends his or her obsession for more. Its adorable designs are just one of its highlights. Straps are sturdy and adjustable, and the two-way zipper makes for easy opening on those long flights when they need to get crayons, books, games, snacks… You get the idea.

Stella McCartney Floral Denim Espadrilles

If your little fashionista likes to look good when strutting off to lunch or dinner, we’ve got just the shoe for her. These Floral Denim Espadrilles from Stella McCartney are just about the cutest pair we’ve seen this season. Easy to get on and off (Velcro, mamas!), with a denim upper and manmade sole, these will be her go-to shoes that she will love even after your trip.

If your little mama likes to be chic at the pool, we know this little Crochet Cover-up by Nightcap will delight her sense of style. Its pull-over styling makes getting dressed a snap, and its sweet enough to cover her tiny body as well. Best of all, it’s 100% cotton, so it’s washable. You’re welcome.

Stylish, playful and functional, this one-piece has straps for an easy-off (for the quick potty runs!) but will stay secure as your princess splashes about in the pool or at the beach.

Kenzo Kids Shorts

If getting your little champ to put on some nice looking pants is too much to handle, show him these cool shorts by Kenzo. The stylish pattern, 100% cotton fabric and slanted front pockets make this the perfect compromise for the both of you. Stylish enough for going out, but cool enough to wear to the beach, these are a win-win in our book!

Your little guy is always on the go, go, go, and sneakers are the only shoe you can even imagine him wearing. But is there a sneaker that’s both stylish and functional? You betcha. The High Visibility Sneaker by New Balance has a Velcro strap that’s easy to put on and take off (independence-builder!) and the suede upper comes in two very handsome, versatile colours.

Does your young mister have an eye for design? If so, this Graphic Tee by Kenzo Kids will be his new favourite! Super soft Jersey knit in 100% cotton, it’s easy to wash and comfortable for any time, any place, any day.
