What's Cool: H&M Kids Spring Line

H&M Spring Kids Event

I have always been a big fan of H&M. The boys always do well in the boys' department and I am super picky, but I can always find an outfit for a night out or a professional suit for work.  This past weekend we were invited to check out H&M Times Square for the launch of their Spring kids line hosted by my gal Brianne of Stroller in the City. Boy was I impressed with the huge store, the staff and of course, the kidswear. From fun graphic tees to a denim vest/hoodie combination that Tyler wanted to wear all day, we shopped till we dropped! If you have kids that hate to tie their shoes - like mine - H&M carries these sneakers with mock shoelaces that just zip up - I think I buy them every year! The event was so fun, from a great MC who got the kids dancing and walking the runway, to face painting, balloon-making, great food and music, we all had a ball! You've gotta check out H&M for your Spring shopping.  Are your kids ready for Spring yet?

Tristin + Tyler's Threads: Ruff & Huddle

icelondon3

Spring is on the way boys and galz and we are SO ready over here at T&T headquarters! We've hooked up with some awesome brands to showcase cool-kid Spring style on the blog, and one of our new faves is London-based brand Ruff and Huddle. We rocked Ruff and Huddle on the petitePARADE Kids Fashion Week stage as we hosted the shows and we received so many awesome compliments on these London Jackets! We ADORE them! They look cool completely closed, as T&T have them with a little accessory like a scarf or sunglasses, or open with a funky tee. You've gotta check them out for your little. On our way home from Kids Fashion Week we saw this awesome ice formation and we knew it would melt soon (wishful thinking!), so we jumped out of the car to take a few pix. Isn't the ice awesome? Make sure to check out Ruff and Huddle here and let me know whatcha think! xx

Tristin + Tyler's Threads: petitePARADE Outfit #2

SONY DSC

We're recapping the awesome brands Tristin + Tyler rocked while hosting petitePARADE last weekend. They wore a total of three outfits on stage. If you missed outfit #1, check it out here. For look #2, we changed the boys' style up a bit.  Tyler had a skater-boy look going on while Tristin looked a like a little foreigner with his cool hat and polka dot Dr. Martens.  Tyler is rocking Munster Kids which we picked up from our fave NYC kids shop Babesta.  Munster is a brand from Australia and I love how their clothes are all about comfort (which is what boys really care about) with a little bit of edge. Tyler's shorts have a reptile pattern, but they are super soft. Tristin is rocking Loud Apparel again - we are so falling in love with that brand. Loud uses black, whites and grey to make real statement pieces, it's amazing. His tee says "one day I'll grow up." So cute!

What do you think of these outfits?  Do you think dressing kids in different styles is cool, or do your kiddos always match? Stay tuned for our full petitePARADE recap, and the cool brands they wore for outfit #3.

Tristin + Tyler's Threads: petitePARADE Outfit #1

SONY DSC

Tristin + Tyler hosted their second season of Kids Fashion Week!!  It was super exciting for them (and me!). I am big fan of kids being little entrepreneurs and encouraging them to try different things to see what they love to do. petitePARADE Kids Fashion Week is always an awesome experience the boyz and so many other kids because you get a chance to check out kids expressing themselves. From the stunning models, to petite fahsionistas sitting front row and even a kid photographer, this year we didn't just enjoy the garments - the kids rocked. 

Now, on with the style! Tristin + Tyler had three (yes, three) outfit changes as they hosted. I sourced from a ton of diferent places, and my sister Elena - who is a fashion executive - helped put the looks together. We went outside the U.S. and worked with some really cool brands you might not know yet -- you're welcome!

LOVING these this super-comfy clothes by Loud Apparel. Loud is based in London, but because the creator is Italian, there is a mix of both a London + Italian flair in all of their pices. The best part? The boys were so comfortable as they memorized their lines, meeted and greeted people in a busy child and photograher filled, backstage.

The boots? Oh, the boots. How we love thee. I mean really, there isn't much to say about how awesome these boots are, just look at them! And if we know Dr. Martens, we know they are durable.

Have you heard of Brian Lichtenberg? He is huge with celebrities for his gear and accessories that mock famous clothing brands. Tristin rocked this gold and black "Homies" tee --  a play off of the brand Hermes. I love how the gold matched his glasses. It looks great on stage.

The brown boots? Of course! Dr. Martens. Oh, did you notice the boys HATE to tie their shoes! Ahhh! Drives me nuts, but looks cute, huh?

Stay tuned for a recap of our favorite looks from Kids Fashion Week and a rundown of outfits 2 and 3 tomorrow.

What's Cool: Tristin + Tyler Rock the Kids Food Festival!

SONY DSC

This past weekend the boys cooked a fruit-topped, healthy snack for kids during their live (yes, live!) demonstration at the Kids Food Festival called SNACK ATTACK: Fun Snacks for Kids, By Kids. You know those times when your kid is SO hungry after school that you have to have a snack prepared, or you send them to an afterschool program with an extra snack? Well that's what their demo was all about -- teaching kids how to make a healthy snack right after school with little to no help from parents!  It was so great to watch the boys have fun on stage, teach kids about cooking and eating healthy and actually see festival-goers love what the boys made!

Tristin + Tyler made mini waffle bites topped with fruit and a drizzle of honey. What I love most about this recipe is that it's super easy, and kids can add whatever fruit they want! Want to try it? Here's the recipe:

Ingridients:  Frozen mini waffle bites + Fruit of Choice + Honey

Instructions:

Toast the mini waffles in a toaster

Use kid-friendly knife to chop fruit (we used: mangos, bananas and strawberries)

Top toasted waffle with chopped fruit

Drizzle honey on top!

Will you try this easy recipe? It's a great intro to cooking recipe! Do your kids cook? Check out the rest of the photos from the event below.
