Busy Bees For Chic Kids

As the sting of winter gradually begins to fade, a whole
host of springtime party opportunities and social occasions start to pop up
on the every-brightening horizon! As the sun starts to shine and the chill
begins to ease, a whole new wardrobe is in store for your most style-savvy
little ones. —%uFFFD

Take a leaf from many of the classic, Americana-inspired
designs for the spring season and outfit your budding fashionistas in
adorably demure frocks from Busy Bees. This sweet & savvy brand sprang from
the minds of two mothers–also fashion PR veterans–who truly understand the
delicate combination of youthful, but distinctly modern, children’s wear. We’re
loving the cap sleeve crab smock pocket dress! Perfect for the sweet transition
between seasons.
