Are you gearing up to celebrate a little one’s birthday? In general, my favorite brand for occasions like birthdays, Baptisms, and the like is Luli and Me — absolutely stunning pieces that you’ll want to pass down to cousins, siblings, grand-children, or maybe just frame in your child’s closet. Show-stopping, heirloom quality pieces with just the right amount of detail and restraint. My heart stops for sets like this and this. Bellabliss’s just-launched heirloom collection strikes a similar tone — I specifically adore this collared romper for a baby boy on his first birthday. I have also had very good luck buying special occasion pieces for mini at Sal E Pimenta — items like this dress are beyond for a spring birthday; I actually bought mini this one for her upcoming fourth birthday!
However, it’s also fun to snag outfits with a deliberate birthday theme — candles, cake, balloons! — and so I’m sharing a couple of precious birthday outfits for toddlers and young children below…

PROPER PEONY ALWAYS DOES THE BEST (ALSO LOVE THIS) — I’VE BOUGHT SIMILAR STYLES FROM THIS BRAND THE LAST TWO YEARS!
