As Michigan’s #1 children’s clothing boutique, we keep our eye on seasonal trends, and make sure our customers have a lot to choose from. This spring, we’ve seen some great trends we think kids will love. We feel like after long years cooped up due to the pandemic, kid’s fashion trends are showing up bright and beautiful, ready for activities, vacation, and time with friends. 

Iridescent

We’re loving the colorful, rainbow vibe from this season’s iridescent trend. We’re seeing it everywhere, and we are carrying a number of iridescent items. As a fabulous transitional piece from winter into spring, this military-inspired, zip-front jacket looks versatile over anything. It also comes in iridescent pink for girls who are pink at heart. For more glam, we also dig this iridescent-sequin, zip-front jacket. The sweet ruffle detail at the neck and wrist add soft feminine detailing. As an accent, or to dress head-to-toe iridescent, we recommend these bold lace-up sneakers. They make a statement, and we’re ready for it. 

Neon

Bright is back, and neon has come to play. We’ve seen neon everywhere this season. When thinking about spring break and summer vacation, we highly recommend the entire Stella Cove Swim & Beach Wear collection, because there’s something for every swimmer, but we especially love the ruffled, neon two piece in mix-matched colors, as well as this bold, side cut one piece. To carry the neon trend beyond the pool, we also have a number of ready-to-wear neons for the fashion-forward kid. We love these two Mayoral graphic tees for boys: a tiger-front neon tee and race cars with stripes. For girls, we love this chic top for girls.

Barbie

Barbie is timeless and always in style. However, we are excited to carry Tutu Du Monde x Barbie line for Spring 2022. This is a great collab of two girl-empowerment brands with a global message to be strong within ourselves and stronger “tutu-gether.” Inclusivity, unity, and kindness is at the heart of this playful, yet beautiful, collection. Empowering every girl takes some tulle and sparkle. We love this BARBIE GIRL Power Skirt, and thinks it pairs perfectly with the BARBIE Icon top with the BARBIE Let’s Play ruffled jacket slung over her shoulders. But don’t stop there. The accessories in this collection are to die for. We love the sparkling hair clip, fabulous collars and shrug, striped gloves, and wrist cuffs. And to set the whole look off (and to hold the lip gloss!) don’t miss the purse. Tutu Du Monde knows how to do accessories, and they’ve outdone themselves with their BARBIE collection accessories. 

Tie Dye

Tie Dye is still trending hot this spring. Honey Pie Kids is carrying tie dye from a few lines, and we’re seeing it sell quickly. This tie-dye set is another great transitional piece from winter into spring, and the beautiful colors blend well. The cute shoulder ruffles and striped cuffs set this look off. Another, brighter take on tie dye with more of an Easter vibe is this stylish crew-neck sweater. We love it, and think the Easter bunny will too. To take the tie-dye look to the beach this one-shoulder two piece highlights all the best colors with ruffles adding movement and interest. For a cozy go-to at the beach, school or sleepover, this soft, tie-dye hoodie is a versatile must-have. The textured bubbles, thumbholes and roomy pockets make this piece a definite “yes”. 

Honey Pie Kids is so excited about the bright colors and patterns featured in the kid’s fashion trends for Spring 2022. They are all fun and friendly, and transition well into summer. One or two will add some color to any kid’s wardrobe, but with these trends, we say “the more the better!” Come see us soon at the shop or shop online for best selection and the most sizes. 

Shade Critters®: A New Suit for Summer!

Honey Pie Kids is thrilled to now carry Shade Critters®—right in time for spring break and summer! Shade Critters® is a fabulous swimwear brand for girls, boys and toddlers. The swimsuits and trunks feature built-in SPF 50+ fabric for 98% blockage of harmful UV-rays. Honey Pie Kids loves the stylish features of these swimsuits. The details and patterns are to die for! We especially love leopard, and Shade Critters® has a few to choose from. The first is for the littlest swimmer in this two-piece leopard ruffle rash guard set. Trimmed with petite pink bobbles, this bathing baby will dress to impress! We’ve got leopard for the bigger girl too in the pink, one-piece leopard magic sequin swimsuit. Shade Critters® know kids grow, and many of their swimsuits have adjustable straps at the shoulders so they grow with your kids. Honey Pie Kids also carries a Shade Critters high-waist Dalmatian Leopard Bikini. The smocked top and puffed sleeves add fabulous style to an adorable suit. 

Honey Pie Kids, Michigan’s most fashionable children’s clothing boutique, also stocks Shade Critters®’ embellished girl’s swimsuits. They’re so cute. We love the one-piece tutu beach bunny swimsuit, and that it comes in infant and toddler sizing. The attached tulle skirt features a cotton tail in the back and adjustable shoulder straps. Another embellished swimsuit is the organza-sleeve butterfly swimsuit and tutu. The butterfly-printed tutu is detachable and easily slips on and off with an elastic waist. The skirt coordinates with the butterfly organza ruffle at the shoulder. The printed butterflies on this adjustable-strap one-piece makes every girl feel beautiful. Another fun embellished one-piece bathing suit is the pink flamingo swimsuit. The fabulous ruffles decorate the shoulders of a flamingo-printed one-piece. Honey Pie Kids carries this bathing suit in infant and toddler sizing. There’s nothing cuter. 

For the mermaid in your home, we recommend the one-shoulder, tie dye sequin bathing suit. Shade Critters® sells a coordinating mermaid skirt for the dedicated mermaid. This lovely suit glimmers and shimmers just the way they want it to. One of our favorite two-piece suits for the young bathing beauty is the high-waist purple palm swimsuit. Paired with a wide-brim straw hat, this bold suit makes a statement. 

We’re excited to offer Shade Critters® swimwear in store and online, don’t miss this fabulous collection of practical, yet highly stylish bathing suits. It is the perfect time to evaluate last-year’s swim suits. Not only to see if they fit, but to see if the sun or chlorine has aged or damaged any from last season. A well-loved suit will show wear and tear in the bum, and in the elastic around the legs. Shopping early for swimsuits for spring break and summer is a good idea. Not only does Honey Pie Kids sell out quickly, we sell out of the most popular sizes first. Make sure your kids are the cutest at the pool and the beach this summer, but checking out Shade Critters® at Honey Pie Kids. 

Mayoral: A Quality Brand for Every Day

“He who has a friend, has a treasure.”

The friendly mission statement of a family-owned children’s clothing brand founded in Spain has clothed kids with stylish fashion for the last 80 years. Honey Pie Kids has carried Mayoral since the beginning, and it is consistently one of our most popular brands. As Michigan’s #1 children’s clothing boutique, we carry high-end kid’s fashion providing families with high quality threads for every stage of childhood. Mayoral produces over 3,000 items each year created for what kids need inspired by current fashion trends with an emphasis on quality. 

Mayoral creates contemporary styles and unique designs. They feature exclusive fabrics for comfort and wearability. They recognize kids are super active, and design their clothes to move well and last long. Mayoral’s sizes run from 0-16, and HoneyPieKids carries their newborn (0-18 months), toddler (6-36 months), children (from 2 to 14 years).

Currently, HoneyPieKids has much of Mayoral’s winter collection on sale to make room for the new spring collection. We carry Mayoral’s infant and baby clothes for both baby boys and girls, Mayoral’s collection for toddlers, as well as dresses, pants and tops in kid’s sizes. We love Mayoral’s creative accents, soft fabrics, and high-quality details. Their garments look fabulous in family photos, but kids tend to grow out of them before the garment wears out. 

HoneyPieKids loves Mayoral because of the thought they put into seasonal and transitional clothing between seasons. Not only do they have warm winter jackets, but they have lighter, between-season jackets for the warmer, but not quite warm days. These pieces are especially handy in Michigan, and Mayoral ensures the seasonal transition is done with style. We also like the variety of their pieces and collections. They have snappy special occasion clothing, perfect for photographs, baptisms, and special events, as well as casual denim and every-day wear. Mayoral can dress a kid for all aspects of life for all of childhood. 

They have put thought into their organic EcoFriends collection, which can be found at Honey Pie Kids, featuring organic, sustainable, recycled fabrics. The fashion industry’s a whole, with its emphasis on quick and disposable fashion, puts a huge burden on the environment, and we appreciate Mayoral’s attention to sustainability. Not only the environment, but fair trade as well. Mayoral is part of the Ethical Training Initiative which protects and respects workers world wide. Because Mayoral is a world-wide company, their attention to the environment and the people who produce their clothing, is important, and Honey Pie Kids loves brands that are mindful of the earth and its people. 

If you haven’t already shopped Mayoral at HoneyPieKids either in store or online, you’re in for a treat. It is a fashionable, high-quality brand that lasts. Don’t miss what’s marked down in the shop and online, and get excited for the new spring line! HoneyPieKids loves dressing kids with the most fashionable clothing around, and we’ve found that with Mayoral. 

Valentine’s Day is a week away, and Honey Pie Kids is here for it! We celebrate in style, and LOVE being the best stop for the most fashionable children’s clothing in Michigan and online! Why not dress to the nines on Valentine’s Day, and host a fabulous Valentine’s party for all your favorite loves? We have a few ideas to make this party full of love. 

LOVEly Décor

A Valentine’s Day party could be one of the most fun to decorate for because white, pink and red are easy colors to find, and there are many options with theme. Check out the dollar store for crepe paper, streamers and circular paper fans that fold out. Add a few glitter hearts and some balloons, and you’re set. Adding some fresh flowers is easy too, because the common, but reliable, carnations in red, pink and white add some frill and beauty to the table without the cost. And carnations last a few weeks, so you’ll have fresh flowers to enjoy later. To add some volume and fluff to a table setting, a lightweight tulle or mesh gives a beautiful, ethereal feel. Valentine’s Day decorations can go light hearted and fun, light and romantic, or bright and modern. Go with what catches your eye and run with it! If you get stuck, even picking one color, and decorating with different shades makes for a great overall effect. 

Sweet Games

Valentine’s Day game are fun. Conversation hearts make for a fun game of bingo, and there are many free printable bingo cards online. Life-size tick-tac-toe is made easy with an oversized masking-tape (in pink!) criss cross taped on the wall, and small mylar balloons in Xs and Os make for a competitive game of an old favorite. Quick thinking games are always popular with kids, and any time they have to race the clock or other teams the competitive juices will start to flow. Scooping conversation hearts from one cup into another cup only using one hand and a flimsy plastic spoon is a game kids will love. Make an air popper out of a plastic cup and latex balloon, and “pop” conversation hearts into paper cups set up at the end of the table. Label the cups with different points and see who wins! Kids are easy to please, and even a simple game or two will go a long way. 

Heart-Warming Food & Drink

Food for a Valentine’s Party tends towards sweet. To start off with something nutritious heart-shaped anything will go quickly. A kid-themed charcuterie board with heart-shaped cheese and turkey adds a novel twist to an otherwise everyday food. Strawberries cut in the shape of hearts on skewers with banana slices or heart shaped watermelon bites makes an easy option to grab and not share germs. When it’s time for something sweet another board with some sweet snacks will be easy to come by. Red, pink and white m&ms are always a hit, and there are so many candies and Valentine’s Day cookies that will fill out the board. Even a fun mix of teddy graham cookies, mini marshmallows, and m&ms would be easy and fun to serve out of paper cups. 

Hosting a Valentine’s Day party for the ones you love is easy and fun, and of course always celebrated best in something from Honey Pie Kids. We love our Sweet Wink Magical Rainbow Tutu, and of course anything from Tutu Du Monde is perfecto (we love this dress!) for a Valentine’s Party with friends! Happy Heart’s Day from your friends at Honey Pie Kids. 

One of Honey Pie Kids’ most-loved and best-selling brand is Tutu Du Monde. As Michigan’s #1 designer-brand clothing boutique for kids, we carry incredible brands, and we love highlighting our brands so you, our customers know what you’re buying, and why each brand is so special and unique.
