The Latest Trends In Kids Fashion, Fun & Lifestyle Blog

Ryley + Cru is a wonderful children’s clothing brand with three distinct lines: Ryley + Cru, Quincy May and Noralee. Honey Pie Kids is proud to carry this brand, not only because the clothes are stylish and modern, perfect for the well-dressed kid, but because the company itself is built on unwavering standards of quality and thought towards environmental impact, as well a generous spirit through substantial giving. 

Ryley + Cru is a brand designed and managed by a husband and wife team. Its signature look features beautiful, muted tones, soft, high-quality basics, and simple, modern prints. All three lines feature a different aspect of kid’s fashion, yet parents can count on Ryley + Cru, Noralee, and Quincy Mae all delivering on quality, wearability and longevity. 

Rylee + Cru

Rylee + Cru merges art and imagination in a collection of modern, muted clothes for kids. Each piece is made to be comfortable, easy for play and longevity. Many children’s clothing brands are flashy, sparkly, and showy, but Rylee + Cru features a sophisticatedly understated look. The muted brown, cream, and rust color palate isn’t common in children’s clothing, but it works well, and offers parents an alternative to fast, cheap fashion. Honey Pie Kids offers a selection of Rylee + Cru dresses, swimwear, separates, and accessories for girls, boys and babies. 

Noralee

Noralee is the dressier Rylee + Cru line. It features gorgeous dresses and suits with beautiful detailing. This line is perfect for summer weddings, special occasions, but is not so precious that it can’t be worn every day. Each piece is thoughtful and simple, but not stuffy or flashy, and gives a vintage feel through the layered, soft hues and textures. The accessories pair perfectly with the coordinating pieces. 

Quincy Mae

Quincy Mae is a collection of beautiful, organic baby basics in earthy colors and subtle prints. These will become go-to choices for baby because of the soft fabric and thoughtful design. The collection features coordinating bamboo swaddle blankets, hats, bodysuits and matching sets. 

Sustainability

Rylee + Cru takes its sourcing and sustainability seriously across all three brands. They have built their team to ensure fair wages and safe working environments. They work exclusively with WRAP factories, guaranteeing their products are made responsibly. They have built personal relationships with their overseas partners to maintain their high standards. All of their fabrics are sustainably and ethically made from natural fibers and dyes. They are free from chemicals, pesticides and all the yucky stuff we don’t want our kids to wear.

Generous Giving

Rylee + Cru are serious about giving back, and use their brand to promote good on the local and national level, giving generously to the less fortunate. The business is build on “philanthro-capitalism” meaning business has the ability, and responsibility, to create support and financial resources for those in need. As a company, they’ve given hundreds of thousands of dollars to many organizations. 

Honey Pie Kids is proud to sell this amazing brand. Rylee + Cru embodies the best of children’s clothing, and if you haven’t already discovered this heart-fueled, sophisticated and modern brand, shop online or in store today. 

Kids Boutique Brand Spotlight: Abel & Lula Girls

HoneyPieKids is excited to introduce you to Abel & Lula, a chic children’s clothing brand carried at our boutique. This distinctive brand is elegant and very cosmopolitan, yet wearable and simple aiming to make special occasions even more special. This brand creates special items for special occasions, but focuses on pieces that don’t look like what everyone else is wearing. These dresses and accessories are wear-again (and again) because of the quality and thought put into each design. These are pieces that get passed along because they hold up to wear over time. Abel & Lula is always a favorite of parents who shop at Honey Pie Kids for a few reasons. 

High Quality

Abel & Lula are well-made pieces. The design and craft that goes into each piece are meticulous, yet Abel & Lula knows that even at a fancy event kids need to play, so their designs are event and play tested. They pride themselves on wearable, comfortable cuts so kids don’t have to tug and pull at parts of the clothes. Their fabrics are hand selected with thought towards longevity and style. Abel & Lula knows kids will be experiencing new things for the first time, and they want to create opportunities for parents and children who all enjoy getting ready for a nice event together. 

Details

Each Abel & Lula piece comes with personality. Some of the colors and prints are bright, but stand out for their winsome beauty. Other pieces are not patterned, but have detailed overlays or lace detailing on the breezy sleeves. The bows, ruffles and pointelle details add feminine touches in just the right places. Their pieces have a mature and sophisticated air about them making the wearer look very grown up and put together. We love (and sell) their flower-adorned straw hats as well as their coordinating bags. Though Honey Pie Kids sells many of their sleeveless dresses, we love that Abel & Lula makes corresponding faux-fur jackets to pop over the top in the winter. 

Innovative Design

We love the flexibility and innovation of Abel & Lula designs. Instead of only making dresses, we appreciate the crepe jumpsuit and coordinating accessories. The asymmetrical top with ruched strap, snappy matching belt, and long, flowing pants legs make this piece perfect for a wedding, recital or church. The color looks great with any complexion, and for fun, it would look perfect paired with a hat and a bag. It’s easy to see Abel & Lula’s artisan spirit in this modern piece. Another piece we can’t get over is the jacquard shorts dress. This is the perfect marriage between dress and shorts for the active girl who might not love to get dressed up, yet she’ll still look fabulous at the party. 

HoneyPieKids knows the discerning parent loves high-quality luxury brands for their children’s clothing, and we think Abel & Lula delivers on both luxury and quality paired with beautiful fabrics and unique patterns. We think the thoughtful details of a ruffle or bow, covered buttons or sophisticated pleats set Abel & Lula apart when it comes to special-occasion fashion. 

HoneyPieKids carries only the best kids boutique clothing when it comes to quality, style, and value.  Angel Dear, a popular baby and toddler clothing brand based in San Francisco, combines soft, eco-friendly materials with a modern, up-beat sensibility. Angel Dear is a popular brand at HoneyPie Kids for best-dressed babies and toddlers as well as best-loved baby gifts. Their seasonal collections are sophisticated, but not stuffy. They see childhood as a time to “luxuriate in the joys of childhood,” and design their clothes, blankets and accessories to match that mindset. 

Angel Dear is a fan favorite at HoneyPie Kids because of the natural bamboo material and their lighthearted designs. A stack of smiling pancakes, avocado toast, rainbows, tacos, and all sorts of cute animals gives Angel Dear its signature look. They perfectly marry fun and quality by having the cutest patterns made from soft, natural bamboo. Their designs consider not only the tired, middle-of-the-night outfit change, but also the smallest wearer of the footie pajamas. 

Their signature footie features thoughtful details for both parents and baby. The fold-over fist cuffs prevent accidental scratches from an erratic baby fingernail. The chin-to-toe zipper features lining to prevent the zipper from accidentally pinching any skin, and the zipper guard at the chin prevents chaffing. The enclosed feet are lined with fleece for extra coziness. Pop on a matching hat, head wrap or headband to complete the adorable look. 

In addition to the footie pajamas and infant sleeper, for the not-so-baby, HoneyPieKids carries Angel Dear’s two-piece lounge sets and velour jogging suits. Can we say cute? The two-piece lounge sets are to be lived in (all day if possible!), and feature the Angel Dear signature prints. The jogger sets are easy to pull on, and pair a zippered hoodie with comfortable, pull-on pants. The bigger sizes in no way compromise on soft and cozy, and the zipper details carry over to their bigger-sized fashion. 

We always carry a large selection but we don't carry the Angel Dear line in all the patterns, but because they are so popular at HoneyPieKids, we restock a large selection of popular patterns, sizes and styles frequently. If there is a pattern you want and don't see it on our website, just ask us and it may be already on the way to our store or can be ordered.  In addition to the infant & toddler sleepwear and loungewear, we also stock the headbands and head wraps, but we highly recommend the super-soft swaddle blankets in the signature patterns. These make great gifts, and are easy to toss in the wash. They are a fan favorite of the littlest customers. The sleepers with a matching hat and blanket is a popular baby gift for baby showers, newborn gifts or anytime gifts.

Every baby fashionista needs a go-to, all-season piece, and the Angel Dear chenille hooded zip-up is it. HoneyPieKids stocks a variety of colors, perfect for girls and boys, and soft all year round. It is the perfect weight, a cross between a sweatshirt and jacket, and adds to the plush coziness when thrown over one of the two-piece lounge set. Every parent who comes into shop or purchase our Angel Dear on our website wishes these came in adult sizes because they are super soft and amazing. 

If you are looking for another high-quality kid’s brand to outfit a baby with great taste, Angel Dear has everything you’re looking for. We’re proud to carry this brand, and love seeing the most fashionable kids wearing it. Come to our HoneyPie Kids boutique or shop our website online to experience our latest and greatest. 

The official end-of-school countdown has begun, and we know summer is right around the corner. Hopefully kids summer camp is on the docket for a fabulous summer. HoneyPieKids will not only outfit you head to toe for camp, we can also ship directly to camp if you forget something or want to send a fun care package. 

First up for necessary camp packing is swimwear. Honey Pie Kids carries swimwear to outfit everyone. We love our Stella Cove swimwear line for both girls and boys up to size 14. Stella Cove is a brand worn by the kids of many celebrities—even royalty! We love the bright colors, stylish cuts and cute patterns. Don’t head to summer camp without a Stella Cove swimsuit. 

Once your summer-camp kid has their swimwear covered, don’t forget to include a fancy pair of Bling2o swim goggles or an oversized unicorn, rainbow, video game or round beach towel. They’re super fun and big enough for your camper and their bestie.

After time at the beach or pool, every camper will want to get cozy in their bunk. We recommend all of our Candy Pink items for ultimately coziness. There are pajama pants, cute shorts and the softest blankets making bed time relaxing and comfortable. Candy Pink makes many patterns for girls, and HoneyPieKids has started to carry their pajama bottoms for boys. 

Once your camper is settled at camp sending a thoughtful care package will make their day. We’ve made it so easy for parents because Honey Pie Kids will ship the same day you place an order, and we’ll send it directly to your child at camp. We have plenty of items that will make a special surprise for a homesick kid. We have a huge assortment of the cuddliest decorative pillows not only to decorate their bunk with, but to snuggle with at night if they are missing home. We especially think the s’more pillow, the giant t-rex or a pair of fluffy slippers will bring a smile to their face. 

Staying hydrated is important for a busy camper, and our Lifefactory water bottles are easy to pack or to ship to your camper. They come in fun colors, and feature a non-slip silicone sleeve for extra grip. A water bottle would be a perfect item in a care package shipped directly to your camper from Honey Pie Kids. 

Another fun item we sell (and can ship) are our lined, spiral-bound journals with a fidget popper cover. All the camp secrets will end up hidden away in this journal, and the front cover will provide hours of fun. In addition to the essentials, we carry Tinte Vintage Lip Cosmetics, Roshambo sunglasses, and a wide assortment of bags, purses and backpacks for travel.

We are pleased to offer a special deal for summer campers: take 10% off any regular-priced item with coupon code: Summercamp10.  Don’t forget orders with HoneyPieKids.com ship the same day, and we’ve got you—and your camper—covered because we are happy to ship directly to camp. Let’s have a great summer!

Spring Time Special Occasions

With Passover and Easter just around the corner (not to mention graduation and wedding season coming up!), we’ve rounded up Honey Pie Kids’ favorite looks for dressing up this spring. We also have some small, fabulous gifts to round out the Easter baskets. Whether you shop online or in the store, we can’t wait to provide you with the best children’s fashion. We carry brands that are big on style and function, but will hold up well to a busy kid’s lifestyle. We provide high-quality clothes, and we hope to be your go-to fashion answer for all of your child’s clothing, and specifically for Passover and Easter outfits. 

Dress Up

One nice outfit might be all you need, but when you see our selection, one might not be enough. We have Easter-specific outfits finished with full skirts and a fluffy bunny tails. We have a large selection of dresses for all ages and debonair options for the boys. We’ve thought of everyone, including the doll!  Make sure to check out this years new Ooh La La couture Girls Bunny In a Basket Dress.  It's so cute and it can be used anytime of the year. Includes the removable bunny!

Something for Baby

Easter is the best opportunity to deck the baby out in everything adorable. We love this Mudpie Spring-themed sleep gown and think there’s nothing cuter than this Sweet Wink infant body suit. Baby boy needs to look his best on Easter, and we love this darling Mayoral sweater and shorts set. 

For the Feet

There’s nothing worse than selecting the perfect Easter outfits only to discover dress shoes that don’t fit, or no dress shoes at all. We’ve got your kiddo’s feet covered—even the babies! We’re gushing over the sweetest Meri Meri bunny booties and Mudpie plush booties for the littlest baby bunnies. We also love these cute, yet practical, Mini Melissa bunny sneakers as well as these Livie & Luca “Molly” bunny-themed dress shoes.

Finish the Look and Fill Up the Easter Basket

As fashion icon Iris Apfel said, “If there was a choice on spending a lot of money on accessories or dress, I always chose accessories.” And we agree! Accessories add the finishing touch, the pizzaz, the eye-catching detail to the ensemble, and our Easter accessories are so much fun. All of these accessories accomplish two purposes: finishing the look and making fabulous additions to the Easter basket. For the baby bunnies, we have a bunny ears headband and organic bunny bonnet. We have a bunny bag and bunny purse as well as a chocolate-scented bunny necklace or a Meri Meri bunny pocket necklace.  Tutu Du Monde always nails their accessories, and we love their understated Mika headband in all three colors. To fill that basket with fun and practical gifts we also suggest a bunny ears tumbler or unicorn tumbler, a tie dye bunny pop it, an adorable bunny sticker book and one of our Meri Meri egg decorating tattoo kits. 

We hope that which ever holidays and special occasions you celebrate this spring, you check out Honey Pie Kids. We love dressing kids in adorable, high-quality clothing for every special occasion. We try to be a one-stop-shop for clothing and accessories, swimwear and gifts, and everything in-between.
