Lil Apparel

There's nothing better than knowing that your purchases are helping a cause. Last year, we didn't think things could get any better than H&M's All For Children collection, but that's because we hadn't seen this year's designs. On Oct. 18, the Swedish retailer will introduce its 2012 All For Children collection to benefit UNICEF at 300 stores worldwide.

While the collection includes dressed-up designs like a pink bow-detail dress, a fake-fur necktie coat, and printed tops for girls, as well as blazers and colorblocked sweaters for boys, it's the costumes and fantasy pieces that we're drooling over now. Wizard hats, magic wands, rabbit ears (and scarves), and flamingo heads are the perfect Halloween accessories for kids who don't want to go the commercial route this year. And the wall stickers and playbook just add to the fun.

As it did last year, H&M will donate 25 percent of the sale of each garment to UNICEF's work in Bangladesh to promote education and improve children's health in the slum areas around Dhaka, including those that help make the discount department store's clothes.

To help kick off the collection, H&M will host celebratory events in New York and Chicago on Oct. 18 and in Los Angeles on Oct. 20, with food, music, face painting, and the opportunity for kids to create their own iconic UNICEF Trick or Treat boxes.

Keep reading for a sneak peek at the collection, and visit H&M's site for more details about the initiative.

Japanese clothing line Uniqlo is much loved for its minimalist sensibilities and affordable prices (for those not familiar with the line, think of it as a less-trendy H&M or a cooler Gap), and just this week, it introduced its first-ever kids line. Uniqlo Undercover, a collaboration with designer Jun Takahashi, is only available at the brand's three New York City stores, so check out these 10 covetable pieces, call up your favorite Manhattanite, and beg them to go on a shopping spree for your oh-so-needy tot!

Clothes that kids can interact with make getting dressed in the morning a lot more fun. Check out some of our favorite finds that allow lil stylists to mix, match, and create their own looks.

And the countdown begins! We're just 10 days away from the highly anticipated launch of the Diane von Furstenberg for Baby Gap and Gap Kids collection, and the anticipation is growing. The capsule collection — much like the one Stella McCartney created for the retail giant a few years ago — is piquing the interest of moms and kids alike. Over the weekend, the designer— who shared her thoughts on being a grandmother with us last year — debuted pieces from the line at a celebrity mom and tot-attended event. Alyson Hannigan, Tiffani Thiessen, Jessica Capshaw, Milla Jovovich, and an expectant Molly Sims joined Diane von Furstenberg for a sneak peek at the baby wrap dresses, printed onesies, and mini sunglasses, all featuring iconic DVF patterns. Check out photos from the event now and stay tuned for images from the complete collection later this week!
