Violet Affleck seems to be taking her role as big sister to baby Seraphina seriously. Checking her mama's BlackBerry for missed messages, the eldest Affleck daughter was the picture of casual cool on her way out of school earlier this week.

Pairing one of her wardrobe staples, an ultra-comfortable striped Splendid dress, with a pair of leggings, she finished off the outfit with a pair of versatile Naturino Mary Jane sneakers, which had the preschooler prepared to take on an arts and crafts project or the playground. Give your lil one similar comfort with the options below.

Earlier this week Ruby Maguire and Violet Affleck were caught wearing similar versions of Splendid Littles' striped dress, and it looks like Violet's mommy really likes the line because she bought Violet the dress in another color. Maybe she got news that 55 percent of lilsugar readers like how she paired Violet's dress with leggings and sneakers! Pieces from the simple but sweet line run for about $30 to $60 and the designs come in bright summery colors.

Fashion Week: Splendid Littles

LilSugar — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 06:01:05 -0800

There's nothing better than curling up in your most worn in lounge wear. But since kids grow like weeds, most don't have clothes that have softened in time.

The folks at Splendid created children's clothing that is cuddly from the get go by introducing Splendid Littles in 2005. The bright, colorful t-shirts, dresses and hoodies are for the next generation. To learn more about the line, read more.

For spring, the company is offering up layered boys shirts ($45), tropical prints for girls ($51) and stripes for both sexes ($49). The line tends to run rather small (I recommend buying at least one size up, if not two), but the clothes wear well and never seem to fade.

These goodies hit Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue in early March.

Children's Sample Sale Sites Feed Moms' Shopping Needs

Mamas who love spending dough on their lil ones know how quickly a barrette here and shoes there can add up. While some save cash by shopping at discount or consignment shops, others can't give up their love of designer duds for their tots. Over the past year several online sample sale sites have set up shop offering significant price reductions on clothing and gear for expectant moms and tots.

The Mini Social, bTrendie and Zulily all send daily emails to members, informing them of the one or two sales they are hosting that day. Sale products tend to focus on boutique brands – such as celeb baby favorite Splendid Littles, eco-friendly toy company Plan Toys and baby gear giant Graco to name a few – and prices can be as much as 50 percent off of retail stores. But interested buyers have to act fast and be willing to compromise. The sites tend to only have a limited supply of the goods that can sell out in a matter of minutes, and the available colors and patterns may not be the most current.

Tinseltown is seeing double! Ruby Maguire and Violet Affleck are two charmed tots that dress in style while maintaining practical playground attire. Both little lasses wore a version of Splendid Littles pink and navy striped dress while out running errands with their parents. Violet donned leggings and her trusty SuperGas to complete her look, while Ruby kept cool in her matching navy Crocs.

Junior Jetset: Wild About Wyoming!

babysugar — Tue, 26 May 2009 09:00:24 -0700

The first time a person lays eyes on the Grand Tetons outside the town of Jackson, WY, it takes one's breath away - even a tot's. Nestled between mountains and national parks, the Jackson airport does not serve every major airline, but can be reached through other large hubs. Once there renting a car is a breeze and a must if one intends on taking advantage of all the area has to offer. Aside from the splendid landscape families can also soak up a week's worth of activities. Here are some of my picks!

Alpine slide - Youngsters who like slides will jump for joy to ride the alpine slide at the Snow King resort. After riding the chairlift up the mountain, kids barrel down the pipe on a sled to the base of the hill.
Gondola ride - If hiking isn't in the cards, a gondola trip up to the top of Teton Village will give everyone a sublime view of the valley and afar.
Horseback ride - Lil buckaroos can saddle up for an old-fashioned trail ride through the parks with the opportunity to see wildlife, nature and get some grub along the way.

To see the rest of the exciting activities, just read more.

Boat cruise - Surrounded by scenic lakes, visitors can schedule an early morning boat cruise and watch the mist lift off the waters, dine on a delectable breakfast, and sip on "cowboy coffee." People who don't enjoy early wake-up calls may fancy the idea of a dinner cruise instead.
Whitewater rafting - The Snake River runs right by the town of Jackson and has rip-roaring rapids on which local float companies have the pleasure of entertaining thrill seeking visitors.
Hiking - Whether it's a 30-minute hike or a 10-mile expedition, there's a trail for everyone in the area. From a steep incline up the Snow King right in town to a quest around Jenny Lake, trekkers will be in awe of the beauty that surrounds them.
Rodeo - From June to August, the rodeo comes to town and brings all the bells and whistles with it. All through the Summer, the town gathers on Wednesday and Sunday nights for a lil ropin' and bull riding.
Town square shoot out - Every day at 6 p.m., there's an old fashioned western shoot out under the antler arches right in the heart of Jackson. Kiddos will get a kick out of the costumes and parents will like the free price tag!
Biking - People can hike and boat around the area but visitors can also rent bikes and explore paths, rivers and pedal around town while getting a little exercise.
Fishing - All the rivers and streams provide endless fishing opportunities for line throwing families. A fly fisherman's paradise, visitors can float or simply cast into the magnificent bodies of water and hope for a nibble or two.

When it comes to an action packed vacation, there's hardly a better place than Jackson Hole, WY to provide outdoor fun for everyone.
