Simple or Swank: Splendid Tunics and Legging Sets For Girls

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 11:30:00 PST

Is it possible to dress like Violet Affleck and the rest of Tinseltown's tots at Target prices? When I first heard that celebaby favorite Splendid Littles would be teaming up with Target for an affordable collection of their popular play clothes, I was skeptical that they could recreate their signature soft fabric at a price the masses could afford. So imagine my surprise when I ran up to my local Target hours before the Boxing Day Blizzard to pick up some boots for the kids and came across the adorable collection.
Simple: Hold up a Splendid Littles for Target shirt next to the original collection and I dare you to feel a difference. Feeling every bit as soft and comfy as the line found at high end department stores, this White/Navy Two Piece Dress Set ($19) features the designer's stripes in the familiar polyester/cotton/modal blend.

Swank: The Splendid Littles Striped Tunic and Leggings set ($75) adds some tab details to the tunic's cuffs and two patch pockets to the top, while using a cotton/modal/polyester blend that is higher in cotton than the less expensive version. Which do you prefer?

The Splendid Littles for Target limited edition collection also includes clothes and accessories for lil ones sizes newborn to 5T.

Celebaby Style: Violet Affleck Is Splendid in Stripes

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 PST

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,

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.

Hannah Weil — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:25:22 PDT

We got a pleasant surprise at last night's Splendid Soho store opening when we spotted fellow party guest Brooklyn Decker. With a new film under her belt - and a collection of seriously gorgeous premiere and press looks to go with - not to mention, one very hot new editorial in GQ, we've been following Brooklyn's every styled move. Last night, we got the chance to talk Battleship tour, her styling M.O., and find out a little more about those amazing gold sneakers. Read on for 60 seconds with the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker - and shop her whole look from last night.

FabSugar: Tell us a little about your look and how you styled your Splendid tee for tonight?
Brooklyn Decker: "I'm wearing Opening Ceremony, Splendid, and Miu Miu. I love basics, but you've got to mix them with something a little funky, so I picked the Opening Ceremony skirt. I'm a bit of a tomboy so as soon as I put on this skirt, truth be told, I felt way too girlie, so I put on sneakers."

OnSugar Blog: 5 Must Haves For a Clean, Stylish, Happy Baby and Mommy

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 03:15:36 PDT

Lots of moms and mommies-to-be like to think out loud, and Nicole Pearl, the Beauty Girl is one of them. She recently posted about her favorite products for baby and mom on her The Beauty Girl blog.

It's only Tuesday and it's already been a big week of celeb news: Kim K's divorcing and Jessica Simpson's having a baby! Breakups suck, but personal experience proves they make you stronger. Babies, on the other hand, are the biggest gift of love. I can't believe my little man Rex is already 8 weeks old! I admit, the past couple of months have been grueling between the sleepless nights and never-ending bouts of spit up. But they've also been the most rewarding, magical moments of my life.

Jessica's announcement got me thinking about how far I've come as a mom. Like, I went from not knowing what a breast pump was to being able to put the parts together in the dark. And the full five minutes it once took me to change a diaper has been shaved down to seconds. In just two months, I've become fluent in baby from gadgets to products. I still have a lot to learn, and I've been grateful to all the moms who have shared their tips with me. Now, it's my turn to pay it forward. I've listed a few of my favorite finds (more installments to come!). Hopefully these will come in just as handy for baby Simpson and all the future tots-to-be.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo & Wash: After washing Rex's hair and body with this, he smells just like a baby should - fresh, clean and yummy all at once. I've been sent a lot of baby bath products from a bunch of different companies and will report back on the others as I give them a try.

Kicky Pants, Ralph Lauren and Splendid onesies: A onesie is the baby equivalent of a dress. Just slip it on and the look is complete. From preppy to hipster, I love dressing Rex up in stylish looks, and I've fallen in love with the fashions from these three brands. Kicky Pants onesies come in fun prints and are made with a bamboo fabric that's so soft, I wish they made clothes for adults. Rex may as well be a model for Ralph Lauren because every other thing he wears is RL baby. From the most precious white nightie to a velour jumper, there's a wealth of adorable options, especially for boys. Splendid wins for creating mini versions of fashions that you'd wear yourself. Like the brand's adult line, the clothes are comfy and cute. Check out Rex in the lower photo with his teddy. He's rocking a Splendid hooded onesie.

Baby Aquaphor: I oil Rex up from head to toe every night. I keep a tub by his changing table and a tube in my diaper bag. I swear by this ointment. It's kept his pretty baby face acne free, has fended off diaper rash and stopped the first signs of cradle cap in its tracks.

Halle Berry and Nahla Soak Up the Sun in Spain With Olivier Martinez

Lauren Turner — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 12:08:20 PDT

Halle Berry and her boyfriend, Olivier Martinez, took Nahla for a stroll around Majorca yesterday. They checked out a street market on the Spanish island before Halle and Nahla, who looked cute in a Splendid Littles dress, parted ways with Olivier to catch a train headed to the nearby town of Palma. Halle and Nahla are continuing their Summer ways into Fall after they spent plenty of time near the beach in Malibu over the past few months. The fun will wind down soon, though, when Halle gets to work filming Cloud Atlas in the UK. She'll be joined on set by Hugh Grant, who was just added to the cast, and Nahla will also be able to join her following a recent custody ruling that allows the 3-year-old to travel with her mom.

Lauren Conrad's Beach Day Basics

Lauren Conrad — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 06:00:49 PDT

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with LaurenConrad! The TV personality, writer, designer, and style maven started LaurenConrad.com, a social networking site that features daily posts by Lauren on all of our favorite topics - fashion, beauty, food, party planning - and Lauren will be sharing her latest fashion finds with Fab every month. First up? We get the skinny on Lauren's beach day basics.

The sun is shining and the seagulls are singing (or more accurately, combing the beach for your sandy leftovers)-it’s summertime! You may have your swimsuit du jour squared away along with the perfect pair of sunnies, but the question remains: Are you really ready to hit the beach?

In addition to my door side “go” bag (see In the Bag: Prepped & Ready for all the details), there are a few key fashion items I keep around for hanging beachside…

Classic Cut Offs
Every gal needs a good old pair of cut off jean shorts. For me, denim cutoffs will always be a summer staple. They are as timeless as they are California cool. Lately, I’ve been wearing Levi’s because I like the looser fit and higher set waist. The Levi’s 501 cut works well with most body types. Other cute cut offs I found online include Madewell’s cuffed Midi Shorts or Urban Outfitter’s Urban Renewal Shorts.

Neutral Sandals
I cannot stress how important it is to have a great pair of neutral sandals. Your wardrobe choices are exponentially multiplied when you’ve got a pair of shoes that go with almost everything in your closet. A few of my favorites are the sandals I designed for my LC Lauren Conrad line for Kohl’s, Tory Burch’s Emmy Flats, Topshop’s Hoopa Sandals, and Aldo’s Dauster Flats. And for those of you who plan on treading into the sand, I suggest keeping a pair of Havaianas Slim Flip Flops handy (I like the sand grey and light golden color combo).

Nicole Kidman Has Her Hands Full With a Bundle of Pink Love

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:21:57 PDT

Pretty in pink! Sightings of 6-month-old Faith Margaret Kidman Urban are few and far between, but Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban didn't hide their love for their infant when they arrived at an Australian airport today. It looks like mama Nicole may subscribe to Victoria Beckham's philosophy of how to dress a little girl, as the precious tot was decked out in head-to-toe pink, including a blush-colored blanket. The sweet look is one moms everywhere can copy with just a few key pieces.
