Did You Ever Get Into the American Girl Series?
I've already declared my love of the American Girl books, which I enjoyed mostly because they incorporated interesting historical stuff into stories about girls who — aside from the differences in time periods — were just girls like me and my friends. Now, even though I'm an adult with no kids, I'm excited to see the adorable Abigail Breslin play Kit Kittredge in the movie adaptation heading to theaters just in time for the 4th of July.
Not only did I love the books, but I was the ecstatic recipient of a Kirsten doll at one point.
Do, Dump, or Marry?

Trendtotting: Abigail Breslin Shimmers Down Red Carpet
America's favorite girl, Abigail Breslin, showcased her sassy sense of 12-year-old style at the New York premiere of Kit Kittredge: American Girl. Looking every bit her age and like quite the lil lady in a gorgeous, sparkly Yana Brink couture dress, which was accented at the waist and had a decadently ruffed skirt that any woman would envy.
The actress, who stars as Kit, paired it with complementary peep toed shoes by BCBG Girls.

Looks like they learned a thing or two about red carpets from their famous parents.
Trendtotting: Chris O'Donnell's All American Boys
Actor Chris O'Donnell is known for his all-American looks and charm so it seems fitting that he and his wife, Caroline, dress their adorable children in unpretentious, but classic style. The three oldest O'Donnell kids showed up to the premiere of their dad's new family film Kit Kittredge: An American Girl looking like they had just stepped off the yacht and I love them for it. Lily, 8, walked the press line in a darling yellow number, while Chip, 7, and Charlie, 4, went for comfortable, pairing jeans with Crewcuts blazers, Ralph Lauren shirts, jeans and white Converse.
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl: Interview with Chris O'Donnell
He caught our eye as Charlie Simms, the kind hearted collegian, playing opposite Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman and young ladies swooned when he broke up a Circle of Friends as Jack Foley. Chris O'Donnell is the quintessential American male with conventional good looks, smarts and the friendly disposition of the boy, now man, next door. He's the kind of guy that men and mothers like.
