The other day, when I was in a local craft store with my daughter we found ourselves smack in the middle of a Halloween display.  She captured my sentiments perfectly when she yelled “THIS IS BANANAS – you need to tell them it’s SUMMER!!!”

We still have a lot of warm-weather fun to pack in before the autumn breezes head our way, but preparing for back-to-school ahead of time saves my sanity in the long run. Last month, we introduced our partnership with p.s. from aéropostale and their back-to-school collections are just as amazing as their summer options.  We love their interpretation of the animal trend for girls and their layering options for boys are comfortable, stylish and well made. The accessories are among my favorites too!

Kids’ skull flat brim hats // Kids’ Uniform Solid Full-Zip Hoodie // Kids Tiger Shine Sweatshirt // Kids’ Long Sleeve Zebra Henley //

For now, I’d like to think of these great fall finds as perfect summer layering options.  And when the time comes they will keep my little ones stylishly warm too.  p.s. from aéropostale  now features helpful community boards in stores featuring style inspiration and even a craft of the month.  I sometimes shop in the boys department for my daughter and appreciate their 2 ways – 2 wear suggestions.  I picked up the above hats for both kiddos in the boys section and happen to adore the not-too-matchy-matchy yet unified look!

Wishing you all beautiful summer days and be sure to sign up for p.s. from aéropostale  emails – their savings are incredible!
