Playing Dress Up
I was watching Extra! on TV the other night—don’t judge me—and Mario Lopez was interviewing Sophia Grace and Rosie, the two adorable British girls who first made a splash on The Ellen DeGeneres Show with their rendition of a Nicki Minaj hit. Seeing them dressed in matching tutus and sporting tiaras, it occurred to me that, when it comes to clothing, kids have all the fun.
Such is the case with the children’s fashions at L. Kids. Sophia Grace and Rosie would surely have a field day trying on the poufy, pretty dresses from Kaiya Eve. Available in a range of fun colors and styles, the playful pettiskirt frocks are perfect for any princess in the making.
L. Kids, 556 Pineapple Ave., Sarasota, 906-1350
