Ruffles, ruffles, everywhere and lots of girls to wear them
Of the kids' clothing lines that I anxiously await the new season's collections, Ses Petites Mains is definitely high on the list. And let's just say that designer Beth Miles' combination of ruffles and plaid, with some adorable denim on the side makes me very happy to have two girls and another on the way.
I admit that it's hard for me to choose my favorites from her new fall collection of girls clothing, but at the top of my list has to be the maeve skirt (pictured above) that's unlike anything I've ever seen. I'm a sucker for a plaid skirt, but the addition of the ruffle detail is making me flip.

The tops are equally as lovely, like the pip blouse, which would really pair well with a pair of cute clam digger jeans or a simple straight skirt. And I'd be remiss not to mention the Clarice dress (right), with the classic empire styling but in wearable denim which is so hot for fall.

Now while I'd need to win the lottery to make these beautiful handmade clothes my daughters' staple wardrobe, I've always been impressed with the amazing worksmanship and quality of Beth's pieces -- like the beautiful dress my oldest wore almost every other day that is still in near perfect condition for her little sister. So if you find one piece you simply must own, we wouldn't blame you a bit.

I often find myself saying they don't make 'em like they used to about my girls' clothing but not when it comes to Ses Petites Mains. Magnificent, modern, and made to last. -Kristen
