13 ways to get your kids looking like the fabulous stars that they are
There are lots of back to school kids' clothing trends that we're really liking this year, but one of them: the return of the star. The classic five-point star is showing up everywhere from the mass stores to the hottest kids' brands, looking more celestial than cowboy. Here, just a few favorites to get your kids looking galactic-cool from top to bottom. They're not just for birthday crowns anymore! -Liz

Reese Shoes and Patience Sky Shoes Stars and moons couldn't be a cuter combo on little feet. They come in toddler sizes 3-9 and youth sizes too. ($48, $56, See Kai Run)

Star Print Cardigan It comes in a few colors, but this golden yellow adds a nice pop of color in the cooler months. Be aware they run a little big. ($29, Zara)

Star Dress (in collage at top) and Star Print Leggings When I discovered Nununu this spring I fell in love. Adorable, so well made, in prints that seem to be made with the help of a lot of cute kids.  (£26, Skin & Bliss UK; $44, Estella NYC)

Liberty of London Star Headband The hair accessories from Adelaide are one of my favorite new finds, and the subtle headband (or ponytail holder) make her feel like the star she is. ($26, Adelaide NYC)

Girls' Striped Sweater Dress Love the accent of stars on the elbows, where patches might be. ($19.98 on sale, Gap)

Bensimon Star Sneakers Oh, like our kids would ever take these off. ($40, Tea Collection)

Foil Stamped Star Tee  Love these well-made pima cotton star tees, with fancy foil printing. It's pretty cool in coral too or a subtle silver on white. ($52, Chalk NYC)

Boys' Star Boxer Shorts Gah, so cute. Even if hardly anyone sees them. ($12.90/2, Zara)

Star Baby Bodysuit Another favorite brand for babies and kids, if a little splurgey, is Shirin NYC which makes the softest handprinted bodysuits, dresses and tees. Every one is a little different too. ($23 on sale at Arte Bebe)

Robeez Star Shoes Babies get in on the action too with these cute booties for boys or girls. ($25, Zappos)

Baby Star Leggings In sizes 6mo-4T the sale price of these foil stamped leggings is amazing. Grab them while you can. ($5 on sale, Children's Place)
