Let’s Get Dressed: Casual, Semi-Formal and Occasion Dresses for the Dress Lover

Some girls are just dress girls. No matter the occasion, she wears a dress morning, noon and night. She’s allergic to pants, and the more the dress poofs, spins, and moves, the more it gets worn. HoneyPieKids gets it, and supports it. We love dresses too. All of the brands we carry are brands that last, and we offer a wide variety of dresses for everyday play, school, special occasions and dresses for special photo shoots. We know to the dress lover, every dress is an everyday dress, but here are a few brands we love that will make girls and parents happy. 

Noralee Dresses

Noralee is the special occasion dress line of the parent brand Rylee + Cru. The dresses in this line feature a very natural, but elevated, look. Noralee’s one-of-a-kind charm is inspired by unique vintage pieces, rich in detail and romance, but durable enough for the busy girl. Every Noralee dress is an expression of love layered in soft hues and textures, bringing to life childhood stories and memories to last a lifetime. We love the natural simplicity of this brand, but appreciate the special detailing enhancing each dress. The trim, ruching, gathers, ruffles and fabrics make each dress beautiful enough to stand on its own. One of Noralee’s perfectly coordinating hair accessories sets the dress off, and completes the look. 

Angel’s Face

Angel’s Face is a brand popular with both the fancy dress girl and the parents. This line has a wide variety of dresses—everyday to special occasion—and each dress has a special detail for the fanciest of girls. For instance, the Peppermint Dress has a comfortable tank-like cotton top with the softest, flounciest tulle and sequin skirt. This dress is fit for family photos or the playground. Everyone loves the Angel’s Face easy, pull-on tutu skirts. They are soft and fun, easy to pair with a simple tee or blouse, and they can be found at recess or down the aisle. The Angel’s Face line also features dress shoes for special occasions as well as coordinating hair accessories, and even a few purses. 

Ooh! La, La! Couture

This fabulous brand is a favorite among the smaller fashionistas. Layers of tulle, splashes of sparkle, and sophisticated cuts makes Ooh! La, La! Couture a go-to brand for dress lovers. This brand makes coordinating pieces for each of their dresses to complete the look, and we love the finished result. It’s all in! Ooh! La, La! Couture makes an unforgettable statement, and we think it will be hard for the true dress lover to relinquish these wonderful dresses. 

Tutu Du Monde

This favorite girls line is a sought after dress line from Australia that we carry a very large selection of. Tutu Du Monde sizes ranges from baby sizes to girls size 16. Tutu Du Monde also has the most beautiful selection of accessories like headbands, arm cuffs, gloves, leg warmers, capes, shrugs and jackets,  We always carry the latest collections including the limited collections like the Tutu Du Monde Barbie collection and the Tutu Du Monde Camden Park Collection.

Kids Boutique Brand Spotlight: Abel & Lula Girls

HoneyPieKids is excited to introduce you to Abel & Lula, a chic children’s clothing brand carried at our boutique. This distinctive brand is elegant and very cosmopolitan, yet wearable and simple aiming to make special occasions even more special. This brand creates special items for special occasions, but focuses on pieces that don’t look like what everyone else is wearing. These dresses and accessories are wear-again (and again) because of the quality and thought put into each design. These are pieces that get passed along because they hold up to wear over time. Abel & Lula is always a favorite of parents who shop at Honey Pie Kids for a few reasons. 

High Quality

Abel & Lula are well-made pieces. The design and craft that goes into each piece are meticulous, yet Abel & Lula knows that even at a fancy event kids need to play, so their designs are event and play tested. They pride themselves on wearable, comfortable cuts so kids don’t have to tug and pull at parts of the clothes. Their fabrics are hand selected with thought towards longevity and style. Abel & Lula knows kids will be experiencing new things for the first time, and they want to create opportunities for parents and children who all enjoy getting ready for a nice event together. 

Details

Each Abel & Lula piece comes with personality. Some of the colors and prints are bright, but stand out for their winsome beauty. Other pieces are not patterned, but have detailed overlays or lace detailing on the breezy sleeves. The bows, ruffles and pointelle details add feminine touches in just the right places. Their pieces have a mature and sophisticated air about them making the wearer look very grown up and put together. We love (and sell) their flower-adorned straw hats as well as their coordinating bags. Though Honey Pie Kids sells many of their sleeveless dresses, we love that Abel & Lula makes corresponding faux-fur jackets to pop over the top in the winter. 

Innovative Design

We love the flexibility and innovation of Abel & Lula designs. Instead of only making dresses, we appreciate the crepe jumpsuit and coordinating accessories. The asymmetrical top with ruched strap, snappy matching belt, and long, flowing pants legs make this piece perfect for a wedding, recital or church. The color looks great with any complexion, and for fun, it would look perfect paired with a hat and a bag. It’s easy to see Abel & Lula’s artisan spirit in this modern piece. Another piece we can’t get over is the jacquard shorts dress. This is the perfect marriage between dress and shorts for the active girl who might not love to get dressed up, yet she’ll still look fabulous at the party. 

HoneyPieKids knows the discerning parent loves high-quality luxury brands for their children’s clothing, and we think Abel & Lula delivers on both luxury and quality paired with beautiful fabrics and unique patterns. We think the thoughtful details of a ruffle or bow, covered buttons or sophisticated pleats set Abel & Lula apart when it comes to special-occasion fashion.
