Back to School, In Style


It’s that time again—backpacks are replacing beach bags. Whether your little is going to a playgroup or that first Kindergarten bus ride, why not sprinkle some fun in back-to-school shopping while you pick up the must-have supplies? That was our inspiration when we headed to Kirby Girl in Darien, Connecticut, with our friend Alston and her daughter Elizabeth. Between the shop’s sunny vibe and Elizabeth's excitement, we couldn’t help but feel all the happy.  


Here are Elizabeth's must-haves, including our Little Girls Turtleneck in white, and her new rules for back to school.

Why not mix it up with a new bag for those supplies?

Take Time for Treats
Hard work wins the sweetest rewards.

Cute Can Be Cozy
Out: itchy sweaters. In: playtime-friendly fleece.
