We have to say, we’re big fans of the way Kourtney Kardashian dresses her little guy, Mason.

Whether they’re vacationing or out and about, the 3-year-old always looks really comfortable.

On May 9, Mason wore a black-and-white print ensemble from one of our fave kiddie labels, Mini & Maximus, while heading to dinner with his mom in Calabasas, Calif.

The matching tank ($50) and harem-style shorts ($58) are made with 100 percent linen and feature hip shark drawings that were actually created by a kid.

Now that his aunt has welcomed a daughter, we bet his new cousin will be wearing the brand soon too. Our pick for Kim and Kanye‘s mini princess: the organic cotton Shark Whisperer tee ($38).

Nothing makes us smile more than adorable kid fashions. So you can imagine our glee when we spotted Halle Berry‘s little girl, Nahla, in her Lemon Loves Lime Fairy Petals dress (now $25, originally $58) on July 25 while hanging at L.A.’s Century City Mall with her mom and stepdad Olivier Martinez.

Pretty and super soft, the fun frock is part of Lemon Loves Lime’s Spring 2013 collection and is made of 100 percent Supima cotton. Our fave feature is the multi-colored tiered skirt, which really takes it up a notch.

The 5-year-old loves the style so much she also has the pink version. On June 9, she wore it during a grocery shopping trip to Bristol Farms in Beverly Hills with red ballet flats and loose curls.

There’s nothing cozier than a soft and roomy cotton sweatshirt. And as star moms including Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Sarah Jessica Parker prove, you can wear a stylish version with anything. That’s why their styles of choice are by LA-based brand, Nation LTD, which is known for its casual yet polished tees and bottoms.

On April 9, Garner rocked the brand’s Raglan Sweatshirt ($88) in bright blue with faded jeans in Pacific Palisades, Calif. And a month later, Parker wore a similar outfit on May 22 in N.Y.C. For a more refined take, Reese paired the charcoal gray Pomona Sweatshirt ($79) with green butterfly-print shorts while visiting a friend in Brentwood on Aug. 12.

TELL US: Do you have a fave sweatshirt? How do you wear it? Do you dress it up or down?

Talk about adorable! Just two days apart, Jessica Alba treated us to not one but two cute instances of her girls in matching outfits.

On Monday, the actress (who wore a black polka dot dress, jean jacket and straw wedge sandals) and her daughters Honor, 5, and Haven, almost 2, attended Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2013 Children’s Show in Sagaponack, N.Y. and Alba’s little fashionistas-in-training both donned the brand’s Nautical Seersucker Dress ($50) and white Mary Jane flats.

And as if that wasn’t sartorially sweet enough, we spotted Honor and Haven wearing the same DVF for Gap Kids floral frock while out and about with their mom in Malibu, Calif. on Saturday.

Alba is clearly having fun playing stylist to her daughters. And what mother wouldn’t. Tell us, do you dress your girls up in matching clothing?

Lizzie Parker Fashion Star Zulily

The key to building a stylish wardrobe is to buy versatile pieces that make getting dressed a breeze.

Especially if you’re a mom on-the-go. And no one knows that better than Lizzie Parker (left). The Seattle, WA based designer, who has two kids of her own, is known for her chic yet comfortable designs that work for women of all ages.

She’s also appeared as a contestant on the first season of NBC’s Fashion Star. But it’s her new role, as business development manager for women’s fashions at Zulily, that allows her to help women find fashions that really work for their everyday lives.

Below is her list of pieces that every mom should have in her closet. Check it out:

Colored Leather Tote Zulily

A colored leather tote bag. Not only will it make your outfits pop, but it’s big enough to carry around all the important stuff (diapers, anyone?) you and and your kids need. I love bright blue or maybe an electric plum. It really works in my otherwise black wardrobe. Plus, a good carryall can go from the schoolyard to work to farmers markets.

Designer Jeans Zulily

A great fitting pair of premium jeans. Find a silhouette (skinny, flared, straight) that you feel fantastic in. These are definitely an investment item. If you get the right cut, they can make you feel great everyday.

Statement Necklace Zulily

A statement necklace. This can really dress up your day-to-day T-shirt and jeans look. I love a long pendant necklace with a little color.

Printed Sneakers Zulily

A pair of fun printed sneakers. I mean let’s face it, we all would love to run around in designer pumps, but the reality is that’s not really practical for most moms. That does not mean you can’t have fun. I love a fun sneaker with a print – they will always make you smile when you put them on.

An amazing dress. Special events are always popping up in the life of a busy mom. So to avoid frantically looking for an outfit day of, invest in a special dress or two that you love. You can always switch up your accessories to give it a different feel for each occasion.

Well-fitting jeans are a staple in any woman’s closet — especially moms. And as January Jones, Jennifer Garner and Malin Akerman prove, great denim can really take your style up a notch.

So what’s the secret to their polished everyday looks? Hint: It’s in their genes — er, jeans — from Citizens of Humanity.

For an Oct. 15 lunch date with son Xander, Jones was the epitome of Cali cool in her slouchy Dylan Boyfriend Jeans ($228), white embroidered top and low wedge sandals.

And on Feb. 8, Garner paired a chunky marled sweater and Isabel Marant Basley Boots with her dark wash Avedon Skinny Leg Jeans ($198) while out shopping in Santa Monica.

Luckily, the brand makes styles for mamas-to-be too. On Feb. 6, we spotted Akerman rocking the Avedon Slim Leg Maternity Jeans ($226) while grabbing a drink to go in Beverly Hills.

Not only does the company’s denim come in plenty of cool silhouettes and colors, but they flatter a variety of figures, giving them a custom feel. Really, could a girl ask for anything more?

Even before Alessandra Ambr sio and daughter Anja Louise‘s posed professionally for London Fog, the duo stayed stylishly in step while out and about.

During a school run on Oct. 4, we spotted the Brazilian beauty and her mini me sporting complementary casual wear. Turns out, the adorable twosome are big fans of Day by Day‘s fun sweat shirts and pants.

Ambr sio paired the brand’s Together Cropped Sweatpant ($93) with a black tee and bold yellow flats, while Anja rocked a long sleeve yellow top and gray bottoms from their kiddie line.

But that wasn’t the only time we saw them wearing the company’s comfy gear. Days later on Oct. 9, the Victoria’s Secret Angel opted for the Cactus Pullover ($105) while her 4-year-old kept warm in their gray sweatsuit.

And on Nov. 2, Ambr sio and Anja were thinking pink with matching bubblegum-hued outfits.

We can’t get enough of their sweet laidback looks — and it seems neither can they!

Look who’s taking after mom!

Dannielynn Birkhead is following in Anna Nicole Smith‘s footsteps and making an adorable appearance in the GUESS Kids spring 2013 campaign.

And judging from the pictures (seriously, check out that sweet stance!), the 6-year-old is already a pro.

Dannielynn’s modeling debut also has special meaning for her and the company. Not only was her late mother named the face of the brand in 1992, but it marks the first time GUESS has tapped the child of a former model.

“Dannielynn has the same playful spirit that her mother had on set,” says creative director Paul Marciano. “She is a second-generation GUESS girl.”

The cutie also joins the ranks of fellow camera-ready celeb kids including Alessandra Ambr sio‘s little girl Anja, Cindy Crawford‘s daughter Kaia, and Jennifer Lopez‘s twins Max and Emme.

Decisions, decisions!

On Thursday, Tiffani Thiessen caught daughter Harper Renn Smith pondering a tough question that would leave any toddler deep in thought.

“What am I going to do today?” the actress Tweeted along with a sweet snapshot of her pensive princess.

Luckily, Harper didn’t need to think twice about her outfit for the day.

The adorable 2-year-old is wearing the Lily top ($28) from Lately Lily, a cute line of tees that feature a mini globetrotter who travels the world with her yellow suitcase and trusty best friend, Zeborah.

To keep up with Lily’s adventures, each T-shirt comes with a tag that provides a backstory on which country (Iceland, France and more!) she’s visiting. To see the full collection, go to latelylily.com.
