Kids Couture


I am still alive. I have been away you see, over to Seattle (or some other odd city that sounds business like) to pick up my first blogging award, a prestigious one awarded to those who, no matter what, relentlessly don't post, therefore I received World's Worst Blogger.

I know I'm awful and you'd rather not look at me right now but if you can find it in your dear hearts to forgive me then I'd appreciate it, I do, as always, have an excuse. I have been captive of my final essay topically featuring The Great Gatsby for the past two months which was shortly followed by my one week stint at Your Hair/Hair Ideas/Blonde Hair and so I have only JUST surfaced for air this week.

My days now consist of sitting on my lap top and scouring the Internet for any job that I may be able to contribute something to. This has so far included assistant jobs at both Trains Monthly and Automotive magazine, as I am a none driver I am just not sure how much I can contribute. 
(and I really mean it)

All this future thought has left me having a little Peter Pan moment as I come to the realisation that it is well and truly time for me to grow up. Which has left me longing for my childhood back, which leads me onto the rather tenuous link of this months topic which is children. With this being a fashion blog I really ought to throw some style in there so the revised topic is Kids Couture. Rather than put you on a downer about growing up let us instead admire the carefree fashionistas of the younger generation with my run down of the most stylish kids out there.

1. Romeo Beckham
You know that a kid is doing well style wise when they encourage that creepy saying (that could land you with a court order) 'if he was a few years older...' I have heard that muttered from many potential cougars lips following Romeo's campaign for Burberry SS13. But even when he's not had Christopher Bailey's input this kid has enough class to sport Raybans and a quiff at the age of 10. 
(He's laughing at you because he's achieved world domination at an age when you were playing conkers)

2. Suri Cruise
I was going to hold out till the end but I am so unhealthily obsessed with Suri's style that I just couldn't wait. Although some may find it irresponsible to put a 7-year-old in day heels, I feel as though Suri may have had some input (plus she probably is in need of a little boost following hereditary height problems.) With entire fashion blogs dedicated to her and Duchess of Cambridge coveting her style there's just no competing with Suri, Anna Wintour look out! 
(Usually it's the little girl who tries to steel the 
Princesses style)

3. James Wilkie Broderick 
Being the offspring of Carrie Bradshaw (I know she's fictitious) has to have its advantages however it is not Tabatha or Marion who receive style gold here (especially since appearing in Suri's burn book) but James. His combination of Parker coats, shaggy hair, lose knits and uggs are not dissimilar from his Mother's signature New York 'I'm avoiding the cameras' look. Undone excellence.
(Like Mother Like Son)

4. Kingston Rossdale
There is no need to explain Why Kingston is so stylish you just have to Google him to believe it. His collection of different looks and hair reminds me of a street style blog from London Fashion Week! I am slightly tempted by his blue Mohawk.
(Style super hero)

5. Willow Smith
An obvious choice but she had to go in there. Anyone who can rock a pink shaven head at the age of 12 deserves a round of applause and a medal for bravery. 
(She has even perfected the nonchalant Starbucks drinking)


I am leaving this post feeling like the worst dressed person in the world and its quite depressing to think that I envy the style of a 7-year-old. Perhaps I will get Tom Cruise to adopt me as he's at a bit of a loose end and we can create a new invincible style family? Or perhaps it's just time to take a trip to Oxford Street.
