Picaflor Kids

When you hear "Picaflor" what comes to mind? If you speak Spanish you're probably thinking "hummingbird." Which is why it's the perfect name for the whimsical line of children's clothing I'm going to share with you today. Because as their motto states, these clothes are "for busy little wings." My little girls flit about all day like busy little birds and I'm sure a lot of your kids do the same.

My little birds were blessed to receive the Julia Peasant Dress in two of the three available colors. My four year old has been sporting the mint/hot pink version while my busy little toddler has been skipping along in her grape/teal dress. And I've been sitting back and admiring their adorableness!

We decided to wear these for the first time when we went to church on Sunday. So many other mommies complemented me on their dresses. They were a huge hit!

I seriously LOVE these dresses. They remind me a lot of the clothes the children of a NYC designer I recently met were wearing. Very simple and classic, while fun and uncommon. In a word...PERFECT!

All Picaflor Kids clothing is 100% Rayon. This natural fiber is soft, wicks away moisture, is hypoallergenic and hangs so lovely. Unlike many other nice clothing brands, Picaflor Kids clothing is machine washable and dryer friendly. YES! I hate hand wash only or dry clean only clothing for children, seriously, what busy mom actually likes that? I'm so happy these dresses are so mommy friendly!

I'm a little biased toward clothing for little girls. I can't help it, I don't have any sons so I don't pay much attention to boy clothing. However, I couldn't help but notice the stylish outfits they have for boys. This little Guayabera Shirt makes me think of Chandler on Friends. I love that show and love the laid back style. I could actually picture my husband wearing this in a daddy size. So if you're a mommy to boys Picaflor Kids has styles you just might like as well.

Before you rush off to check out all Picaflor Kids has to offer, which you'll definitely want to do when I give you a code for a 10% discount, I want to let you know that Nancy Coronado, the founder and designer of these adorable duds, has established a relationship with a family-owned clothing maker in Peru. When you purchase Picaflor Kids clothing a percentage of the profits will be directed to charities that benefit the children of Peru. It's her way of giving back to her home country.
