Our Must Haves For August

Why is it that so many moms are more willing to buy designer duds for their kids than themselves? Whatever the reason, we see it happening big-time with red carpet dressmaker Tadashi Shoji now that he’s announced the debut of this adorable girls collection ($148-$328) this month. Just the thought of his signature tulle work and embroidered lace in saturated gem tones has us planning outfits for upcoming birthday parties, holiday soirees, and flower girl moments.
