Where the Inspiration Flows: Los Angeles Beaches

Picture this moment: a sun-kissed afternoon at Santa Monica Pier, the golden sands beneath your feet, and a cool breeze weaving through the air. That effortless blend of beauty and fun symbolizes the essence of our "Down by the Seashore" collection.


Every dress in this collection is a love letter to Southern California’s coastline. The vibrant floral prints reflect the lush, diverse flora seen along Malibu trails. The soft pastel tones mirror the watercolor hues of Venice Beach sunsets. And those breezy, flowing silhouettes? They take a cue from the playful waves lapping against the shore. Because even if your plans don’t include surfboards, these girl dresses are perfect for picnic outings, birthday parties, or twirls in the backyard.


This collection ensures the spirit of the west coast translates no matter where in the world you call home—from bustling east coast cities to serene Midwestern towns.

Design Details Worth Obsessing Over

What sets the "Down by the Seashore" collection apart isn’t just its inspiration but the extraordinary attention to detail crafted into each piece. Here’s why these girl dresses deserve a spot in your wardrobe lineup:

1. Playful Patterns & Breezy Fabrics


Take the Hai Hai Petals Dress as an example! This cheerful dress is adorned in bold prints of blues and yellows, echoing the brightness of sunny beach days. Designed with ultra-light cotton fabric, it’s as practical as it is playful, making it the perfect choice for a warm afternoon adventure.



2. Coastal Pastels Meet Contemporary Cuts


Looking for elegance that doesn’t sacrifice comfort? The Malibu Colors Tiered Dress hits every high note. The multi-colored stripes (think soft green, pink, and lemon hues) are perfect for spring photoshoots. The easy tie-straps bring flexibility, while the tiered silhouette creates a breezy, show-stopper-worthy movement. 



3. Delicate Details with a Timeless Twist


For something utterly dreamy, meet the  Coquette Ivory Dress. This sleeveless beauty features a tiered, voluminous skirt perfect for twirling, paired with a subtle checkered texture that feels effortlessly chic. It’s picnic-season ready!



4. Baby-Approved Style


Don’t think the littlest fashionistas have been left out! The  Blake Baby Toddler Dress  wraps your little one in breathable cotton, complete with ruffled shoulder straps and understated elegance. Perfect for a beach day or grandma’s garden party.


Every piece focuses on what matters most to you as a parent or gift-giver. Soft, durable fabrics keep kids comfortable, while machine-wash friendly care instructions mean less stress for you (yes, actual applause from busy parents everywhere!).
