A few weeks ago, I had the chance to preview the Children’s Place summer collection, which includes a variety of super cute outfits, accessories and special collections. I spotted a lot of fun, jewel-toned and vibrant prints for girls, but my favorites for the little ladies were the skirts and shoes that evoked the cool bohemian-inspired style. The metallic sandals for girls though, yeah, I wanted a pair for myself.
If you were to inspect my son’s closet, you’d find no less than 80% of his clothes from TCP; I religiously stock up during sales and after seasons and stash for the next size up. Needless to say, I’m a fan of the modern, but slightly edgy aesthetic, which TCP pulls off so well. Their boys’ styles for this summer are full of the utilitarian and surfer/skater looks, with a punch of their own vibrant prints—one that I could’ve sworn was a licensed print, but wasn’t.

And by the way, this season’s TCP collection brilliantly included my favorite and most practical summer accessory ever. Their towel/backback is genius. If you spend time at the beach, lake, river, pool, waterpark—anywhere involving water and carrying very little—this towel backpack is a necessity. We got great use out of ours when we went out to Sesame Place a few weeks ago.
Just in time for family gatherings over Memorial Day weekend and July 4th, Children’s Place also has an Americana-inspired line that embodies both the modern and classic style, while staying true to summer comfort. Between boys and girls, there’s plenty of opportunities to go the matchy-match route, but why go there when you can contrast with the reds, blues and Americana prints and look just as cute, if not cuter.
Speaking of cute, if you’re a Real Housewives of New York fan, I heard Bethenny Frankel was shopping for her baby, Bryn, and shooting scenes for her new BRAVO show, Bethenny Getting Married?, at The Children’s Place store in New York’s Union Square. And apparently, she’s a fan of the Americana collection as well.
