A sweet new line for tots and tweens--hold the bling
When I go shopping for my nieces, I often find myself wishing I could just shrink my own wardrobe for them. There are so many brands out there that feel it's necessary to splash sequins all over their duds or plaster them with silly little sayings. Thankfully, there's a new girls-only brand designing adorable clothes that have neither bling nor catch phrases. The label Millions of Colors is an all-girls collection of super-cute separates for mini-sophisticates ages 2-12. Frankly, there's nothing I don't want from this label--for myself. The winter collection is full of pretty cardigans, chic tweed coats and fun ruffle skirts, which I love paired with leggings and Converse.

The bad news is that this isn't a bargain-priced line. The good news is that there's a ton of offerings from the brand on sale right now at Lil Swanky, including the adorable striped dress pictured, regularly $50 on sale for $38. I'll be buying this grey and navy ruffle dress for my niece's birthday next year. After all, I have to think about protecting my status as favorite aunt. -Melissa

Check out the Millions of Colors look book on their site, and shop the clothes on sale at Lil Swanky.
