On May 6, Sarah Jessica Parker took a stroll with her Mini Mes in their N.Y.C. neighborhood.

And we couldn’t help but smile at Tabitha and Loretta‘s aww-worthy ensembles.

Both girls, 3½, paired peasant style frocks with leggings (Loretta’s wearing Luna Leggings Spring Moon Footless Tights, $29) and light jackets.

But it was their fun accessories — pom pom headbands, funky beaded jewelry and comfy shoes — that really took their outfits to another level of cuteness.

SJP’s little fashionistas are wearing Chewbeads‘s new Juniorbeads necklaces ($19.50), which are made of 100 percent silicone, heat-resistant, chemical free and super easy to clean.

Loretta’s also rocking Yosi Samra‘s red polka dot ballet flats ($48).

As a style-conscious mom of three kids of varying ages (1, 12 and 19), I’ve seen and bought it all when it comes to children’s fashion.

But I’m also cost-conscious, so I love chic brands like Jacadi that make high-quality, classic pieces that I can pass down or on to friends.

And I’m in good company: celeb moms including Jennifer Garner and Katie Holmes are also fans of this French-based clothier.

From striped sailor rompers and plaid frocks to polka dot sun hats and polo shirts, check out my top picks from Gilt’s sale.

Leave it to the Alba-Warrens to make Mother’s Day a stylish affair.

On Sunday, the family of four, along with Jessica Alba‘s mom Catherine, stepped out for a celebratory lunch at the Bel Air Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. And everyone looked so chic.

Alba paired a belted Ella Moss Stella Racer Back Dress in khaki ($268) with silver platform sandals, while husband Cash Warren wore a black and white gingham short sleeve shirt with cream trousers and black boat loafers.

To complement mommy and daddy’s spring-worthy attire, Honor, 4½, and Haven, 18 months, both donned pastel-colored party frocks with metallic ballet flats. Honor even brought along a few doll pals.

“We all know flowers, cards and candy are a welcome sight on Mother’s Day,” says new mom Lisa Osbourne, here with 1-year-old daughter Pearl.

“However, I think any mom would appreciate something she can really use consistently or something she would love but wouldn’t buy for herself rather than something that has to be eaten or thrown away.”
