I have the sweetest memory of my babies wearing watermelon outfits in the summertime, with their pudgy little tummies looking like mini watermelons themselves. Summer is of course the season for this sweet treat, so welcome in the warmth with some refreshing fruit and a wardrobe to suit! Florence Eiseman is all about this idea. Her swimsuit ($58) is absolutely adorable with its ruffled watermelon waist. Your tot will hate the idea of putting on a cover-up with such a cute suit, but if you need one for breezy weather, this striped dress ($66 for 2T-3T, $68 for 4-6X) is pretty precious. For playtime, I recommend the tunic set ($95 for 2T-3T, $100 for 4-6X) with its bright pink leggings, but my favorite piece from the line is the baby dress ($65). Seersucker is so perfect for summer, and the watermelon bonnet ($38)? To die for! Don’t let the fruit theme stop at clothes, though – check out this recipe for petite Jell-O watermelons on Oprah’s website. Just note: use water for the kids – save the vodka version for after their bedtime! Florence Eiseman available at Neiman Marcus.
