Fall Fashion Finds for Little Girls

by Katie Wallace | Updated: October 18, 2016

Fall is one of our favorite times of year for cozy outfits, colorful leaves, and family adventures. Here are a few of our latest discoveries in little girl fall fashion, from beautifully crafted boots to timeless dresses and even a fun superhero cape project!

Manuela de Juan Boots

These stunning boots from Manuela de Juan are a perfect mix of style and function. Handmade in Spain from 100% natural leather, the Pauline Topo Star boots feature a metallic star pattern, side zippers, and fold-over velcro tabs to keep everything secure. The details are gorgeous, the construction is sturdy, and the look is unforgettable.

Manuela de Juan offers a full collection of kids shoes, including ballet flats, loafers, and boots in styles like leopard print, glitter finishes, suede tones, and classic solids. My 2-year-old loves being able to zip her own boots, and I love knowing her feet are protected in such high-quality shoes. You can shop the collection at manueladejuan.com.

For this look, my daughter paired her boots with a striped Gymboree top and ruffle hem, along with patterned navy and plum tights from Matilda Jane Clothing. I love how Matilda Jane mixes contrasting patterns and colors in a way that always feels fun and playful.

PAIGELAUREN Dress

Another favorite piece this season is a casual yet stylish dress from PAIGELAUREN. The soft fabric makes it perfect for both everyday play and dressing up, and it pairs beautifully with leggings on cooler days. PAIGELAUREN is known for timeless designs and high-quality kids clothing that lasts, making their pieces wonderful wardrobe staples. I especially love their soft hues and silky stripes that feel classic yet whimsical.

DIY Kids Superhero Cape

Fashion can also be fun to make! A DIY kids superhero cape is a creative project that doubles as an imaginative gift. All you need are two square pieces of fabric—one for the outside and one for the lining. Make it reversible, add an initial, or sew on a super symbol to personalize your child’s cape. Whether you design a superhero style, a princess cape, or even an ice queen cape, this project is easy! Once you customize your child’s cape, it’s sure to spark hours of pretend play!

You can find our full sewing tutorial here to create your own.

Celebrating Fall as a Family

Fall fashion is even more fun when it’s tied to family memories. My girls love playing in the leaves and carving pumpkins. We’re even planning a trip to a local pumpkin patch soon. From adorable boots and play dresses for girls to creative DIY projects, this season is full of opportunities to enjoy both style and play.

I hope you’re having a wonderful fall season with your family too!

such cute footwear! I love the picture of the little girl in blue with bright red shoes, pushing a carriage. The contrast of the red and blue is very striking.

One thing we love about living in Mérida, MX is how affordable beauty treatments can be. It’s easy to enjoy a little pampering without breaking the budget!

 • 4 bedrooms
 • spacious family room
 • workspace / homeschool room
 • pool to cool off from the heat
 • space for hosting! 

Do you think we’ll find our dream home in Mérida? 😁☀️🌴 We still have one more house to look at!

Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo onl Cerrado los lunes! 😟☀️ We showed up at the zoo only to discover it was closed on Mondays. 

Thankfully, our family has gotten pretty good at pivoting when plans change. Instead of heading home, we set off on a mile-long walk to Centro Histórico Mérida and turned an unexpected detour into an adventure.

We explored local markets, enjoyed tacos and sopa de lima for lunch, and let the kids burn off energy at a park. The Mérida heat definitely called for a treat, so we stopped for fruit bars that cost just 40 pesos (about $2.50) each. We made it home just in time for Juliet’s nap!

Next time, we’ll check the zoo schedule before we go. But honestly, this unexpected change of plans turned into a pretty great day!

✨ Takeaways:

• Travel helps build resilient kids. When plans change, they learn to adapt, stay positive, and enjoy the adventure anyway.

• Some of our best experiences happen when things don’t go as planned. The zoo will still be there another day! 🦓🐊🦛

• We’re growing in Spanish every day. The kids are becoming more confident with pronunciation, casual phrases, and new vocabulary as we navigate life in Mexico.

💬 What do you want to know about our life in Mexico?

Hola from Mérida! 🇲🇽☀️ Our first week has been cha Hola from Mérida! 🇲🇽☀️ Our first week has been challenging and rewarding as we settle into life in Mexico with our 4 kids!

• We’re finding our new normal, discovering favorite stores, trying grocery delivery, getting used to air-drying clothes and doing dishes (no clothes dryer or dishwasher). 

 • We’ve almost finished all steps for receiving our family’s permanent residency cards. Praying for successful completion!

 • Also experiencing frequent tropical afternoon downpours, magnificent and soaking! 🌴

 • Being without city water for 20 hours, which impacted washing dishes and taking showers. We used our rooftop water tank sparingly. 

 • House hunting & touring several long term rental houses; we hope to find a good fit for our stay-at-home lifestyle and hosting too!

I keep reminding myself that we moved here! We’re not just visiting for a few weeks. 🤯😄

Overall, we’re grateful. ☀️🙂 It’s been a good first week, and we’re excited to continue settling in and discovering what life in Mérida has in store for our family!
