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.

💡 Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! 💡 Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

🧳 Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

🥪 Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafés become our favorite spots. 

🏞️ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

📱 Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

🔦 Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations.

Our kids are our biggest fans 🙌🎬 Making YouT Our kids are our biggest fans 🙌🎬
Making YouTube videos of our family adventures has been such a great way to share and save our family memories. We watch our vids all the time, which take us right back to the special moments. Our audience is growing slowly, but it’s really not about that at all!

Because we travel with our kids, our children are brave and adventurous — willing to try new things and eager to problem solve. Adventurous kids are resourceful kids!

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. ⛲️✨ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. 📸 We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome! 

Have you been to the Trevi Fountain? What was your experience with the crowds?

🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! 🌉 Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! 🇬🇧

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

✨ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

It’s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for London’s engineering and history. 💙

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? 😄
