Not Just For Kids: Our Guide to Shopping the Children's Sections

Have you ever seen an adorable kids clothing item and thought, "I wish that came in my size?" This happens to me quite often, maybe because I tend to want to dress like a little girl. Regardless, it's recently been brought to my attention that a kid's size 14 at Crewcuts is about equal to a 0/2 in adult sizing, which is great news, mainly because kids stuff costs less than big girl clothes, but also because they are making some really cute things for kids these days. I may be at the smaller end of the spectrum size-wise (I'm 5'2"), but there are ways for all shapes and sizes to take advantage of the kids' section. There are shoes for the small-footed, accessories, and boys clothes, which run quite a bit larger than girls. You may not be going back to school, but that doesn't mean you can't shop the back to school section right now. So, click through for our favorites from Crewcuts, Brooks Brothers, Stella McCartney Kids and more.

To celebrate, we put together a little shopping guide based on some of our favorite Arrested Development gags--because while it's fun to dress up in costume, we also don't mind buying things that we can wear again.

Our First-Ever Shopping Guide: Toronto!

We know there are a gazillion shopping guides on the web, but truthfully, none of them give us what we want. So instead of looking to others, we've decided to launch a series of city guides ourselves. First up? Toronto. Which city would you like to see profiled next? Email us on tips@fashionista.com. In the 1920s, New Yorkers (and Chicagoans and Detroiters) came to Canada to get their supply of booze. Gangsters like Meyer Lansky, Lucky Luciano and Al Capone made their names, and their millions, with whiskey from the Great White North. A century later, the flow has reversed, and it’s no longer barrels of Canadian Club, but bundles of clothing, making its way across the border. Canadian shops are importing the very best of fashion, and not just from their Southern neighbor, but from the most progressive houses that France, Italy, Scandinavia and Japan have on offer. And they’re looking inwards as well—farming local talent, and curating one of North America’s finest and most eclectic vintage bazaars. Toronto natives Hayley Phelan and John Ortved give us the most from North America’s least known fashion capital.
