The Ralph Lauren Kids' collection: Our 5 favorites for fall and holiday

The Ralph Lauren Kids' collection: Our 5 favorites for fall and holiday
featured partner One of the fun parts of fall for us is looking at all the fun new fashion trends, and getting fun ideas for our own kids. Last week we swooned over the new Ralph Lauren Kids' collection in their adorable fashion show video hosted by Jessica Alba. We thought it would be fun to pull out just a few of our favorite looks from our their new fall and holiday line to share with you.

We love how the denim jacket over fair isle dress updates a classic preppy look.

The tartan skinny jean is so versatile. And we're digging the mixed prints with the ocelot scarf, and how the motorcycle jacket makes it funky.

The fleece moto jacket is a bit softer look than leather, and so cool paired with the jodphurs as an alternative to regular leggings. Don't forget the riding boots!

You can't beat the versatility of a big slouchy sweater that's easily paired over skinny jeans and leggings all winter long.

Trench coats are such a wonderful option for girls with tons of use from fall right through spring. And we're smitten with the addition of the warm, fair isle snood (a.k.a. big honkin' scarf) for colder days.

You can also visit their site to download Madison Beer's new single, Melodies, for free--your kids will love it, trust us.
