For tots (or parents!) who love luxury, your dream boutique has officially arrived in the Melrose District. Posh Kids is where you can find the hottest, high-end labels in European fashion for label loving little ones sizes 2 to 12 without flying across the pond. Unique clothing and accessories, along with top notch service are definitely the name of the game here. And what a pretty, pretty game it is.

Posh Kids’ shop is so stunning, it’s hard to believe it’s geared toward the same small pint set who were just wiping drool on their sleeves seconds ago (with pinkies out of course). Upon entering, it feels more like a gorgeously chic boutique you ‘d pop into with girlfriends along Rodeo Drive. Vogue cover-worthy boys’ and girls’ clothing, footwear and accessories fill the store to the brim in both casual and more formal fancy pants styles with prices ranging from $60 to $600. The store’s super attentive and knowledgeable staff offers personalized service and private fittings with a personal stylist if you’re looking a little extra TLC.

The store opened just in time for the holidays, and the huge selection of designer handbags and formal dresses by brands like Hucklebones and Lili Gaufrette were extremely popular for holiday dress up, and remain some of the chicest items currently available in store. (So when the next wedding invitation arrives for the whole family, this shop should be your first stop!)

Though their Spring/Summer 2015 collections have yet to hit the floor, Posh Kids is already looking ahead to warmer months and the fashionable finds it will bring. Expect a huge rise in floral and animal print patterns, whether on dresses or harem pants as the upcoming season is all about these fresh and intricate designs. For girls, must-haves include any frilled dress from the Roberto Cavalli SS15 collection such as “Yellow Citrus” and “Vintage Rose and Leopard”. They’re lightweight, uber posh and scream Spring. (Which we’re all ready for – it did rain for like 5 whole days!) For boys, Mayoral’s blue cotton and linen blend shorts should definitely be top of mind. Style these lovelies up or down with a trendy tee or bright linen button up and your mini mogul will be dressed to impress.

Yes, we dress them in every day play clothes most of the time, too. But when you need to put on the dog for a spiffy event, or just slip a few cool pieces into their wardrobe to mix and match (as every serious fashionista does), this is just the spot for you.

Reader Discount: Posh Kids is happy to offer a 10% discount to first time buyers that mention RED TRICYCLE. This can be tacked on to any on-going promotions, including the Winter Sale Event they’re currently promoting with savings of up to 30% on select AW14 merchandise.

Parent bonus: Alfred Coffee & Kitchen’s newest outpost is literally right around the corner from Posh Kids, so you can easily stay fueled for a day of shopping fun.

Here at Red Tricycle we have a soft spot for mamas with moxie, and when we came across Atlantan and Broxies co-founder Angie Bryan, she certainly fit the bill. After sharpening her shapewear skills at Spanx, she partnered with Sandy Nearman on a start-up company that makes an all in-one underwear and shorts combo so little girls can twirl, jump and tumble in their dresses without needing an extra layer of coverage. We can’t thank her enough for protecting our princess’s patootie and wanted to poll her for her local loves. Read on to hear what this multitasking mom (of son Lennon, age 3 and a baby girl due in October) has to say…

Where do you like to take the kids to eat? We love Taqueria del sol in Decatur and Yeah Burger in Virginia Highlands. I could probably name 20 more but those two are at the top of my list. The food is good and fast, a key component when dining with a toddler.

Which playgrounds and parks are on your regular playlist? The Piedmont park playground (the one with the fire truck) is awesome because you get the entire park along with it. Lennon is obsessed with the fire truck and typically there is a required conversation about sharing. When it’s hot, the sprayground and playground at O4W are fantastic. We bounce back and forth between the spraying water and the swings. (Read more about these playgrounds by clicking here.)

You are expecting. What’s your pregnancy must-have? Lately I have loved my leopard leggings because I can dress them up or down depending on what my day looks like and they are not your standard maternity item. My Bump Nest pregnancy pillow; my Mama Spanx, of course (especially as things start expanding—smoothing and support have become vital!), and a salt bagel with Jalapeno cream cheese from Bagel Palace in Tocco Hills.

What do you like most about being an Atlanta parent? I love all of the local food options as well as the more off-the-beaten-path options on Buford highway. My son loves the 4 dollar bahn mi at Lee’s Bakery as much as he does the pretzel bread from H & F Bread. I also love all of the neighborhoods within Atlanta. Each one has its own niche of types of food, people and entertainment.

What do you like least about being an ATL parent? The worst thing about Atlanta is the traffic, I live in town and it never ceases to surprise me how crazy the traffic can be. And, the waiting lists for everything! Daycare, swim, soccer…breakfast, everything!

Other favorite tot spots to enjoy in town? Grant Park Farmer’s Market, Catch Air, High Museum, Brickstore, Antico Pizza, Atlanta Botanical Garden, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, Atlanta Children’s Mueseum, True Food Kitchen, Cooks Warehouse‘s cooking classes with kids, All Fired Up in Emory Village.

What fall fam-friendly event are you most looking forward to this year? Hands down the Chomp and Stomp Chili Cookoff (Nov. 1st in Cabbagetown). Yum!

Broxies are available online at www.broxies.com.
