I love seeing beautifully crafted, pretty, age-appropriate clothes for children. And Oscar de la Renta’s Childrenswear line for Spring and Summer 2013 is all that and more.

The silhouettes were clean and classic from shorts to shift dresses to polos and party dresses. The clothes were at the same time wearable, playful and dressy. Perfect for a wedding, birthday party and — for some styles — a non-P.E. day at school.

Colors were reminiscent of cool waters and beautiful bright flowers: ocean blues, turquoise, limes, magentas, and azaleas were all over the runway as well as seersucker stripes, bursting florals, ikat prints and pretty eyelets. I know we’re heading into Fall, but this makes me want to fast forward to next Spring!

And of course, how fun is it to see fashionable mommy friends? At the end of the show, I spotted Rebecca Gruber from Lil Sugar and Nicole Feliciano from Momtrends.
