“You’re never fully dressed without a smile” as the Annie anthem goes, but it doesn’t hurt to also wear coordinating hair accessories, a knockout dress, fancy coat and step-out-in-style shoes. Those who shop for girls want their little miss sunshine to look adorable from top to toes. Styles that go along with what the adult world is wearing are fun for all, especially when manufacturers interpret mini-me clothing that remains age-appropriate. These vendors offer stylish merchandise that’s fashionable, tasteful and well-made. Need immediates?

For basics that go the extra mile, necessories (necessary accessories) from Bella Tunno top the list of must-haves, but it wasn’t always this way. In 2005, founder Michelle Tunno Buelow was a new mom, frustrated because she wanted items she couldn’t find — necessities with panache. With a small goal and a big heart, Tunno Buelow began by selling home-made burp cloths out of her house. Word spread, her brand found wings and other items including Bella Bibs, Binker Pacifier Clips and Diaper Ditties were added. Today, Bella Tunno proudly offers merchants over 400 product styles and options.

One of the tasks on the road to independence for youngsters is being able to get dressed with help. When clothes are easy to deal with, it gives kids an invaluable step up leading to an “I-can-do-it-all-myself” moment. In addition to helping hold up pants, Velcro belts from Myself Belts boost esteem when a potty-training toddler or preschooler manages without adult help. All belts in this line use the company’s patented one-handed Velcro closure and also offer an optional buckle that sits at the child’s waist, but is just to provide a more traditional look.
