Take a deep breath and get ready for an ovary-explosion, because the folks at J. Crew’s Crewcuts have cast some adorable little whippersnappers. Free shipping!
Kudos to the art direction team — construction paper is an under-utilized medium. And kudos to whomever got that little boy to wear lavender sneakers. Whether he knows it or not, they’re awesome.
Hair! +Sneakers! = Awesome.
This kid! That face. This image actually made me want to reach for my credit card and the phone. “I’ll take him!”
If you discover that I have painted my bedroom a rich midnight blue and affixed glittery origami-paper stars in the place where the headboard should be, you’ll know why. Don’t judge me.
Love: The ruffles, the plaid, the jewelry, the nail polish, the sass.
Hate: The lipstick.
What he have here is the age-old bifurcation of the human spirit: Joy and pain. Comedy and tragedy. “Whee!” and “This sucks.”
This blush is a much better use of makeup than the pink lipstick we saw previously.
Gasp! A tiny ham! I IM’d this image to Anna Holmes, who replied, immediately, “WANT.” Sigh. If only we could all be like this: young, carefree, with spiral paper hats! Except without the socks pushed between the toes so the sandals fit.
Has the catalog used this wee pixie before? Yes. Does she remain a delight? Yes. (And so Amelie Jr!)
“Avast ye mateys! Let us sally forth by the light of the construction paper moon!”
GAH!!!!
The author was not able to write a caption here, because she, as the saying goes, “died from the cute.” Do not be alarmed. This is only an internet-based expression which conveys that a person has become overwhelmed with excitement or feeling and, in the throes of thrill, cannot manage to type anything coherent. Thank you for your understanding.
