Euro style for your-o little ones
The announcement of a new online children's clothing boutique is not necessarily big news these days, but when the store in question stocks chic, luxurious finds from Europe, my ears perk up. The story behind Cochonnet Boutique goes something like this. A mom from Canada becomes utterly obsessed with the je ne sais quoi style of French children and thinks to herself 'why can't my kids and other non-Frenchies have that sort of uniquely gorgeous wardrobe without hopping on the next Air France jet?'

Cochonnet carries beloved EU brands such as Talc, TroiZenfantS and La Queue de Chat. And if those mean nothing to you, then prepare to drool. In fact, browsing the site is the closest thing I'll get these days to a shopping spree at Galeries Lafayette and I'm enjoying the virtual trip.

My faves are this graphic eco-friendly onesie (I am a boy mommy, after all), the adorable girls' summer party dress, and the very cool sleeveless top with an attachable necklace (I would totally wear it!).

Bargain shoppers: Cochonnet is not the site for you. Rather, this is the place I would come for incredibly special birthday outfits, or a baby gift for a really, really good friend. -Melissa
