Babesta Beat: Funky inspiration galore in a handy digital magazine for parents

Babesta Beat: Funky inspiration galore in a handy digital magazine for parents

Even as we still mourn the demise of Cookie Magazine (long live Cookie and their awesome $13,000 children's outfit recommendations) it's nice to see so many free online magazines for parents popping up like Lille Nord and Moomah. And now there's one new one that's even more convenient--because it's shoppable. Click over to the Babesta Beat, from one of my favorite funky NYC kids shops, Babesta. You'll find beautifully photographed info about their newest brands, an It List of cool trends for kids, interviews with designers and a great story about 10 year-old deejay Fulano Librizzi and some of his music recommendations. I kind of like him just for including Blame it on the Boogie.

Now of course this is as much a catalog as a magazine, so obviously it's Babesta product-focused but considering they sell these insanely cool Doc Maartens inspired rainboots for kids, it's a joy to browse.

Or very likely, buy. Check out Issue 1 of Babesta Beat. It's free! Though the boots are not. Also shop the selection at the online shop, Babesta.
