Recently we wrote about the splurgey loveliness that is Caramel Baby + Child, a UK label specializing in the stuff a lot of us dream of dressing our children in, but not necessarily at retail prices. Well now, they're less. The Caramel B…

Can you feel it? There's been a great disturbance in the world of footwear, as if millions of Ewok-sized voices had just cried out in excitement: "Mommy, those shoes breathe like Darth Vader!" The Star Wars by Stride Rite Vader Light & S…
We've always loved supporting the Etsy artists making handmade birthday crowns and hats for birthday parties and special days thereafter. (Like, Tuesdays. Or Fridays.) But here's one, in honor of all the royal baby talk this week, that j…
