Shoe shopping for my kiddos is more like a scavenger hunt for simple, classic styles without any bling or flashing lights . As much as they'd prefer to glow in the dark, I'm pretty sure they'll be just as happy and way more comfortable i…
I will be honest, I don't tend to think of Jacadi as my first back-to-school shopping destination. The name has become synonymous with gorgeous French baby and kids clothing--but also with expensive French baby and kids clothing. However…
Last year, we attended a super-hero themed birthday party, in which the costumed kids were given a card to fill out with their super hero name and power. In a sea of Batmans and Spidermans, I have to say I was just a wee bit proud of my …
Recently, I wrote about Zara and what a fantastic option it is for affordable, European-styled kids clothes, and how amazing their sales can be. The one downside: no online shopping. So 2002! Well now Zara has gotten their e-commerce cap…
I never understood why 90% of baby clothes are either pastel pink or little boy blue. Don't babies have the right to exercise their fashion sense as much as the rest of us? [don't miss a fabulous giveaway after the jump!] We fell in love…
Say goodbye to white pants and linen, mamas. Just fold it it up, put it in up on the high shelf of the closet and slowly back away. I know you can do it. But on the bright side, get ready to welcome all the really wonderful fashion choic…

This morning, my social media streams were in an uproar about a tee for tween girls that declared "I'm too pretty to do homework...so my brother has to do it for me." I can't begin to tell you the number of things wrong with that message…

Every year right about now, I am so excited to whip out my fall wardrobe that I start wearing my new sweaters in hopes of forcing the weather to get cold. It's always too early, which results in an extra-sweaty couple of weeks. I would n…
Even though school days are starting up , it will be a while before my kids will need their new cords and warm sweaters. But the slightly cooler days mean it's time for my girls to toss off their worn-out flip flops and tuck their toes i…
With metallics being all the rage in footwear, our kids can shine in more ways than one this school year. But as with any trend, too much of a good thing can take a metallic detail from "cool" to "disco ball" pretty quickly. So take a lo…

It must be hard to come up with new twists on old baby gear, like sleep sacks, but it seems there's always a smart mom out there ready to devise a brilliant improvement. And if there is, we're going to find her. Or in the case of the Gun…
The last thing I need as a mom of a newborn is an article of clothing that takes actual brain power to figure out how to put on. Give me no-fuss onesies and slip-on pants and I'm a happy camper. I always thought booties fell into the too…
Not every baby comes into this world as soon as its parents expect it to. Some of them are years in the making. And for those special little ones, I think this onesie is a pretty darn cute baby gift. The Worth the Wait babysuit and hat s…
Just when I thought I had seen all the baby booties in the world, I was introduced to these gorgeous Dutch made cuties,, which, for the first time ever are available in the United States and Canada. Lucky us! [Don't miss the awesome give…
Superheroes are so summer 2011--Thor, Xmen, Green Lantern, Captain America have all made the rounds at the movies. It's only a matter of time before my favorite caped crusader gets her day in the sun. This Wonder Woman onesie is the perf…
Today is the official launch of American Eagle's 77Kids Style Lab shop in Times Square, and while that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd utter with any level of excitement, after getting a sneak press preview yesterday I gotta say...I'…
A couple of years ago, my son was perfectly happy with the regular old planes, trains, and automobile shirts. But these days, he's a veritable truck expert, so scarily knowledgeable of all vehicles that those simple shirts he used to wea…
We're always sad to see a small shop we love, like Cat in an Apron, close its doors. But there's a silver lining. At least if you'd like to get 50% off their remaining inventory of beautifully tailored clothing , gifts and accessories. C…
Dressing our little dudes up is no easy task. While it may be fairly easy to go preppy and sport the oxford shirt and khaki pants route, sometimes social events beckon for more rock and roll than country club. A new kids label from a Pro…
The chevron just might be the new hot motif of the season. I'm seeing it everywhere these days, from the new line of bedding at West Elm, to tea towels on Etsy, to the gorgeous little girls' dresses I just discovered from Ode Kids. This …
