Me, oh, I'm just sitting here coveting some sweet new Vans with cartoon characters on them. Okay, so they're not just any cartoon characters; I do have my standards you know. They're the totally rad-meets-wtf Yo Gabba Gabba Vans. They're…
What do you dress your baby in when you want something that's good for the planet, totally comfortable, and also totally cute? We've found quite a few of them over the years and I'm so happy to add Urban Munchkin to the list. [don't miss…
After she watches Lion King, my kid spends most of the day running around in her pink underoos and roaring. She's being Simba, of course. But it's not really a costume she can wear out in public when she's feeling fierce. These t-shirts …
I spent a lot of time in airports last month, and one thing became as clear as an airplane-sized glass of Sprite: Europeans are just uniquely cool. I think they must be born with it. The scarves , the sunglasses, the bags -- and definite…
I'm never far from a good sale, but a great one - well, I just can't pull myself away. And thus is the case with the awesome moving sale at natural boutique UrthChild . You can score great deals on all sorts of fantastic eco-friendly bra…
It's probably pretty clear that my favorite time for shopping is anytime, but I do so love the end of season sales - and what a doozy we found over at Parasols Kids Boutique. If you act fast, you can grab designer duds for your kids rang…
If there were ever a Fall/Winter collection I've been waiting for, it's the one from one of my favorite kid's shoe designers, See Kai Run. And while my kids will probably be in sandals for a few more months down here in the Deep South, t…
Honestly, the number of hoops you have to jump through to sell on eBay these days is crazy (who has the patience?), and I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels like Craigslist is overrun with scammers, cheapskates and crazy people. So…
Here comes Jimmy Bond. He rolls up on a black Big Wheel and requests his favorite drink: chocolate milk; shaken, not stirred. Aunts line up to pinch his cheeks. And I imagine him wearing this effortlessly cool striped shirt and tie combo…
Picking out a baby gift for my brand new niece, Isabella, was incredibly easy when I discovered makaboo --or difficult depending how you look at it. [don't miss a great offer, and giveaway after the jump!] Easy, because the shop has a gr…
After all these years of crushing hard on the cool kid's clothes from Appaman , it's high time that they added an accessories line. And just in time for back to school time . I'm really digging their hats, like the pilot hat in a cool st…
I have a soft spot for nursery rhymes and classic kids' stories, both of which seem to be slowly dying in our age of technology and television. But the folks at Sprout San Francisco have revived one of my favorite tales with a cool new s…
It seemed like yesterday that I was dying to put a hair clip in my oldest daughter's nearly bald little head. And now with her bangs all grown out and her hair all grown in, she really can't leave home without one, so I'm always on the l…
Looking around the mega stores I sometimes think we're supposed to be dressing our boys like country club members or just plain generically. Well hooray for dads Manny Cabrera and Pedro Tuma, and their passion to dress their boys in clot…
The adorable personalized baby onesies from Mitetees are some of our favorite baby shower gifts around here, and they've impressed us again, this time with their brand new line of onesies just for the cool aunts of the world. [don't miss…
Back in my day, kids wore My dad can beat up your dad shirt (well, certain kids) and they were considered oh so hilariously irreverent. We've certainly come full circle since then, haven't we, because the new hilariously irreverent kids …
If your morning routine is anything like ours is, then there's probably a lot of hemming and hawing (that's putting it very politely) about what the kids are willing to wear. Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that we could eliminate all …
We just can't get enough of the adorable knit dolls and beautiful baby mobiles from one of the fair trade pioneers in the kids category, Blabla Kids. They are consistently some of the best baby gifts out there. Truth be told, I'm a bit o…
Estella is one of our favorite NYC boutiques, and it's also Italian for star. (I mention this only because it makes me crave Italian cream cake.) While Estella definitely sells the kind of designer kids clothing that makes you wish for a…
It used to be that celebrities went and made their own line of exercise tapes (yes, tapes), or salad dressings or bad handbags. I'm so glad to see that now some of them are getting into the children's apparel business, with some decent r…
I didn't think it was possible to love Converse sneakers any more that I already do until I stumbled upon their new line of Dr. Seuss shoes and--surprise!--my obsession continues. Now, I don't think I could get away with the adult versio…
I'm all about dressing my kids in festive attire when a holiday rolls around, but I prefer when I can put them in it well beyond that one special day. In other words, no "Happy Independence Day 2010" tees for us today. [don't miss the on…
"My baby will never wear pink," I once said. But I had to eat those words when I discovered that all those gender neutral onesies in melon, lemon, and lime made my darling, olive-skinned daughter look like a zombie. And I have pics to pr…
I've had a heart for the adorably luxe baby clothes from LA's PAIGELAUREN baby since I found them earlier this year. The sweet pastels and softer than soft cottons are exactly the kind of shower gift that steals the stage . But now I'm e…
