It had to happen eventually - -first Cookie Monster, and now pirates have gone on a health kick. Now your wee sea raider can easily sport a message of terror best befitting his or her station in life (right at the highchair) with these a…
I think somewhere in my heart I'm a damn dirty hippie with all this suppressed nostalgia for the Woodstock era. Of course that would be the Pepsi commercial version of Woodstock, where all the guys are hot and shirtless, the tie-dyes are…
I have two boys, and while I adore them, I've always felt like I missed out a little when it comes to shopping, because boys really get the short end of the stick for play clothes. I'm especially feeling that way now that I've seen the b…
Just when I think I've seen every hair clip known to man (or diva-in-training), I discover the adorable children's barrettes from artist Hayley Hackler of Flying Frog Apparel. She takes fabric scraps and buttons, layers them, and refashi…
Just when we think we're over the skull trend, something cute comes along and makes us go aw okay -- just one more . And right in time, because skulls are coming back to kidswear with a vengeance this fall from what we've seen. In this c…
As the weather starts to really heat up, I'm inclined to just leave my youngest daughter in a onesie and call it a day. But the bright, adorable hot weather onesies from Brooklyn Junior have a little something extra that doesn't make it …
From hour-long swim lessons to screaming leaps over our backyard sprinkler, my daughters will spend much of the summer in their bathing suits. That's why we're turning to the swimwear from Girls4Sport which boasts a line of swimsuits mad…
I've already espoused a bunch of fabulous bloomers this season, mostly due to their versatility and all-around cute factor, and our latest find, the adorable one-of-a-kind "Fortune Cookie" Shorties from Handmade Charlotte , make a pretty…
It took me a while to get past my weirdness about little girls in bikinis, until I realized that it's actually way easier for diaper changes. But I still prefer bandeau style tops or halters, so I was glad to see that Mama Om has added a…
This hand-appliqued butterfly girls tank dress is the kind of thing you spot in a boutique and immediately need to have. It comes courtesy of the mom-run emporium Chubby Delicious who I first encountered at a Baby Loves Disco party, so y…
When we got word that there's a company doing cool things with kidswear made of vintage feed sacks, I have to say that the terms romantic, delicate, soft and cozy didn't exactly spring to mind. But that's just how I would describe the be…
I may have mentioned once or forty times that our family spends a lot of time in the pool . Which means that we buy bathing suits and board shorts as part of the new baby layette. Problem is, it's not that easy to find cool swimwear size…
Dust off your angst-filled Sub Pop vinyl and practice your disenchanted eye roll, because flannel is back big time and you don't have to wait until fall to get your hands on it. Junior rock star outfitters Slick Sugar have a nifty little…
While we're not generally fans of the "my heart belongs to daddy" school of baby tees, I think we can safely agree that on Father's Day, wrapping your daddy's girl or boy in a soft comfy shirt that proclaims their love for the Big Guy wi…
Kids' clothes, almost by definition, are adorable, but every now and again something comes along that's so incredibly off the hook like Robotcha shirts. These t-shrits with fun, quirky, robot-y designs are the brainchild of Shawn Hazen -…
So it's officially June (how did that happen?) and of course my kids do not yet have sandals. Poking around the web this weekend, I saw these Siaomimi children's sandals online at Popodona and I think I'm in love. They remind me of the k…
I just opened the baby onesies that came in from the mail from Angel Dear and suddenly I found I had a little catch in my throat. Something about the teeny teeny little size and that tag reading newborn just made me all sentimental for t…
We probably get more reader requests for cute wedding clothes for kids "that aren't, you know...wedding-y" than nearly any other. And now that San Francisco-based Velvet and Tweed has opened their online shop, far more parents can breath…
My daughter has a thing for flip flops these days, probably because she sees me wearing them all the time. So I did a dumb thing and bought a cheap pair of kids' flip flops from a big mall store. I think these mall flip flops are made of…
When I moved to the Deep South almost 10 years ago, I admit it was a bit of a culture shock. Okay, I lied. It was a whole heckuva shock. Clearly I wasn't the only person that saw the humor in aspects of the culture, as you can tell from …
Maybe I'm just a German tourist at heart or something, but I do like that look of knee socks on my kids. Okay, so not with khaki shorts and sandals--but it can totally kick a pair of Mary Janes and a short skirt into gear. Pork Chop Kids…
I'm on a British kick for absolutely no reason these days, which is why I've had the British flag t-shirt from Childish Clothing bookmarked for ages. I love the distressed look and how the word RAD is spelled out in Scrabble tiles. This …
I wasn't sure what to think of Belle Heir's fine vintage children's clothing when I first visited their website, but the more I browsed through, the more fascinated I became by the clothing made when my parents, grandparents, and even gr…
One of our secret tips that we now share with tens of thousands of you all is that if you're looking for great discounts, check out the Australian labels that we feature here time to time. Because their seasons are backwards (although th…
