Before I had a boy in the house I used to hear all about how hard it is to find cool clothes for boys -- unless you are into tees that say "tough guy." Now that I'm experiencing this firsthand, I was delighted to find Winter Water Factor…
I used to play this game with my son when he was a baby, it was called I put on the sock, you wiggle out of it and lose it . Oh the fun we had. If only Bical Grippers existed back then. Half sock, half shoe, all cool. The lightweight neo…
We haven't spent too much time on christening dresses here, since most of them are just a little foofy for us. However we kindly invite you to have a proper drool over the gorgeousness we've recently discovered from Petits Fournier Child…
Last week my daughter had a playdate with a four-year-old friend and it blew my mind that he was drawing Darth Vader and Princess Leia figures on the sidewalk with chalk. (Actually, I was less blown away by the Princess Leia which was pr…
Last fall, we couldn't wait for the weather to cool off so that we could dress our girls in the gorgeous Kit + Lili winter line. Now it's May and we're itching to save our pennies so we can get our mitts on their new girls' dresses for s…
I'm a sucker for cute kids' tees. You can tell by taking one look at my kids' drawers...er floor. And one of my new favorite eco designers, Barley & Birch , is doing amazing things with photography to create beautiful t-shirts for kids, …
I never really thought the words "eco" and "barrette" would be used in the same sentence, that is until I was introduced to the felt hair clips at Sophia Bella Mia. At first glance, you might think they look like any other cute girl's fl…
In our house, it's not Easter that requires a fancy new spring dress, it's Mother's Day. I can't think of a better excuse to get the girls dressed up in their finest than an excursion to some overpriced prix fixe Mother's Day brunch (fre…
Growing up in the Snoopy generation, I certainly had no idea that the Red Baron was some war reference, and no understanding of the whole Marcie-Peppermint Patty lesbian theory. But I did spent countless sleepover parties with my girlfri…
After my daughter was born, I had to institute a no-smocked-dresses rule in my house after countless handmade gifts from well-meaning relatives somehow relied on this form of embellishment. Thank goodness shops like Livvysue Boutique exi…
For more than 30 years, Swedish kids have been lucky enough to frolic around their IKEA furniture in the iconic stripey clothes from Polarn O. Pyret . And now we've just learned that they're primed for a massive US takeover in 2010, but …
I've always loved the durable, comfy, mix-and-match style of Zutano , ever since I was first pregnant and my BFF tipped me off about this mom-and-pop run boutique brand for kids. And now they've launched a new Itzy Bitzy boutique online …
It's getting tougher and tougher to rock our worlds with kids tee shirts, but when we got a load of the kids tees from San Francisco based Invisible Stripes , we realized that nope, we haven't seen it all. Not by a longshot. First of all…
Now that I have added another daughter to my brood, I have an extra excuse to shop for hair accessories. If I could, I'd go with absolutely every handmade girls' hair clip from the amazing mom-owned Tiny Sweets. I know, I know. That does…
I realize that you probably have no problem finding a cute baby layette for under $25, and for that, I salute you. But to find one made with vegetable dyes out of soft pima cotton? Well that creates a bit more of a challenge. Well, say h…
I hate to admit this but most of the time, my son's dressier outfits are left as complete afterthoughts compared with my daughters' pretty dresses. It's not like he gets all excited to dress up in his tie each day and run around the hous…
If you need another reason to be happy it's spring, just check out Eleven's new Spring line of kids' shoes. A sort of "big sister/big brother" to our fave See Kai Run , Eleven offers children's shoes in bigger-kid sizes 9 to 3. I've gush…
Are you sick of us oohing and ahhing over our favorite girls' clothing for spring yet? No? Good. (Yes? Tough.) Because once again, Beth Miles of Ses Petites Mains is wowing us with her new spring/summer collection of spectacularly gorgeo…
We hit a stretch of gorgeous weather here in Atlanta and aside from making me run out for a pedicure and shave my legs (ha!), these balmy spring days have me packing up all the long sleeved onesies and swapping in the warmer weather baby…
The girls' collection from Lola et Moi is vibrant, it's candy colored, and it's definitely not for wallflowers, people afraid of color, or those who live by the adage that less is more. Which is why it's so exciting for spring. (Also, yo…
I admit to having a bit of euro envy these days, especially after seeing how many cute things are happening with children's clothes across the Atlantic. Our Dutch friend Kellie Smits at Buisjes en Beugels , or BB+++, isn't helping matter…
It was only a matter of time before Mad Men fashion trickled down to the youngsters and we started seeing tailored mid-century styles on the kiddos. I just didn't think it was going to come from Europe. I just got a look at the 50's insp…
Through most of elementary school, my mother dressed me in dresses. When I complained that I couldn't hang upside down on the playground for fear of showing my underwear, she was unsympathetic. That was before Francie Pants , of course. …
It may be a while before the babies I know can slurp down a triple scoop, but that wouldn't stop me from parading them around town in this adorable Ice Cream Cheerleading Stunt onesie. Designed by Ava-Marie Guerrero and available at the …
