We've adored the gorgeous baby and kids luxury brand Jacadi since we first discovered them at our own baby showers (thanks to some very generous friends!). The name conjures up what you might imagine from any top-of-the-line French cloth…
Remember your pre-baby years when you would gazing longingly at the adorable baby and toddler clothes in your favorite stores just dreaming of the day when you would be part of the world with a valid reason to buy them? That was exactly …
I feel like, every fall, I end up on on a mission to find handmade sweaters and other goodies that have that little extra bit of TLC knitted in. You know, like someone made them just for my kids Robbie Carmack of RCforkids is pretty much…
Is Anthropologie suddenly going the way of Jacadi, with upscale children's clothes made by small designers? It certainly seems that way. In October they brought in Kico Kids, and now Handmade Charlotte is following suit. This splendid Ha…
While most of us will give thanks on Thursday for Thanksgiving, there will also be many families giving thanks today, for National Adoption Day which falls almost midway through November's National Adoption Month. In honor of this specia…
So here's some fun news: We're so excited to be this week's guest bloggers at the Lucky Kids site this week! We've put together 5 picks for a handmade holiday , featuring 5 fabulous handmade items that we're crushing on hard. Click over …
Please tell me I am not the only one with such nostalgia for some of our baby clothes, that I've saved them. The little peasant dress from Mexico, the smocked dress from a great-grandmother, the onesie with the swallow tattoos on the che…
Let's face it: If Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter had twins, they would look just like this, and Johnny Depp would give them a set of onesies like this at their Beetlejuice-themed baby shower . The Skeleton Love Kids organic shirt fr…
Ask my mom, and she'll tell you that she knew I was a writer from the moment I was born, or at least from the moment I started scrawling my first story on the wall in... um... nevermind. Too bad they didn't have this onesie back then. Th…
I have a soft spot for Anthropologie ; their clothes have a kind of romanticism that makes me want to run off to Paris and spend my days eating macaroons in little sidewalk cafes. But this fall, Anthro brings that same dreamy style to ki…
I've loved the spectacularly gorgeous, understated kids wear from Shirin NYC since first discovering them a few years ago. This is the kind of clothing I spot in a boutique, and the second I touch the silky cotton, I (attempt to) start j…
The cutest little girl in my daughter's class always wears this fuzzy vest to school, and I'm trying to use it to convince my daughter to ditch her own awful one that a relative gave her years ago and upgrade to a new one. (Those fuchsia…
One of the best things about having a baby is knowing how loved she is by so many people, even before drawing her first breath. Gifts that express that very sentiment just might be my favorite. Another thing I love: this organic baby gif…
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…
I don't know about you, but I'm totally addicted to all the flash sale sites out there. These days you can snap up everything from design-y coffee tables to contemporary art at awesome prices. Now, one of my favorites, Rue La La , has la…
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…
I've said before that the moustache is the hipster icon of 2011. And now, it's hitting the world of kids and baby clothes too, courtesy of one very popular designer. [don't miss a special offer after the jump] The Stella McCartney Kids c…
Every year, I promise my kids one special back to school outfit, and now that it's officially September (eek!) I guess it's that time again. Generally I'm a big believer in $8 jeans, but one splurge always seems reasonable, especially wh…
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…
I'm all about finding ways to make life easier, especially when there's a newborn at home. To that end, we raved about the clever designs from Magnetic Me (formerly Magnificent Baby) when it first launched. The magnetic closure baby clot…
As if I needed more cute kiddie clothes to covet, an uber-hot European shopping site for kids under 14 is launching stateside, with free shipping to boot. Hold on to your credit cards! Alex and Alexa is every fashionista-in-training's dr…
This post is brought to you by our sponsor, Up All Night , the new NBC show starring some of the coolest and funniest parents on TV like Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph. When I was pregnant with my first daughter almos…
When you enter the solid food stage of babyhood, you see how messy a tiny baby can really be. Newborn spit-up has nothing on mashed bananas and avocado, right? The Moxie Bib is one of those why-didn't-I-think-of-that mom inventions that …
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…
