Now that I have a boy, I finally get it. The boy stuff at kids' clothing stores is generally eclipsed by the bows, the polka dots, the kimonos, the bum ruffles. And then the boy gets a plain old striped shirt or a lame-o teddy bear when …
So I admit that this whole adult romper trend scares me just a little, mostly because my body is not cut out for any sort of one-piece clothing item not meant for a beach. But my daughters, on the other hand, look absolutely fabulous in …
Certainly you have a whole list somewhere of all the funny things your kid has said. My youngest daughter named her stuffed horse Puke Bok, and the oldest has been known to say things like I'm not licking the gingerbread house..I'm just …
I'm not sure how I didn't know about the Jim Henson store , but I didn't. And I love Jim Henson, because really, who doesn't? The guy was in an Apple Think Different ad, for pete's sake, along with Picasso and Lucille Ball. While parents…
I'm all for putting my 5-year-old daughter in so-called "boy" dinosaur shirts, though her obsession with pink and all things girlie stomps my efforts. But now I shall strike back and win with the DinoGirl shirt from Jusami . This adorabl…
C an you think of a good source for cute rocker-girl clothes for toddler girls? I'm doing this whole rock n' roll birthday party for a 3rd bday and want to get her a fun outfit. -Tara I have a few favorites that immediately come to mind …
Back when my kids were outgrowing their outfits every three months, it pained me to have to restock their wardrobe continually. It wasn't just the cost, it was the time it took to select each item. That's why I'm intrigued by the new eas…
With my kids still completely obsessed with their age and name, I'm always on the look out for cool letter and number t-shirts that won't break the bank. Who knew I could look no further than American Apparel for exactly what I've been l…
Would someone I know please get married soon? And while you're at it, lend me a baby boy to bring ? Not because I actually want to carry around a baby at a wedding (what if I leave him on the buffet table when I put him down to get secon…
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Shivani and Neha Gupta, the two young, talented sisters behind the organic children's clothing line, Sama Baby , and let's just say I'm glad I did. Although my kids might be more glad because they'r…
Normally, wire coat hangers kind of skeeve me out. The way they get all tangled together makes me a crazy person. Therefore, you must understand what it takes for me to fall in love with anything made of wire with a pesky hook on top. Th…
Considering how much we drooled over the new Stella McCartney for Gap kids and baby collection, we were awaiting her new spring line with much anticipation. Well, it launched today and once again, we're smitten. The line itself sings of …
As the mother of a fashion-conscious tween, I am here to tell you that sizes 10-14 or so are a forgotten wasteland when it comes to outfitting your kid. Little kid clothes are plentiful and varied, but the choices taper off with each suc…
This will be the first Easter in a very long time that we'll actually be celebrating with extended family. Other than a plane flight with three young children (help!), the toughest item on my agenda will be tracking down cool Easter best…
I grew up in the heyday of Mad Magazine and Wacky Packages and clearly my son has inherited both my twisted sense of humor and appreciation for fine parody. We both did a happy dance when we saw these new kids' Wacky Pack T-shirts from 1…
I have always loved pretty much everything at KLT:Works . Kristin Loffer Theiss makes the beautiful artwork, plush, nursery decor and apparel that just makes you smile in every way. And I'm smiling even more since discovering that for St…
If your girls wear Monkeybar Buddies under their dresses as much as mine do, then you'll be just as tickled as I was to learn that they now offer a leggings style as well. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then get ready fo…
We all know Alice in Wonderland is crazy hip right now, but let's be honest - not all Alicey-items are swoon-worthy. This one, however? Is. The collection of Alice in Wonderland themed tees at Pajama Squid come to you from Australia's He…
I am generally frustrated with all the embellished girls' pants out there are covered in flowers, sequins, sparkles, or (eek) all three. So when I got wind of the Sejong Dragon Pant from CMP fave Tea Collection I thought, fabulous ! Or, …
One thing we know about Psychobaby , is that when they come out with something new, it's going to be everything we adore--clever, quirky and, of course, cool. Currently we're now drooling over their new Custom Shop of personalized tees f…
I adore Splendid 's adult line for myself. And when I first discovered they applied trademark stripey, stretchy, soft clothes to a babies and kid line (thanks to a cousin with great taste in shower gifts ), I got a little more tingly tha…
I'm not sure when exactly my humble borough of Brooklyn, New York became cool, but there seems to be evidence of it, from the occasional celebrity sightings in my local diner, to people saying, "oh you live in Brooklyn? Cool." So while a…
This past fall I got a look at some of the new spring kids fashions on the runway, courtesy of our friends at Vogue Bambini.The theme was Garden Style, so there were plenty of flower baskets, clogs , and fun florals - just the thing to g…
Valentine's Day or not , I am so taken with the new heart pajamas from Kideko, it's almost a shame that they're designed to be worn in the dark. The color is wildly vibrant in person, reminiscent of European brands like Kit+Lili and Plas…
