The first thing I thought when I saw the little audrey in the city dress was that I really really want one in my size. This black and white micro-polkadot dress is classic and cute in all the right ways. Blue Sky Rocket has a new selecti…
If we just so happened to win the lottery, one of the first places we'd hit on a spending spree would probably be Psychobaby , a Chicago-based boutique that sports some of the hippest clothes, shoes, and gifts for the alternative set. We…
As of late, my daughter the artist has been causing me quite a headache with her adamant desire to wear dresses even while engaging in messy crafts.You'd think a smock would do the trick but in her mind, all that does is cover up her bea…
I'm always kind of bummed when I fall in love with a line of baby blankets or clothes and realize there's nothing left for me from that label once my kids turn toddlers. So it's nice that Portland's Baby Star has been taking their crowd-…
While I appreciate the joys of velcro as much as the next mom, I'm worried that if I don't start introducing actual shoe laces to my 4 year-old soon she'll be learning to tie her sneakers in college. (Right about when she starts eating p…
If I were walking down the street in Chicago and came across Lollie , owned by sisters Mimi and Alyssa Fron, it would be impossible not to go in. Unfortunately 1000 miles stand between me and this adorable boutique which carries practica…
I think the thing that bothers me the most about my kids begging for TV character clothes is that in a way, it makes them look like they watch a ton of television. Or really, like I let them watch a lot of television. Bring on the mommy …
We have been fans of Bella Tunno baby products since the early days, before little retailers like Target discovered how cool they were. It's been a while since I visited their site (they don't need us any more, sniff) and was intrigued b…
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'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…
I realize that shopping at the outlet mall isn't exactly a new concept, except lately, we're finding that even small, indie brands are opening up their own online "factory stores" as an offshoot to their main boutique. So, if you're hold…

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 -…

When I first discovered Scout Baby organic children's clothes at the Bubble trade show a few years ago, it was still a big deal to find fair trade organic clothes that were so soft and so vibrantly colored. Now a lot has changed in that …
Hey, I know tie-dye. Tie-dye involves buckets, little boxes of dye, and an unholy mess, right? Not anymore, actually. Welcome to 2009, and the Jacquard Products Tie Dye Kit . The dye gets mixed in squirt bottles, the soda ash for pre-soa…
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…
I must say, despite the CPSA I still remain most confident by mass produced toys when they're made in Europe. The standards are consistently high, and the products seem made to last more than one kid. Or more than one month as the case o…

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 …
