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, …
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 …
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…
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…

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 …

With my mother-in-law the faithful member of her local Irish Club who makes Irish Potatoes from scratch every year, you can bet we're pretty big on the Saint Patrick's Day celebration. But while I might slug the green beer and and chow d…
