Little Prima Ballerinas


Much to my mother's horror, my favorite outfits to wear out to play used to be my dance recital costumes. All you would see as I pedaled my bicycle down the street would be a flash of sparkles, fringe, and ruffles. Although a terrible dancer, I LOVED living the life of a ballerina, outfitted in the most delicate fabrics that spun and twirled with every movement. This fall, designers are drawing inspiration from the dance stage, offering girls clothes will that have her on her tip toes spinning 'round and 'round. Here's just a few we've found:
Jottum Tiranella Tulle Skirt (in light blue and fuchsia)
Pampolina Baby Ballet Embroidered Tee
Lola et Moi Pink Tiered Net Skirt
Biscotti Dress - Neapolitan Princess

Cute and Bubbly


Bubbly personalities deserve a wardrobe just as sweet and bouncy as she is. We've seen the girls bubble skirt trend grow dramatically over the last few years on the runways of big-name designers, but FINALLY we're seeing this youthful style made just for our little fashionistas. Catimini and Deux par Deux have designed their bubble skirts with funky fabrics and adjustable waistbands to keep her looking just a fabulous next year too! Lili Gaufrette turns the trend into a dress, offering two very chic color options: a light blush pink or the oh-so-gorgeous "mink" purple. And believe us when we say that these fabrics are softer than a baby's...well, you know.

On the Edge


Sure, we love it when our kids look prim and proper. But do they? Probably not. Chances are, they want to look and dress like Joe Jonas or Selena Gomez...they want a little edge to their wardrobe. Don't worry, we're not asking you to fray any hems or distress any jeans. Instead, we've found some incredible collections of children's urban wear that will satisfy you both. The Catimini Fall 2008 collection features a stunning line of urban wear for boys and girls, big and small. They've got flare jeans for girls, cargo cords for boys, and some of the most fabulous children's winter hats and mittens we've seen. Meanwhile, Okkies is perhaps the master of urban chic, offering fabulous camos, cargos, and graphic layered tees for boys AND girls. And of course, we can't forget IKKS, who's Denim and Vintage lines defy the standard and put your wild child in something truely rockin'!

Sweet Dreams

I suppose I'm not one to talk about pajamas. Not to divulge T.M.I., but an old tee is enough for me to throw on and curl up under the covers in. But there's something so...I don't know...winter-y about a matching pair of kids pajamas. Makes me think of Christmas morning and long weekends spent indoors playing games. I suppose these childhood memories are why some of the best kids pj sets are made just for kids. We love the children's pajama line, At Home Pajamas, because each pair offers unique patterns to fit his/her personality: cars, kitties, robots, snowboarders, hearts...and even (my personal favorite) cupcakes!

More party favors

birthday party favors

I don't mean to get stuck on this topic, it just seems like all of a sudden I've got a ton of parties on my calender. I'm always jealous of those moms who do a good job on the birthday party favors front. I always feel kind of lame handing out Ben & Jerry's gift certificates when they kids are expecting something neat.
I'm guessing that I couldn't go wrong with these personalized birthday cookies. ... yummy butter cookies with your own personalized message in the frosting on the cookie. Granted the kids aren't likely to spend too much time admiring the artwork before they munch it down. But these Beau-Coup Party Favors are sure to be a hit. They've even got some gifts for older kids and adults.

Easy baby shower gifts

Over the years I've been to my fair share of baby showers. At some point, I fell into the mode of buying the same baby shower gifts regardless of who the new mother was going to be. After a certain number of showers, I can only be so creative and have just run out time.

I've recently found Beau-Coup which is a great resource for baby shower gifts. No more running around from retail store to store trying to find something unique. It's all there at the click of a mouse, no wasted gas or hours trying to find something special.

Even better, when you're putting on the baby shower, they're a one stop shop for baby shower favors. They've got a huge selection of all sorts of neat stuff that will make the event special. I mean, who wouldn't be impressed by personalized mints for your girlfriends shower?

I've got them bookmarked in my browser for the next time I have to put on a baby shower. They are definitely a one stop shop for baby gifts and baby shower supplies that will help make the day a fun and fabulous event.
