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.

Baby Suri in Lili Gaufrette

Hollywood's most beloved baby, TomKat's doe-eyed Suri Cruise, has been spotted in Lili Gaufrette's Lorene Polka Dot Sweater. And we know where you can buy it...ON SALE!! Check out TrendyTogs.com to garb your little star in this adorable layered sweater this fall.

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

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.

Handmade, bespoke fashion from London... ah, it's too good to be true, no delivery yet outside the UK!

apparently, they've got more than 1,000 designs created already (once you do a design, others can buy it). Looks fairly pricey, $330 in the example I saw.

Straight out of Germany...Pampolina!

Wow! Pampolina from Germany, characterized by the special colours, the mix of fabrics, designs and colours, the styles harmonizing completely within the sets, the child-orientated function of the cuts and the high-quality fabrics used.

Pampolina Rustical Turquoise Parka has fall more than covered. Super stylish for your little fashion plate, the flower, mushroom and sequin details keep it kid-cool. Slouchy pockets keep her mittens secure while Pampolina-branded snaps and belt buckle keeps her snug as a bug.

Pampolina Selection pink velvet skirt and shrug fit for any princess. Pampolina did not just make a velvet pink skirt. They made dreams of looking like a fairy princess true. With plumes of gorgeous material gathered firmly in generous pleats, all she’ll want to do is twirl. After she’s too dizzy, she’ll turn her attention to the empire-inspired flowers embroidered just under the elastic waist.

back to school

ok, we're already starting to see some of the stuff for back to school for fall 2007.

according to Sally Lee (Parents Editor), what's hot this year will be:

"We're seeing a lot of preppy and plaid this season — dresses, pants and skirts in corduroy, dark denim, argyle vests and kilts. T-shirts with attitude are also popular. Boys are adopting the "extreme sports" skater or snowboarder look, with baggy pants and jeans and skater shoes. Girls are wearing a tomboy look with a girly edge — cargo pants with a pink bow belt. Boys and girls are wearing lots of fall colors, like burgundy, burnt orange and brown, and stripes are really big. "

With this in mind, here's some neat stuff from one of our favorites for boys, Charlie Rocket or this tough layered, guitar boys shirt from City Threads

for your girls clothes, you can try Pampolina, this girls skirt feels like back to school to me.

Jottum is up!

Yes, our first experience with this fabulous and deep Dutch line, you can see Jottum here.

for me, this Jottum Tanja Skirt and Set is unique in children clothes.

Here's some background on the Dutch brand:

Jottum! is a cry of excitement.

And also the imaginative brand of clothing made in Edam. It owes its fame to Dutch quality and boundless originality.And the name? Well, that's a strange story.Since the 14th century, jots have been appearing in the small Dutch city Edam. Eye-witnesses describe cheeky little chaps with long arms and legs. They always wear yellow caps. Jots simply love cheese, from sweet-milk to cheddar (and even grated). For centuries, the population of Edam has been guarding its warehouses. They were forced to: a hungry jot is resourceful. Between 1920 and 1929 they launched a veritable invasion. Cheeses disappeared by their dozens.Edam was in an uproar.

But the tide turned on 21 June 1929. That night, the seamstress Klaar Klosje caught a sleepy jot. Her triumphant cry Jottum! echoed through the town. (Roughly translated it means "I've got him!") Klaar immediately noticed the jot's cute clothes. After some prodding, the jot admitted that they made their own clothes. And had been doing sofor centuries. In subdued as well as eye-batting colours. And from fabrics that are perfect for adventurers - jots love rough and tumble. Shortly afterwards, the jots entered into a unique agreement with the Edammers. In exchange for 50 kilos of cheese a week, they would help Klaar Klosje to design children's clothes. To express her gratitude, the seamstress named the clothing line Jottum. This agreement with thejots - which is framed and hangs on our wall - has never been changed. Nor has our conviction that children are entitled to the best. This applies to cheese, but equally to clothes.Jottum. Dutch honesty.

Helping Hand

I wanted to pass along some information and was hoping that you may be interested in offering a helping hand. There is nothing more heartbreaking that a sick child. There is a non-profit organization called Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families that is a volunteer-run organization providing year-round recreational and social activities designed to foster supportive relationships for pediatric cancer patients and their families. These children with cancer are fighting the battle of their lives, and organizations like this can offer hope and give them a chance to be a kid during a incredibly difficult time in their lives.

There are so many ways you can help, through volunteering and donations. This organization is under jeopardy, because they are non-profit they depend on donations and volunteers. Please take a minute too look at the website and see if you can help http://www.ocf-ocf.org/fund.html.

Got Muffin Top?

It's the same old story...after kids and those pants just don't fit the same. It's simple not easy. It is possible to get back to pre-baby, but then age slowly trickles in and that 1 cookie becomes equivalent to 4 cookies. And that 2 miles now needs to be 4 miles to have the same affect. The muffin top is just not a happy feeling. Total bummer I know.
