• Babble Review: Zah Organic Clothing

  I've not made the commitment to dressing Devin completely in organic clothing (that would require a level of income and fastidiousness that I just don't have), so I was excited to test out Zah Organic clothing by Go Natural Baby. The line is made from 100 percent certified organic cotton, uses only low impact dyes and heavy metal-free zippers and snaps and is made under fair trade practices.  So I definitely feel better about dressing my son in it, but how was the performance?

• A Halloween-y Onesie With Much Monster Love

  More October-specific attire from me today. If you have the kind of infant that simply won't abide by sweltering store-bought Halloween costumes — those elaborate Babystyle get-ups are cute for the span of one snapshot, then comes the screaming — here's a more non-committal option. A crew of gruesome gorillas grunt "I Love You" on this off-beat hand-screened organic cotton onesie. The Halloween spirit is there and your little fuss-budgets are blissfully unaware. $16, Reform School.   Posted Oct 10 2007, 11:00 AM by Leigh-Ann Jackson with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: onesie, organic clothing, Reform School, gorilla

• The Babble Review: BabySoy Organic Baby Clothes

  Working at a baby magazine, I see a lot of great new products. Swank stuff. Silk slings. Quinny strollers. Crazy stuff comes through these doors. I'm not very gear-heady, so I'm usually happy to hand them off to our reviewers and make do with my hand-me-downs. But this Baby Soy stuff I snatched up. My son wore the Kimono Onepiece ($22) until several weeks after he outgrew it. He'll be spending the fall in the Year Round Reversible Hoodie (tea/chocolate; $28). And he sleeps with the Signature Soft Blanket ($18). I'm not even opposed to poly-blend whatever, so it's not like I have anything invested in soybean-protein-fiber ("vegetable cashmere"). These clothes are just so crazy soft. And the extra internal snap on the kimono is pure genius. Plus, it's not ridiculously expensive, so I can make it a baby-shower staple even when it's not in our free-stuff pile. -- Ada Calhoun Posted Oct 02 2007, 09:35 AM by Gwynne Watkins with | with 3 comment(s) Filed under: blankets, onesies, infant clothes, fashion, Babble Review, organic clothing, soy, hoodie, babysoy

• When a T-Shirt Is Just a T-Shirt

  Getting mightily tried of t-shirts that exhort people to do all kinds of eco-friendly, socially-conscious, politically relevant stuff? Here's a kids shirt that reminds us wearing a cause on your chest (or putting it on junior's chest) doesn't quite count as action. But don't feel bad, cuz it's organic cotton and American Apparel, i.e. sweatshop-free. So that's something. At Gobug, for $22.

  Ever felt like a fish out of water?

Shirts made from 100% organic cotton with low impact dyes.  Posted Sep 01 2007, 08:02 AM by chrisjordan with | with no comments Filed under: tshirts, green baby, organic clothing, blirt, low inpact dyes
