I Like That Boom Boom Pow!

Cathy Hale — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:00:00 GMT

Believe or not, the 4th of July is right around the corner. Where does the time go? Wanna be festive without doing all of the shopping yourself? Here's a bucket-o-fun for the kiddos with a sprinkle of excitement.

Aptly named the 4th of July Bucket, this treat spells star-spangled fun with fireworks that won't really get anyone in trouble. It comes with lots of red white & blue goodies like a festive headband, gumballs, cookie cutters and a meteor storm toy. It may have some small pieces in it, so check for choking hazards if little ones under three are playing with it. Retails for $49 at Chasing Fireflies!

It's Always a Party in this Dress

Cathy Hale — Tue, 12 May 2009 01:00:00 GMT

Last week, Heidi Klum's daughter Leni was spotted in this fantastically partyrific dress by Meli Meli. If you're a fan of Project Runway, you know Heidi admits to loving shiny and ruffles and purple. And don't we all?

This lush little lavender numbers features a twirly skirt with pumkin-colored taffeta ruffles at the hem. Flower embellishments decorate the sash. The Faerie Dance Dress is yours for $198 at Chasing Fireflies. (I personally prefer to get my ruffle twirly fix on with the Crochet Blossoms Dress or the Pink Apron Dress, but how can you disagree with the Klum?)

Birthday Nostalgia: Angels of Childhood

Cathy Hale — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 22:00:00 GMT

If you're like me, you're freaking out right now seeing these angels. Yes, they are exactly like the ones you collected as a little girl! What memories! If they don't look familiar, take it from somebody who knows, this is a wonderful tradition you can start with your daughter in honor of her special day.

These porcelain Keepsake Birthday Figurines are inspired by the original design from the artist who first created them in 1945. The angels start at one-year-old and go through ten-years-old. The angels grow and change each year, perfectly illustrating how your daughter is growing up. For example, the two-year-old is holdig a teddy bear, the five-year-old is holding a book and the seven-year-old is holding a doll. Give the gift of nostalgia. View the collection at Chasing Fireflies.

The Bustle Dress

AmandaHill — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:00:00 GMT

The Bustle Dress for little girls (or even adults) is such a great and versatile wardrobe piece. It can be worn with tights or leggings beneath. My daughter even sometimes puts hers on over jeans. It has flouncy tiers, and the fact that it is easily pulled over the head makes it even more enticing.

No Ponies Were Hurt in the Making of this Wing Chair

Lisa Mulcahy — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:58:00 GMT

When I was growing up I think kids' seating came in two varieties: school desk chair or beanbag. So I’ll go ahead and say the cliché, “the kids these days don’t know how good they have it.” This pony print wingback chair could very easily saddle up to your own Le Corbusier in the living room.

Perfectly sized for little buckaroos, it’s upholstered in super soft microsuede. And with a solid maple frame you can expect a long lifespan for the $540 investment. Get it here at Chasing Fireflies.

Hand Made: Elephant Handbag Lets You Pack a Pachyderm

Mir — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 13:01:00 GMT

If she's nutty about elephants, she'll want this hand-felted elephant handbag from Chasing Fireflies. An elephant topped by all kinds of pompoms? Heaven.

Of course, at $48 I'd be studying the design and then gluing my own pompoms to an old slipper or something, and I'd burn myself with the glue gun and swear a lot and end up with something hideous-looking and wonder why she's crying about it, and... okay, maybe you're better off just buying one.
