Baby Legs Are for Boys, Too

Erin Behan — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 18:58:00 GMT

I was sad to give up a pair of purple paisley Baby Legs I'd received as a gift when I had my boy, and assumed I was doomed to a life lived without baby leg warmers. I got a nice surprise the other day when I stumbled upon a whole smattering of Baby Legs without any overly girly adornments. My favorite is the Academy line, which will make your wee one (boy or girl) look ready for the playing field. The style comes in 10 different colors, ranging from the royal blue you see above to a bright orange below. Check out all 10 styles, which can be bought from Baby Legs for $12 each. They're a great, economical way to extend the life of lighter-weight pants into fall and winter.

Dad Like Ben Sherman? Son Can Be Mini-Me

Erin Behan — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:46:00 GMT

What a fashionable chap, made all the more fashionable by his jacket's label, that of Ben Sherman. Yes, the Marlon zip-through jacket ($119) will make your little guy just as cool as his daddy. It's no winter-wear, but the nylon jacket does provide wind protection and even includes a hidden hood for extra coverage.

Etsy Alert: Gobble Gobble Gladrags

SunnyChanel — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:43:00 GMT

Yeah, I know we haven’t even gone over the Halloween holiday hump but Thanksgiving is on its’ turkey, yam and gravy paved way. Many parents like to dress the kid’s in their Sunday best for this family food frenzy, but I think this year it would be cute to celebrate the holiday with something honoring the centerpiece of our tables…the turkey. Perhaps your kid’s a vegetarian, than the shirt could be a reminder of what you are chowing down on once was. Either way, the Orange Turkey Shirt ($13) by Etsy seller CocoJ126 is perfect for the day of giving thanks or any Fall day for that matter.

Beach Locker - The Perfect Mud Room Accessory For Kids

Chris Ford — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 23:02:00 GMT

You know that little room between the garage and the rest of the house in a lot of houses? My wife's family always called it the mud room, and I always thought it was an apt description. This little "locker" seems like the perfect thing for a young child to use to keep their coats, jackets, boots and shoes neatly put away in the mud room. And seeing how the seasons are changing now, it might be the perfect time to check it out.

The Beach Locker is made by the Eco Tots Collection, which is to say it's made from environmentally-friendly wood and a non-toxic finish. It's available in brown, red, natural and light green (pictured) and measures 55 inches high.

Beach Locker from Eco Tots, $400 from SpunkySprout.com

Fairybread: To Eat and Wear

Erin Behan — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:24:00 GMT

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I say that motherhood necessitates invention. The sheer number of women who enter motherhood and start a business is inspiring. One such mom (and her mom) have entered the sweater business with their company Fairybread and are producing some smashing handmade sweater-jackets. The simple but colorful sweaters ($125) come in three colors green/orange, brown/pink and red/yellow, and are sized 2, 4 and 6. And as to the name, it references an Australian kids treat of bread, butter and candy sprinkles.

Fleece Booties Solving My Admittedly Small Problems

Erin Behan — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:02:00 GMT

The arrival of fall is giving me, as a first-time mom, a whole new set of worries: How to keep my baby warm but comfortable while outside. Our biggest problem has been the feet. While I have found socks that stay on under normal conditions, I haven't found socks that stay on when a baby reaches down and purposely pulls them off and then stuffs them in his mouth. Enter the Zutano fleece booty. This might be baby 101 for more experienced moms, but as a first-timer I found the genius of the booties' warmth and secure snapping system, well ... genius! They are virtually baby-proof and super warm. They run on the small side, though, so order up a size, my 6-month-old fits into the 6-12 month size now but will probably outgrow in another month or two. Buy them for $14.79 at Bambino Mountain in a variety of colors.

Tea Collection: New for Winter

Erin Behan — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 20:35:00 GMT

Tea Collection's line of children's clothing seems to net oohs and aahhs no matter the season, but this winter is looking especially yummy.The line is inspired by a trip to Norway and the dramatic relationship with nature the designers uncovered there. The above multicolored Ombre sweater ($75), inspired by Norway's fleeting sunsets, has to be one of my favorite additions and it comes in sizes from 6 months to 8 years.

More goodies include the Sno Flugen hoodie ($35) for girls and the Viking longsleeved T-shirt ($29) for boys.

Kids Parka That's Much Nicer Than Your Parka

Erin Behan — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:38:00 GMT

Catimini puts out some pretty rad clothing, but I'm drooling a little more than usual over their Super Chic Parka (Is that the official name? It should be.) The parka has all the bells and whistles: A soft cotton exterior, polyester interior lining, plus a removable cold-weather lining. It also has thoughtful touches like red cuffs and a gathered back pleat. Did I mention the removable button hood? Or the $135.95 price tag? Buy it at Small Concepts in sizes 4 to 8.

New Fall Clothes from Oeuf

elizabeth leach — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:00:00 GMT

First, we fell in love with oeuf’s furniture with their clean lines and simple, modern design. We fell in love with the light colored wood and then, better still, the dark wood. Now, we are enchanted by their clothing line. (more images after the jump)

Oeuf’s founders/designers are a French, American husband and wife team. Not surprising, because the clothes have a French sensibility. (When I see the above outfit I imagine the modern day Madeline with a red balloon skipping through the streets of Paris.) Oeuf’s clothes are whimsical and sweet without being too sweet. Their clothes look like children’s clothes, not mini versions of what I wear. Oeuf's sophisticated play clothes are classics. The Fall collection will be available soon. For ages six months to six years. Shop oeuf.

Children’s Club Expo: New Robeez Mini Shoez

elizabeth leach — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 15:30:00 GMT

They spotted me before I spotted them. I was wheeling my 13 month-old around the Children’s Club Expo and she was wearing her hot pink Robeez with daisies. These are the only shoes she wears when we’re out all day because she can’t take them off. A woman at the Robeez booth pointed to her shoes and I said exactly that. She nodded knowingly. My eyes drifted down to her table and I saw the new soft-soled shoes from Robeez. The Mini Shoez.

The Mini Shoez look like grown-up shoes but with Robeez’s flexible soft soles and “easy on/stays on” elasticized back. They are for indoor and light outdoor use, have adjustable straps or laces, are water-repellant, and have non-slip soles. And they look so “back to school” even though they aren’t going to school yet! Choose from dressy Mary Janes, suede Mary Janes, suede boots, sporty loafers, and leather T-straps.

Shipping August 18 here for $33.95.

Zutano Winter Collectibles

Gwynne Watkins — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Recently, I visited the Zutano showroom in New York. It was like swimming in a sea of tiny prints, melon-colored stripes and plush monkeys. And then there was a tiny room to one side that showcased the limited edition collections, including the Winter Collectibles shown here. Zutano describes this winter's boys collection as "modern masculine" and the girls' collection as "a slumberland tale." I'm sensing some Irish influence in the corduroy caps and tiny cable-knit sweaters, and I like the unexpected shots of orange in the sherbert-colored girls' line. The full collection is available now on Zutano's website.

Tiny Leaf Tees — A Subtle Salute To Autumn

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:00:00 GMT

These tee-and-topper sets are just begging to make the cut for baby's first pumpkin patch pics. Choose from maple or ginko, add a cardigan and some cords and you get a look that's seasonal without beating you over the head with scarecrows, candy corn and the like.

$24, Chasing Fireflies.

Back to School Drool: Reversible Pinafore Adds a Splash of Color to Fall

chrisjordan — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:02:00 GMT

This reversible pinafore style dress is a great transitional piece to get you from late summer into winter. It can be worn with just a pair of shorts, or layer a long sleeve shirt and a pair of jeans underneath it.

And because it is reversible, you get two different looks.

Available at the etsy shop Lassie Girl for $22.
