The Babble Review: Three from Kitsel & Giveaway!

editors — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:35:00 GMT

Here at Droolicious we’ve been exhaustively covering the back-to-school beat and we think it’s super handy when you can find all the cuteness that is children’s clothing in one place. Kitsel is one of those online stores that seeks out the coolest in the land and puts it in one clickable spot - and we got a peek at some of their wares. Three for fall we fell in love with:

Zebi Baby “Adventure” Tee - $24

We’ve gushed about products from Zebi Baby before, and this “Adventure” tee in 100% organic cotton is gush-worthy as well. In addition to their commitment to organic materials, Zebi uses water-based dyes to create their mini-masterpieces.

Lollipop Zen Tee - $32

Lollipop Zen uses adorable Buddha’s to promote its message of peace, love and lollipops. We say get ‘em while they’re young and impressionable. Yeah Peace! This Buddha-Full Soul soft cotton tee comes in vintage colors like the green above, which is especially friendly to your zen.

Ed Hardy Bumble Bee Toddler ball cap - $28

Even if it’s been awhile since you’ve been to the club, you can’t miss the Ed Hardy style on celebrities and mortals alike. This toddler ball cap sports a happy bee and Ed Hardy sig in case you thought you were getting an ordinary tattoo-inspired cap. And we’ve got one to give away to your toddler! Check out the Kitsel website, and tell us who the designer is behind this fashion line. Send your answer to babblecontest@gmail.com and we’ll pick a winner! - April Peveteaux

Two Tinas Personalized Baby Essentials - Giveaway!

editors — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Even before day care and pre-school require it; it’s kind of adorable to personalize the baby and toddler clothes. Before they grow out of this stage of monogrammed cuteness (around eighteen; country club members excluded) check out Two Tinas and their super soft cotton essentials. Two Tinas provide i.d. for your kid whether you’re in the market for baby blankets, snapsuits or hoodies. And luckily for Emily, Jack and Max – we’ve got some fabulous Two Tinas merch to give away! Here’s the trick – these guys are for specific kids, so if you’ve got a Jack that wears size 6-12 months, an Emily in size 12-18 months and a Max who can snuggle a blankie send an email to babblecontest@gmail.com with your info. First Emily, Max and Jack win the prize!

Bonus initial round: If you’ve got an "M" in need of a hoodie in white and blue, or a "K" in need of a pink and pastel baby blanket, be the first to let us know! – April Peveteaux

Get personal at Two Tinas.

Handmade: Patchwork Hot Rod

Kelly Mills — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:01:00 GMT

Sweepea recycles clothes and repurposes vintage fabrics and a few modern retro prints to create old-school denim creations like this hot rod jean jacket, $58. All the patches are hand-sewn with unfinished edges and each item is a one-of-a-kind, dahling. Throw this on your little speed demon and teach him to obey the traffic laws.

Monkeybar Buddies Help Girls Feel Free

Kelly Mills — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 14:05:00 GMT

Monkeybar Buddies are basically shorts and leggings girls can wear under dresses and skirts so they can swing, hang, sit, and play with abandon. So maybe it is just smart marketing for li'l bike shorts, but you know what? I'll bite. I love that they look like kid clothes, not scaled-down grown-up gear, and the casual way they assume girls want to be active is refreshing and smart and rare. Plus $16 for some cutey-cute shorts in great colors is a sweet deal. I'll befriend this idea.

Green Baby: Eight-Legged Onesie

Kelly Mills — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 16:24:00 GMT

Oh Oh Oh. Stands for Organic Octopus Onesie, and it also means this mama is watching too much children's educational television. By Lucky Fish, and yours for the taking at Nat & Helens, for $30. Also with floaty little jellyfish, but that doesn't start with 'O'.

When a T-Shirt Is Just a T-Shirt

Kelly Mills — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 15:10:00 GMT

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.

The Return of the Legwarmers

Kelly Mills — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 14:03:00 GMT

Yeah, maybe legwarmers died somewhere in the '80s, but I've developed a strange affection for them of late. Especially when they come in great color combinations, are $12, and boys can wear them too.

Spunky Sprout Has Sales Too

Kelly Mills — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 19:06:00 GMT

More sales for your markdown pleasure: Spunky Sprout is having a summer sale. That means this hummingbird tee, 100% cotton with a ultrasuede patch, is $30.60 instead of $34. By the way, it runs small. Have fun.

Luna Lou Closing Sale

Kelly Mills — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 16:02:00 GMT

Gawd, I adore a sale. And a closing sale makes me giddy, even though it is a little like delighting in something maybe I shouldn't delight in. But feel free to browse this Luna Lou sale. They use 100% recycled cotton. And I like the cupcake long sleeve tee, $38.

Enter the code, "goodnight" for $10 off all clothes, blankets, and scuffies slippers. But don't try and combine other promotions, cuz there's a limit to the savin'. Ends August 31, 2007.

Ye Olde Maiden Costume

Kelly Mills — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 13:29:00 GMT

This Castle Maiden costume is made of velour with gold trim, and while it's a nice change from the typical pretty pretty princess fare you mostly see, it's a little too "Huzzah!" for me. Velour doesn't breathe well, the headress looks uncomfortable, and at $82, you'd better hope the kids get a lot of use out of it. I think only Katherine Hepburn (A Lion in Winter) can pull this kind of stuff off.

Let The Force Be With You

Kelly Mills — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 18:56:00 GMT

Tired of retro robot onesies? Mine the nostalgia of your own childhood instead. I like this Darth Vader onesie ($14), especially if you have a renegade Jedi on your hands. It comes in short or long sleeves, and there's a Leia version as well. As long as we don't get into Jar Jar Binks, I'm good.

Pinafores Again Because, Well, Just Look At It

Kelly Mills — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 13:33:00 GMT

I posted a while back about pinafores from lassie girl, but I had to go there again, because just look at this new orange one with the black sparrows ($22). It's sweetly retro without looking like the cast-offs from Laugh-In. Must have.

Crazy Tracksuits

Kelly Mills — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 14:24:00 GMT

Shampoodle says these are tracksuits. They're growing on me, but I still say they look more like ninja costumes. (How stealthy would a bright yellow ninja be?) They do last a long time, since all that scrunchy ribbing means your kid can add a couple inches and still have pants of reasonable length. Love 'em or leave 'em, but I'd still take an old-school Adidas suit like Run DMC any day.

Watermelon Suit For Your Water Baby

Kelly Mills — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 15:04:00 GMT

You wanna know the only thing cuter than a toddler in a wee red striped skirted swimsuit? A toddler in a wee red striped skirted swimsuit with a darling li'l watermelon on it. From Florence Eiseman ($63). Resuscitate me now, I'm drowning in the cuteness!

Eeny Meanie Kid Clothes Say it Loud and Proud

Kelly Mills — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 20:02:00 GMT

These are not for the baby who tends to basic black, but I love the really bold and bright clothes from Eeny Meanie. This dress ($38) made me feel a little dizzy, but in a good way. Geometric patterns and colorful prints, with the kind of surprising details that combat all things boring. You'll never lose your kid in a crowded store again.

Nuts About Squirrel Clothes

Kelly Mills — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 14:25:00 GMT

Your little animal can become one with nature in this Squirrel Lounge Set ($50) made by Babyfairies exclusively for Mahar Drygoods. Each set of cotton wood grain printed pants and nice forest friend appliqued shirt is made to order, so you get quality sewing and styling. With those bark-looking pants, mama really is a tree-hugger.
