Babble

  Urban stroller fanatics, rejoice! The Bumbleride Indie Stroller has finally hit the market in five colors; two of which are new (spice and seagrass) and one which is limited-edition (bwana, shown above). It comes with all the basics – cup holder, bumper bar, air pump and footmuff, and the infant seat is compatible with a wide variety of ...

Photo from babyrazzi.com Suri Cruise may be the most glamorous girl in New York, but Violet Affleck has casual chic down pat – plus she has dimples that just don’t quit. In addition to carrying with her the cutest backpack of all time, I love her no-time-for-laces Velcro pair of sneakers. The ones she 's frequently wearing these days ...

  I don’t know if I fully understand why anyone ever thought making clothing for children out of cashmere was a good idea, but Eye Spy dresses sure are cute – if a little impractical. This week they’re at least a little less impractical because they’re on sale almost 50% off at Milkshop. Start your holiday shopping a little early? ...

  Photo from JustJared.buzznet.com. Suri Cruise seems to have a thing for silver shoes, and who can blame her? Always the mini-fashionista, she seems to favor Mary Janes in shimmering metallic shades. Thanks to the paparazzi who follow Suri and her lovely mommy everywhere, we know for a fact that she’s got pairs of decadent Bonpoint Mary ...

    When I was a young’un attending private school and wearing a much-hated plaid jumper, there wasn’t much room for expression of personal style beyond headbands and Bermuda bags. However – cold weather offered the option of either wearing our most stylin’ jeans under our skirts or cutesy legwarmers. My love for legwarmers has ...

   At first glance I did not realize that these super cute fuzzy pink boots were the product of (gasp) crocs. But, behold! They are! The line has come out with boots that feature removable fuzzy footbeds for fall and winter wear. It has not yet gotten cold enough for me to weigh in on whether or not a rubber boot of this nature actually ...

 It’s no secret that celebrities do the vast majority of their baby shopping at Petit Tresor in LA. This does strike me as curious seeing as how gossip rags always seem to find out (almost instantly) exactly what the celebs purchased. Do the sales girls simply save copies of the receipts for The Star? Anyhow, recently soon-to-be-mom ...

  It is darn cold outside this week. It’s what-the-heck-is-going-on-here-on-the-east-coast kind of cold. The greatest luxury on a cold morning is simply being able to lounge around and not have to get dressed up to leave the house. For mommies-to-be who are suddenly in need of layering options considering the brisk weather, enter the ...

   I will not disguise my initial contempt when I walked past the newly-opened Dimples Kid Spa on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. Do kids really need spas? More specifically, do the well-off, well-coiffed kids of Brooklyn Heights really need a spa? But then I took a look at their service menu and admitted to myself that I kind ...

   I must confess, I’ve always thought of carving jack o’lanterns as kind of a grown-ups’ craft. Kids get to participate in helping to design the jack o’lantern’s face, but the actual crafting part – the carving – involves hacking up a slippery object with a sharp tool. Not exactly kid stuff. Personally I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m ...
