Darling. Just darling. Not much else to say about this other than I wish the grown-up parts of my house were as stylishly sophisticated as this nursery. (Not sure how practical the white glider is – but a mama can dream…)

And I know that many more will break out their patriotic clothes for Fourth of July weekend as well. There’s more to choose from than the flag t-shirt at Old Navy though!

Suri Cruise & Her Shoes

by sassyandgeorge on May 26, 2010

in Girls' Clothing, Shoes and Accessories

We haven’t had much in the way of celebrity kid fashion here lately. Honestly, I’ve just been a bit lazy about looking for it. But I noticed a photo of Suri Cruise the other day in which she and her mother had on matching purple ballet flats. The caption said that the adult pair cost $150 and the child’s pair cost $75. So I went hunting for other pics of Suri and her shoes…despite the press she gets when she sports a little heel, girl loves her flats.

Here are the purple ones (love the dress):

And these (I actually found two different pics of these shoes – she’s wearing socks in each):

Some open-toes slingback flats:

And these little leopard-print babies:

And…a few to check out for your own little girl/shoe addict:

Fun Girl’s Raincoat from Boden

by sassyandgeorge on May 22, 2010

in Girls' Clothing

Today was the first day in a long while that it wasn’t cool and rainy here. Now that it’s sunny and warm and we don’t need raincoats or rain boots, I ran across this. A darling jacket by Boden – they describe it as “shower-resistant”. It’s cotton and has a detachable hood. And lots of dots. Very cute dots.

At $56, it’s not Target-cheap but it’s not anywhere near the $1,000 Burberry kids’ trenches I refrained from featuring here…

Radio Flyer for the 21st Century

by sassyandgeorge on May 17, 2010

in Toys

My three-year-old twin boys are quickly leaving toddlerhood behind and becoming, well, just…boys. Sigh.

While they desperately want to be “big”, their bodies haven’t quite caught up to their desires. They may want to ride the two-wheeled bikes and scooters but their time has not yet come. (Though the littlest one is doing his damnedest to figure out the whole two-wheel thing. And he’s frighteningly close.)

In the meantime, we’ve discovered the newest generation of Radio Flyer ride-on and outdoor toys. They’re made very well. Are nicely designed. And are withstanding the daily beating of not only my little guys but also often my eight-year-old and seven-year-old too.

We have the three-wheeled scooter (x2). Sturdy and foldable, I often throw these in the back of my SUV to take to the playground.

Bed Bath & Beyond at ShopStyle

We also have the officially-named “Radio Flyer Big Flyer with Safety Flag” (x2). But we call them the Big Wheels. Because, duh, it’s a Big Wheel. I’m a child of the ’70s and what child of that era didn’t love his or her Big Wheel? (Note: 21st century Big Wheels do not have the dangerous yet super-fun hand brake on the back right wheel that helped you spin out like a mad man…bummer. I mean, how very responsible and safe.)

What Do Boys Wear to First Communion?

by sassyandgeorge on May 15, 2010

in Boys' Clothing

george first communionMy seven-year-old daughter is chomping at the bit, dying to make her First Communion. Or, more accurately, dying to dress up in the fancy white dress and veil for the day. One more year…

My eight-year-old son did make his First Communion earlier this month. As you know if you’ve read this blog at all, I dress my kids relatively conservatively, classically. At least for church and occasions. I won’t share what my three-year-old twins dress themselves in on a daily basis. (One went through a week-long phase in which he wore three-sizes-too-big-soccer-cleats everywhere.)

So, number one son had a single sartorial request related to First Communion. A bow tie. A real one.

I was lucky enough to find a real bow tie with an adjustable neck band in the men’s department of a local luxury retailer. The tie wasn’t exactly cheap ($50) but it was perfect. The one pictured below isn’t the one we bought – but it’s darn close.

The pants, button down and shoes came from Nordstrom. The jacket (which looks almost exactly like the one pictured below) came from the same retailer as the tie. It was $130 and is made by Scotch & Soda, which also makes super cool men’s clothes. (Also, I had a gift certificate that made the jacket only $30. Yay!)

And, in the end, he looked darling. Perfect. Cutest kid there. Ask anyone.

Black & White for Little Girls This Spring!

by sassyandgeorge on May 14, 2010

in Girls' Clothing

I have found myself gravitating towards black and white stripes for myself this spring. Am I the willing victim of solid fashion marketing? Maybe. Oh, well…as long as it’s cute, I guess I’ll take what the stores are subliminally spoon-feeding me!

And I’m loving the black and white striped options for little girls too! Though not classic “little girl” – no pastels, no flowers, no frills – there is something terribly sweet about a girl in stripes. Even black and white ones. Sweet and kinda punk rock at the same time. My kinda girl…

Black & White Stripes for Spring
Pumpkin Patch, Moschino, J.Crew, Gap, Rare Editions
Although it seems a bit contrary, a bit punk rock, black and white on a little girl can be quite sweet.

Baby & Toddler Shoes by Livie & Luca

by sassyandgeorge on March 12, 2010

in Shoes and Accessories

I realize that I post an inordinate number of posts about kids’ shoes. I have a problem. And much of it stems from the fact that I have three boys and all of the cutest shoes are girl shoes.

My girl – my single, solitary, lonely girl (who am I kidding…she’s the freakin’ queen bee of our house) – is seven. And too old for these darlings by Livie & Luca. So, I have to settle for sharing them with you all.

Livie & LucaLivie & LucaLivie & LucaLivie & LucaCan you even STAND how cute they are?! All are available in sizes 4 to 13 and are $45.50 at the Livie & Luca website.
