cool stuff for cool kids
From the category archives:
Okay, I know it’s still July. And it’s, oh, just a little bit hot outside. A bit sticky here in the Midwest at least. But I came across these darling wool coats and capes for Fall/Winter 2009 today. They’re by Patouche out of Canada.
Patouche’s fall line was inspired by Little-Red-Riding-Hood’s wander through the woods and [...]

I gravitate to old-fashioned, classic kids’ clothing and shoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love modern, fun and funky as much as the next person. But it’s this kind of stuff that tugs at my heartstrings (and, well, my ovaries. Don’t tell my husband. He’ll have a freakin’ coronary. Four kids is enough for [...]

Sophisticated but fun fabrics. Attention to detail like I’ve never seen. Meticulous contrasting linings, reverses and edging. Beautiful construction. All of these describe Hoot Baby’s lovely designs for little girls.
Dresses, tunics, skirts, bloomers – all of Hoot Baby’s pieces look delicious enough for a special occasion. And yet, they’re fun and not fancy, frilly or [...]

So…..I’m back. Took a little unexpected hiatus there for a week or so. Life. Kids. Whatnot. I’m sure you know how that goes.
Anyway. I’m back! While I was gone, I bought a new dress for myself. Had an outdoor fundraiser to attend. In late June. In Kansas. Holy humidity and heat…My choice was ultimately a [...]

I stumbled upon the Sweet Funky Vintage website today via Megan’s post at Velveteen Mind. And I absolutely adore the fabrics they use. Very unique. Very fun. And everything is made-to-order.
You definitely won’t see these little numbers coming and going this summer.
Check it:
All available at Sweet Funky Vintage, $30 – $48.

My six-year-old daughter is just now reaching the age where she wants “trendy” clothes. I usually resist – throwing her the occasional bone by purchasing a graphic T at Target. I just don’t want her to grow up too fast. And I don’t want to waste money on clothes that will be “out” by Christmas.

Remember back in the ’80’s when sweet calico and floral Laura Ashley dresses were all the rage? For little girls and not-so-little girls? Full skirts, shoulder poufs, sashes, peter pan and sailor collars? Jessica McClintock and Gunne Sax got into it too but the style was a little different. Laura Ashley was always fresh, clean [...]

So, let’s review. It is clear that I like pinafores (or jumpers, whichever term you prefer), Mary Janes and Indian-inspired tunics and dresses. Today, we’ll add little girls’ jackets to the mix. Because I like them. Might even love them. Not “love” like I want to make out with them and stuff but “love” just [...]

Maybe it’s becoming abundantly clear that I love Indian-inspired dresses and tunics for little girls? What? Too many? Never!
This spring/summer line of little girls’ dresses by Pink Chicken is right up my alley though! I had to show them to you. Had to.
Buy Pink Chicken for your little one at Tuttibella and Arte Bebé.

I – very stupidly – got my first sunburn of the season this weekend. Sitting out at my son’s soccer game. My kids, of course, were slathered in sunscreen – by me – and were well-protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Amazing, isn’t it, how moms watch out for their kids’ health and safety and [...]
