Let Them Be Their Own (Caped) Heroes

Whit Honea — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:02:00 GMT

Few things embody the joys of childhood like a cape trailing in the wind behind every great jump or wrapped snugly around every warm hug. A cape opens the mind to possibility and turns a child's thoughts to conquests for justice and freedom. The "I Am My Own Hero" cape (and mask) from Bodemi is made for inspiring playtime and encouraging flights of fancy.

The friendly people of Bodemi, including designer Boren Lon, were on hand at the Boom Boom Room Charity Event (supporting Los Angeles area Foster Children and the Jayneoni Moore Children’s Fund) to showcase their fun line of apparel and accessories. Everything they create is designed to "embrace the lifestyle of children" and we tend to agree with them.

The capes were a big hit. Even now they are a blur of flying color as my boys rush onward into the promises of their imagination while leaving echoes of laughter and the seeds of memories in their wake. Their capes look fantastic.

L'ovedbaby Goes Big in the Boom Boom Room

Whit Honea — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 21:59:00 GMT

Chris Noth of "Sex and the City" and "Law and Order" fame attended the Boom Boom Room with his wife Tara and their baby Orion.

The couple received the 4-in-1 Nursing Shawl from L'ovedbaby which was such a big hit that Tara put it to use on the spot. Here's why:

    * The L'ovedbaby™ nursing shawl offers mom a way to discreetly nurse in public, while protecting the baby from distractions.
    * The shawl travels well and always stays fresh in its matching drawstring pouch.
    * The complete 6oz. package fits neatly in any purse or diaper bag.
    * Machine washable and dryer safe...nothing could be simpler.
    * Extremely lightweight, breathable, and super-soft to the touch and on baby's skin.
    * Roomy neckline for added style and increased visibility between mother and child.
    * Full coverage of mom...both front and back; no special nursing clothing required.
    * L'ovedbaby's™ custom-made fabric complements any outfit...from casual to business to elegant. And, because it's not cotton, it's less likely to harbor bacteria.

See? Those are good reasons, right?

She also used it while waiting in the valet line at the Century Plaza Hotel. It was a long line.

I self-parked.

The Boom Boom Room is an event featuring Hollywood’s most famous families - expecting parents, moms, dads, their offspring and me, Babble's own Whit Honea. It consists of a "gifting suite wonderland built by 83 sponsors. This event draws celebrity families together to support Los Angeles area Foster Children and the Jayneoni Moore Children’s Fund."

Baby stuff and a good cause. We like it.

Star Baby: What Does Naomi Watts' Son Believe In?

SunnyChanel — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 19:28:00 GMT

Not only does Naomi Watts’ son Sasha apparently believe in peace (hence the black peace sign sweater) but apparently he also believes in comfort. On a recent walk with his knocked up actress mom, Sasha wore a sporty pair of Rileyroo Sportie Shoes in Butterscotch ($29.94 here). These soft leather shoes have rubber padded soles and are accepted with yellow and green. The Velcro strap makes getting them on and off a breeze, especially when you’re faced with the challenge of wiggly baby feet.

Mama Simpson’s Hunk

alibaba — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:55:00 GMT

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 Ashlee Simpson and her rocker hubby stopped by to further fuel rumors that they’re expecting a boy by purchasing a set of Plain Mary t-shirts emblazoned with “yummy,” “hunk” and “loved.” This is similar to the gift set that Jamie Lynn Spears reportedly sent to Bristol Palin. If anyone out there knows what kind of pregnancy-safe hair dye Mrs. Wentz is using these days to keep her locks red, please comment. I love the shade on her.

Hunk t-shirt available in sizes from infant through 12 months for $28 on the PlainMary.com site.

Star Baby: Take a Walk with Milla Jovovich and Baby Ever

SunnyChanel — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:30:00 GMT

Milla Jovovich’s daughter Ever is about to turn one (in two weeks). How does her adorable daughter walk and wobble? Well, in other pics, apparently she still needs a little help since they use a safety harness but at least her feet are comfy in the Pediped Isabella Chocolate Brown Mary Jane’s ($32). These leather soft-soled shoes are perfect for new walkers, especially since Pediped has an approval from the American Podiatric Medical Association “for contributing to healthy foot development for children”. Stylish and sensible, I think Ever is on the right track.

You can get carried away with Angie’s style here with the Black Organic version of the carrier ($99.99 here).

Star Baby: How Does Gwyneth Paltrow’s Moses Play?

SunnyChanel — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:32:00 GMT

When I think of a Moses playing, I think of him shuffling the ten-commandments or playing hide and seek in the sand dunes of Egypt. But a modern day Moses, and son of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin plays his own way with his Mr. Potato Head. Here Son and Mum are walking along with Moses toting his classic Playskool Mr. Potato Head ($6.99). Totally classic and a toy that continues to stand the test of time, hey even the original Moses probably would have loved it.

Star Baby: Suri Watch – Gets a Head Start on Geometry

SunnyChanel — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 17:10:00 GMT

Oh Suri, it wasn’t long ago you would bask in the glow of the flashes of the paparazzi’s cameras. But these days you hide in your mom’s embrace or cling to your dad with a look of fear and also loathing. And you know, I can’t blame you. But at least you continue to dress the part of a paparazzi princess. In this most recent photo of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's offspring getting a big kiss from mom, Suri sports a “trendy geometry” printed Bonpoint Badiane beige skirt (76 pounds sterling or about $140). And each order is prepared separately and comes in their signature packaging (box, tissue sprayed with the delicate Eau de Bonpoint). 'Natch.

Star Baby: Suri Watch - What's in the Hermes Bag?

SunnyChanel — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:42:00 GMT

Nothing says conspicuous consumption in financially rocky times more than taking a afternoon stroll with matching Mommy and me Hermes bags. So what’s in Suri Cruise’s Hermes shopping bag? Well, being that my x-ray vision isn’t working very well today, I can only guess what could be in there. But from the handful of baby and toddler items available at Hermes, I think Suri would like the Hermes plush petite plush horse. And this ain’t no Gund. This stuffed animal costs $370. Yes, $370 here.

These Adidas will run you $33 and you can get yours here.

Star Baby Update! Matilda Ledger – Crocs Hit Or Miss?

SunnyChanel — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 16:38:00 GMT

Last week I wrote a post entitled Matilda Ledger – Crocs Hit Or Miss where she opted to wear the tolerable and pretty cute Mary Jane Crocs in Ruby Red. But little Matlida, she just went and broke my heart. Why?

'Cos she’s sporting the c~~lassic croc! The shoe I love to hate. Here she is wearing a pair of the hot pink classic Cayman crocs.~~ round toed, holey croc! (originally I thought Matilda was wearing the classic clog croc but our eagle eyed readers corrected me...she's wearing the Mary Jane style...I still don't like 'em) But at least they’re not the pink ones with Dora on them and she did have the good sense to color coordinate them with her princess purse. But you know it’s best to put something on your kids like on their feet rather than nothing at all, especially since they all seem to love these glorified flip flops. If you have to, you can get your kid a pair here.

Star Baby: Run Dancer Run!

SunnyChanel — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:45:00 GMT

We’ve all been there. Chasing after a running toddler on a city street. Oh the fun. Little Matilda Ledger (who turns three in October) is dancing away from mom Michelle Williams with a great big grin. Now she just needs to do is a couple jetés, pirouettes and arabesques and she’ll be ready for the Nutcracker in no time. Get your little dancer (or runner) her own ballet look with this Girls Attached Skirt Leotard in pink with a scoop neck and puff-cap sleeves from Targets dancewear section($28.99 here).

Star Baby: What Hot Hollywood Dad Bjorns His Baby?

Star Baby: See Kai Run to Julia Roberts!

SunnyChanel — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:35:00 GMT

Nothing says “relaxing Hawaiian vacation” like being stalked by the paparazzi. America’s sweetheart and mom of 3 ½ year old twins and 14 month old Henry Daniel (pictured above), Julia Roberts was snapped frolicking with her kids while vacationing in paradise. And to better flee from the cameras, Little Henry Daniel is wearing the Issac sandals by See Kai Run ($34). See Kai Run is one of my favorite kid shoe companies. Their shoes always feature “butter soft” leather, a flexible rubber sole and a nice wide “toe box” for wiggle room. Hey, they’re good enough for Julia, they’re good enough for me. I just wish they made them in my size.

p.s. Is it me or does Henry Daniel look eerily like Macaulay Culkin?

Star Mama: So Now Who Wears The Gold Shoes In The Family?

SunnyChanel — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 21:24:00 GMT

So who wears the gold shoes in the family now that little Suri has transitioned to green? (see my previous Suri Shoe Watch here and here) No, it’s not Tom Cruise, it’s Mommy Holmes!

These lovelies are by Lanvin from France and probably cost about six hundred bucks. But ‘cos I care out our dear fashion craved Babble moms out there I found a similar pair for $160 here. They’re a bit less shiny, but if you ain’t a star you really needn’t shine THAT brightly. (via Just Jared)

Star Baby: Suri Watch – Forget the Gold, Suri Goes Green

SunnyChanel — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:20:00 GMT

In every paparazzi photo of Suri Cruise lately she has always been wearing her precious gold shoes. Seriously, the girl totally goes for the gold. But she's switching it up on us and is now going green.

Here is little Miss Suri sporting a pair of vibrant lime green Mary Jane’s that appear to be the same make and model as the gold ones, just a different shade of cuteness. But me thinks the green isn't going to be easy to coordinate as the neutral hue of the metallic. If you are green with envy and want to have your kid get a pair, you can pick up these L'Amour Lime Green Super Soft Leather Mary Janes with Flowers. ($35.95 here)
