Etsy Alert: Have Skirt Will Travel

SunnyChanel — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:30:00 GMT

I love travel ephemera, snow domes, vintage maps and especially those old school souvenir table clothes. Etsy maker Three Little Ladies has utilized the latter not as a table covering but has transformed the fabric into an adorable little girl’s skirt. This A-line number highlights American landmarks like Niagara Falls, Old Faithful and the Rocky Mountains. Check out this handmade piece of Americana here for $26.

Kumquat wants to let Droolicious readers in on a special sale at its website. So, from now until the end of the month, get 25 percent off anything and everything when you enter the code "babble." My pick for babies is the above kittensuit, already reduced to $22.10, with code just $16.57.

Cheery Fall Dresses from Pink Chicken

Erin Behan — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:57:00 GMT

I'm loving these colorful, playful dresses that show a refreshing amount of splashy color for fall/winter and have a great hemline swing. They're by Stacey Lavalie (a designer mom who turned her adult talents to her girls clothing needs) of Pink Chicken designs and you can find this Reese dress design and others at New York's Pink Olive Boutique for $74 in sizes 12 months to 4 years. And check out which celeb's baby was caught in a Pink Chicken dress.

Great Dress for a Wedding?

Erin Behan — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 20:31:00 GMT

A friend recently asked me to suggest dresses for her young daughters to wear to a fancy wedding. I think I've found it: the Flowers by Zoe dress at Tutti Bella ($129.95) is dressy, glam and night wedding appropriate. The short-sleeved dress is rayon and spandex with sequins radiating from the collar. Though it's sparkly, it's not over the top, and will make any little girl (sizes 4-6x) feel like the star.

Odd Animals Make Better T-Shirts

Erin Behan — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 12:42:00 GMT

Etsy's good for the unusual, and this is my first time spotting a bush baby on a kids' T-shirt. This shop does one better though (in case there are other bush baby tees out there), it includes matching pants with footprints. Buy the 100 percent cotton top (short or long) and pant set for $39 at Etsy's Circlesandsquares. And don't miss the shop's guinea pig, anteater and kiwi options.

Shirts with Tutus--Who Knew?

Erin Behan — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:58:00 GMT

There a decent Droolicious history of tutu watching, so I didn't want an opportunity to pass to introduce the shirted-tutu. It might not be the first in history, but it certainly stands with few others. Created by the founder of Tough Cookies (hence the cookie above) in response to a daughter who wouldn't leave the house without wearing her tutu, the shirt runs a hefty $52. It's not the only tutu shirt on the menu, though. There's also a flowered tutu shirt ($52), a spring owl tutu shirt ($42) and a guitar tutu shirt ($42).

For Your Little Schoolgirl

Erin Behan — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 16:23:00 GMT

One of the many surprises I had when becoming a parent was discovering how cute babyGap's clothing was (OK, it was one of the less life-altering surprises, but a surprise, nonetheless). In particular, babyGap excels at girls clothing. I almost bought the above jumper ($29.50) for a friend's baby because it was so perfect that I felt to leave it unbought was a bit of a travesty. The photo doesn't do it justice. Something about little babies in jumpers ... Now if regular Gap would be as cute and creative I might shop there for myself.

Kids Parka That's Much Nicer Than Your Parka

Erin Behan — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 12:38:00 GMT

Catimini puts out some pretty rad clothing, but I'm drooling a little more than usual over their Super Chic Parka (Is that the official name? It should be.) The parka has all the bells and whistles: A soft cotton exterior, polyester interior lining, plus a removable cold-weather lining. It also has thoughtful touches like red cuffs and a gathered back pleat. Did I mention the removable button hood? Or the $135.95 price tag? Buy it at Small Concepts in sizes 4 to 8.

Big Deal: Macy's Big Deal of a Sale

Spit Up: Be Sure Not to Sink and Drown, Sweetheart!

Karen — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 22:03:00 GMT

There's a movement of parents who are up in arms about the sexualization of our daughters. Now I'm all for banning Bratz dolls and thongs for the school-aged set, but this bathing suit (literally, wheres the tie?) has gone overboard.

The thing that struck me the most funny? That bikini's cost twice that and use 1/24th of the fabric that this underwater nun jobbie does.

Available at Wholesome Wear for $55.20.

Comfy Pink Two Piece Wrap

Karen — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 21:02:00 GMT

A sensible outfit from Sandbox Couture*, this two piece set has an elastic waist for comfort,and is currently on sale for $29.95. Available in 3M to 9M. Rest assured, even dressed in this, I'm sure you'll still get some moron asking you how old your little BOY is.

*Never thought you'd see me write "sensible" and "couture" in the same sentence, did ya?

Flowers By Zoe Likes Ugly Kids Too

Karen — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 12:02:00 GMT

At least that was my first thought when I saw this tank. Whether your kid is a bombshell, or homely as a hedge fence, her winning personality might come alive with the power of suggestion.

On sale for 20% off ($32) at Sandbox Couture.

Back to School Drool: Simple Kids Cardigan for Cool September Mornings

Karen — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 21:04:00 GMT

I love these soft cardigans from Simple Kids. Partner over her favorite jeans or a crisp dress. Either way, she's wrapped in comfort as she enters a new grade.

On sale for half off at Sons and Daughters. ~~$130~~ now $65, runs small so bump up a size.

Girl Charlee: Sun Friendly and Sweet

Karen — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 12:32:00 GMT

I love this New Arrival by Girl Charlee. The lines are dainty and the fact that shoulders are covered from the harmful sun is a bonus. Delicate lace accents makes for a perfect summer look.

Available online and on sale for $22.10.

Hand Made: Sea Monster Collar

Karen — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 18:03:00 GMT

$25 at Etsy.

Sadly, I think leopard print is sticking this season. It's painful, but as much as I tried, I couldn't avoid it. Florida retirees, eat your hearts out.

Back to School Drool: "Me Too" is New and Bold

Karen — Sun, 29 Jul 2007 14:02:00 GMT

I love the name of this new line from Denmark: "Me Too." It reminds me of that Mercer Mayer book of the same title, and I could picture the little sister in the book trailing her big brother in this bold outfit, hollering "Me Too!"

Pre-order this "Crazy Hippo" Flower Jumper from Adorables for $54.

Back to School Drool: Kate Mack's Fall Line

Karen — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 22:02:00 GMT

I have to admit, I was a wee bit disappointed with Kate Mack's fall line. Cherry and chocolate have been done over and over in the last 2-3 years. Having said that, she does have a couple of great surprises, such as the Wrapped in Roses series, which are all in classy black, and this "Sweet Coco" faux fur to keep your little one warm.

Pre-order now at Adorables for $98 (includes a free hair bow) and use the code "Fall 2007" for free shipping to U.S. and Canadian destinations.
