Star Baby: Tom Kat's Golden Footed Offspring!

SunnyChanel — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:25:00 GMT

Tom and Katie’s little Suri is sure some precious cargo. Although there seems to be a national obsession with Katie Holmes various haircuts, I’m much more interested in what kind of footwear they deem good enough to don the feet off their offspring. What did that opt for this day, why a pair of solid gold shoes!

Okay, they’re probably not solid gold, could you just imagine how heavy that would be? But they do look a lot like these Pazitos Cinderella Gold infant/toddler shoes. These classic Mary Jane’s in a subtle mettalic hue aren’t just for pop princesses but really for any little one in touch with their shiny girly-girl side. The one draw back is that they cost $64. I have trouble buying myself a pair of $64 let alone my toddler who’ll grow out of them within a month or two but you know, I don't have all that Mission Impossible royalty money coming in, alas.

Casablanca Cribs in Jennifer Lopez's Nursery

Chris Ford — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:30:00 GMT

Last week I mentioned the prams Jennifer Lopez has for her new twins, but there are other baby products to gawk at in the People Magazine article too. For instance, the matching "Casablanca Cribs" in the nursery. Even though the picture in People makes it look like neither child has ever spent a moment of their lives in the cribs, this time I'm finding it kind of difficult to make fun of them.

Well, maybe not so difficult.

The Casablanca Premier crib is adjustable, meets all the US safety requirements and has a drop front gate that's integrated into the "scroll bar." And if a big, vintage-looking metal crib with a lot of ornate scrolls matches your design style, then you could do a lot worse than the Casablanca Premiere. I do however think it's a little weird that J-Lo has the same crib featured in Stuart Little II (Stuart Little Two??) but hey, maybe she's a big fan of mediocre kid's movie sequels.

The Casablanca Premier is available as a custom order in burnished gold, silver or satin white for $950 from Petit Tresor.

Go for the Gold with a Jonathan Adler Piggy Bank

Yes, it's foolishly decadent, this gold-plated porcelain piggy bank from Jonathan Adler. Yes, instead of spending $130 on this you should probably spend $30 on a piggy bank and give the kid a $100 savings bond. But you go read this manifesto and then tell me you're still certain you shouldn't buy this. (What can I say? You know how I like shiny things.)
