Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:58:00 GMT

Check out this new section on the GAP website that has great deals. It’s called final sale and as you can imagine there’s no returns, but at prices like these you might want to stock up. There’s still plenty of winter left so shop away. I’m diggin’ this zig-zag striped hat that’s marked down to $6.97 from $16.50.

Trumpette who is known for their adorable and ridiculously popular Mary Jane and sneaker like baby socks has gone from toes to head with this cozy and cute hat for babies. They also make a pink Minnie Mouse with for those girly girls. You can pick one up from Forest and Zoe for $13 here.

Superhero Cap

Lisa Mulcahy — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 16:30:00 GMT

If you’re a regular here on Droolicious you know we have a thing for caped crusaders. That’s why I had the share this
hero’s hat.

As I’ve quickly learned, getting kids to do what you what them to can be tricky. Case-in-point, it’s a freezing cold day and your toddler refuses to wear a hat. Solution: the Superhero Cap from Atypyk, $22. What kid could say no to that?

Going to the Inauguration, Baby?

Heather Kuldell — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:38:00 GMT

Tomorrow’s the big day! The D.C.’s been bracing itself for weeks for the crowds, but I’m not sure the folks who traveled to town were ready for the all the inauguration rules or the weather. If you’re a parent determined to witness the swearing in or the parade in person, here are a few tips.

The first challenge is that no strollers are allowed on the parade route or on the capitol grounds. The next challenge is bag restrictions: Backpacks aren’t allowed and bags must be smaller than 8 inches by 6 inches by 4 inches. There aren’t specific restrictions prohibiting child carriers, but if bags larger than paper lunch sacks can’t get through, taking one is a gamble. How can you carry baby gear and have hands available to hold kids?

The best option we know about is the DadVest Diaper Vest, which sells for $82. It looks like a basic vest, but features internal diaper pocket, a cell phone pocket, exterior bottle pockets, a wipes pocket and includes a changing pad that fits into a pocket on the back. You’d still be running in essentials-only mode, but at least you could carry those.

As far as beverages go, leave the glass or thermal bottles behind. They may be earth-friendly, but they won’t get past security. Opt for plastic, such as the MAM Ultivent bottles. They’re both made of “safe” plastic and cheap ($13.99 for a 3-pack of 9-ounce bottles), so if it gets lost, you won’t cry.

And yeah, it’s freezing cold, but at least it’s supposed to be sunny. Still, an ear and neck covering fleece hat is a good idea, such as the Stay-Put Fleece Hat. It’s available in multi-colors for baby sizes up to 5T for $9.95.

Even if you’re not braving the inauguration in person, you can bring Obama into your pad. Sandbox Threads has a wide selection of colors and styles of Obama T-shirts (including the image that kicks off this post) for $18 each for babies and kids. But perhaps as a new president takes office, it’s time to push your issues instead of your candidate. I’m fond of this “Please Ensure I’m Insured” shirt, available in for babies or kids for $16-$17 from Baby Politico.

Bringing Home a Winter Baby?

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 15:05:00 GMT

I guess no matter what time of year you bring home a new baby from the hospital there’s always the feeling that the baby should be bundled up. But winter babies face more than just the chill of a whole new world; it’s downright cold. Here’s a set that will keep your newby nice and toasty.

I love the classic herringbone design and ivory and cocoa colorway of this blanket and hat set $51, from Beba Bean. The oversized blanket is triangle shaped for easy swaddling and wrapping and easily transitions into everyday use.

Skate Cap For Little Grommets Everywhere

Chris Ford — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 13:00:00 GMT

I don't live in Brooklyn or Silver Lake, but I imagine that in all the meccas of hipster parents and hipster kids, half the young toddler boys have hats like these. Not that that's a bad thing - I think they're pretty cool looking myself. And one of the best parts of being a parent?

If you can't pull off the look yourself, chances are your little boy will have no problem.

Spit Up: Kate's Moss Hat

Erin Behan — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:07:00 GMT

I'm a big fans of kids hats and a general fan of the stuff Giggle carries on its website, but I can't say I'm a fan of the amusingly named Kate's Moss Hat ($34). I mean, who would plant a giant piece of moss on their kids head and call it a hat? For the record, it's fully lined. And don't even get me started on the Flower Power Hat ($34), below.

A Hat as Cute as a Mouse

Erin Behan — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:38:00 GMT

Hats with ears are almost always cute. Hats with a button nose and whiskers? Most definitely cute. Today's hat comes from Etsy's ElleGanT shop ($25) and is available in a 6-12 month size or 3 to 5-year-old size. It's made from Italian cashmere and has nice detailing with the bottom button closure. Check out more of my winter hat picks.

Sweet Topper: Pretty in Purple

Erin Behan — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:49:00 GMT

Not all kids hats have to be silly to be sweet. Case in point, Etsy's mrsmartin428 of Off the Hook Children's Boutique, who makes girls hats that will cause the most discriminating young fashionisa to coo. My favorite is her daisy purple and green hat ($21). Made of cotton with earflaps that tie for extra warmth and a cute flower for extra pizzaz. But each of her color combos are wild and cool, so check them all out. And dive into more of my favorite winter hats.

Super Silly: Hat for Kids With a Humor Sensibility

Erin Behan — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:14:00 GMT

If you and your kids like amusing hats that also go great lengths (aka, to the shoulders) to keep kids warm, there's one stop on Etsy you can't miss: FunnyFinn. Most of the hats on the site resemble something between a martian and an amphibian, but in fun, bright color combinations like the one above ($24). The fleece "helmets" cover ears and neck and just might be what a hat-averse kid needs to take him into winter weather without catching a cold. The hats fit most children ages 9 months to 2 years. Happy hat hunting.

Faux-Fur Muff And Earmuffs For Kids From Juicy Couture

Chris Ford — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 12:03:00 GMT

I don't live in a cold weather place, but do girls really use muffs to keep their hands warm? I can't remember ever seeing anyone use a muff before. Earmuffs I have seen, though not that often. Anyway, if you want to dress your little girl in matching faux-fur accessories this winter, then Juicy Couture has something you should probably check out.

Both the ear muffs and the muff are made of dark brown faux-fur. The muff has a zip pocket with "goldtone heart charm," a strap for your wrist and knit lining. The earmuffs have the Juicy Couture "JC" script embroidered on the sides.

Faux-Fur Muff, $75 and Faux-Fur Earmuffs, $45 from JuicyCouture.com.

Star Baby: A Desperate Housewife Protects Her Kids

SunnyChanel — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 22:06:00 GMT

Marcia Cross, of the infamous show Desperate Housewives (and of course Melrose Place!), takes care to protect her twin girls, Eden and Savannah, from the harmful rays of the sun with the Platypus hat ($22) by Wallaroo Hat Company UPH 50+ hats. The extra wide brim provides some extra protection to the toddler’s precious skin. The platypus fits one to three years of age and is made of 100% cotton.

Star Baby: Hold Onto Your Hats…it’s Britney Spears & Sons

SunnyChanel — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 22:52:00 GMT

Hold onto your hats…it’s Britney Spear’s first interview in two years and she “tells all about her boys and her new life” exclusively with OK Magazine. What do we like most about this comeback cover? Not the Liberace-ish tuxes on the boys and not the hippy-dippy, low-cut practically see thru dress on Brit, but the totally cute plaid fedoras on the mini KFeds heads! Now there’s some style I can get behind.

Steal this look with the Bogart Skurvy Fedora printed plaid twill hat by Small Paul. It’s pliable, sturdy and stylish, just what kids need. You can get yours here. But for me and your dry cleaning bill, skip the white suits please? ($27.00 from Paul Frank)
