Lisa Mulcahy — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 23:28:00 GMT

Summer clothes for kids are just so darn adorable. And at these prices you’ll be able to indulge in a new warm weather wardrobe.

It’s hard to beat Old Navy for pricing and style. There’s nothing not to like about the new Under the Sea Collection. At $8.50 for these Faux-Buckle Espadrilles and $12.50 for this Flutter-Sleeve Seashell Top, your little beach beauty will be stepping out in style this summer.

Meet Chloe, My New Favorite Chandelier

Lisa Mulcahy — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:30:00 GMT

Admittedly I have a chandelier obsession. Wherever you can make them work I say go for it. I love this new one from lighting design extraordinaire Maura Daniel.

It’s definitely in the splurge category at $536, but the Chloe Sphere is a crystal-encrusted gem. Measuring 16 inches in diameter it comes with all necessary hardware for installation. Each piece is custom made and usually ships within 2-3 weeks.

Retrolicious: Mod Bedding for Baby Girl

Cathy Hale — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:00:00 GMT

Yes, it's a pink and chocolate brown (and cream) color scheme yet again, but I certainly think the retro-inspired shapes make this bedding set stand out. And it's reasonably priced at $265.50 for the 4-piece set including bumper pads, quilt, crib skirt and fitted sheet. (Note it is a poly/cotton blend, so the fitted sheet might not be super-luxurious, but you can alwasy use a different sheet.) Check out the hip FLOW bedding set at Sweet Peaches.

Finally, A Sleeved Blanket For Kids Too - The Snugglette

Chris Ford — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:30:00 GMT

If you watch TV, then chances are you've seen the Snuggie advertised. Basically it's a blanket with sleeves, and although it's not exactly the caliber of "Where's the Beef?" or "I've fallen, and I can't get up!", the commercial is pretty memorable. Well, I suppose a rolling stone gathers no moss in the world of sleeved blanket making, because the Snuggie people are now selling a sized-down version for kids - the Snugglette.

The Snuglette is made of "Super Soft, Luxurious Fleece", is machine washable and is available in "Royal Blue" or "Pretty Pink." It even comes with a free pair of matching "Slipper Socks." And guess what? If you act NOW you can get a second one FREE (just pay an additional $7.95 P&H).

Huh? So, uh, what does that all come to?

Basically, for a pair of Snugglettes and two pairs of Slipper Socks (all of which you have to buy together) you'll be paying $35.85.

Oh, and beware of the link below. The TV commercial for the Snugglette starts the moment the page loads. But if you've got headphones on, then click away.

Flair Highchair From Boon Now Available In Hot Pink

Chris Ford — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:30:00 GMT

My personal rule of baby furniture is - buy the furniture to match your decor, not the baby. But if you've got a hot pink kitchen, then the newest color in the Flair Highchair from Boon is perfect.

The Flair Highchair has already been one of our favorites for a while. It's a modern, pedestal high chair with an easy to use pneumatic lift. Besides the lift it has all of the standard stuff you'd want in an away-from-the-table high chair, with a fresh modern look to boot.

The Flair Highchair from Boon, available in Pink in February from Amazon.com. Check it out at BoonInc.com.

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell welcomes their brand new twin girls, Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip, on Sunday December 28th. How did the newborn twins get home from the hospital? In style of course. Rebecca ordered two of the Baby Ritzy Rider Infant Car Seat Covers in leopard and fuchsia minky dot to fit on her daughters Graco carriers.

Hot Ride for the Holidays

AmandaHill — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:54:00 GMT

I am pretty sure the Pink Mini Cooper seen above is the hot ride for the Holidays. My daughter is ga-ga over this car, and to be honest, I almost want it for myself. This adorable miniature version of the already mini, Mini Cooper is a battery-powered ride-on vehicle that has the capability to go forward and reverse. To boot, the car makes realistic electronic sounds. The battery is rechargeable, and the car can go up to 2.5 MPH. When you purchase the Mini Cooper, you also get the charger. The Mini Cooper is available right now for $280 from F.A.O Shwarz. I am tempted to buy this for my daughter just so I can give it a ride around our basement.

Shiny Pink Shoes for Your Shiny New Baby

SunnyChanel — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 20:30:00 GMT

Little girls love shiny shoes. And if your little girl just happens to be drawn to the sparkly before they can even walk, the Me In Mind Mary Jane crib shoe is totally for them. But really who are we fooling, they more for you than them at this point. The window of dressing them up how you want is really small, so embrace the pink, embrace the sparkly, and embrace the cute. They come in sizes from newborn to 24 months. You can get yours here for $30.

Hello Kitty Exlim Digital Camera From Casio

Chris Ford — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:01:00 GMT

It seems like Japan always has the cool new stuff. The Hello Kitty Exlim camera from Casio is pink, 8.1 mega pixels and would be perfect for the Hello Kitty fan in all of our daughters. But did I mention that it's available in Japan? More info after the jump.

The camera has 8.1 megapixels, a 3x optical zoom and will record movies - all pretty standard stuff for digital cameras these days. In fact, it's kind of on the low end for digital point and shoot cameras. And it isn't even on the Casio USA web site, but they do feature it on the Casio Japan web site. If you speak Japanese, check it out here.

One enterprising web site is selling the camera to US customers, but it will set you back $598.60, plus shipping. A comparable Exlim camera from Casio (and it's even pink) with slightly better specs (4x optical zoom and a bigger LCD screen) has a MSRP of $199.99 according to the Casio USA web site, so you can see the premium you'll be paying for Hello Kitty.

My advice? Find someone who's making a trip to Tokyo sometime soon and have them pick one up for you.

Cool Long Sleeve T-Shirts From Lucky Fish

Chris Ford — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:56:00 GMT

Fall is here and for those of you who live in places where the weather is getting cooler, you're likely thinking about long sleeve shirts for your kids. One of my favorite online kids clothes stores Black Wagon has some cool new ones you might want to check out - Lucky Fish long sleeve tees.

My favorite is the Growling Tiger (pictured), but there's an owl tee, a spiderweb and a pink heart and bird tee. Most are available in sizes 2T to 8 and will set you back $40 each.

Check them out at BlackWagon.com.

Candy Dot Bench

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:28:00 GMT

Call it branding genius, clever marketing or maybe just kitschy fun, but this NYC design firm has mastered the art of melding nostalgic icons of 80s childhood with modern furniture and accessories.

Forget the old sex sells adage, it’s emotional attachment and “remember when” moments that can sell anything. Just one glance at Jellio’s Button Bench, $1,400, flashes me back to a five-and-dime shop my mom used to take me after doctor appointments. If I was good I got a roll of candy dots. (Ahh … I can still taste the paper that always managed to stick to the back of those sugary sweet treats.) The candy dot bench brings a little piece of that memory home. Covered in pink, blue, and yellow rubber dots that squish down when you sit on them and pop back when you get up, the white acrylic bench would be a great playroom piece.

Spit Up: One of These Onesies Costs $100 - Can You Tell Which One?

SunnyChanel — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 07:06:00 GMT

When my child was an infant, I’d buy onesie in packs of five. As a new parent, you tend to go thru onesies like moist wipes. These infant must-haves get all sorts of fluids on them rederning them very much soiled (spit up, food, poop, and pee). The idea of getting an infant a $100 onesie just seems just well, totally nutty. In that money burning world, by five pack would put me back half a grand.

Can you tell which of the above onesie cost $100 and which one costs $15?

The on the right! You can get that $100 bodysuit by Baby Dior here. The one on the left costs $15 and is by Baby Soy.

7 Days of Back to School Supplies - Girls Love Juicy

SunnyChanel — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:20:00 GMT

It’s amazing sometimes how early the whole “label whore” thing infects the youth of today. These budding fashionistas don’t like to leave home without their designer duds, name brand clothing, or “it” accessories. Although you may not want to fall into that whole designer trap, you gotta choose your battles and give in every now and then. One label that the tween girl crowd still seems to be infatuated is with the Juicy Couture line. Now you can, instead of investing in a pair of sweats that has JUICY across the butt, buy something that’s much more practical and way less tacky. I’m talking about the Juicy Kids School Essential Kit. It comes with a Juicy branded spiral notebook, two folders, two book covers, a notepad and two pencils. $28 here.

New Summer Fun T-Shirts at Etsy.com

Chris Ford — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:02:00 GMT

I'm always on the look-out for summer camp t-shirts, and I found some new options over at the you-craft-it-we-sell-it web site Etsy. Etsy seller "nissalisa" makes t-shirts that are cute, fun and probably something you won't see on another kid at camp this summer.

Most of the t-shirts have a monster theme and are made from a terry cloth applique, available in American Apparel t-shirt sizes 2-8. Besides the "Monster Pink Bernice" shirt (pictured), there are loads of other designs too, including shirts more suited for boys (like "Blue Bernard"). There are even some towels, stuffed monsters and hair accessories for sale.

Check out Monster Pink Bernice, $28.50, as well as all of the other products at nissalisa's shop at Etsy.com.

Big Deal: Elephantito Sandals Over 50% Off

Lisa Mulcahy — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:28:00 GMT

Almost all baby shoes are cute, I guess because of their miniature size. But baby sandals bring the ohhs and ahhs to another level, especially if you can score a pair at a sweet price like these Elephantito pink scalloped sandals. With an original price tag of $54 now you can get them on babystyle.com for $22.99. So show off those pretty little toes for half the price.

7 Days of Bedding: Crib Notes

Lisa Mulcahy — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 13:02:00 GMT

One part modern mixed with one part mischief, the handwritten ABCs of this bedding set seem to spell out punk rock rather than pretty in pink.

The Alphabet crib set from ducduc, $245, comes with a bumper (which by the way is pink/white reversible), skirt and the unexpected two sheets. I think manufacturers are catching on that if you shell out big bucks for bedding that you should at least get two sheets. Now you’ll have a backup that actually matches on laundry day or when the inevitable late night leak is unleashed.

DucDuc Graphic Cribs

modmom — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 01:07:00 GMT

DucDuc's Alex Crib ($985 here) is simple, bold + comes with a choice of vinyl surface graphics + colors.

The Alex crib has fixed side rails for added stability, adjusts to four mattress height settings for easy reach + converts to a toddler bed with additional conversion kit ($145 here)
