Crochet Trim Cardgian

AmandaHill — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:00:00 GMT

I think little girls looks adorable in cardigans. This Crochet-Trim Cardigan from Old Navy is new for spring, and it is must-have. The scoop neck with 3 little buttons at the top is great.

You can find the cardigan in pink and blue at Old Navy.

Fairybread: To Eat and Wear

Erin Behan — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:24:00 GMT

They say that necessity is the mother of invention. I say that motherhood necessitates invention. The sheer number of women who enter motherhood and start a business is inspiring. One such mom (and her mom) have entered the sweater business with their company Fairybread and are producing some smashing handmade sweater-jackets. The simple but colorful sweaters ($125) come in three colors green/orange, brown/pink and red/yellow, and are sized 2, 4 and 6. And as to the name, it references an Australian kids treat of bread, butter and candy sprinkles.

Little Boy Chic - The Name Says It All

elizabeth leach — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:00:00 GMT

Boys clothing can be just as much fun as girls’ and there’s an entire website to prove it. Little Boy Chic carries stylish clothes, shoes, and accessories for newborn boys to 8 years. Shop your favorite brands all in one place and without having to share with the girls! Here are a few of my favorites and I warn you that I had trouble picking just a couple...

The above Star Hooded Hand-Knit Cotton Sweater will be both you and your son's favorite sweater this winter. You'll like it because the colors coordinate with everything and you know he'll be warm. Even his head and hands will be warm because of the hood and hand warmer. He'll like it because it's made with soft 100% cotton yarn and because of the fun star. This sweater is also available in blue with brown and yellow accents. In sizes 6 months to 6 years. ($60)

Small Paul Professional Mondee Undies don't just have the days of the week printed on them but also the profession Julius is trying out that day. I like Julius as the business guy. Available in sizes 2-7 years. (Pack of seven for $38)

No Added Sugar Playsuits are luxuriously soft and come in jewel bright colors. Made in Portugal from 100% premium interlock cotton with a super cute embroidered logo on one leg. I wish this came in my size! If only my clothes were this soft and comfy. Check out the other No Added Sugar playsuits. Each one is cuter than the next. Available in 3-12 months. ($49)

Go Fish Pajama Set by Hatley are definitely not your average Carter’s pajamas. Your little boy will delight in the beautiful bright fishies. Super combed fabric make them super soft. Check out the other Hatley pajamas. Every one could be your little boy’s favorite pj's with Pirates, snowboarding, aliens, and superheroes. ($28)

A-Maze T-Shirt by Wonderboy is for the little hipster. Charcoal grey with light blue seams and layered shirt peaking out from the sleeves. 100% cotton and available for 6 months to 5 years. ($34)

Shop Little Boy Chic and always get $6 or free shipping.

Spit Up: Cashmere Kids Sweater Swathed in Gold

Erin Behan — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:23:00 GMT

Sunny's $100 onesie post reminds me of one of my favorite pastimes: Perusing kids clothing made of cashmere. I suppose I may be the odd New York parent-out, but I don't even own a piece of cashmere myself, so I'm certainly a little fluxomed as to its appropriateness for children. And yet, I gawk. Today I'm gawking at this $385 cashmere boys sweater from J.Crew's Crewcuts line, which is not actually swathed in gold, but really should be, for that price. Call me cheap, but that's more money that I plan on spending for my little one's clothing all year long.

Bla Bla Kids Clothing — Now We're Talking

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 18:00:00 GMT

Okay. Where was I when Bla Bla Kids started making kids' clothing? I've been hoarding their Peruvian stuffed toys and nursery accents since my first trimester. Now, I find out they have a line of cute screened and embroidered shirts teaching kids animal names in Italian, Spanish and even Dutch.

$22, Bla Bla Kids.

This doll Coco is one of my daughter's favorites. Turns out there's a boatneck sweater to match. (Though, at $58, I kind of wish the doll itself was included in the price.) The pants are part of the line, too.

Jessica Alba Baby Shower "Gifts"

Chris Ford — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 22:24:00 GMT

If you haven't heard yet (and if you haven't, then you really should be reading FameCrawler more often), Tyra Banks just threw Jessica Alba a baby shower on her television show (because really, if there's one person who needs free kids stuff, it's the Fantastic Four's Invisible Girl). Apparently the Tyra Show got together with MomLogic.com and came up with a bunch of new products that every new Hollywood mom must have. After the jump I'll list them (along with some of my own snarky comments).

The Cariboo Classic Bassinet ($359.95) & Cariboo Activity Gym ($159.95). A beautiful, expensive bassinet that she'll use for about six months and then get rid of.

Cariboo Puretec Blankets $99.95 - $159.95. A baby blanket for $159.95 doesn't even deserve a comment.

Lillebaby Euro Tote ($119.95). Baby in a bag! We've been talking about these for a while on Droolicious.

Svan High Chair ($249.95). Even at that price, it's hard to make a snide comment about a beautiful high chair. Even though if you so much as cut a piece of pizza on it you'll dramatically reduce the resale value. OK. It wasn't that hard.

Svan Scooter ($119.95). For the right age group (i.e. not Jessica's impending infant) this is a really cool product.

Svan Bouncer ($119.95) For a hundred and twenty dollars it better take care of the midnight feeding too.

Yo My Booties Baby Booties ($50). If you can't put your infant in Uggs, super-furry baby shoes are probably the next best thing.

Yo My Booties Zebra and Cheetah Sweaters ($85). Expensive, but these look pretty cool.

Yo My Booties Pom Pom Hat ($50). Isn't a baby hat for $50 the definition of conspicuous?

Valco Baby TriMode All Terrain Stroller ($425) with Infant Bassinet ($150). No comment. I'm a Bugaboo man myself.

Lautrec Toulouse Diaper Bag ($236), Mommy Chic Diaper Bag ($395) & Femme Chic Diaper Bag ($360). Any one of these would be way too much money, but three? If you're worried about your kid crapping on it, it's time to get a new diaper bag. And if you don't care about your kid crapping on a $395 diaper bag? More power to you.

Lil Safari Girl Pre-Walker and Lil Dino Boy Pre-Walker Shoes ($34.95). A new Robeez ~~competitor~~? [Reader Laura correctly points out, Robeez is also owned by Stride Rite, having a virtual baby shoe monopoly. -mdd] I'll have to check them out.

Sleep Sheep, Sleep Sheep on the Go, Lavender Lab, Baby Sheep Rattle ($6 - $24). Finally. A baby toy.

Bel Bambini Gift Basket ($500) and Gift Certificate ($1000). Oh. I guess there wasn't enough free crap. Now she can go pick out some more herself.

So there it is. And the grand total of all the free swag Jessica Alba is getting? About $4,861.50 by my calculations.

Check out more about it at Mom Logic.com (including a clip of the show).

Droolworthy: Skivvydoodles ArtWalk Blanket Sets

Mir — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Just when I think I've found the ArtWalk pattern I love the best, I look at the next one and become smitten all over again. Where were these when my kids were babies?? This little division of Skivvydoodles makes hand-loomed, all-cotton blankets and coordinating sweater sets almost too pretty to use. Good luck trying to choose to just one; if you want to try, there's an impressive selection at Fitsyou. Dogs & Cats and Hey Little Diddle are shown above.

(Blankets are $100 and sweater sets -- many of which appear to be sold out, sadly -- are $80.)

Sweeters are Sweeter Sweaters, Made in the USA

Mir — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:04:00 GMT

Too often "hand made" when it comes to knits means "chunky" or even "ugly." But Sweeters live up to their name -- these hand made cotton knits come in a variety of cute, clean designs, even allowing for personalization if that's what you're after. They make sweaters, layette items, accessories, and even Sweeters Pals, which remind me of something else.

Right now nearly everything is 15% off through December 15th, so it's the right time to check them out. Accessories start at $28; sweaters start at around $73.

Droolworthy: Cheek 2 Cheek Unique Happy Face Sweater and Hat

Mir — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 13:02:00 GMT

I wanted to come up with a catchy title for this post, but I couldn't, because I was severely distracted by the searing pain in my (phantom) ovaries generated by this massive dose of cuteness. Cheek 2 Cheek has managed to create a cotton sweater and hat set suitable for a boy or a girl, that would go with just about everything, that's functional and fabulous and childish in the best possible way. It's so awesome, I love it even though it's $84 for the set at Polkadot Patch.

If I still had a preschooler, I'd sell one of my other kids to buy this. No lie.

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.
