Spit Up: Chantal's Pretentious Toddlerware

Cathy Hale — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 18:24:00 GMT

"Won't he look smart?" Absolutely! Is that before or after he purposely sits in a mud puddle, rips his pants, smears food on his jacket and feeds those candy-like buttons to his baby brother? I'm guessing before...

Nothing pleases a two-year-old boy more than an elbow-patched Marie Chantal lambswool blazer ($345) paired with a country shirt ($80) and corduroy pants ($100) that make lots of swishing noises when he walks. Oh, and the jacket is dry clean only. What a dream.

Reader's Choice: Zutano, Stride Rite & Robeez

editors — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 17:29:00 GMT

Recently we asked Babble reader, Angela from Nevada what back-to-school apparel she preferred for her 3- and 5-year-old girls - because we’re curious like that. Her little ones weighed in as well and we’d like to share a few of their faves:

First, let’s talk shoes. Angela is preparing her littlest one for the cool breezes ahead (yep, even in Nevada) by wrapping those toddler tootsies in Robeez Tredz Snowboots. Non-slip and water resistant these guys are perfect for snow days or ski vacations as your pre-schooler tears into snow banks. Because you know they will.

Sometimes Angela’s gals need to dress up, you know for school picture and/or pageant day. Oh, the tragic hairstyle memories . . . Her daughters picked some lady shoes from Stride Rite. The kindergartener loves the Valerie Jr. in pearlized bone.

And the little one sports this Mary Jane style Nicolette with leather upper. An excellent choice as Stride Rite has launched the award-winning ‘toddler tech outsoles’ that provide max flexibility, an air cushion in the heel and grooves for traction.

So far we’ve seen that these girls have stellar taste so naturally when it comes to coordinating an outfit they roll with Zutano. The Fall ‘08 collectio n from Zutano combines their signature bold colors with a little feedback. Even if you’re not sending your kids off to the School of Rock, they should all sport a pair of these cords.

How about the rest of you Babble readers? What are your favorite back-to-school duds you’ve dressed your kiddos in this week? Do tell! - April Peveteaux

Get Robeez Tredz Snowboots for $49.95 at Robeez.

Get Stride Rite Valerie Jr. ($38) and Nicolette ($50) at Stride Rite.

Get the Zutano Toddler Rock and Roll Ella Dress for $29.95 at ComfyKid.

The Babble Review: Three from Kitsel & Giveaway!

editors — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:35:00 GMT

Here at Droolicious we’ve been exhaustively covering the back-to-school beat and we think it’s super handy when you can find all the cuteness that is children’s clothing in one place. Kitsel is one of those online stores that seeks out the coolest in the land and puts it in one clickable spot - and we got a peek at some of their wares. Three for fall we fell in love with:

Zebi Baby “Adventure” Tee - $24

We’ve gushed about products from Zebi Baby before, and this “Adventure” tee in 100% organic cotton is gush-worthy as well. In addition to their commitment to organic materials, Zebi uses water-based dyes to create their mini-masterpieces.

Lollipop Zen Tee - $32

Lollipop Zen uses adorable Buddha’s to promote its message of peace, love and lollipops. We say get ‘em while they’re young and impressionable. Yeah Peace! This Buddha-Full Soul soft cotton tee comes in vintage colors like the green above, which is especially friendly to your zen.

Ed Hardy Bumble Bee Toddler ball cap - $28

Even if it’s been awhile since you’ve been to the club, you can’t miss the Ed Hardy style on celebrities and mortals alike. This toddler ball cap sports a happy bee and Ed Hardy sig in case you thought you were getting an ordinary tattoo-inspired cap. And we’ve got one to give away to your toddler! Check out the Kitsel website, and tell us who the designer is behind this fashion line. Send your answer to babblecontest@gmail.com and we’ll pick a winner! - April Peveteaux

editors — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 18:43:00 GMT

Our friends over at Etsy got us talking on their Storque blog today as they introduced the Handmade Kids Challenge. As we waxed poetic over some of the goods that have appeared here, on Droolicious their sellers keep satisfing the smallest customers with their handmade kids section.

Bonus - Etsy’s handmade kids section is looking for new sellers and crafters. So if you ever make clothes, toys and accessories for your little models but are not quite ready for your own Main Street boutique, start selling your wares on Etsy and you’ll be entered to win a $200 shopping spree as part of their Handmade Kids Challenge. If you have no idea what to do with a bobbin, don’t worry: you can still enter to win. Simply register and vote for the "Members’ Choice Winners," and you too will be entered to win a $350 shopping spree (apparently they feel sorry for us non-crafters, and so offer an even bigger prize to compensate for lack of talent).

Even the Smallest Girls Love Obama

editors — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 17:05:00 GMT

No matter what side you come down on when dressing your kiddos in political tees you’ve got to admire this design-at-home mom who, while musing that she couldn’t really compete with those heavy-hitter fundraisers, realized she could get busy with her screen printer. 50% of the profits go to Obama's campaign. - April Peveteaux

Obama Baby tee-shirt on sale at Sidepony. - $18

Hand Made: Silkscreened Snail Shirt

chrisjordan — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 14:01:00 GMT

I have a child who moves like a snail. When we go out he walks soooooo S-L-O-W that sometimes I feel like we are standing still. I'll admit it sometimes I just want to give him a little push.

This t-shirt is silk screened by hand in a silvery ink on a 100% cotton American Apparel t-shirt.

Available at Salmon Street Studios for $22

Hand Made: T-shirt from Bunta Block

chrisjordan — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 19:14:00 GMT

I love the vintage feel of this t-shirt.

Hand block printed toddler t-shirt using an antique, hand carved, wood block from India. It couldn't be anymore hand made unless they wove the shirt fibers themselves. Printed on a kelly green 100% cotton short sleeve t-shirt.

Available at Bunta Block for $20 in sizes 2T, 3T, or 4T.
