Celeb Style Find: Brooke Burke Carrying Shaya in a Peanut Shell

Brooke Burke and son Shaya, 5 weeks, out shopping at the Malibu Country Mart earlier this week. Brooke carries Shaya in a Blue Couture Peanut Shell Carrier.



The Peanut Shell baby sling by Goo-ga is a celebrity favorite. Fans of this fashionable line of baby slings include Brooke Shields, Jenna Elfman, Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown, and Denise Richards.

The collection is designed using a selection of stylish fabrics. It's design has a slimmer cut on the shoulder eliminating excess bulk and a deep pouch that gives your baby the most comfortable ride from infancy through toddlerhood. Each sling includes a pocket, toy loop and leg padding for baby's comfort.



In addition to the Blue Couture worn by Ms. Burke, there are several slings currently on clearance at reduced prices. I personally like their limited edition Spearmint baby sling (pictured above) currently on sale for $39.

Crewcuts: Fun Little Summer Dresses

As a mom of boys, I often look at the adorable dresses and outfits for girls with enzy. Boys clothes are simple, classic, and made for play. Girls clothing can be a little more fun with mixing-and-matching and accessories.

I'm loving the new summer dresses from crewcuts.

I especially love the patchwork dress full of fun surfer inspired fabrics. This would definitely be a big hit for summer's special events! It's a bit spendy for everyday wear at $198.

The Deco-dot Annika dress in sweet orange is a bit more affordable at $68.

Celeb Style Find: Paz Vega Out with Her Bugaboo Cameleon

Actress Paz Vega and her husband Orson Salazar bring their their son Orson for a shopping trip to Kitson and Kitson Kids.

Orson rode in a stylish yellow and grey Bugaboo Cameleon

PeaceLoveMom: Celebrating Motherhood

You may have noticed that I love tees. They are my mommy uniform. I will as needed pull out my more formal wear if I have meetings or an event, but most days you'll find me in either a short-sleeved or long-sleeved tee and jeans. I have a selection of hoodies, sweaters, and shirts that get pulled on and off during the day, but there is typically a tee involved in my daily attire.

One of my favorite collections is by PeaceLoveMom. Their collection is all about celebrating Motherhood and all that it means. Their tees are made of ultra-comfy cotton with messages like "Peace Love Mom", "Camp Mom", "Happy Mom", "Green Mom" and "Rock & Roll Mom".

A tee from PeaceLoveMom would make a great gift for Mother's Day. Place your order by May 5 to guarantee delivery for Mother's Day and receive a FREE PeaceLoveMom tote bag on orders over $75. Just enter the coupon code"MothersDay" at checkout to take advantage of this great offer.

Celeb Style Find: Nicole Richie and Joel Madden Out with their Orbit

Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotting strolling through an airport with daughter Harlow earlier this week. The couple were pushing an Orbit Baby System and carrying Harlow in a Baby Bjorn Original Carrier in City Black.

Infinitees: Bringing Classic Hollywood to the Pre-School Crowd

In my studio / office, there is a little black and white tv that lived in my parent's basement the entire time we were growing up. It still works as well as the day they bought it back in the 70's. My husband keeps telling me I need to get a converter for it due to the transition to digital tv next year. I need no such gadget. I use the tv solely to play a variety of "the classics".



I love old films. I got hooked on them in high school and have grown a collection of all my favorites. My kids have gotten to know the actors by first name -- Audrey, Kate, Frank, and more. I have passed my love of the films down to my 8-year-old who spends many weekday nights curled up on a big cushy pillow on my studio floor watching his favorites as I work at my table. (The twins prefer SpongeBob Squarepants, but we're working on them.)



My heart went pitter-patter when I caught sight of the collection of tees by Infinitees that pays tribute to some of my favorite Hollywood classics. So far I've found Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando.

The only problem -- they only come in toddler and pre-school sizes 2T - 6. I want an Audrey tee for myself!

And for the converter, I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet and get one so we can watch the news on occassion. But I'm not getting a new tv until this 30-year-old classic dies a natural death to old, old, old age.

Bloom Otto Table: Space Saving Style

I'm loving the new Otto table and chair set by Bloom. The space saving style and modern design make it the perfect table for contemporary homes. The chairs seamlessly nest into the table to hit the art supply trays hidden in the base of the table.

The set is available in four color schemes options: mocha, mocha/orange, natural, and natural/orange.

The table is constructed from what they call "patented formed-Stylewood" -- I'm pretty sure that means a wood-like looking surface with something not quite quality wood-like inside.

Calling All Aspiring Baby Food Chefs
