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.

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.

Slick Sugar: Rockin' the Preschool and Toddler Crowd

Some kids are just made to rock! Slick Sugar has designed a collection of super cool rockin' tees for kids with music in their soul.



The vintage inspired tees are full of rock 'n roll iconography -- guitars, drums, and more - on tees, dresses and hoodies. Whether it's their "Rock Our World Tee" or the "Peace, Love Rock Bands Set" you'll find something cool for the rocker in your life. The collection is available for sizes newborn - 4T.



Above Photo: SlickSugar's Peace Love and Rock Bands Tee partnered with a Kaiya Eve petticoat as featured on the Martha Stewart Show last week -- Photo by Danielle Fox Photography

SlickSugar was founded by two busy mompreneurs who wanted to create a the line that would inspire kids to embrace the love of music or as they write on their website to "pick up an instrument, sing in the car or dance down the stairs." The two give back a portion of every order received to Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation which supports music education through the donation of new and refurbished musical instruments to underserved school and community music programs and individual students nationwide.



Of course, clothes this cool are going to have a list of celebrity fans. The tees have been given to the famous tots of: Michelle Williams, Brooke Shields, Denise Richards, Melissa Joan Hart, Debra Messing, Heidi Klum, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Katie Holmes, Courteney Cox, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Garner, Sheryl Crow, and Angelina Jolie.

SlickSugar was recently onhand at the Baby Celebration LA event where Dawson's Creek actress Busy Phillips happily showed off their Cassette Tape Set.

Baby Greens: Symbolizing the Cycle of Nature

Bright, bold, and eco-conscious. That about sums up the adorable onesies and tees from Baby Greens Organic Clothing.

Patagonia's - Ecofriendly Recycled / Recyclable Onesies

With Earth Day quickly approaching, we're seeing lots of new products for eco-friendly companies. We're loving the Baby Capilene Onesies from eco-pioneer Patagonia. These onesies are constructed from 100% recycled-polyester mix of recycled soda bottles and fabric scraps. The result is their revolutionary Capilene 1 fabric is designed to feel silky against baby's sensitive skin while wicking moisture away from their soft folds and crevices.



An added bonus is the inclusion of Patagonia's environmentally friendly Gladiodor odor control which uses amino-acid chains to kill odor-causing bacteria.

Available in two color options - Sailboat Blue or Powder Pink. Available for $32 from Patagonia.

Another bonus - when you are done using the onesie, you can mail it back to the company as part of their Common Threads recycling program.

Fresh Summer Styles from Boden

Summer has arrived at one of our favorite retailers. Full of bright colors and flowy designs, the collection from Mini Boden. We're especially loving the 50's inspired dresses and skirts for girls.

As a special bonus, for a limited time only you can receive 10% off the entire sumer collection plus free shipping.
