DVF for Gap Kids and Baby Gap. Oh My…

Monday, February 20th, 2012

Yes – you read that correctly. In case you haven’t heard, Diane von Furstenberg has designed her first capsule collection for kids – and they will be hitting the racks and your local Gap Kids and Baby Gap stores on March 15. If there was ever a time I wished I had a little girl – it might be now.

The collection includes the mini versions of the famous DVF wrap dresses, swimwear, shoes and more for babies and girls from infant to 14. Art Peck, president of Gap brand North America, described the collection as von Furstenberg’s, “signature approach to print, optimistic color and femininity, mixed with our expertise in great quality premium children’s clothing at accessible prices.”

The collection promises to be a hit – so mark your calendars and hit the stores early! -LW

 Horny Toad Women’s and Men’s Travel Clothes

So, I toadally admit it — When it comes to travel, it’s hard for me to pack a suitcase that isn’t filled to the brims with clothes. That is, until I met  Horny Toad, a Santa Barbara apparel company who designs comfortable yet stylish travel clothes.  Their clothes are made with sustainable fibers that not only travel well but “look good straight off the floor – no matter how many times they were worn first.”

Heartfelt Long Sweater by Horny Toad

Heartfelt Long Sweater by Horny Toad

A favorite Horny Toad piece of mine is the Heartfelt Long Sweater, which has light feel yet subtle sophistication that you can wear practically anywhere — from the office to an evening out, or just a little something to keep you cozy on your next air flight over The Pond. It’s such a versatile sweater that you can pair with it denim, leggings or a skirt, and you’ve got instant travel style plus comfort.

So, stop the over-packing and purchase a few Horny Toad pieces for your next adventure.  Horny Toad also offers free shipping on all orders over $100.

And above all, I say, do follow the Horny Toad’s motto: “Live Toadally: find fun. do good. be comfortable.” – Christina Q. Cross

New Year, New Baby Clothes. Thank you, Plum.

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

If you are like me, you have boxes and boxes and more boxes of baby clothes sitting in your garage wondering if they will ever get any use or love again.  You know, those sweet little tutu’s that your little cupcake only wore twice. Those awesome little board shorts that only got two visits to the beach. Heartbreaking because while they are so cute, you would literally have to grease up your kid to get them on their little bods again.

But fear not – Plum to the rescue! This new members-only subscription service (starting at $33 per month) lets you take your pick of adorable, mint-condition baby clothes and swap them for new pieces as your baby grows. All returns are cleaned with natural, hypo-allergenic cleaners (Seventh Generation Free& Clear), and anything that is returned with stains is donated to foster homes. How sweet is this? See – you can save some money and help save the planet. How wonderfully savvy and green of you.

And FYI -  you don’t even have to sacrifice fashion and risk your child’s preschool credibility. Plum carries great brands such as Tea Collection, Petit Bateau, and Kate Quinn Organics (just to name a few). – Amy Schwager

Harajuku, Baby.

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

On November 12th, Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Mini line launched and Target and is it ever CUTE!  The line goes from toddler to tween with everything from mini motorcycle jackets to sweet little tutus.

I personally fell in love with the two piece panda tutu set (I mean, it comes with striped leg warmers) and the plaid jumper (again, LEG WARMERS).  For the little guys the little two piece sets with little anime tigers and pandas are adorable.

I was also secretly wishing I was smaller and younger so I could rock some of the plaid or leopard frocks but may have to settle for buying one for my little girl to grow into.  Hurry and get it while it lasts! – Janette Vecchiarelli-Bell

Baby Gucci? Oh My.

Friday, November 11th, 2011

I really do love Gucci. Maybe it’s the Italian in me, maybe it’s my love of handbags – I can’t be sure. But it’s been a love affair that I have taken part in for the last decade at least, and one that I have no intention of ending anytime soon. So while I have loved Gucci all this time, it certainly didn’t begin when I was an infant, toddler or even a little girl (thankfully for my parents). But parents of today? You might be in trouble. Why? Well, Gucci has opened their very first luxury children’s boutique, right on 5th Avenue in NYC. Oh boy.

Luxury children's clothing

Pink Gucci Biker Jacket, $3800

The 1450 square foot boutique is completely devoted to babies and kids. Mom’s without a budget can snatch up baby onesie sets for $180,  kid’s designer denim for $250, wrap dresses for $495 and even a girl’s first Gucci handbag (in backpack form) with leather trim and engraved teddy bear for a mere $825. There are coats and winter accessories galore, which will be perfect for holiday trips this season.

Luxury children's clothingDon’t worry…if you can’t make to 5th Avenue anytime soon (which I guess means you won’t be getting me a Marc and NARS cashmere glove set) you can buy all of these little luxuries online. Just in time for holiday shopping. Might have to rearrange the budget…just a bit...LW

Pink in the Rain

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Ah…fall has arrived. And for most of us, that means we are in for some precipitation of the wet and sometimes slushy kind. And that also means that we are in for some new rain boots. What – we can’t ignore nature, can we? And we certainly can’t spend another season wishing we had the perfect pair of boots to add to our wet weather collection.

Well, timing is perfect on this one. Hunter is offering these perfect pink gems in honor of breast cancer awareness. They are limited edition color and a percentage of the purchase price will be donated to breast cancer research. So stay one step ahead of the puddles and order these up, ASAP.  – Amy Schwager
