My Favorite Valentines Playsuits

Valentines-Rompers

Fore!! Axel and Hudson

Reid Jan 27

Who says that dressing little boys is boring and one-note? Okay, pretty much everyone, but I still don’t subscribe to that theory. Take this suave little man, dressed to charm anyone within range (I am biased, my nephews are the most handsome little guys on the planet.) His size 3-month bodysuit by Fore Axel and Hudson [...]

How To Fit A Bodysuit

How-to-Fit-a-Bodysuit

  Baby clothes can be as confusing as, well, babies. One of the more daunting tasks is getting their clothes to fit right, and/or weeding through the clothing options online before buying  to find those that will fit the best and offer the longest duration of wear possible. Something as seemingly simple as a bodysuit [...]

The Varsity Sweater, Baby Edition

Red Envelope $35.95

It seems as if every few seasons the varsity sweater make a grand return to the fashion shows. The past few seasons it has dominated the mens world, taking the form of a color-blocked cardigan. I like the trend, much in the way that I like Rugby stripes (don’t blast me, I know they’re not [...]

Bye Bye Sweet Baby Phase

Trumpette

I have seen the teenage Anna and I am afraid. Very, very afraid. Last night she woke up crying at 11pm. I waited a few minutes to see if she would soothe herself back to sleep, then went to pick her up after she refused to quietly go back to sleep on her own. Out [...]

Splurge or Save: Heart Sweater Jumpsuit

I-Heart-Jumpsuits

I have a very love/hate relationship with the save or splurge mentality. Why would you spend more if something is truly identical? Most of [...]

As each season passes, so do the clothes. I am packing away some of my daughter’s summer clothes and smiling fondly at the maddeningly cute shortall by Broken Tricycle.

Politically Active Babies

Obama-Romney-Baby-Clothing

No matter which side of the aisle you support this fall, your baby can show his love for politics with tiny Obama or Romney apparel. I will try to keep my opinions on the election to myself, but I have to note that the Romney clothes are decidedly bland, and waiver on multiple copyright infringements. [...]
