British Style for Babes

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

A friend of mine forwarded me these adorable finds for kids and baby from the British lifestyle company, Graham and Green. I fell in love with the onesie that has little angel wings on it (so sweet!), but I also loved the huge variety the site offers. They have everything from adorable kids toys to chic clothes for mom, cool cuff links for dad and stylish furniture for every room in your house! Plus the site alone is so beautiful, it might just inspire the interior design genius within you. Take a look, and enjoy a posh, British shopping trip!

Chic Mom Style

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

I’ve always admired how superstar moms like Sarah Jessica Parker and Reese Witherspoon always look so glamorous and put together. I think the key to their chic style is in their attitude–they dress appropriately, forsaking low slung jeans and halter tops for more family-friendly tailored trousers and fitted blouses, but they also add a lot of personal style and flair into their wardrobes as well. Even if you aren’t in the spotlight quite so much as these famous moms, borrowing a little bit of their glitz and glam for your everyday wardrobe is easier than you think! Check out these inspirational images of SJP, Reese and Michelle Williams from Celebrity Moms, and then steal their looks with these easy fashion tips for fall:

To get SJP’s casual look, try pairing J.Crew’s boy cut jeans with this cozy belted sweater hoodie from the Gap.

Steal Reese Witherspoon’s classic style with this sleek racerback black dress and fun, funky pumps, both from Banana Republic.

Michelle Williams’ classic style can easily be emulated with slim-fitting cropped pants and a pair of flats in a fun color or standout print. Try these “Portland” Pants from Nordstrom and these Cuteone flats from Nine West.

Last week Brandi highlighted the hottest new clothes for your kids in her post “Back-2-School Fashion,” but an official back-to-school shopping spree wouldn’t be complete without a trip down the school supplies aisle! Get your kids excited about their return to the classroom with these fun finds for the ultimate in back-to-school cool!

Backpacks: Fun prints are here to stay! Kids keep going crazy for these unique designs. Find the perfect printed backpacks to make your kids go bonkers, and they’ll be clamoring to get on the school bus come Monday!

Binders: As your kids get older, teachers may not send home specific instructions about the supplies they need in class. Make sure your kids are prepared with cute binders, plenty of notebook paper, colorful dividers and several sharpened pencils.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Textbook covers: Protect your kids textbooks in a fun and funky new way. These bright textbook covers change color when you touch them! Finally, a way to make sure your kids won’t be able to keep their hands off their books.

Lunchboxes: Brown bags are soooo last season–not to mention they aren’t great for the environment. This year, posh, personalized lunchboxes are all the rage!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Accessories: Stock up on supplies like markers, colored pencils, glue, tape, scissors, calculators and more at stores with Back-to-School sales, like Wal-Mart or Staples. Target also has a great collection of fun and fashionable gear, including these bright pencil boxes.

Back-2-School Fashion

Friday, August 8th, 2008

It’s hard to believe that school’s just around the corner. And that means getting ready to get in gear for fall fashion. Back-to-school styles are trendier, hipper and more affordable with big chains such as Wal-Mart creating cool clothes with even cooler price tags. Check out what’s hot for this fall season!

Wal-Mart previewed their new affordable clothing line for kids in San Francisco, July 19, 2008.

Jewel tones will continue to shine in fall.

Modern preppy takes its cue from shows like “Gossip Girl” for a cool, casual, sporty look.

Hip Maternity Wear

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Maternity clothes used to be as sloppy and bulky as a potato bag, but nowadays there are a lot of designers creating maternity wear that will make any pregnant woman feel modern, hip and stylish. Here are a few gorgeous designer styles that I love: Girasole Silk Dress from BabyStyle, Target Swing Top by Liz Lange, tie front cardigan from A Pea in the Pod, and Merino Open Jacket Sweater and Bubble Top by Japanese Weekend.

And after you’ve found the perfect outfit, why not show it off with one of Tiny Prints’ sweet and equally stylish Pregnancy Announcements and Story Cards?

Beat the Heat and Still Stay Chic!

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Sandals, shade and sundresses aren’t necessarily enough to keep your kids cool as the summer heats up. Since children are particularly susceptible to heat stroke, dehydration and sun poisoning, it is important to keep them cool, comfortable and safely sunblocked.

But this doesn’t mean your kids need to be tucked away in air conditioning and long sleeves! Try these tips for beating the heat and giving your kids a safe and stylish summer:

  • Make homemade popsicles by pouring sports drinks and fruit punches into molds and inserting your own popsicle sticks before freezing.
  • Get kids their own stylish personal fans, like the ones below, to use when they feel overheated at camp or when playing with friends.
  • Revive old summer pastimes by making lemonade or sun tea with your kids.
  • Keep the elements at bay with the proper outdoor gear. In particular, look for a good hat that will cover their ears and neck, like these from REI.
  • Put oranges, apples, carrots and celery in the fridge before you cut them up to serve as snacks.
  • Save the environment while keeping the kids hydrated with fashionable aluminum water bottles like these from SIGG.

These simple tips and tricks will have your family on the fasttrack to a fun summer in the sun in no time!
