Squeeze Me
While clearly not practical in all situations, Oeuf’s Squeeze Me Mittens are a sweet idea. A pair of adult-sized mittens with a pair of kid-sized mittens sewn on allow you to hold hands with your kiddo, keeping both of your hands warm. Fai...
Make a Wish
A collaboration between childhood friends and now long distance business partners (Europe and the Middle East), Ce Que Je Vous is a new line of children’s sleepwear. The name translates from French as “All wish for…” Thes...
Heads and Tails
Oeuf always has a nicely designed line of kids clothes and their new Fall collection is no exception. I’m especially impressed with their selection of hand knit accessories created by a Bolivian Fair Trade cooperative. Hats with animal ears a...
Tip Toe Through the Sweet Tarts
Do you as the kid monitoring, candy inspecting, responsible trick-or-treating chaperon don your own costume? For two months you’ve listened to your seven year old vacillate between a mad scientist and a ninja turtle on a daily basis and quite ...
Wee Walkers
Seriously, is there anything cuter than a baby shoe (except maybe the chubby toes that fit inside them)? See Kai Run has consistently designed great kid’s shoes and their new Fall ‘09 line is no exception. They’ve added a new walk...
Just Can’t Beat It
In memoriam. Here’s to happier days. A psychedelic animated performance of the Jackson 5ive’s hit song ABC on their Saturday morning cartoon show that ran from 1971-73. And the folks at Threadless have just re-released their Beat It T-...
Soiled
Soil is a small batch and one-of a kind, line of clothing and accessories designed and sewn by Colorado based Ramona Danso. I am head over heels for this kids clothing “reminiscent of storybooks, nursery rhymes and clothing styles from (her)...
1st Place
Now I ask you, have you ever seen a girls t-shirt that celebrates the accomplishments of Eleanor Roosevelt?! I think the concept behind this vintage styled, new line of kids tees is brilliant. 1st Heroes Tees (boys and girls) from Peek…Aren...
The Aussie Polka
Color lovers rejoice! May I introduce Polka: Wearables for Small Folk. This Australian designed, Scandinavian inspired children’s clothing line is a riot of bold hues in daring combinations. Decidedly international, Polka celebrates Tokyo st...
Far from Quiet on the Western Front
Have you ever had that experience where you see someone’s creative endeavor and it’s so unbelievably good that it almost physically hurts? Well, I feel those pangs every time I see the work of Kathie Sever and her custom clothing line Ra...
Berries and Blossoms
I am loving the new spring lineup for girls over at Amoretti Designs -the creation of Rebekah Merkle, a mother of five whose family traded in their Idaho farmhouse for a stone cottage in Oxford, England. Not surprisingly, her clothing is a wonderful...
Small Fashion, Spring 2009
From the editors of Small Magazine and Junior Society fashionistas, I’m grateful as always to Olivia and Christine for their latest guest blogging installment. In anticipation of sunshine days, we’re focusing on lemons and limes (and all ...
No Child Left Inside
The weather is warming and kids who have been bouncing off the walls all winter are now getting a little relief from their cabin fever and a chance to run around the backyard. As you consider outdoor activities for your kiddos this spring and summer...
Stick ‘em Up!
The kid market is awash in vinyl wall graphics and I’ve come across my favorite to date! Our pals over at Threadless, the brilliant t-shirt deign company, have partnered with the good folks at Blik to transform some of their award winning desi...
Tip Toe
There are few things cuter than kids shoes. I mean who doesn’t walk by a display of tiny sneakers and give one of those “omg” groans. Today, I’m loving the new line at Livie and Luca of soft leather walking shoes for toddler...
Back to School: Day 4
I can think of many other painful tasks that might be preferable to taking a 1st-grader clothes shopping. It’s a necessary evil, but one that you may find slightly less excruciating when you realize that the following collection of simply rad ...
Back to School: Day 3
The almighty backpack - an ultimate symbol of your 6 year old’s ‘big kid’ status. Here are a few options that may cause Junior to reconsider his pleas for Dora and Elmo. As a reminder, this Back to School series counts towards you...
Bamboo Bottoms
When I was a kid and during my baby-sitting years cotton diapers were standard issue. (Yes, I’m just that old.) I’ve also drawn enough blood from my thumbs courtesy of baby pins and laundered enough soiled specimens to fully appreciate...
Small Fashion, August 2008
From the editors of Small Magazine and Junior Society fashionistas, I’m grateful as always to Olivia and Christine for their latest guest blogging installment. Picnic at Hanging Rock Miranda: age 10 wears blouse by Trelise Cooper, skirt by Vest...
Happy as a Lark - Crazy as a Loon
I love the name of this mom run company, Lark and Loon. Friends and business partners Pricilla and Gretchen have six children between them which means allot of little bodies to clothe. Wanting to develop a clothing line with a creative bent they...
Magic Beans
Given the choice between a handful of Jack’s ‘magic beans’ or a wardrobe full of Christine Visneau’s ‘baby beans,’ the decision would be simple. This beautiful line of ‘vintage daywear’ for little girl...
Barnyard Boogie
I recently published a post on Chasing Fireflies‘ treasure chest of great pirate gear. Always a sucker for a thoughtfully realized theme, my inner Old MacDonald compells me to also share their barnyard of farm-centric bounty. For clarificatio...
So Not in Kansas Anymore
‘Mtoto’ is the Swahili word for child and the inspiration for the name Toto Knits, a wonderfully imaginative kids knitwear collection ethically produced in Kenya by a group of local women. The cotton is locally grown and spun, and the woo...
Booty Calling
Pirate’s booty that is. And the wonderful online shop Chasing Fireflies has plenty of it - from pirate puppets to costumes. My favorite has to be the combo shown at the very bottom of this post - they offer a beautiful Noah’s Ark set, b...
Beebee Beautiful
Heads-up for a lovely new shop on the web full of great handmade items for the short set, Beebee Mod. Charming appliqued clothing, felt crowns, a forthcoming organic line and patterns for DIY enthusiasts are what compelled me to list this post under...
