Shoes You’ll Want To Wear Too
Don’t you just love children’s shoes? It’s absolutely our favorite thing to shop for. We’ve spent many long hours searching for the next big thing in the competitive shoe world and our latest find has “IT SHOE” written all over it’s fabulous soul. KUURU SHOES is owned by a mom who saw a need for chic, stylish childrens shoes that can stand up to a day at the playground and beyond. She wanted comfy and fashionable all rolled into one so she designed the shoes that make up KUURU’S brilliant line herself. So smart! The colors are spectacular (just check out that shade of burgundy up there) and the details are simple yet eye catching. Love the flowers on the peep toe mary janes. If Carrie Bradshaw had a little girl, she would wear these shoes. We have KUURU’S Sophia in burgundy and they keep us looking stylish from the swing set to strolling the posh shops. Their line includes the boys too, and we can’t wait to try those out. The owner let us in on a little secret…Salma Hayek’s gorgeous little trend setter Valentia was spotted wearing a pair of KUURU’S Peytons. Follow momma Salma’s sophisticated lead at www.kuurushoes.com
Hot Milk Will Put The Sizzle Back In Your Undie Drawer
What’s got us all hot and bothered? The super sexy undie sets and lingerie from HOT MILK. You thought nursing and maternity underwear was boring? Think again momma, cause this fabulous company from New Zealand will have you looking and feeling like the yummy mummy you are. Simply put, we were blown away by the beautiful colors and flattering cuts of their designs. The camisoles hug you in all the right places and the gorgeous bras make nursing your newborn in the wee bitter hours of the night a snap…comfy enough to sleep in and saucy enough to keep things interesting. Who wants to always be wearing the same gigantic white nursing bra? Sure it’s got it’s uses and place in your post baby wardrobe, but you need to mix it up a little. Looking your best and feeling sexy will keep you going mommy. We know this for a fact. We are so pleased with our blue satin bra and French knicker set…very comfy and so pretty. Love the Japanese flower design. We’re also lucky enough to own their sassy blue Sugar Coated Comfort PJ set…never want to take them off! The top is stretchy and has snaps that open for easy feeding. Love that! So ditch the safe and practical for now and dress yourself up a little in some sassy under things from HOT MILK…you ( and your husband) can thank us later.

Hip-T Has You Covered
You know how it is…you just had a baby and you’re starting to get back into shape, but there is that little extra that keeps hanging on. We’ve all been there momma! What’s helping us get through those “muffin top” days? A little something called Hip-T. It’s a stretchy cotton hip wrap/band that you wear just over your jeans and under your shirt. It creates perfect layers without having to wear two shirts and you can adjust it to cover whatever you want to hide. We like how it keeps all our wibbly parts together, while making our outfit more stylish and polished. An extra bonus that we discovered while wearing it was that it covers up your belly while breastfeeding…sure it’s easy to keep under wraps up top, but it’s tricky to keep your tummy covered too. So simple and fabulous! Lot’s of colors to choose from, but don’t forget classic black and the all important white to compliment your summer wardrobe. Have a look at all their shades at www.myhip-t.com You’ll be looking like a celeb mommy in no time.
SlingEZee Has Us Hooked
SlingEZee knows a thing or two about making brilliant baby slings, as they’ve been around since the 80’s. They recently revamped a few things and their new patterns and designs not only offer superb comfort but necessary style as well. We chose the sling in the stunning Chocolate Aqua Flowers and couldn’t be more pleased. Love the perfectly padded shoulder strap and rails…no back pain which keeps both baby and mommy happy. We’re very “Princess and The Pea” here at Celeb Baby Clothes…too much fabric or too little on our sling and we notice right away. We’re able to take our baby to the market, the beach and the park and he sleeps soundly in his new sling while we chase our toddler around. SlingEZee also has enough fabric to keep you discreetly covered and baby cradled while you breast feed. However, we have to admit that the first thing we fell for was their fabulous choice of fabrics…just look at the patterns and you’ll toss out the Bjorn and convert to a SlingEZee. Have a peak yourself at www.slingezee.com and after you try one out let us know what you think.
Safe+Hip=WeeGo Baby Bottles
What do you get when you pair a pediatric physical therapist with a designer? Modern, cool baby gear that’s eco friendly and developmentally appropriate. The owners of WeeGo have created the coolest looking baby bottle out there mommas. It’s made of glass, so you know that’s safe and it is covered in a plastic sleeve that’s bisphenol A, phthalate, PVC and polycarbonate-free…and it looks super hip. The sleeve comes in bright, eye catching shades and a pattern that provides much needed tactile stimulation for your tot. We also love that the sleeve keeps the bottle from breaking if dropped (and believe me, we’ve dropped it a hundred times already and no breaks yet). It’s so fabulous when a company can merge great design with concern for the environment and our children…shouldn’t they all? We love the baby bottle in “look at me” raspberry, but you’ll have to see what fits your baby’s style at www.gobabylife.com
French & Fabulous: Black Rabbit Clothes
Every once in a while we come across a clothing company that really blows us away with it’s original designs and impeccable style. The longer we search for fresh childrens wear, the more difficult we are to please. Fortunately we stumbled upon the fabulous BLACK RABBIT, a gorgeous company that makes classic and sophisticated wear for children. We love the French look and feel to these pieces, from the clean lines to the luxurious fabrics. Also high on our list is the unexpected details you’ll find in each piece, whether it’s the patterned lining, or a brilliant button placed just so. We have two of their linen jackets and love the lined inside as much as the chic outside of each one. Paired with jeans and a funky pair of mary janes, my little girl is ready for anywhere the day may take her. BLACK RABBIT’S tops, lounge wear and jackets are made for passing along to your grand kids after your wee ones are done with them…they are just that beautiful. We only wished they made them for mommies too. BLACK RABBIT would appeal to little Suri’s sophisticated style and Apple’s individuality. KATIE likes to dress her daughter in French clothes, as we all know, so if she hasn’t heard of BLACK RABBIT yet, she’ll rush out and buy some once she reads this… Agree? Let us know what you think of BLACK RABBIT’S smashing Spring/Summer line after checking them out at www.myblackrabbit.com
Must Have:Harley and Axle
One celeb couple that just oozes rocker chic style is Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. They just look effortlessly hip. It’s no wonder that their little Harlow is dressed so stylishly too. When we heard that this mommy and daddy picked up a few outfits from Sandbox Rebel, we had to know more. Papa Joel picked his wee one up some threads made by Harley and Axle, a funky line of onesies, tees and dresses. Our favorite from this fresh line? Their vintage dresses and the rocket ship onesie. Retro and urban, with some whimsical fun thrown in too. It’s just what you’d expect Harlow’s super glam mother to dress her little girl in. We predict HARLEY and AXLE will be huge in the children’s clothing world…cool clothes, fabulous details and a fashionable celeb following are definite signs of big things to come. Get ahead of Katie and Gwyneth by checking out www.sandboxrebel.com for Harley and Axle’s latest designs. You can also have a peek at www.harleyandaxle.com and drool along with us.
