Hip & Organic Baby Clothes
When we find baby clothes that are stylish and organic we celebrate. It’s not easy, as you style conscious and environmentally friendly mommies know, to find clothing for your infant that is safe and looks fabulous. We were thrilled to find out about TOMO & EDIE, a very cool and funky clothing company that makes organic kimonos. They come short or long, and in a combination version that has snaps up the legs. So soft and the seams are on the outside so your new little one will not have their delicate skin irritated. They come in the all natural shade you see above, and in some really bold Japanese dyed shades. The dyes are all natural, using teas, trees and flowers. What a fantastic baby shower gift that will stand out from the rest. We needed to try out their gorgeous hair accessories too, made of vintage Japanese silk kimonos. Once the kimono is no longer being worn, they take the beautiful material and made the most amazing hair clips (no worries mom…they stay in thin , wispy toddler hair…we know, we tried). The best part? They donate 10% of their profits to Unicef. Hey Brad, if your looking for a little something for Angelina to brighten up her day (being pregnant isn’t easy) and give to charity, TOMO & EDIE sounds perfect to us. She’ll love it.

Wipe Without Worry
When something catches GWENYTH PALTROW’S eye it catches our eye too at Celebrity Baby. What does GWYNNIE have in common with us? Our mutual love for ELSIE’S ORIGINAL GERM FIGHTER WIPES. These all natural wipes are perfect for cleaning toys and pacifiers when they fall out of little one’s mouths, as they do not contain alcohol or chlorine. Who has soap and water ready to go 24/7? These wipes in their handy little case will become an addiction. They’re even gentle enough to wipe away that dribble of organic carrots running down you wee one’s chin. We love the scent (organic lavender and chamomile) and how soft they are on our babe’s face. Elsie also makes bum wipes (they have a smidgen of tee tree oil), a germ fighting spray and all natural cleansing wipes…your whole body is covered! We even use them to wipe away makeup after a long mommy day. Try them out and see why Gwynnie always picks a winner. Did we mention that KATIE HOLMES and HEIDI KLUM also know how fabulous ELSIE’S WIPES are? Get cleaned up at www.elsiesoriginal.com
Comforting & Impressive
Every child has that special blankie or stuffed toy that they love. Wouldn’t it be great if that treasured necessity could be eco friendly and safe? Our new find, Noonoo, makes fabulous comfort blankets and playthings that are are designed using unbleached and organic cotton, bamboo and organic lambswool. How fantastic is that? Since babies and toddlers love to put anything and everything into their mouth, at least their favorite toy and blankie can be as safe as possible. We are in love with their Counting Sheep Comfort Blanket…so imaginative. Handcrafted and individually embroidered, this felted lambswool blankie will keep your new little bean busy and content. Love the use of genuine children’s art and the fact that this comfort blanket is totally machine washable (washable is the only way to go mommies!). Noonoo also makes the most brilliant organic and bamboo Sheep Rattle that will become your favorite baby shower gift to give. It’s rattle is so subtle that it will sooth baby and not give mommy a headache. What more do you need? We think Noonoo’s creations are classy and luxurious and definitely celeb mommy worthy.

Celebrity Mommy Fave: Cariboo Bassinet
A bassinet that looks stylish and keeps your baby soothed for hours between feedings (who knew newborns could eat so much?) is worth every penny.

A Treat For Mommy
Busy mommies need to treat themselves well. When you put those tired toes up while Junior naps, you need to step it up a notch. While I sip my latte and flip through the latest US Weekly, I like to wear my gorgeous new neck hugger from METTE VANGSO. This fabulous company is named after it’s super hip Danish designer, and her delicious pillows, eye catchers and neck huggers have been featured in People, Glamour and Pregnancy magazine. Simply made of the most stunning fabric, this soft creation melts away my tense muscles. Love that it’s filled with organic buckwheat and the soothing scent of lavender…makes me feel like I’m in France…if I close my eyes really hard. So healing and comforting that you may just decide to put your feet up and let that pile of dirty laundry get even higher. Have a spa experience at www.mettevangso.com
Must Have Luxury
We’re constantly searching for gorgeous baby blankets that keep our tot warm and snug. We’ve found that perfect one from CARIBOO, a fantastic company from New Zealand. They have combined warmth with style and the result has us drooling. We heard that celeb mommy JENNIFER GARNER was a CARIBOO fan so we had to see their creations for ourselves. We tried their naturally dyed, organic wool blankie in Moss. So soft…so comfy…and very much itch free. I mean it, not one itch suffered by mommy or baby. This blanket is chemical free and super safe for your baby, which is really what matters. These gems are a Hollywood gift bag favorite. We think NICOLE KIDMAN would love one of these brilliant blankets for her baby shower…don’t you? Get this soft as butter blanket at www.2modern.com

Scrub It
When OPRAH loves something, I just have to try it. Love her favorites list, and this year something in particular caught my eye. Miss O featured the fantastic and eco friendly cleaners from SHAKLEE. Being a mom that’s concerned about all the chemicals my tot is exposed to made me want to change the way I clean my home. SKAKLEE’S products are super concentrated so they last forever and even though this may sound slightly shallow, I must admit that the packaging is my favorite part…clean, slick and so pretty that I leave it on the counter to showoff a little. We tried out their Get Clean Starter Kit (love the handy basket it comes in) and can’t stop scrubing the house. Wake up and smell the unscented cleaner mommies, and start 2008 more earth friendly. Your baby will thank you as they crawl along the sparkling clean and ammonia free floor. Check out SHAKLEE at www.shaklee.com
Bamboo All The Way
BAMBOOSA BABY has changed bath time at my house. I used to feel a slight twinge of mommy guilt every time I dunked the baby in a tub filled with commercial soap. What’s that stuff made of really? Lately we’ve been hooked on BAMBOOSA’S Bamboo Baby Soap Bar. It’s made with organic aloe and calendula. It smells so yummy and is made with safe ingredients such as essential oils. Mommy guilt out the window! Love BAMBOOSA’S soft hooded towels too…so decadent and cuddly against baby’s sensitive skin. We chose the Purely Natural towel as it is dye free and looks simply chic. It’s made of 80% bamboo, which is the hottest new material around. We think celeb mommies-to-be Christina and Nicole could use a little BAMBOOSA in their hectic Hollywood lives. Check out their stylishly earth friendly baby gear at www.bamboosa.com
Naturally Stylish
To truly dress your child in style, you need to be as eco friendly as possible. Celeb mommies have been dressing their tots in environmentally conscience clothes for years. GWYNETH PALTROW and MICHELLE WILLIAMS (can you believe Heath broke up with her?) are two chic mommies that do just that and it’s time this trend caught on with us everyday folk. You can start by checking out the artistically designed tees and onesies at BABY GREENS, a company that hand prints water based inks onto organic clothing. We love the nature theme to their funky designs. The bright colors really pop and brighten up these cold winter days we’re all getting too used to. Our favorite tee has to be the Surya. Looks fabulous with a pair of gray cords and a fuzzy red winter hat. So go ahead and copy all those fashionable celeb mommies, and dress your stylish child in eco friendly tees at — sorry their site is down
Maternity Clothes With A Conscience
Are you feeling a little guilty about not doing enough to help the planet? Are you six months pregnant and so tired you can’t imagine getting out of bed let alone what the earth needs? Well we’ve found a fabulous maternity clothing company that helps out our dear Mother Earth while keeping you chic and comfy. SCHONE MATERNITY makes their American made garments from certified organic cotton, bamboo, hemp and silk. Featured in OPRAH’S magazine, SCHONE’S designs are bold, feminine and versatile. We are in love with the Mulled Wine Justine top with it’s rich color and flattering empire cut. The patterned belt this top comes with makes it stand out from the rest. We can’t get over how comfortable and chic our Cheyenne corduroy skirt in moss is…so stylish and a change of pace from boring old jeans. This skirt looks so smart and classy with the Justine top. The best part about these fashions is that when you’re finished wearing your SCHONE MATERNITY clothes, you can mail them back to the eco friendly company and they repair them and give them to a charity for young moms to be.
