Bonjour baby fans! Today’s feature is a short and sweet introduction to the new French baby line that I think you’ll want to keep your eyes on in the coming years, Dis Une Couleur. As the name implies, it’s a colorful collection and you’ve gotta love the vintage-

inspired athletic styling! In their words:

“Des vêtements lookés vintage, aux couleurs vives et mixtes, faits de matières douces et écologiques pour les cocos et les cocottes de 0 à 6 ans“

Bright colors on soft organic fabrics, what more could a sporty baby ask for? See their entire line at DisUneCouleur.com or become a fan like I did on Facebook!

Au revoir,

If you have a newborn in the house, there’s a 98.3% chance that you’ve been tugging on baby socks within the past 5 minutes. If that wasn’t bad enough, there’s a 99.6% chance that you’ll be doing it again 10 minutes from now. I know…the statistics are alarming,

but numbers don’t lie my friend. Are you ready to know why you’ve spent so much time pulling on baby socks? They keep falling down because your baby isn’t kicking it old school in a pair of Hank and JoJo Retro Tube Socks. Not only are they made from bamboo with AZO-free dyes, but they come packed in a recyclable paper gable lunchbox. I could go on, but I think the picture speaks for itself. Sweet!

So, you’ve stumbled upon the baby blog only to find what could possibly be the cutest baby hats ever made. I looked into it, and after doing the math and checking my numbers many times (cute multiplied by handmade, divided by knit…carry the one) I’m happy to report that

NYrika Coverall Hats are officially the cutest ever made! Shoot over to NYrika’s Etsy shop when you get a chance because I’d love to know which hat design is your favorite.

By the way, it should be noted that I found NYrika thanks to a Facebook tip by the awesome folks at Felt Playground. I just happen to be hosting a Felt Playground giveaway ending in few days, so I’ll see ya there for a chance to win some feltgoodness!

America continues to fall behind in math and science, but don’t sweat it parents. Recent Dr.MOZ studies show that early exposure to these subjects through cute onesies and toddler t-shirts can dramatically increase comprehension later in life by as much as

88.3%. Do you want to prepare your child for a successful career as a doctor or engineer? Consider the following chic finds for your future geek:

• Toddler Organs T-shirt: A hand-drawn, vintage illustration of the human anatomy printed in water-based dyes is just what the doctor ordered.

• Microscope One Piece: This super soft aqua blue short sleeve baby one piece is screen printed by hand by Happy Family of Atlanta, GA. What a great gift for your little scientist!

• Toddler Caffeine Molecule T-shirt: You may have flunked Chemistry, twice…but at least your toddler will look smart when you stroll to the coffee shop in this awesome shirt by Critter Jitters.

It should be noted that the statistics above could be completely off (+ or – 88.3%)…my parents didn’t dress me in one of these fantastic Etsy finds when I was a baby.

If companies could have relatives, Crankypants would be Dr.MOZ’s long-lost crafty cousin. Made popular from their hand knit longies, Crankypants has grown to include toddler tees, undies, monster bibs, and other one-of-a-kind crafty goodies with the same funky flair. I

could go on for days about their cool collection of knitted goodies, but I recommend a visit to www.CrankyPantsHome.com where you’ll learn more about their products and Fair Trade Federation certified knitting cooperative in Peru. Of course, you’ll want to check-out their cranky blog to see what’s new as well.

Was that you covering the baby’s shoes with plastic bags in a last-ditch effort to keep them dry in the snow? Oh yeah…I saw you out there rock’in the Ziplocs. I don’t mind telling ya’, this frosty fashion faux pas must end my friend. I’d like to introduce Canadian made Stonz

booties featuring soft skid-resistant soles, multiple adjustable toggles, and durable water resistant nylon uppers. Their regular booties are equipped with warm fleece liners, but if you really need to keep those tootsies toasty you might want to turn it up a notch with a pair of Sherpa fleece Linerz. Now that wasn’t so hard was it?

Just when I write SkyMall off as one-stop shop for outdoor speakers cleverly disguised as plastic rocks, they go and add fun baby gifts to the catalog. I know…you’ll need to see it before you’ll believe it, so here you go. You can design your own pink or blue postmark romper and customize nearly everything on it including the baby name, weight, date of

birth, city, state, and time of birth for $27. Sure…it’s a lot of coin for a cotton jumper, but not too bad for a customized gift. It takes 2-3 weeks to receive your customized romper, so you better be on the ball to have it ready for the baby shower!

If your little one is known for embarking on long journeys away from the play mat to launch surprise attacks on the kitty…you just might have a Viking on your hands. Thankfully, Danefae of Denmark is here to properly dress your seaworthy warrior with tongue-

in-cheek baby and toddler wear. A few of my favorites (left to right above) include the Feasting Viking Body Suit, the Mermaid Sky Strip T-shirt, and the super-soft Fish Bib made of 100% cotton. Danefae can be found in the US  through Huset’s online store, or internationally at danefae.dk!

Okay parents, it’s time to throw the credit card back in the freezer. There’s a new childrenswear label in NYC called Toobydoo and I think you’re going to love it. Toobydoo’s online store is packed with a fun collection of great-looking sets (baby, girl, boy), but I must agree with Swissmiss…you really can’t be their rainboots!
