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,

When you manufacture gifts and gear for new parents like I do, you’re exposed to a lot of maternity clothing ads. Most show incredibly pregnant women whooping it up at fancy social gatherings or posing confidently in maternity swimwear by the pool. Somehow…ads

never seem to show women with morning sickness running for bathrooms, or tugging on their spanx before meetings. Finally, the maternity line More of Me takes a major step forward by introducing something completely different. Shown above:

a) Favorite Shirtdress: This is the unmistakable look which translates to, “What are you looking at dirt bag?” Pregnant women find it useful to ward-off leering men, or just about anyone who looks like they might come-up and touch a total stranger’s belly. On that note, don’t touch strangers…pregnant or otherwise.

b) Take it to the Maxi Dress: Swollen ankles are unavoidable side effects of pregnancy, and according to the ad copy the ‘Take it to the Maxi Dress’ was designed to hide them. Strangely enough, the model’s ankles don’t appear to be swollen at all which might explain why she’s showing them off in such an odd pose. On that note, I’m starting to wonder if this model is actually pregnant.

c) Color Block Kimono Dress: Here we see the model finally come to the end of her rope in a hormonal rage. Something tells me there could be a toddler involved…perhaps up in a tree above.

d) Cupcake Tanks: Made from eco-friendly Tencel, cupcake tanks are advertised as perfect for layering or wearing alone. It certainly looks comfortable, but I’d go with layering if you plan to leave the house. By “layering” I mean, put on a pair of pants…or something.

I’m not sure why it is, but most parents will agree that it’s more difficult to find cool clothing for little boys than it is for little girls. Designs tend to be generic or covered in one of two options… trucks or dinosaurs. Trucks and dinosaurs are great, but I recommend shooting over to Charlie and Sarah’s Etsy shop for something a little more unique while their Back

to School Sale is still on. (left to right above)

• Polaroid Land Camera: printed on American Apparel long sleeve shirts in sizes 2-12.
• Carpenter Pants with Pocket and Loop: made of soft gray denim in sizes 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 4 years, and 6 years.
• Wiffle Ball Vintage Applique: is a one-of-a-kind vintage “upcycled” applique stitched on the front of an American Apparel shirt.

You might also be interested to know that they offer designs for adults…and did I mention their new clearance section? All Charlie and Sarah garments are made by hand in their NYC apartment, so don’t delay because inventory is extremely limited!

If you have a child living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, you’ll be interested to see what designers Sheraz Arif, Andy Brand, Menno Kroezen & Katrien Ploegmakers have been up to with their amazing SQUEASE garment. In their words:

“SQUEASE is a garment that allows the wearer to apply deep pressure to their body in order to create a calming effect and reduce anxiety. It has integrated headphones that
reduce the sound level of high frequency noises that cause discomfort to people with hypersensitive hearing. The SQUEASE garment is mobile and allows the wearer to self-administer deep pressure discreetly in anxious situations. With its generous hood and sleeves, noise control and pressure application features, SQUEASE allows the wearer to feel protected and make them more at ease on-the-move.”

Not only is the SQUEASE designed to comfort those with ASD, but it also appears to be something that a teenager would actually wear. Bravo!

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!

It’s Earth Day and it’s been a long time since I featured handmade Etsy goodies, so I thought it would be appropriate to find the most eco-groovy  kids clothing company possible. Handmade and organic would be nice, but I’m also looking for something with a little extra something. You know what I mean…one of those companies with the super-funky pieces that jump out at you. The kind of pizazz that makes kids excited to go to bed so they can wake up and wear it the next day. EarthGroovz of Vermont was

exactly what I was looking for!

• Very Berry in Orange: Sraps tie at the shoulder & are adjustable for this crazy-bright tunic/dress. It looks great over jeans or leggings and is also vegan & eco-friendly, lined with an organic muslin, and made with handcrafted wooden buttons. ($26.99 on Etsy)
• Apple and Pears Mocha: Made-to-order with the same quality materials as those listed above, EarthGroovz can sew your garment and have it in the mail in approximately 2-4 days! ($26.99 on Etsy)
