That’s a Big Bow, Baby!

December 30, 2007

bigbowbaby clipOne thing that you should know about me is: I loves me some boutique children’s clothing! I like to dress my girls in unique getups that every Madison, Emily, and Ava are not sporting. It’s an obsession, and if my girlz are not wearing something boooootique, a boutique hair accessory added to the off-the-rack ensemble can do the trick to separate them from the herd of preschoolers. I can always count on BigBowBaby to have something fabulous that I will love.


BigBowBaby is a store that I “discovered” back when my 5 1/2 year old was less than a year old. BigBowBaby has the most gorgeous hair accessories to match and compliment Gymbo lines, boutique lines, and more. I have bought several hair accessories from BigBowBaby and without fail, every time Piper or Addy wears one of these bows, we get tons of compliments. You can’t help but notice these rockin’ clips and headbands. I first found BigBowBaby on ebay but have since cut out the middle man when I recommend the products and go straight to their site.

Beware: big, beautiful bows are addictive! Buy some to put on your frou frou Bambina Ballerina!

Girly Leg Warmers

December 29, 2007

babylegsWe love Babylegs! Babylegs are fun, fashionable, toasty leg warmers that are perfect for so many occasions! babylegsBetween Piper and Addy, we have oodles of colors and still want more! For little girls, these are great to wear to dance class and over tights on cold days. Babylegs aren’t just for girls…lots of boy colors too! Even though they are one size, Babylegs will work on kids newborn up to size 10. Babylegs can also be used as arm warmers on kids and moms! Oh, and they are the perfect thing to keep baby’s knees free of rug burns. Can you tell that I am freaking over them? Celebrities do too. Tia Carrere recently had Babylegs on her daughter when they appeared on Oprah.

Fancy Nancy Sticker Book!

December 28, 2007

Fancy Nancy Loves! Loves!! Loves!!! is a sticker book that lets girls create the scene on each page. Fancy Nancy is hosting a fancy tea party, and your little girl can help her plan it by decorating the invites, adding the yummy decorative touches to the food, setting the table, and dressing the guests!

If you have more than one girl, I’d suggest getting multiple books. Piper and Addy did not enjoy taking turns decorating the pages. They each wanted their own book, of course. My bad. I should have known better…

Fancy Nancy Loves! Loves!! Loves!!! is based on Fancy Nancy by Jane O’Connor with cover illustration by Robin Preiss Glasser and interior illustrations by Carolyn Bracken, 2007.

Stylin’ Messenger Bags for Girls from EBK

December 27, 2007

loopy pink bag Ellie Bellie Kids messenger bags are the perfect size for your little princess to pack an extra set of clothes for preschool, tote lunch to the park, or bring toys to a playdate. The EBK bag also makes a great pretend diaper bag for little mommies-in-training. If she’s school-aged, the Ellie Bellie Kids bags will accommodate a few small books perfectly.

The chocolate bag with choice of loopy loops pink or multi-colored sporty stripe is durable, girly, and modern. We have both colors at our house! And, if she happens to have a little bro, he can get one, too! There are two “boy” colors to pick from. The bag has a velcro closure, velcro adjustable strap, and an interior pocket. I think that EBK messenger bags are the perfect size for kids ages 2-ish to 6-ish.

Order yours from Ellie Bellie Kids or Bediboo Boutique! If you want to visit Bediboo’s new store in Bawlmer, Merlin (Baltimore, Maryland for you non-Marylanders!), it’s going to be located at 4321 Hartford Road in the Lauraville neighborhood of Baltimore, opening in January 2008!

I See Your Francie Pants! (But that’s what they’re made for!)

“Show ‘em London…Show ‘em Francie Pants!” - the Francie Pants slogan!

Francie Pants rock our world! Girls love to wear dresses, but dresses aren’t always the best play wear.

If your fashionista insists that she must don the fancy frocks while doing flips, fret no more! Little Lubbaloo’s fabulously funky Francie Pants come in fresh prints for a flash of fun! Sorry, I got carried away with all of the “F” words. LOL.

Francie Pants remind us of a bathing suit type material and are very comfy. Piper and Addy each have a few pairs of Francie Pants from the Funday Shop. You can find the Francie Pants in Girls Separates on the Funday Shop’s Site.

Ciaran, the owner of the shop and the designer of the fabulous Francie Pants, also has lots of other goodies on her site, including stuff for boys. I’ve also bought the boys shirts, as gifts, and they are super soft and very high quality.

BUT…Please do not try to order these now..Ciaran is on bedrest and can’t take any orders now.  I will post again when you can order your fabulous Francie Pants!
