Playing Close to the Vest

He’s not the most forthcoming of children. You might say he plays things close to the vest. He keeps things on a need-to-know basis. He silently stalks from room to room. Nope, there’s nothing to see here. Move along, people. He’s full of secrets. You just know he is. After all, he’s never been that great with sharing, toys or otherwise. He might know where Batman lives. He might even know something about Stonehenge. But he wouldn’t tell you if he did. Sure, he goes into his room for rest time. But with all that random crashing and smashing the second you close the door, what goes on in there after you leave? And where does he disappear to with snacks and a juice box?

With all this cloak and dagger secrecy, isn’t it perfect that colder days are covered with this kids Appaman Vest? It has a cool retro feel for when he wants to keep things hidden, like whether he’s chilly or not. Because being chilly is for babies, not big boys like him. As secretive as he is, one thing is as clear—a sneaky little smile crosses his tight lips whenever he puts on this toasty warm vest by Appaman.

So if you’re looking for someone who has something to say, look elsewhere. This kid is keeping things on the down low. Now if you’ll excuse him, to the bat cave.

New York City Saucy

There’s just something about New York City. Whether you live in Texas, Tennessee, or Timbuktu, you know about the pervading NYC vibe that makes everyone from newborns to nannas unbearably chic. And for whatever reason, New Yorkers have definite preference for one color: Black. It makes sense, really. Black is the ultimate neutral to be worn with pretty much everything. It’s a color that should and usually does appear in everyone single person’s wardrobe – from the fairest to the deepest complexions. There’s always a place for the darkest of dark hues.

For some reason, though, when you’re a little one folks often assume that you should be wearing cartoon characters and crazy colors all over. You know better. You know that black is far from boring and when rendered in the right fabric it can be down right saucy! That’s why you choose garments like the girls Shiny Jacket from Anais & I. It’s the right color to wear with jeans or with a party dress, plus it’s sheen makes it clear that it’s not just your everyday parka. It’s functional with a fleece lining.  It’s fantastic; it’s very New York.

Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice

Don’t get us wrong, we are grateful for the whole women’s lib thing. You know, property and voting rights, protection from harassment – that whole bit. But it can’t be denied that we just love all things girly. Even the clichés, sometimes. Isn’t it fun to relish in the “sugar, spice, and everything nice” mantra? Sure, we can play in the mud, chase after puppies and do math with the best of them. When it’s all said and done, though, a good bath and pretty bow transforms that little wild child into a sweet little angel again.

What better way to perform the angelic transformation than with precious little flowers – and in pink! Not just any pink, mind you. A sophisticated cherry blossom pink with flowers in dusty mauve, light lavender and a touch of coral.  Anais and I’s Pleated girls dress delivers that delicious cotton fabric by Liberty of London. That is to say, this is a dress with depth. Just like all little girls, it might be just pretty on the surface, but there are layers that make for a complex and unique individuality.

From the Great Beyond

Have you ever looked at your child and thought, “Where did you come from?” Not in the birds and bees sense because I think we all have a firm grasp on that one. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t really be buying baby clothes, now would we? But in the realm that your child is doing something that really makes such little sense they must be from another planet. Like licking the dog or trying to put their toes in their ear (and actually succeeding).

This UFO baby sweatshirt from Australian brand Munster really captures that sense of “huh” that your little alien might have you feeling. The quaint little flying saucers fly through the sweatshirt with a sort of sweet take me-to-your-leader ease. It’s a dizzying affect that almost rivals the affect you get when you tilt your head against the next odd action your child does. The easy-on snaps at the shoulder mean that putting this sweatshirt on your little own won’t send either one of you to the moon in frustration.

You can consider this comfy and soft sweatshirt an inside joke between you and the universe. Because it understands that your child, as loveable as he or she is, does some out-of-this-world weird things.

In the Lap of Luxury

Mama, poppa, we know your secret. You may dress your kiddies in the best duds and say it’s because you want them to feel good about themselves in the big bad world. But we know what’s really up. That fact is, your child’s wardrobe reflects on YOU. And are you the type to go for cheap fabrics in trendy cuts? Goodness, no.

So the Back Zipper Hooded Sweater from Bon Bon is right up your alley. The cashmere blend, classic cut, and understated color doesn’t just look luxurious – it is. And while keeping baby warm and snuggly on a cool autumn day is paramount, it’s definitely a big bonus that you get to hold something soft and beautiful in your lap – far nicer and infinitely more valuable than any “it” bag.
