Zipit Baby

As a mom to a 7 month old boy, who is constantly on the move, I am always on the lookout for comfortable, cute and functional clothing. Enter Zipit, a new clothing line created by graphic designer and fellow mom, Ruth Waddingham who recognized the need for a more functional design for squirmy babies. She reconceived babywear by brilliantly adding full front openings and zippers that unzip from the ankle- perfect for quick diaper changes or wider neck openings. Gone are the days of struggling to get a shirt over your little ones head!

I especially love that the scamper pants have reinforced double knees (perfect for crawlers) and a reinforced bottom (perfect for all the little spills). The onesie has a wide zipper opening which makes getting dressed a breeze.

Overall, I was really impressed with the quality and functionality of ZipIt, which is perfect for my crawling baby!

ZipIt carries a wide range of items for boys and girls ranging in size from 0-3 months to 9-12 months.

These are some of my fave summer picks:

What’s in your diaper bag?

Having a 2.5 year old a 5 month old often requires me to cart around a lot! Part of what I love about my diaper bag is the organization system! It has lots of pockets and labels, making it easy to find and store things (no more black holes!!). The sides of the bag zip all the way down, so I can easily find things, without having to toss everything out. Here are my diaper bag must haves broken down into eat, clean and play!

PAIGELAUREN baby Spring 2013

After a long day of work and an hour and a half trip home I was pooped. I nearly crawled up the stairs to get to my front door. I did my usual routine of checking the mail before I unlocked the door and to my surprise there was a package. So of course like a kid on Christmas I couldn’t wait until I got inside to open it. I tried ripping it open right there on the front porch, but I guess I’m a little weakling because it would not budge. I ran upstairs and grabbed the nearest pair of scissors and quickly cut the package open. I discovered the softest most adorable little pieces of clothing inside. I checked the tag and there they were, Baby Rhyan’s PAIGELAUREN baby classic onesie and pant in orange stripe.

My mind immediately began racing on how I wanted to style her with these pieces. The onesie fit perfect; after a couple of uses it sort of stretched out at the leg, but it was still wearable and comfy for Baby Rhyan. She loved it as well. As soon as I put it on her she kept rubbing the shirt. So I say that the 50% micro modal and 50% supima cotton blend is a match made in heaven. The pants were totally cute and were perfect for a playful busy-body baby like mine. They were baby harem pants and allowed enough room for a crawling baby. There was also elastic at the waist and the ankles which makes it more versatile. They can either be long pants or capris. The elastic was not tight and they did not leave marks on baby’s skin like most elastic pants do.

After putting Baby Rhyan to bed I immediately went surfing through PAIGELAUREN baby’s online shop. I was so ready to buy it all. Thank goodness I was tired. I kind of fell asleep with my IPad on my chest. But I did wake up the next day refreshed and ready to share some inspiration with you all. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Meet The New Stokke Strollers

On this past Monday I had the privilege of attending the launch party for the newest Stokke strollers - Scoot and Crusi - that was held by Momtrends.

This event was took place at the Glasshouses in NYC where the guests of honor were displayed in a parking lot with reserved spaces for each stroller. This gave guests the opportunity to look at the strollers and get a feel for them. I must say pushing one of these babies felt like you were pushing clouds. The wheels glide right over bumps which makes it a smooth ride for baby.

 

Stokke Stroller

 Upon arrival each guest was greeted by champagne and Nicole Feliciano, Founder and Editor of Momtrends and Sherri Shubert, Event Manager of Momtrends. The plan for the night was explained to you and you were sent on your way. Each guest had the opportunity to choose accessories from stella&dot and Brahmin, stroller accessories from Stokke, and a stroller to take a pic on the Red Carpet. Nicole helped me do a little shopping for my red carpet look. The women kept it fashionably cute while the guys kept it cool and funny.

There was a Q&A segment with Hilde Angelfoss, the Director of Inspiration and Design (creative genius behind the Xplory). She answered any and every question that was thrown at her. She let us know that Stokke builds their strollers with the best interest of the child in mind. She also stated that when deciding on which stroller is best you should think of the child first. Ask yourself questions like, “Will my child be comfortable?” or “Can my child see me?”.

After the Q&A segment there was a demonstration of how each stroller worked and how to fold them. Trust me it’s easier than they actually look. So easy that when demonstrated everyone’s mouth dropped.

It was a really fabulous event and I look forward to more. Thank you Nicole, Momtrends, and Stokke for a good time and the awesome swag bag. Baby Rhyan is appreciative of the items.

Baby Gap + Peter Rabbit

I’m crazy for modern takes on the classics.  Peter Rabbit is a classic children’s character whose tale has withstood the test of time.  In 1980, my nursery was Peter Rabbit.  My older daughter received a Peter Rabbit feeding set as a shower gift and my younger daughter received a boxed set of the Tales of Peter Rabbit as a baby gift.

Now Baby Gap has teamed up with Peter Rabbit for a literal and ethereal collection.

Baby Gap Peter Rabbit

Here are some of our favorite looks from the Baby Gap Peter Rabbit Collection.

Isn’t it all darling?  Baby Gap has captured the timeless feel of Peter Rabbit while totally keeping it on trend .  This line would also be great for coordinating siblings because the mustard, grey and blue colors are carried through the baby boy and girl lines.

What do you think of the Baby Gap Peter Rabbit Collection?  Will you be shopping the looks for your baby?

J.Crew Baby

If you have been shopping J.Crew‘s mini line, Crewcuts lately you may have noticed a new header under Girls and Boys.  That’s right, J.Crew has launched a baby line!

When my daughter was born almost five years ago I couldn’t wait until she was big enough to wear a size 2 so I could dress her in Crewcuts.  For you lucky soon-to-be moms or moms of infants the wait is over.

J.Crew Baby is ‘just like mom and dad’s only smaller and cuter’ and it is just as pricey.  Onesies run $17.95, cotton pants $24.95, cashmere sweaters $125 and blankets $188.  But can’t you just imagine how soft and luxe these classic infant clothes feel just by looking at them?
