Ok, these were not swag- but found them at a too cool for school kid's shop on Main street called Prospect.
My 20 month old has not taken them off.
check out the adorable styles. drooling.
the sales girl said Halle Berry's wears them. ha! celeb endorsed.
they are animal-killing free, shock-absorbant, anti-macrobial, waterproof and all sorts of other amazing things.
crocs are so 2009.
Urban glamour for the mini fashionista in your life.
Feather skirts, sequin dresses, faux fur coats, avant-garde graphic slub tees.
(Wonder if I can wiggle my way into the largest size?)
It's not just cuz I happen to be lucky enough to be a guest artist for curio & kind. (see: the ballerina and mask tee below!) that has me head over gaga for this debut line.
It is tooo-die for (see for yourself) and already flying off the shelves of stores like Fred Segal, Lost and Found, and Eggy -- some of my favorite LA kids stores.
Natasha Barrett and Anita Pocsik, the best-friends/creative force behind the line say it best: “Recognizing both the sweet and mischievous side of every child, curio+kind is a collection inspired by history, art, nature and love. These themes are balanced with adult styling and ultimate comfort, leaving the kids happy and Mom a little jealous.
Working with a diverse range of guest artists and designers, curio+kind celebrates individuality, sophistication, humor and comfort.
The curio+kind collection features a complete range of outfits for children aged 2-14. Suitable for parties or the playground, signature pieces include supima cotton slub t-shirts with original graphics, cozy outer-wear and knitwear, easy jersey dresses, specialty sequin, feather, and silk silhouettes, swimwear, jewelry and hair accessories.
curio+kind will be available this week at Fred Segal, Eggy, Lost and Found, Wonderland, select Nordstrom and boutiques across the country.
RUN!!
ridiculously awesome kid funness found here
we are lovingg this. ok, i had a hard time following the, uh, 4 step assembly directions, but it's up and man is it cute!

Set up your table and chairs, add a cash register, some gingham napkins and the Little Play Spaces table menu (see above) and "voila!" - we could be in Paris.
Now stand back, listen in and watch while your little dramatists' creative minds go to work. Perhaps they could make their own 'Le Monde' newspapers for the table, or create their own Croque Monsieur and cookies out of cardboard and pens, or stick works of art to the interior walls? The possibilities are endless!

my fave shop for clothes i try to fit in even though they are supposed to be for tweens.
Juvie, the tween clothing boutique, knows that it's always after school starts when kids really figure out what they want to wear this fall.
That's why they're running a 20% off everything sale, now through Sunday.
Give your kid's fall wardrobe a boost with promo code BOOSTER, and take 20% off faves like a hooded faux fur vest, Joe's Jeans, and Libertalia girl's tunic tops.
It's a major score when I can steer my 4.5 year old girl away from all things Disney when it comes to her predominantly pink and purple sparkle-princess inspired wardrobe. No matter how hard you try the Princess crap will creep in whether you like it or not. It's preschool DNA or something. It's a wardrobe malfunction nightmare that I've surrendered to. It's at the point now where I save myself a Target return-shlep and go straight for the giant Ariel swathed nightgown.
But something cool happened when I slipped her a little GLUG.
(Did you got to the website yet? Plotzing.)
SHE DUG IT.
You can imagine my glee.
I picked up a few pieces purely as an experiment and with basically no prodding, she was like: I DIG IT! (More like "I can wear this skirt tomorrow and Noa (her BFF) is gonna loooveee it! Is it so cool, mom?")
Click here for retail stores that sell it and online shops.
And when my baby boy gets bigger I'll shop for him here.
It was time. After all, my daughter is four and a half and the only time I cut her hair was to get some mysterious sticky material out of it when she was around 2. It was a disaster. Disheveled, uneven, un-tamable. Not to mention the texture had gone haywire from all the odd lengths - straight on top, curly on the bottom (?!). We were in dire need of professional help.
Seeing as Aria doesn't like me to even touch her hair without a lot of coaxing (bribing), I could not envision this fantasy professional cut ever happening.
And then we found THE YELLOW BALLOON. A family owned biz in it's 25th year of making children far and wide (it's in the Valley and peeps in my hood over the hill told me it's the only place to go) look presentable all the while having a blast doing so.
Aria was greeted with candy and toys (hey, whatever it takes) and every girly princess thing imaginable. Watch out feminist moms, your daughter will be shedding sparkles and glitter more than a pageant kid for days, but who cares - they got the job done. And seeing that for Aria sparkles and glitter make the world go round, it was one of her most fun days of the summer. I was in shock as my squirmy-get-your-hands-off-my-hair kid sat there dutifully, nary a tear on cheek, as Sabrina performed her magic on her nappy head. Aria in turn fake blow dried a giant Barbie head on her lap while inhaling Twizzlers. 'Twas a vision to behold.
And there are several awesome deals. A Baby's First Haircut thing that saves a lock, takes a photo and all that kind of stuff. Another one where mom's can get their roots done for free if you buy your kid a haircut. Etc.
The place is jam packed with fun stuff to keep your kiddies movin' and groovin' and in the mood. It's like Willy Wonka for haircuts.
We got a hole punch card where you buy a bunch of cuts and get one free. Like my Angelina Yogurt card!
Oh, and of course, we came home with a big yellow balloon.
