Allison Case began Hand Picked Pumpkin with two things in mind - utmost comfort and some fashion standards. She wanted cute knit pants for her wee one, Pierson, that wouldn't constrict his movement while learning to crawl and walk. In her quest, she developed a modern line of limited-edition and custom baby clothing. The customization is an easy three-step process. You simply pick the garment you'd like, choosing from various signature outfits, bottoms, and more. Then, choose the appropriate size. The third step, customizing, is where the fun comes in. If you aren't feeling very creative & prefer to purchase ready-made pieces, Hand Picked Pumpkin offers those as well. Check out the Hand Picked Pumpkin blog, Notions, for information regarding sales & more.
We obviously love funky stuff & that includes funky baby wear. Kicsi Baby Wear is a UK-based company that creates a range of funky, yet practical, baby clothes. Designed by Elaine Player, the offerings are extensive ranging from sleep wear to teething aides. The Margita sleep gown is an adorable print of black stars on a pink background. What better to compliment this cute gown than a matching hat that is perfect for chilly days. Kicsi also offers a variety of funky bibs that make excellent gifts, as well as handy gift sets. Have a look at the Kicsi blog for more information.
KaBoogie Shoes are funky, earthy accessories perfect for your wee one. Audrey is a stay-at-home mom who uses re-purposed suede, leather, wool and other fabrics to create fantastic products. I love the apple tree boogie baby shoes that are adorable. The distressed leather baby shoes are another exquisite design featuring a reverse rawhide leaf applique. And any little girl would look adorable in the raspberry boogie mocs! This shop also features leather wristlets and fleece diaper covers moms are sure to appreciate.
In 1999, Randi Lamb opened her boutique Randoons. Dealing primarily with smaller companies and artists ensures that she stocks unique items you won't find in every shop. Randi also donates a percentage of her "Dog Corner" sales to animal shelters and rescues, and holds an annual fund raiser for Cystic Fibrosis. Randoons carries lots of great items for babies and toddlers, such as the adorable Crib Rock Concert tees. There's also a wonderful selection of doggie tees! The Enchanted Wardrobe consists of hand-painted sweet & funky pieces. How cute is the Sweet Pea Tank? The Lillian's Lace tanks and tees are also fabulous. You could win your choice of a Lillian’s Lace Tank in the August giveaway beginning Monday, August 25!
Most of the moms and moms to be I know are stylish, rockin' chicks. These women do not want to sacrifice their personal style just because they are going to be pregnant for nine months. Rock Star Moms is obviously a company who recognizes this & has created a line of clothing to help such women maintain their unique look during their pregnancy. They have a wide variety of tanks and tees featuring cool designs, such as the Rock Star Moms logo & the humorous floating baby. There's also tons of funky rock shirts. How cool is the Jimi Hendrix Foxy Lady tunic? And for those who are pregnant but still want to support their favorite team, check out the custom NFL tops. Rock Star Moms also has cool pieces for your little girls and babies. Seriously, who wouldn't want to be a rock star mom after checking out these cool duds?
Grace & Go, a company based in South East London, creates a lovely range of contemporary housewares, baby apparel & accessories. These products are not only practical, but are also beautifully designed. I love the artistic designs on the baby onsies that feature an overall image comprised of many smaller images. And any woman would look fabulous carrying one of the black tote bags printed with beautiful metallic silver designs. What initially caught my eye at Grace & Go are the stunning textile designs. The tea towels, aprons & pillow cases look too divine to actually use! And I adore the Mid Century Chairs cushion covers. Stay tuned for the April giveaway where you could win one of these fabulous cushion covers for yourself!
