Fairy Tales and Folklore childrens fashion and gift trends
Little Red Ridinghood… Humpty Dumpty…This Little Piggy…
Fairytale and Folklore inspirations are leading the way in the children’s boutique fashion trends for the fall and winter seasons. Topping our list of designers heading this trend are Right Bank Babies, Lilliputians-NYC, Poesy for Babies and Baby Aspen Gifts. Designers are using the nostalgic themes inspired by childhood books and stories and parents are eating it up.
In today’s world of video games and electronics, modern moms and dads are ecstatic to introduce their little ones to their own childhood memories; a simpler time where video games didn’t exist and instead, playing London Bridges and catching the fair lady or reading fairy tales of the Big Bad Wolf and singing nursery rhymes were the leisure time activities of choice.
So, it’s no big surprise when some of today’s best children’s boutique designers started to create their fairytale and folklore fashions that parents started buying them just as fast as they were put on the sales floor. With an eye for detail and quality production these fashions are also becoming treasured heirlooms to hand down to the next generation keeping the folklore and fairy tales of our ancestors alive long after the Wii has become obsolete.

Baby, It’s Hot Outside!
It’s been a hot start to the summer in So Cal – what happened to June gloom? This weekend in OC we saw temperatures in the high 90’s! So, it makes it completely fitting to announce that our new summer fashions have arrived and we know you’re going to love them! Right Bank Babies doesn’t disappoint with this seasons adorable new fabrics found on their Retro Reversible Dresses, Rompers and Mix and Match bloomers. Our moms love the fit and retro feel and children love the comfort. These fashions are inspired by the retro smock dresses of the 60’s and 70’s. Wear them layered together or alone for completely different looks and as your little one grows, the dress becomes a great smock top over a long sleeve blouse, jeans or a pair of our Skid Pants or BabyLegs – the looks and possibilities are endless.
Of course, not to be over-shadowed Knuckleheads for boys is as cool as ever. The retro and rock-a-billy look and feel of the shorts and tops can’t be beat as the coolest fashions available for boys. The longer Dickies look shorts and whimsical tees make it easy to decide what your little ones going to wear because he’ll pick it out himself. These fashions will quickly become his favorite because the cool styles will remind him of dad and they’ll become your favorites because of the many details, i.e. adjustable waiste shorts and wash and wear care. Oh, yeah and they are just so cool!

Brides Against Breast Cancer Event
I’m sorry I didn’t know about this even earlier or about the organization because I think it is great! I saw Brides Against Breast Cancer on a local LA news channel this weekend and was hooked. This organization is doing so much for women and men who are currently battling breast cancer, a cause that touched my life when my mom was diagnosed and later passed away from breast cancer. Please take a moment and visit their website and find if there is anyway in which you can contribute to this cause – either by volunteering or donating – every action makes a difference. Visit their site at http://bridesagainstbreastcancer.org/
We’ve Been Featured…On The Radio And See What Style Cafe Moms and TCKidz Had To Say About Saige Nicoles!
Yesteday, February 7, 2008 I was interviewed by Tamara Pruessener, of Mommy’s Getaway on her Blog Talk Radio show. I had a great time and Tamara was very easy to speak with. It was a fun, lighthearted interview and we easily spoke for 15 minutes! I could have used an hour and not stopped talking. Please check out Mommy’s Getaway at Mommysgetaway.com or click here to hear the interview http://www.blocktalkradio.com2008/07/08/Work_At-Home-Mom-Month.
We were spotted on www.TCKidz.comwhere they raved about their love affair and “addiction” of our fabulous boutique! Featured was our adorable and incredibly versatile minky dot, hooded cover-ups (shown in the above picture). About TCKidz: TCKidz is one of the Southeast Coasts (Treasure Cove) best resources for Modern Moms. they publish a fabulous magazine, that highlights the best of the best for Modern Moms; from party ideas, and vacation spots for families, to the best places for modern moms to shop (that’s us!).

The Business of Being Born: A Must See for Anyone Who is Having or Will Have a Baby Soon
I received an e-mail earlier this week from a couple of Mompreneur colleagues of mine who currently facilitate and are trained in Itsy Bitsy Yoga www.itsybitsyyoga.com, 949.244.5603 and will soon open a holistic living location, Oasis Child, here in Orange County. I would encourage anyone who is currently pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant to attend the viewing of a new documentary film called The Business of Being Born. I am not advocating the film; as I have not yet seen it yet but I believe in being informed and making decisions that are right for you. When you click on the title you will be directed to the web-site where you can also find special screenings of the film across the U.S.
