Junior Mafia Clothing "Get Money"

When I am searching for clothes for my almost 2 year old son, I often get caught in what I would like to call "Pastel Hell". Many of the clothing items are baby blue, canary yellow and just plain corny!!! Well I recently found a new clothing line for children called Junior Mafia which is a London based company that was started in 2007 and tries to get away from the pastel colors with creating a line that is fresh, innovative and actually cool. The designs have titles like, the signature Junior Mafia tee, Naughty by Nature, Little Diva, My Milkshake Brings all the Babes to the Yard, Bite Me, Talk the Talk, VIP and of course the Bad Boy for Life tee (I LOVE IT). Check out the designs.


This has to be the coolest baby ever!!!

Excellent Ideas for Spring Pictures!

I found these Kaiya Eve pettiskirt outfits from Everything But the Princess and they are perfect for spring pictures for your little darling.

Easter Dresses from Children Salon

Easter is fast approaching and for many mothers this is a time to show off your little princess. I know that this is the wrong reason for going to church on Sunday but here are some gorgeous dresses from different designers on the Children Salon website so I guess I am feeding into the the superficial tradition. The dresses are from designers like, Burberry, Escada, Christian Dior, Alberta Ferretti, and Baby Graziella. These dresses range from $70 to $200.

Alternative Toys for Tots (Yellow Label)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I am slipping, I have not posted in a long time but here are some alternative knit rattles and toys from this company called Yellow Label based in San Fran, Cali. The toys cost around $30, not very practical for a rattle but I had to give them a shout-out for creativity. All the items are handmade!

Funny Youtube Baby Videos

Are You Smarter Than an 8 Month Old?

I recently saw a commercial about these videos that teach babies how to read. The videos focus on visual and auditory recognition of words. I recently bought the product, they offer you a 30 day trial for $14.99 but the entire cost of the product is $199.00. Take a look at the video below.

Johnny Cupcakes Kids

It has been a minute since I've blogged and due to motherhood, that happens sometimes, GET OVER IT...lol. I really like the t-shirt designs by Johnny Cupcakes and when I saw that they now have kids shirts, I am definitely buying my son a few. Below are pics of the classic crossbones tee and the new Panda tee (Freshly Baked, as they would say).

Peach & Plum Online Boutique

I ran across this website for exclusive kids clothes. The website is called Peach and Plum and they have the CUTEST clothes for kids. They have lines like IKKS. Moschino, Monalisa, Kenzo and 3 Pommes. Here are a few of my favorites from IKKS for girls.





Here are a few of my favorites from Monalisa.

Mommy Rant #1

It is a NEW YEAR and I am excited about all of the possibilities but I have a lot on my plate and I've only begun eating (I like that!). I am a mother who is trying to spend quality time with my son without all the distractions from the outside world. I just recently started taking my son to gymboree classes to help him develop social skills by playing with other children.

I am a wife and I am trying to spend quality time with m husband, again without being distracted from the outside world. It's like you become a mother and forget how to be sexy because you now call your husband dad and he calls you mom (you know, so the baby gets use to it and doesn't use your first names).

I am a writer and I am trying to finish three projects that I've been working on. My first fiction book, my memoir and a poetry CD that I've been working on with my brother in-law. I am also a person who likes to read often and I go to the library and book store and get 4 or 5 books at a time and then wonder why they are all half-finished.

This year I am trying to focus more on the present moment, if I am constantly chasing tomorrow I won't live for today (I know it's so cliche) but it's the truth.

Well I am just ranting and I would like to leave you with a list of the books that I am reading. (You may not care but here they are):

A New Earth

Love the One Your With

Now on to blogging about kids fashion.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (Yeah I know it's 11 days into it but I am a busy person so don't judge me) :)

My Kids fashion line is coming this year sometime!
