Fab Kids: My Favorite Baby Shops

Thank goodness I had a baby girl.  Lord knows I would have turned a son gay with my obsession for fashion, party planning and decorating.  Surely, I would have raised a fabulous, Korean David Tutera who learned to sashay before he could even walk!  When I was younger, I’ve always dreamed about having a real life doll to dress up and play with.  And these days, I often feel as though I’m living out this childhood dream as I spend my days, feeding, burping, changing and dressing my little cutie up.   The dressing up part is my most favorite.  I go gaga for cute baby clothes.  As my mom says, the clothes are irresistible (as she over-shops and spoils her with more fashions to add to her already bulging closet).   Here are some of my favorite shops.

  • Zuilly, Totsy, Hautelook (think of these as online sample sales)
  • Century 21 for you New Yorkers (I’ve bought everything from dresses to coats and tights here)
  • Old Navy (great for affordable baby shoes)
  • The Children’s Place (has constant sales and email discounts)
  • Baby Gap (Who doesn’t love this classic baby shop?)
  • and much to my delight, JCREW just opened up a baby shop!

Fab Kids : Best Bibs

I guess being a mommy does change everything.  My obsessions have turned from necklaces to baby bibs.  Shopping for baby is so much fun – even more fun than shopping for yourself, dare I say!  Everything is so darn cute and in my moms words, “irresistible” which explains why grandma can’t seem to pass by a children’s department without coming home with another present for my little Juliet.

Once you start shopping for a little girl like I have though, you quickly start to bore of the generic styles that are offered in most baby departments.  You know, the pink this, pink that… same is true for baby bib shopping.  Most bibs are colored in your typical boy blue, or girly pink and have cute but overused sayings on them like “I love mommy” or “daddy’s girl.”  They’re fine but being the fashionista that I am, I was looking for something a little more special.  After scouring the world over in search of the best baby bibs, I’ve come up with these fab finds from Etsy.com where I like to shop for unique one-of-a-kind pieces.  Here are some vintage styled ones from Jan and Rachael that I recently bought.  Check out their shop for more handmade goodies.

My little doll seems to love the pink one the most.

The pink, personalized bib shown above, can have your sweetie’s name featured next to the necklace for just $12 by Too Cool For Drool.   That is especially nice if your baby has a unique not-often-found name.  (Apple, or North West for example)  And The Posh Pea Boutique has tons of fab patterns for your little lady to choose from (sample bibs on right).

And if you’re into black and white and/or modern patterns, look no further than these shops. (from left to right, Babiese The Posh Pea Boutique and Coral Tree)

Drool-worthy, huh?
