Eliane et Lena Atsuku Plaid Jumper

It's official: I am starting to feel ready for fall. You know when you reach that point in the summer when you are burned out on going to the pool because you lose interest in maintaining your tan, you're tired of sweating whenever you go outside, you're bored of all your sundresses and skirts... I have reached that point. Hoodies and football and fall leaves are sounding pretty good right about now. This dress reminds me of all things fall, and even dare I say it's Christmasy? By Eliane et Lena, this dress is pre order only right now at Forest and Zoe, but I can see this being a good picture dress, or a good Thanksgiving gathering dress. For only $89.00, you will still have plenty of money to accessorize too!

Juicy Couture Baby Hat and Mittens Gift Set

Aww... how cute would a brand new baby girl look coming home from the hospital in a cute pair of Juicy mittens and a Juicy hat? It seems like babies are popping up left and right; my personal Facebook page is constantly full of birth announcements. It's so much fun to see the babies of friends old and new: who they look like, what they name them, and of course what they dress them in. The holidays are quickly approaching and this set would make a fabulous gift for an expecting friend or family member. Find it for just $28.00 at juicycouture.com.

I Found A Fendi Baby Bottle.

Okay... other than kind of a fun novelty gift so you can shock one of your girlfriends by how much you splurged on them, why would anyone really need a Fendi baby bottle? For the purposes of taking it out into public and proudly whipping it out on a park bench so passers-by can whisper "Was that a..." after they quickly walk past? Probably. But isn't that really the purpose of any logo-covered designer item? It's all about the display, and I am guessing this bottle would fair very well in the shock value category. It's kind of fun, but really? At least it comes with that cute little carrying case. For $129.00, get yours at Alex and Alexa.

Fall Colors from Burberry

Over the years, Burberry's baby items have changed my opinion about the brand completely. What I once saw as a boring plaid-loving over-rated name I now see as an always elegant and classic style that sticks to its roots but always adds new twists. A fine example: this gorgeous red quilted jacket. Burberry comes out with new baby and children's jackets every season, like a lot of them. They are always different, but you can always see one and immediately recognize it as a Burberry. The color of this nylon jacket is beautiful and would also be good for hiding dirt and stains. The hood zips off so if you have one of those children who hates hoods for whatever odd reason, it can be removed. Pair it with these dark jeans and maybe a plain white t-shirt and you are ready for fall. Find the jacket for $165.00 and the jeans for $90.00 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Gucci Rain Boots

I just don't know about rain boots for adults. Some patterns are fun, some are obnoxious... On certain days when it's pouring and I am running through the parking lot in my ballet flats trying to hold up my pants so the bottoms don't get soaked looking like a moron, I think "This is why people wear rain boots." Then I think back to preschool when we had to have these things called "rubber shoes" which I don't even know if they are made anymore but they were just black rubber slide-on shoes that went over your regular shoes to protect them from mud. Then I think back to the days that I was a preschool teacher and the cute little rain boots that kids came in wearing... I probably would die if I ever saw a child waltz in in these: Gucci logo rain boots. They come in either this cocoa color or pink and are most likely made of the finest Italian rubber. My next task will be seeing if there is a matching umbrella. For $145.00, you can buy a pair at Saks Fifth Avenue.

A Sparkly Pink Frilly Girly Dress

The instant I saw this dress, I smiled. Children's clothing is obviously created by adults, and for the most part (aside from tiny baby clothes) the styles mimic whatever is in style for adults that season. Patterns and colors are kid friendly of course, but a lot of the styles are just mini versions of the big people stuff (I feel like I did a horrible job explaining that so hopefully it makes sense). Then you see a dress like this one from Luna Luna Copenhagen and you know this was created with a little girls wishes in mind. Sequins, sparkles, ruffles, frills, and pink pink pink: things that make the majority of little girls go nuts. This dress was created for them, and it makes me smile to think about how many happy ladies out there who will dub this dress as the favorite item in their wardrobe and wear it until it is practically falling apart. For $114.00, you can pre order this at Forest and Zoe.

Baby Dior's New 2011 Print: STARS!!!

So maybe I am not quiet about my random extreme fondness for anything involving stars. After last years Medallion print from Baby Dior was such a smashing hit, I was wondering what we would see gracing their new items for the upcoming season. Much to my pleasant surprise, it is a classic favorite: stars. And what I also love about this new print is that is comes in both pink and blue (as far as I know, there was never a boy version of the Medallion print). I found the star print on the new Dior baby buntings with their cute little peaked hoods. These can be found for a massive $359.00 at Lavish Kids.
