Dolce & Gabbana Pony Skin Baby Bag...

I just don't know what to make of this... I love animals, but I am not a PETA activist. I eat hamburgers (not just organic hamburgers, but gross hamburgers from fast food restaurants on occasion) but do not buy any animal skin/fur/whatever products. Mainly because I cannot afford them, but even if I could, I think they are kind of gross. I donate to the humane society, I have a cat that if anyone hurt a hair on her adorable head I would do very bad things to them. I love animals. So a baby bag made of 100% leather pony skin? I am not going to knock anyone who has one because if you like this kind of thing, I am okay with that. It's just not my bag... no pun intended. But could you guiltlessly teach your baby that a horsey says "neigh neigh" when you just pulled that animal sounds picture book out of a bag made of a baby horse? Maybe I am the only person who thinks of weird things like this. See this bag for $1520.00 at childrensalon.com.

Fendi Baby Cashmere Blanket

Designer baby blankets are kind of an anomaly for me. When I was little, I had multiple blankets. They all had names, but the only name I can remember was that of my favorite pink blanket that I randomly called Annie. When I did something good, I got a new blanket. I may or may not still sleep with my first blanket ever (knitted by my grandmother that I came home from the hospital in) to this day. I took my blankets everywhere and they in turn took a beating because of it. If you purchase a designer baby blanket, like Fendi's Zucca Print Cashmere Blanket which retails for $345.00, you might want to keep it under lock and key. It can be your baby's favorite blanket... but only in the comfort of your own home. See details of this lovely luxury at childrensalon.com.

Burberry Baby Ivory Snowsuit

Burberry is slowly winning me over through its baby items. I used to think it was overrated. Then I see things like this snowsuit, and it makes me a flip flopper. Not only is it gorgeous, it is filled with down and lined with fleece so your little designer baby will be nice and cozy. The mittens, booties, and hood are all detachable... and just so no one has to guess, the words "Burberry Baby" are stamped across the front. For $268.00, this can be seen at childrensalon.com.

Butterfly Ballet Slippers

These leather baby ballet slippers are proof that there are sources outside of Dior and Dolce & Gabbana for luxury baby shoes. These are real leather. And have a satin ribbon on the back. And a sequin butterfly on the toes. Found at luxurybabynursery.com, these fantasy-tastic baby shoes can be yours for $48.39. 

Bling Bling Baby Rattle

I mean... why wouldn't you want a Swarovski crystal-encrusted rattle? I never really got the whole "blinged out" extravaganza that started sweeping the nation, but apparently I am in the minority because it still seems to be going strong. For whatever odd reason, I do kind of like this thing though. Sterling silver, pink crystals, white bow... I guess it is kind of appealing. Maybe more to me that I am willing to admit. Give a much-talked-about baby gift to someone you love by purchasing this $165.00 piece of bling at thefrogandtheprincess.com.

Willow Pavillion Playhouse

Now this is absolutely fantastic. When I was little and now, I have always had a thing for harems. I love how they are exotic and fancy and yes I have been a harem on three separate occasions for Halloween. That is what this playhouse reminds me of, and it makes me wonder how many different things little imaginations could turn it into. I would have died for one of these when I was little. See this $640.00 piece of geniusness at thefrogandtheprincess.com.
