take good notes...

i saw this notebook paper onesie on hoot design and thought it was fantastic. wanted to pass it along to you! available through artware editions, the E for Effort style will look studious and smashing on any baby.

max-imum love

My husband and I welcomed the arrival of our son, Max, on April 29th and we can't get enough of him. Now - I fully realize I can't substitute him for the dolls I used to dress up as a child - but I must admit...getting him ready every morning has scratched that itch. Thank you, Julie of jujudesigns for this darling onesie. Visit her blog to see more of her creations.

Dwell Studio

Waiting for me yesterday when I got home from work was the new Dwell Studio catalog. Since my husband was out of town last night and I wasn't able to curl up next to him - this was a pretty fun substitute. Dwell's baby line is of utmost interest to me right now since I'm, well...9 months pregnant. The line never fails to impress me with their adventurous patterns that are both aesthetically pleasing and hip. I'm all for "sweet" baby products - but Christiane mixes fresh and vibrant shapes and colors...making nursery decor, baby clothing & accesories modern, hip and just plain cool.

little bean

spring has arrived at little bean! i'm coming to realize that unique and cool baby boy clothing is much harder to find than baby girl clothing. thank you, little bean, for giving me independent designers with hard-to-find pieces i won't see on any other little ones (unless their moms frequent your shop, of course.)
