Old-School Sleepover Staple Caboodles Celebrates 25 Years

Updated 01/27/12 1:05 PM · Posted by · 0 comments

In my sleepover heyday, you just weren't "It" unless you had arrived with your very own Caboodles (I had two: one metallic purple and one half teal and half pink. Hey, it was the late '80s). After introducing its first cosmetic organizer in 1987, Caboodles became a phenomenon after People magazine ran a picture of Vanna White using a plastic tackle box to store her makeup. (Yep, super '80s.) Soon, every lil girl I knew had one, and we stocked them with scrunchies, Love's Baby Soft, Dr Pepper-flavored ChapStick, and many other 10-year-old beauty necessities.

But like my little pals, Caboodles has grown up. The brand's more-sophisticated cases have appeared on Project Runway, Gossip Girl, and Desperate Housewives and have earned fans like Christina Applegate, Khloe Kardashian, and Whitney Port. Some of Caboodles's cutest cases — it offers more than 70 products — are still perfect for little girls. The hot-pink Go-Getter case, My Style petite train case with hearts, and Two of a Kind case in purple snakeskin (prices range from $5 to $40) would make any girl smile.

Lotty Dotty Interactive Paper Doll Shirts: Ga Ga or Gag?

Updated 01/27/12 1:38 PM · Posted by · 3 comments

Telling your tot to "stop fidgeting with her clothes" takes on a whole new meaning these days. Paper dolls have moved off the table and onto the computer, so why shouldn't they jump to your lil one's shirts as well? Paris-based Lotty Dotty's doll shirts ($45) are just the thing for budding fashionistas who can't get enough of designing.

The interactive t-shirts allow kids to pick one of five "girls" to be silk-screened onto organic shirts. Clad in a Velcro bathing suit, the girls can then be dressed up in the included signature tutu dress and an accessory of their choosing. Additional dresses, outfits, and accessories ($12 - $30) can be purchased separately, allowing for multiple outfit changes throughout the day. The children's shirts — ranging from sizes suitable for kids three and up — are also available in adult versions. Would you buy one for your kid?
