I use ShopStyle Kids, the Sugar Inc. owned search engine for children's clothes and goods, which allows you to browse and shop without ever loading the kids in the car, more than I'd like to admit so I was thrilled to hear the site has added some of my favorite brands. You can now cruise collections from Children's Place, Japanese Weekend, Tutti Bella, Crazy 8, and Janie and Jack.

The weather across the US makes it hard to tell whether to purchase Winter or Spring clothes right now, which is why I love Tutti Bella's tee shirt selection. They are perfect for layering and add a little rocker edge to your lil one's look.

The rainy season has begun out here in California, so I've started searching for fashionable and reasonable rain coats for my lil one. I came across two that were equally adorable at completely different price points.

Simple: The perfectly pink double breasted snap button jacket from Crazy 8 has an adorable navy polka dot lining for the bargain price of $25.
Swank: If you want a little more pizazz, Juicy Couture makes the punchy patent gold snapped jacket with puffy sleeves and "JUICY" across the rear for $192.

While I was stocking up on fab frocks for my daughter the other day, the Crazy 8 clerk tipped me off to their after Thanksgiving sale.

While he couldn't say how much the discount will be on Friday, he did say it would be worth my while. And, that they will be clearing out their current stock and bringing in new stuff.

Whether she's got bound toes or two left feet, every lil girl can be a ballerina, or well, look like one. These fun finds will have her feeling like the prima ballerina.

• Angelina Ballerina books — These sweet stories of a light footed mouse who can't shake dancing from her mind sweep readers off their feet.
• Ballet Topsy Turvy Doll — Held one way this doll is dressed for dance class in a black leotard and white tights. Held the other, she's recital ready in a sparkling ensemble.




• Tutu Couture — FAO Schwarz hosts this online boutique where lil dancers can design the handmade tutu of their dreams.
• Pink Velvet Ballet Flats — These slip on flats are dainty enough for dancing, but their flexible rubber sole provides functionality for every day wear and elastic straps secure them to lil feet.
• Metallic Fleece Ballet Warm Ups — The faux wrap style hoodie with satin neckline trim and matching pants are a cozy way to warm up after a dance session.
• Pink Ballet Slipper Bag — A quilted tote to store the ballet necessities in to and from class.

When it comes to dressing lil ladies, faux fur is beyond fabulous! Considered a staple in the festive wardrobe, the fluffy jackets, coats, capes, shrugs, and vests move from classic to casual, pairing as well with a party dress as they do with denim. And, they are available in just about every size, color, and price range these days.

Whether your lil snow angel is heading out to holiday tea or unwrapping gifts under the tree, she's sure to be snug in fuzz.

Stores that have affordable wardrobe staples for little boys are few and far between.

My 11-month-old son is growing a mile a minute and with his current hobbies of rummaging through the garbage, washing his hands in the toilet and climbing on things, who wants to pay Janie and Jack prices for a four week wear?

A couple of months ago, I was tipped off to a new shop — Crazy 8, a hoodie and henley heaven where the boys section almost outshines the girls. The store which opened in August is The Gymboree Corporation's latest offering providing "cool clothes for kids' crazy lives". And, an answer to my son's clothing crisis. My last shopping spree set me back a mere $140 for 17 items.
