Trendtotting: Mini Moccasins

babysugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 06:00:45 -0700

I can't help but gush at the cuteness of Jason Bateman and his wife Amanda Anka's daughter, Francesca. The 2-year-old recently joined her parents on the red carpet of the 2nd Annual Kidstock Music and Art Festival showing off a bundle of curls, Spring dress and comfy moccasins. Francesca's earthy kicks are slightly more traditional than colorful Swedish Moccasins, but still perfect for her age group because they are flat and allow her to play without worrying about losing her shoes. Check out Minnetonka for a selection of similar moccasins for infants and toddlers, ranging in price from $18 to $30.

Ralph Lauren Tribe Moccasin, Chocolate - $38.00	Ralph Lauren Captain EZ Moccasin - $40.00
UGG® Australia 'Dakota' Moccasin (Toddler, Little Kid & Big Kid) - $59.95	Boys' Dante Suede Moccasins - Tan - $6.49
Ralph Lauren Leather Moccasin - $35.00

Supersize This: Minnetonka Boots for Baby

I love winter for one reason – boots. I like to wear them and naturally adore when my daughter does too.

These darling Minnetonka boots ($19) made me swoon. I bought them in the light suede color since they match most of my wee one's wardrobe. If I can find them in my size, I just might match my tot!

Fashion Week: Let the Animal Out of Baby

babysugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 09:00:15 -0800

I remember seeing these darling animal print moccasins ($42 – $44) when I was pregnant and swore I would buy them if I had a baby girl. Well, now I am eating my words because I missed the boat. My daughter's one and the precious footwear only comes in size 0–6 months.

If you know a pregnant mama who is expecting a girl, these fab shoes are sure to be a hit at her baby shower. The festive prints are adorably highlighted with bright contrasting stitching and lining. Oh, how I wish they came in my size!

Trendtotting: Swedish Moccasins

babysugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 07:04:56 -0800

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is look for my slippers to warm my feet especially on brisk mornings. My babe can't wear slippers yet and socks would work, but she pulls them off too quickly. So when I found these funny looking Swedish Moccasins, I knew they would solve the problem and were thrilled when they were even cuter on than imagined.

At $18 a pair (and some select colors are $10 on sale right now), I am tempted to buy them in a few colors. My tot has worn hers to bed, all over the house, around the yard and has yet to pull them off. They have a soft leather bottom, which keeps her from skidding around hardwood floors. And, like regular socks but unlike most shoes, they are machine washable.

One princess holds another. Like many 4-year-old girls, Matilda Ledger appears to be a Cinderella fan. The princess-toting tot held her mama's hands through the streets of Brooklyn, where they eventually made their way to the young lady's school. Bundled up for a day out, the pretty pair wore complementary shades of gray, pink, and black.

The lil Ledger rocked her cozy Minnetonka moccasin booties, tights, and a pink-and-oatmeal striped dress. To top her look off, she mashed it up with a gray wool jacket complete with toggles and big pockets for her princess's safekeeping. Mommy Michelle looked effortlessly chic and stylish in her straight ankle jeans, printed blouse, and pale pink ballet flats. Like daughter, like mother - Michelle also completed her outfit with a snazzy leather jacket and a pair of old-school Ray-Bans.

We can't wait to see what this super duo has in store for Halloween!

Class club toddler wool-blend duffle coat with scarf - $70.00	Oatmeal Rugby Stripe Dress - $50.00
Minnetonka Infant/Toddler Velcro Back Flap Boot - $19.95	Limik - $700.00
Ankle stretch toothpick jean in black resin rinse - $125.00	H81 Star Floral Woven Shirt - $19.90

Great Anatomy: Pregnant Ellen Pompeo Is Fit and Fabulous

babysugar — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 08:00:15 -0700

On-screen and off, actress Ellen Pompeo has always been understated in her fashion and beauty choices that made her more attractive in my eyes. Before pregnancy, her thin frame and natural look created the perfect canvas for fashion forward looks, but her new curves have added an extra glow and style to her existence. Looking better than ever, the mama-to-be is even making my girl Fab look forward to pregnancy... now that's sayin' something!

In lieu of frumpy frocks, the Grey's Anatomy star often chooses both frame fitting and flowy black dresses and tunics and accents them with Grecian sandals and gold laden hobo bags. When she's not working out in her spandex, she rocks tie-dye dresses and moccasin boots for a casual look. A maternity role model to expectant ladies, I'm sure her mini me will be sportin' some pretty stinkin' cute threads, too!

Make the Honor Role With Hip Styles For Girls

LilSugar — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 05:00:00 -0700

Even lil girls who are fussing about returning to school take some delight in picking out their first day of attire. Careful planning and discussions with friends will likely take place leading up to the first day back. Before heading to the mall, or clicking open a new computer window, check out our picks for some of the hottest styles for girls this year.

White House Style – The Obama girls' love of classic looks, and Crewcuts, will serve as inspiration for many girls this season. Copy the look with a ruffled cardigan, an A-line cord skirt and a traditional rubber rain boot to keep her tootsies dry.
Layers and Layers – Add some depth to your kiddo's look by layering pieces together. Start with a basic foundation, like a pair of skinny jeans, add a blouse and vest – which is all the rage this year – and finish the look off with some moccasin-inspired boots that fit snug over her jeans.
Leggings All the Way – The leggings craze is far from over, with this year's styles boasting buttons, zippers and patterns. Top off a pair with a striped tunic and some comfortable ballet slippers for a chic and casual look.
