Cotton on Kids Tees: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?

LilSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Cheeky baby tees are too much for some families. Moms and dads who snatched up the Famous on Facebook onesie for their youngsters are steering clear of more brash tees made by Cotton on Kids. The simple shirts have sayings from "The condom broke" to "Pardon my nipple breath" and "I'm living proof my mum is easy" to "Practice safe sex" scribbled across their chests. Some parents are saying the controversial tees have crossed the line and should be pulled from the market. What's your take?

Beyonce Likes Her Nephew So She Put a Shirt on Him

LilSugar — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:00:50 -0700

Earlier this week, Beyonce filled the role of favorite auntie with her sister, Solange's son, Julez. While the two spent quality time together shopping in Beverly Hills, the 4-year-old sported a "My Auntie Rocks" tee (you can get a onesie just like it here). Tops giving props to parents and family members have become increasingly popular over the years. Shirts have slogans from "My Dad's Mr. Wonderfull" to "Grandma's My Favorite" to "My Mom's Hot" and just about any other form of kudos you can imagine.

My own kids have received the sassy tees as gifts, but I've never felt comfortable having my 2-year-old wear the one that compliments me when we're out together. What's your opinion on this?

Lil Find: Pogo Stick Tee

Pogo sticks provided endless hours of entertainment for my siblings and friends when we were growing up, so I started jumping for joy (though I could never quite balance on the stick!) when I spotted this Pogo Stick tee ($20).

The casual top has a vintage-meets-skater-kid feel to it and is perfect for playdates. It may take a few tries to convince your modern kids to drop the Wii or take off the Heelys and hop on the good old Pogo stick, but I guarantee giggles when you do.

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.

Trendtotting: Tees that Speak the Twooth

babysugar — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:00:44 -0700

Ever have a hard time deciphering what your lil one is trying to tell you? After a while, a mother can clarify to others that "waga" translates to "water" and "peas" does not connote the green veggies, but "please." Take one of your tot's most mangled vocabulary words and memorialize it with a Temporary Language tee.

Parents choose an image from a gallery of 100 plus pictures, enter their child's version of the word along with the legitimate translation. For $30, your babe will be a walking talking self–identifying dictionary for those surrounding him. And, you'll have a tangible memento of his "faborit whuurd."

If, on the other hand, subtlety is your wee one's middle name, consider the "Mom and Dad Butterfly" tee to suit everyone's flutter fancy.

Baby Bump: Pregosaurus Rex

babysugar — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:01:00 -0700

When posed with the question, "Is pregnancy tougher for the man or woman?" 89 percent of you voted for the woman. That said, there are times when a hormonal expecting lady can make it tough on those around her.

For those devilish moments, the Pregosaurus Rex tee ($24) may bring humor to a tense or frigid atmosphere. Underneath the skeletal creature reads, "It can make you extinct!" Just wait until motherhood begins gentlemen.

Trendtotting: Mysterio Predicts

babysugar — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:01:00 -0700

You may know the gender of your unborn baby, but I'll bet money you don't know if he or she will turn out to be a romance novelist or dog show judge. Only Mysterio knows what the future holds for the belly's temporary resident.

Presented in a sewn up pouch, Mysterio Predicts tees ($13) are sold with the prophecy unknown to the buyer or the gifted. Of the twelve possible outcomes, some are: game show host, mafia accountant, criminal mastermind, donut tycoon and monkey wrangler. A clever creation, mothers–to–be and her surrounding guests are sure to get a kick out of the unexpected gift at baby showers. Good luck to those of you who end up with a famous hog calling champion - I predict some sleepless nights for you!

Supersize This: Deacon Phillippe's World Peace Please Tee

babysugar — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 09:00:21 -0700

Make no mistake about it, Deacon Phillippe is one cool kid who knows what he wants. The cutie patootie is well schooled in one subject - manners. When asking for profound favors, a simple "please" goes a long way.

Instead of demanding global harmony, this World Peace Please ($39) tee says it politely and with a bit of grace. If the pink and white striped number came in my size, I'd buy a few for present and future causes. The classic white dove on the back gives the tee a charming lil look.

Trendtotting: Baby Talk Tees

I don't usually care for baby talk tees that have become popular, but these are entertaining. Sure to make adults, moms and dads chuckle, the Baby Brewing tees ($16) are not crass like others in the category. My personal favorite is "Mommy's little birth control."
