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!

Time to Turn That Guest Bedroom Into a Nursery!

babysugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:00:08 -0700

When baby makes three, it's time to take that extra bedroom in the house and convert it into a darling nursery. To kick off our nursery makeovers, I'm dishing on how I turned my scary old guest bedroom into a nursery with the hopes you will share yours with us, too! Join our Revamping Baby's Room group over in the LilSugar community and share your before and after pictures. Your room and style could be featured on the site.

To see the room and all of the improvements I made, just read more.

During my first pregnancy, I paid attention to every detail to ensure she and I would both enjoy every moment in her abode. I chose to paint stripes in a gender-neutral green and decorated around that. I picked a white matelasse bedding with sage scalloped trimming and matching gingham sheets for her white crib. I mixed up the prints a bit with a toile glider that just so happened to have gingham piping, too. I picked up the bookcase at an antique flea market, painted it white, and replaced the knob with a delicate bird-adorned pull I scored from Anthropologie. And instead of spending a mini fortune on wall art, I painted a few animals and framed them with yellow gingham paper and white frames from IKEA. The final touch was hanging the gifted hot air balloon in the corner for my baby to gaze at as she lay on the changing table.

Stripes, polka dots, gingham or animal prints? When it comes to picking nursery bedding, parents can drive themselves crazy trying to decide between all of the adorable options. Leave the tough decision making to wall art and use simple crib sheets to match the rest of the decor.

The Pottery Barn Kids plush chamois fitted sheet ($49) is all baby needs. Outfit baby's cocoon with the cozy cover allowing the infant to snuggle up to a cushy surface. Parents who follow the AAP's recommendation of not allowing blankets in the crib will find comfort in the warmth the velvety layer provides.

Fox Paws For Foxy Babes in the City

babysugar — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:00:24 -0700

Look out Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, baby's got a new pair of shoes and they're not made for mama. Who needs Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahniks when there is uberstylish foot candy in the form of Fox Paws. Fashion plates like Suri Cruise and Stella McDermott should make these staples in their droolworthy wardrobes.

Lasses can pick from a variety of animal prints in a loafer or peep-toe style. Cold weather babes may cry out for a pair of the snakeskin or giraffe hide boots. And not to be forgotten, lil men won't be overshadowed in a pair of boat shoes or tiny weejuns. I'll bet fashion mama Sarah Jessica Parker, will find the zebra peep-toe flats perfectly suitable for her twin ladies on the way.
