3 Warm and Beautiful Ways to Translate This Steven Alan Coat to Your Home
Yesterday, FabSugar gave readers a sneak peek of designer Steven Alan's Fall lookbook. Filled with cozy, casual, and stylish items including velvet skirts, dotted dresses, and layered trouser looks, I was in love with many of the pieces from the Steven Alan Fall lookbook. My favorite piece, however, was this striped wool car coat. This coat from Steven Alan, which will be available for sale this Read more
Why Kids Love Buddy Blankets
They're huggable, lovable, extremely cozy and soft, and kids love 'em. The irresistible playful pals I'm referring to are buddy blankets. Unlike regular baby blankets, buddy blankets are a bit smaller, usually come trimmed in satin, and have an adorable plush animal attached to them. Because of their two-in-one appeal — featuring a blanket and cuddly stuffed animal in one — it's no wonder Read more
Roundup: Festive Faux Fur
When it comes to fur in my house, I prefer to see it on a very alive Fluffy or Fido — not on a fur throw, rug, or pillow. Luckily, there are plenty of pretty faux fur choices. Throw a faux fur throw on a bed at a ski cabin for a luxe touch, or dress up your sofa with a few faux fur pillows. They definitely add a great touch to a holiday-decorated home. One of my favorite throws is the Inmod Read more
Decorating With Classic Pendleton Blankets
Oregon-based company Pendleton is known for its colorful, quality woolen blankets. While the company expanded into suiting, women's wear, and other home products since it first formed in the late 1800s, the core of the business is still its blankets. Lately, I've seen Pendleton's designs adorning the hipster set in places as diverse as skate shoes and Urban Outfitters towels. It's about time we Read more
Blankyclip: Kid Friendly or Are You Kidding?
Taking cover has never been so cute! Sixty-five percent of LilSugar readers told us that they keep their lil ones under wraps when out in public – either covering their stroller or car seat with a blanket or actually wrapping the tot up to keep him safe. Any mama that has tried to keep her baby covered has undoubtedly fallen victim to the slipping blanket that has a knack for falling off in Read more
At What Age Is It Time to Move On From . . .?
You don't see many kindergartners wearing diapers or popping a bottle in their lunch bag. Some milestones like rolling, talking, and walking just sort of happen and others like giving up a lovey, forgoing a pacifier, and moving from crib to bed are more learned. Some parents help their offspring progress by limiting the time their tot is wheeled around in a stroller or eats in a high chair. Read more
Who Creates the Lovey Relationship, Parent or Child?
Some kids get attached to an item and others don't. There's a lot of talk about lovies — blankets or stuffed animals — to which children have a particular fondness. Like Linus in the Peanuts comic strip, lil ones carry them around or use them to fall asleep. Many parents debate which (if any) age is appropriate to lose the item, and then mom and dad spend a good deal of time trying to coax Read more
Crave Worthy: Dreamy Alicia Adams Alpaca Blankets
Odd as it may be — the Snuggie is a pop culture phenomenon. I admit I haven't put one on or gone on a strangely intriguing Snuggie pub crawl, so I can't really slight the fuzzy blue blanket/throw/robe. Maybe it lives up to the hype, but I have to believe there are more fashionable ways to go about it. Enter Alicia Adams and her deliciously divine Alicia Adams Alpaca Blankets ($385). Made out of Read more
Do You Blanket Your Baby?
When a baby arrives in Tinseltown, all the shutterbugs are out and about trying to snap the first shot of the baby's precious face. The more powerful the parents are in Hollywood, the more money those photographs bring in. One way moms and dads shield their sought after wee one (from all the flashes) is with the old blanket trick over the baby's head or carrier. But other parents practice Read more
