Simple or Swank: White Lace Purses

babysugar — Fri, 01 May 2009 12:00:34 PDT

One way to keep mama's purse from getting too full of her mini-me's knickknacks is to give princess her very own tote. Instead of marking my wallet up with crayons, my daughter carries her wares with her wherever she goes. Spring into Summer with one of these delicate, white pocketbooks that is sure to go with any flouncy dress in her armoire.

Simple: Instead of treating the tot to an ice cream cone, use the $4 in the wallet for the zippered eyelet Children's Place purse that is reminiscent of Jackie O.

Swank: Shaped like a large coin purse, the $16 lace adorned Janie and Jack option has a clasp closure and a large bow for the tiniest of divas.

Check Out New Retailers on ShopStyle Kids!

LilSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 12:00:00 PST

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.

babysugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:00:50 PDT

While most of the country still sits in a Summer heat, the Fall fashions are patiently waiting to be perused. In an effort to get a head start on my wee one's wardrobe necessities, I stopped by Janie and Jack and found a plethora of drool-worthy jackets for both lads and lasses.

Trendtotting: Faux Fur and Fabulous

LilSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:00:03 PST

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.

Jennifer Garner Pre-Holiday Shops With Violet and Seraphina

Katie Henry — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 10:11:32 PST

Jennifer Garner packed up the car and ventured out in LA's rainy weather yesterday on a shopping trip to the Janie and Jack boutique with her girls, Violet and Seraphina. The trio was joined by a nanny, who held hands with Violet and Seraphina as Jen picked out holiday outfits for the pair. Jen's been spending lots of time with her daughters over the past month while her husband, Ben Affleck, wraps up production on his latest acting and directing project, Argo. Ben was overseas filming in Turkey a few weeks ago, and he reportedly spent Saturday in Washington DC. Hopefully Ben, Jen, and the girls will reunite on Thursday for a festive Thanksgiving, and they have lots to be grateful for this year with a new baby Affleck on the way next year.

Bundle up in style this season! Temperatures are dropping, and a lightweight coat or heavy Fall sweater just won't do much longer.

From puffer jackets to sophisticated tweeds, there's something to suit everyone's tastes among these Winter styles.

Save Our Skin: Adorable Rash Guards For Sunseeking Tots

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:32:32 PDT

Summer seems like the perfect season for stripping down to the bare minimum, but for lil ones headed out in the sun, it's time to cover up. Rash guards do a whole lot more than simply keeping sand from rubbing against wet skin. Today's garments provide UPF protection as well, helping lil ones keep the sun's harmful rays at bay. Check out my picks for beach and pool wear that won't have tots ripping the shirts off.

Clockwise from top left: Patagonia Baby Long-Sleeve Sun-Lite Top ($29), Lands End, Short Sleeve Graphic Orange Rash Guard Shirt ($20), Cabana Life Hamptons Swim Set ($45), UVSkinz Casey Swim Shirt ($25), REI Long-Sleeve Rashguard ($25), Janie and Jack Watercolor Dot Rash Guard Set ($22), Cabana Life Rash Guard 3-Piece Set ($50).

OnSugar Blog: For Boys and Girls Shoes I Love Zappos

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 03:16:16 PDT

Lots of moms like to think out loud and PatiBF is one of them. Here is a post from her Baby Style blog.

It is hard to find cute kids' shoes! I've been on the hunt for Sandra lately because she has decided to grow out of a lot of her pairs. It is very sad . . . especially for her leopard gladiators . . . but we got a lot of use out of those babies! Anyway, it's a hard time to shop since we're between seasons.

My go-to for fashionable and comfortable kids shoes (Zara) is currently having a huge sale, which is good in one sense, but it also means there are slim pickins and nothing left in Sandra's size. Truthfully, between seasons or not, the only cute shoes I can find at a brick and mortar store come from Zara or Janie & Jack. The latter of which don't fit Sandra's chubby feet anymore!

Thankfully, there is Zappos, they carry two of my favorite kids brands, which I can rarely find anywhere else, Cienta and Elephantito. Check out all the cute options I found above. And yes, I put the gray booties on there twice because I love them for boys and for girls!
