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.

Lil munchkins make messes and while moms are quick to pull out their
wipes,
wash cloths and stain sticks, there's an easier way to deal with the spills that come with kids.
My Dirty Birdie is a line of genius shirts that incorporate stains in the design. Who better than a tot to pull off the splattered with mud, dropped a lil peanut butter and jelly, or squeezed a bit too much juice from my box tees.

Etsy's
Little Lily has me swooning over her brilliant homemade designs. The beaded felt sugar cookies served up in a take–out box look sweet enough to devour. I can hardly resist the kimono style booties crafted out of choice fabrics.

Heading back to school means stocking up on basic items like notebooks, pencils, socks, tees and sneakers. A popular brand among elementary and tween girls,
Juicy Couture makes frilly and sporty gear to suit the most posh of princesses. The problem is not every mom can (or wants to) pay the label's high prices.

There's nothing cuter than a baby's bare feet, but these booties from
Small Beans ($16-20) come close. The adorable lil slippers are made of wool felt and accented with an elastic button loop closure. Available in a sassy palette of punchy colors from purple to kelly green and adorned with felt flowers and striped ribbons, these shoes are sure to doll up your darling.
