Are these the most stylish nappy pants in the world?
As we mums know, there's nothing more perfect than your own baby's bottom - but, given that it's not quite the thing to leave it unclad, you may wish to consider stylish nappy pants as the next best thing.
I haven't seen any more stylish than these offerings, which utilise the design from Fifties wrapping paper - love it! It's certainly one way to make your baby's bottom stand out from all the rest. Yes, I know, as if you need to...

Småfolk: Rad designs for small ones, and big ones too
I am a child of the late Sixties/early Seventies, therefore, it is with nostalgia rather than irony that I look at the designs of Småfolk, and love them. I'm willing to bet these designers are of a similar age to me.
Take a look at the whole range via the link above. In the UK, you can purchase via Nordic Kids; if you are elsewhere, I think the best thing to do would be to contact Småfolk direct through their website.

Joules
Joules is a clothing company positioning itself at the heart of a very traditional aspect of British life: its rural heritage. Launched at a number of County Shows, among livestock competitions and fertiliser stands, the products were pitched at country folk: horse-riders, dog-breeders, farmers and their wives.
It's as good a place as any to find your niche. And now it seems the company has decided to expand. I, along with thousands of other urbanites, found a Joules leaflet inside my Sunday paper last week, and had my eyes opened to this appealing vision of a Britain where children dress nicely for tea and perhaps enjoy a round of croquet of a sunny afternoon. Joules seem to have a particular penchant for wrapping little girls, like parcels, in bands of ribbon: for a special occasion I have to agree that this is a very sweet look.
Like so many of these rarefied brands though, Joules offers special clothing that costs that little bit more, while being that bit less practical for everyday usage. Thus, I'm forced to conclude: for weddings, christenings, and those rare occasions when you get invited to the Henley Regatta or an Eton garden party, Joules is your best bet.

Bird on the Wire (& Suicidal) Hairclips
Ok, so yeah - the name of this French company is just plain bizarre. Let's get that out of the way right off. However, while you might not think that a company with a name like "Suicidal" would produce cute little barrettes, you would be mistaken. This precious white bird, made of lucite and set on a silvery hairclip, could grace any little girl's locks and you would be none the wiser as to its questionable origin.
Available at suicidalshop.

Giraffe halter dress from Appaman
I'm really liking the clothes that Appaman is designing these days -cheerful bold colors and wearable dresses for running around the playground. This halter-style dress has a graphic giraffe in a contrasting purple which makes it a nice color combo on the citrusy orange.
Available at Small Concept where everything is 20% off sitewide for Mother's Day.

Xenotees
Want a t-shirt for your kid that will not only make your head spin but will also give you a bit of an education? Check out Xenotees' t-shirts, designed by a Philadelpia animal lover who donates $2 per t-shirt sold to help strays. Over 100 terms used for describing several of the same animal are listed in a winding circle on organic cotton. Who knew that there really was an "unkindness of ravens" or a "smack of jellyfish"?
Available at the Xenotees' Etsy shop.

Les Petites Choses
I'm dusting off my (formerly decent) French in preparation for a trip to Geneva this summer for a wedding, so it really was a treat when I stumbled upon Les Petites Choses. This French company (en anglais, "The Little Things") carries adorable pieces for boys and girls, many of which can be worn by both. I personally favor these t-shirts charting the different parts of planes, boats and cars. Of course, this little skirt est mignonne aussi!
It looks like you can order directly from their website provided you don't mind paying some hefty shipping fees. Eh, I'll just put this on my list of "Cute Stuff to Buy While In Europe This Summer" (which keeps getting longer and longer and longer.....).
Via Bloesem Kids.

Kid-sized waders
Once you've recovered from laughing at the sight of your little one swamped by his or her huge pair of waders, you might find them really useful. The boots are welded on, so you need fear no puddle, no matter how deep. Available in the UK - where we know a thing or two about rain - from approx £29, or US$ 60.

Another great Etsy find via the folks at Poppytalk is Miss Natalie. The brain child of "multi-disciplinary designer" Natalie Davis, the shop carries a myriad of creative baby products, from onsies to grow charts to even giraffe parachutes. Each whimsical item is lovingly handcrafted by Miss Natalie from vintage and new materials.

Spotty Onesie
So, you've arrived. You've just been born, and you want people to sit up and take notice. What do you wear? A big, bright, bold spotty onesie, that's what.
I love that daring polka dot look on everything else, from coats to handbags, so for me the spotty baby look is just a natural extension. If you feel the same, this piece can be yours for 179 Swedish Kronor, which equals approximately US $30.
