Go Bananas

California based designer Hannah Banana has a way with coming up with lines that are both sporty and feminine, and this season is no exception. Their Spice Girl skirt set is sure to be a favorite among little girls with its layered skirt and graphic tee in soft cotton, and their Material Girl shorts set is both sassy and sweet. For older girls the stretch denim Spice Girl halter dress is a winner. Bright colors, easy care, and comfort -- what more could a little girl want?

Favorite Baby Gifts

These last few weeks have been all about the holidays, but now it's time to get back to everyday life, which in part means acknowledging the birth of all those sweet little kidlets friends and family keep generating. One of our favorite baby gifts for the hip parents on our list is a black "I'm with the Band" tshirt and matching yoga pants by Space Baby, with a pair of black ankle boots by See Kai Run thrown in for good measure. For the more conservative types you can't go wrong with a soft Kashwere two tone blanket and/or Kashwere hooded sweater.
