Tuesday's Child: Trendy Tots


I remember when my life's mission
was to have the best dressed child
in town.  I shopped from coast to
coast in person and by phone. Heaven help me if I had the Internet to fuel my passion!

Here's whats trending for
your little ones.


Monnalisa's retro romantic prints are so
charming.  The above image is part of the "Pink Panther in Paris" collection. You can shop the styles at Alex and Alexa or Neiman Marcus.


I hear little boy fashion is hard to find.....
beyond a slopping tee shirt and baggy pants.
Try the Kitestrings line for classic but cool
choices for boys.



For the tiniest bathing beauty. Love U Lots Swimsuit, Babiators Sunglasses & Nina Sandal for infants. 



Axel and Hudson is a golf inspired line
for little boys.  You'll adore the hat collection.
One of the most fun and colorful collections
is from Dolce and Gabbana. It's also expensive
as you can imagine. Take a look at
Alex and Alexa



Lisa Perry Kids.  Mini me fashion of this
designer mod squad styles. So cute, colorful
and impossibly chic but child-like.



Kate Mack's Seaside Set is Summerlicious.
It's just one of the designer lines featured 



For little and Big Boys.
Joseph Abboud will suit them up in style.
Nordstrom



Oscar de la Renta's children's line, like
his women's collection is never really trendy.
Classic clothing in today's colors and prints,
make for elevated style for children.
Oscar de la Renta



Roberto Cavalli for the sophisticated child.
Se he collection at Zappos Couture

And finally......Because a girl can go anywhere
in a tutu.....



Find this bright beauty and many other
styles of tutus and pettiskirts at

The patriarch of the esteemed Italian design family died May 9th.
This came four months following the disappearance of his oldest son, Vittorio, in a private plane
over the Caribbean.

 In honor of Mr. Missoni, here
are my fave finds featuring
the iconic Missoni Zig Zag.


The unmistaken and iconic
Zig Zag appears from clothing
to bedding, to the walls as a
high fashion status statement.

Missoni collaborated with Target
in 2011. The collection was a 
fast sell out.

I love a good Missoni necktie.

A Day For Mother's




"Motherhood has the greatest potential influence in human life. “Motherhood is the greatest potential influence either for good or ill in human life. The mother's image is the first that stamps itself on the unwritten page of the young child's mind. It is her caress 
that first awakens a sense of security; her kiss, the first realization of affection; her sympathy and tenderness, the first assurance that there is love in the world.” 
David O. McKay

Mother's Day Rescue: Send Her An E-Gift Card


A Mother's love is unconditional......
Unless you forget her on 
Mother's Day!
What gifts are Moms guaranteed to love? The ones they pick themselves.
Two Words: E-Gift Cards
Here's Where To Get Yours Today!
If Mom loves shoes, designer clothing, 
cosmetics, and Free Shipping....Nordstrom's
is the place for her!



A gift card from One Kings Lane is
perfect for the Mom that loves a
good sale...especially for her home.
     Everyday there is a new sale on very
stylish home furnishings and gifts.
OKL is addicting. She'll love it!


Amazon is kind of a no-brainer.
What can't mom find at Amazon?


This is a beautiful website and my 
"go to" for gifts.  Perfect for the new
Mother, Mom to be, hostess, or any woman.
Mom will love a shopping excursion at


For the fashionista Mom or the Mom
that is always on trend....Shop Bop 
has all the designers from 3.1 Phillip Lim,
Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen, and
hundreds more.  They offer Free Shipping
and Returns too.  It really is a clothing
and accessories paradise!


Give Mom an Experience Gift.
Cloud 9's Mothers Day gift ideas range from a relaxing day at the spa or a memorable dinner cruise, to a hot air balloon ride or a day 
of arts and crafts. She will think you are quite clever.  I love this place!


Is Mom a Beauty Junkie? Some of us are,
especially me!  Sephora will be her
Candy Land. She'll love a gift card for
her favorite fragrances, cosmetics, skincare
and more.  This is the place to go!


If Mom has a bit of Imelda in her,
(and who among us doesn't?) she'll love
this idea. Give her a gift card to
Design Her Own Shoes!
It's genius and an absolutely winning idea!


Is Mom into good design? If she appreciates
unique designed products, she'll love to
connect with exciting designers who share
their inspiration daily at great prices. Read 
my review of the website here. She will
certainly find something fabulous at


Is Mom a free spirit? Does she love to
decorate her life with jewelry? This
is a gem of a store for her.  I personally
love the selection of Bangle Bracelets
and Chandelier Earrings.

weekend with Free Shipping.
