Even with two older sisters who keep him well in touch with his feminine side, it didn't take long before my son had decided pink was a "girl" color and that his sweet puppy tees should be traded for race cars and dinosaurs. But he still…
While we've featured numerous stylish, Swedish-inspired clothes for kids by Polarn O. Pyret on Cool Mom Picks since they came to US shores last year, this reversible plaid lumberjack shirt was my first personal experience with their clot…
My kindergartener started taking soccer lessons this year, forcing me into the kids sports apparel section of our local humongo chain store for the first time. Little did I know how hard it would be to suit her up; I'd have to force feed…
A neighbor and I were just discussing the challenge of purchasing boy's clothes these days and we both agreed that you really do get what you pay for. And since I'm not too keen on purchasing two sets of clothes every season--sometimes m…
I love having a son. The way he has to touch every wheel he sees--even if it's on some random stranger's Rollerblade--is so cute. My only complaint about giving birth to a boy, as opposed to a girl, is the sheer lack of cool clothing opt…
As of today, I officially have two children in school. (Sniff!) So we did some serious back to school shopping a few days ago and learned there was much awesomeness to be had at Old Navy . It's a lucky coincidence that this week the shop…
The concept of cool boys clothes shifts as kids get older. At first cool is defined by his mom, but mark my words, at some point -- for me it was around 7 -- your son will start to have very definite ideas on what constitutes cool and wh…
After she watches Lion King, my kid spends most of the day running around in her pink underoos and roaring. She's being Simba, of course. But it's not really a costume she can wear out in public when she's feeling fierce. These t-shirts …
Here comes Jimmy Bond. He rolls up on a black Big Wheel and requests his favorite drink: chocolate milk; shaken, not stirred. Aunts line up to pinch his cheeks. And I imagine him wearing this effortlessly cool striped shirt and tie combo…
I have a soft spot for nursery rhymes and classic kids' stories, both of which seem to be slowly dying in our age of technology and television. But the folks at Sprout San Francisco have revived one of my favorite tales with a cool new s…
"My baby will never wear pink," I once said. But I had to eat those words when I discovered that all those gender neutral onesies in melon, lemon, and lime made my darling, olive-skinned daughter look like a zombie. And I have pics to pr…
Come on, you know your little man fits the bill. Chubby cheeks, laughing eyes, and a perfectly round Buddha belly. Wouldn't he look utterly delicious in a kimono? A masculine (but snuggly) kimono? [see our giveaway after the jump!] We've…
Two of my favorite words are "simply elegant", but I've never gotten to apply that concept to my son's wardrobe before. Which is why I have a total adoration for the summer Daily Tea collection just out for boys and girls. We've already …
We love the online flash sale site, The Mini Social , because finding cool boys clothes, especially at up to 60% off , is always a challenge. But this week is extra-special since through June 18 it's Boys Week , and a portion of all the …
It always seems like girls get the pick of the litter when it comes to cool accessories and boys are relegated to fourteen varieties of baseball caps. So if you've got a little hat connoisseur of the male persuasion, I strongly suggest t…
Now that I have a boy, I finally get it. The boy stuff at kids' clothing stores is generally eclipsed by the bows, the polka dots, the kimonos, the bum ruffles. And then the boy gets a plain old striped shirt or a lame-o teddy bear when …
We all know Alice in Wonderland is crazy hip right now, but let's be honest - not all Alicey-items are swoon-worthy. This one, however? Is. The collection of Alice in Wonderland themed tees at Pajama Squid come to you from Australia's He…
I am generally frustrated with all the embellished girls' pants out there are covered in flowers, sequins, sparkles, or (eek) all three. So when I got wind of the Sejong Dragon Pant from CMP fave Tea Collection I thought, fabulous ! Or, …
There's no shortage of Valentine's Day attire for little girls (like the Kideko heart pajamas we found this week) , but when it comes to boys, it's pretty slim pickings. And I get it. Dressing a boy in a rose-colored heart shirt is a tou…
When one of my favorite local shops is having a 20-70% off clearance sale , I'd be remiss if I didn't drop everything I'm doing, head to the website, and click on every single category immediately. You know, just to see . In this case it…
You'd think that with all those businesses out there designing hip/cool/adorable/clever tees for kids, a mother would be able to find at least one sweet monster design that was exactly to her taste. I mean, robots are everywhere. So are …
Some of my kids' favorite tees come from San Francisco's Bunny and Bee . When we first discovered them a few years back, I fell in love with their modern but not obnoxiously hip t-shirt designs for boys and girls , from motorcycle-riding…
There is no shortage of adorable graphic kids' t-shirts out there (you've probably seen one or two here), but what I really love about Hopscotch Tees collection of customized tees is that they don't just put your child's name on the fron…
My boys wear uniforms to school, so they like their play clothes to be fun and funky . I like them to be clothes they can actually play in. Boy Peralta, Inc has cool stuff that we can both live with -- and love. You'll find brands like A…
