Lola et Moi is a favorite children’s clothier among celebrity parents such as Kelly Ripa, Tori Spelling, and Brooke Shields.  This beautifully embroidered Chic Country Dress illustrates why the line is so popular.  Made from a gorgeous, deep purple fabric that is sure to hide the occasional spill, this empire wait dress features intricate flower appliqués in a number of bright colors that really pop against the dark background.  This dress would look great on its own, or over a pair of brightly-colored tights or leggings.

You can purchase one of these stunning dresses for $106 at EmbellishedMom.com.  It is available in sizes from 2-6.

Noodle & Boo’s website states that they creates luxurious products that designed with children in mind, using gentle, wholesome ingredients that are “optimal for ultra-sensitive skin”. Maybe this is why they are a favorite of celebrity moms such as Liv Tyler, Jennifer Garner, and Brooke Shields.

Noodle & Boo’s signature French Milled Baby Soap Gift Box comes packaged in an elegant gift box with six bars of french-milled baby soap, all bundled with their signature pink-stitched navy grosgrain ribbon.

The rich and creamy lather gently cleans delicate skin, leaving it soft and supple. Sounds wonderful! It’s made from 100% pure vegetable oil based soaps and does not contain the dehydrating detergents or irritating surfactants in most soap today. The oatmeal and aloe soothe, while sweet almond oil and nutrient-rich milk protein moisturize young skin.

A young mom might not think to spend $36 on baby soap when there are so many other expenses for a new baby, so why not surprise her at the baby shower with this luxurious gift. Take a second look at this product at BellyDanceBaby.com.

This great top from Chiarakruza Maternity is hugely versatile and would make a great addition to any maternity wardrobe.  It is available in a number of fun colors.  Brooke Shields was photographed in the black version of this Dallas top during her last pregnancy, and Tori Spelling (above) was recently seen sporting the pink version.

This top is made of rayon, which is very silky and hangs beautifully.  Its design is simple enough that you can wear it with jeans, but dressy enough that you can pair it with slacks and wear it to the office.  The top also has a forgiving fit that makes it perfect for transition wear after you give birth.  It is machine washable and comes in a number of sizes.  You can purchase one for $88 at duematernity.com.

I think every infant and toddler should have one of these fun and crazy hats from Zooni.  I’m partial to this Under the Sea hat, which features an orange clown fish on a blue background.  You child will be the center of attention whereever he/she goes, and will stay warm at the same time.

Zooni’s hats have won acclaim from celebrity moms such as Tori Spelling, Brooke Shields, and Courtney Cox, and has been featured in Parents Magazine.  One of these adorable and unique creations would make a great gift.  You can purchase one for $32.50 at zooniwear.com.

Summer is beginning to come to a close, but there is always time to catch a little more sun, and there are still lots of great bathing suits out there for little ones.  This is a very cute suit from the Australian company Seafolly.  The Ballerina Skirtini Bikini features a pink paisley print on a white background.  Any little girl will feel special in this suit with its ruffled top and tulle-flounced skirt.

Best of all, the company is known for its high-quality products and has a large following among celebrity moms such as Angelina Jolie, Courteney Cox, and Brooke Shields, so you know you will be satisfied with your purchase.

You can get one of these great suits for an end of the summer price of $41.90 at Nordstrom.com.

Moncalin’s line of super-soft toys and blankets has earned them a celebrity following that includes fans such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Christian Bale, and Brooke Shields.  One look at this cute little pig explains what all of the fuss is about.  I love the bright green and orange colors that make this toy stand out.

He is handcrafted in the USA, and completely machine washable.  He comes packaged in a gift box and would make a gift that will be cherished for a long time to come.  You can purchase one for $65 at moncalin.com.

I have never been disappointed with any clothes by Tea that I have bought for my girls. In fact, they have been among the most durable of our many outfits. Between the durability and the fun designs, it is no wonder that celebrity moms such as Katie Holmes and Brooke Shields are Tea fans.

I have been browsing infant clothes a lot more these days, and I fell in love with this Akita Mauve Dot Eyecatching & So Sweet (yes, that is its name) romper. I love the fabric, but I think what draws me in the most is the smocking. It just gives it that extra sweet touch.

All of my kids were or will be winter babies, so rompers are so much fun that first summer when they are starting to crawl and sit up. I love to see their chubby little legs peeking out. If I have another girl, I may try to track this down for next summer. It is available in sizes from 0/3 months to 12/18 months.

You can buy one for $24 at achildscloset.com. Moms of boys needn’t despair, Tea makes great boy clothes, too.

With my two year old working on potty training, I have been looking at lots of dresses lately. I love simple summer dresses that keep her cool and allow her to go potty with minimal effort.

I really like this dress from celebrity favorite Lola et moi. Its simple apron style is appealing, and I love the fun pockets. The dress is 100% cotton, but it unfortunately requires dry cleaning.

In looking at this dress, I can see why moms such as Kelly Ripa, Tori Spelling, and Brooke Shields are fans of this line, which has also been featured in People Magazine. You can buy this dress for $96 at pureandhonestkids.com.

I highly recommend Phil & Ted’s Sport Stroller for Moms who want to get in shape before baby turns six months old. Most jogging strollers you have to wait until Baby can hold his or her head up well, but Phil & Ted’s has a newborn option that allows Baby to recline and relax while Mom does all the work. All you have to do is unzip and unclip the sides and the stroller turns into bassinet. I took my son on a two mile trek and he fell right asleep. The stroller has air-filled tires which allow for a smoother ride. It is very light weight and easy to handle. Phil & Ted’s also has a major added bonus, a second seat. If you buy the attachable second seat the stroller easily turns into a double stroller. This stroller and only this stroller allows you to have a newborn and a toddler or two toddlers ride comfortably at the same time. You can find these strollers at many upscale baby boutiques. It comes in several different colors and retails for $399.99 and the additional seat is $89.99. It is a favorite of celebrity parents, Brooke Shields, Holly Hunter, Carrie Ann Moss and Russell Crowe.

I consider myself to be a pretty serious distance/marathon runner. Luckily, I am able to log most of my miles without children in tow. Sometimes, however, it is necessary to bring my toddler along. All I can say is that on these occasions I am so grateful for my Baby Jogger and its 20 inch wheels! Since my first daughter was born more than nine years ago, I have had three jogging strollers, and this is definitely my favorite. I will never buy another brand. It is very light an easy to run with, and the giant wheels make it easy to navigate curbs without too much hassle. A clear “window” built into the canopy keeps your little one in site at all times. The ease of use is no doubt contributed to the popularity of this brand of stroller with celebrity moms and dads. Jennifer Garner, Gwen Stefani, Brooke Shields, and Michelle Williams are just a few of the parents who have been spotted with them. You can buy one for $399.99 at www.joggingstroller.com.

Baby Lulu is hands down my favorite line of clothing for my daughters. The clothes are beautifully-designed and well-made. I’ve had a few seams unravel over the years, but considering what my girls put them through, they have held up very well. I love the way this line blends the classic and the trendy. The designers have a great eye for color and pattern combinations. Most of the clothes are made of super-soft cotton, so you can dress your little ones well without worrying about their comfort. Their bathing suits are by far the cutest we have ever owned. The line has become a favorite of celebrity moms such as Heidi Klum, Denise Richards, Marcia Cross, and Brooke Shields. The down side of the line’s popularity is that it is often difficult to find it discounted. Even on ebay the prices reach close to the suggest retail, and sometimes above for hard to find items. One of my favorite Baby Lulu retailers is forgetmenotkids.com. The dress shown is from the Pop Art line, and retails for $34.

With more and more people trying to live a “green” lifestyle, it is no wonder that business is booming for environmentally-friendly retailers like Baby Soy. This line of clothing made from organically-grown soybean fibers is a favorite with eco-conscious celebrities including Brooke Shields and Jenna Elfman. These products are as hip as they are kind to the Earth. They are designed to be classic, simple, and sweet. The double knot hats ($7) are particularly cute, as are the kimono shirts ($12.50). Everything is made to be extra soft and gentle to babies and toddlers. You can buy these products at babysoyusa.com.
