I am in love with the fall line of girls’ clothes from the European company Mim Pi. I especially love this super-chic outfit. The long sleeved shirt is made form cotton and features felt appliqués of a cat, dog, and little girl.

It is available in sizes from 2T to 8. The fun skirt features ruffles on one side and pleats on the other. I love the bold polka dot print, especially in contrast to the striped tights and appliquéd top. The tights are a combination of black and white stripes and red dots. The combined effect of these three pieces is very modern and hip. Your daughter will definitely be a trend setter in this one.

The outfit is a bit pricey. The shirt retails for $42, the skirt for $52, and the tights for $28. You can pre-order the complete look at duckduckgooseboutique.com. Fortunately, it looks like it would hide stains and wear well.

European designer Oilily is known for its fun and often over-the-top designs. These crib shoes are a great example of their style. The pale pink shoes are adorned with a deer at the toe, and are edged with green velour ribbon.

The strap and heel are decorated with a flower print. The sole is made to be flexible for babies who are learning to crawl or walk. They are definitely something extra-special, and I would have loved to have had them when my girls were the right age for them.

The only possible drawback is the price—at $92, they are definitely a luxury item. You can buy a pair at sobebabies.com.

Kathe Kruse has been a leader in the high end European toy market for more than a hundred years. With so many worries about lead and other toxins in toys these days, handcrafted toys such as these are more and more in demand. My youngest daughter has several Kathe Kruse dolls and this is my favorite. She is so soft and sweet—made out of 100% cotton fleece. The little butterflies embroidered on her gown are as cute as can be. She is 12 x 12—a perfect size for little arms to snuggle. You can buy one for $24 at blueberryforest.com.
