The first thing I thought of when I saw this item was “Pippi Longstalking.” You remember the stories about the unusual little girl with the long funny braids and all the outrageous and fun adventures? This little Cakewalk Caberet Baby Girls Sweater Cardigan stands out (like Pippi) as a fun and whimsical outfit.

This cardigan is available for fall pre-order. A matching beret style hat is available (sold separately) that will just complete the look.  The sweater comes in sizes 3 mos to 18 mos. for $54.00 at LittleLunaBlue.com.

This Mongolie Hoodie Sweater Cardigan by Deux Par Deux is available for Fall pre-order. Be ready for fall and all the fun outings of the season. Your little one will be safely warm and comfy in this beautiful cover-up. The colors and patterns used in this sweater make me excited for the fall season with its spectrum of golden reds and rustic browns. Perfect for autumn and beyond.

The Deux Par Deux Mongolie Hoodie Sweater Cardigan is also available with matching hat (sold separately). The cardigan comes in sizes: 18mos, 24mos, 2, 3, 4, 5, & 6 for $78.00 at LittleLunaBlue.com.

Perfect to wear to the opera, or to your child’s favorite stage show this fall, this soft velour Anastacia Russian Toggle Pink Jacket from Luna Luna fall 2008 is available for pre-order. It’s lined in soft sherpa and has a toggle front. It is also available with matching skeggings (sold separately).

I think it’s a perfectly romantic look for a special night and with a style that is completely kid-wearable (no stiff fabrics or tight cuffs). This jacket is available in sizes  2T, 3T, 4,T, 4/5(+$2), 8(+$6), 10(+$6), & 12 (+$6) and is $76.00 at LittleLunaBlue.com.

We recently learned that baby number three is another girl.  With two other daughters, both of whom have extensive wardrobes, and one of whom was born in the same month that this baby is due, we really don’t need any baby clothes.  And yet, it is so fun to shop for them.

On my short list at the moment is this kimono set from Baby Nay’s just-released fall Foliage line.  Baby Nay always has great fabrics, and this outfit does not disappoint.  I love the set’s bold color combinations, and it looks like it would be super-comfortable, even for a newborn.  I’m a huge fan of two piece sets over sleepers, so the simple design of this outfit is another big plus in my book.

It is available in sizes from 3-12 months, and I think it would look great on little ones in any stage, from tiny infant, to crawler, to toddler. You can purchase this fun outfit for $48 from ForgetMeNotKids.com.

I’m sure you’ve noticed all the summer sales going on around town and on the net. Time to start looking forward to fall fashions. This Mim-Pi Blue Polka Dot Dress & Tights Set looks like so much fun to wear (boots sold separately). I don’t which my daughter would have liked most about this outfit: the vibrant blue color, the dynamic geometric patterns, or the cool layered look?

This set is available in sizes 104 (3-4yrs), 122 (6-7yrs), 134 (8-9yrs) & 140 (9-10yrs). You can pre-order one for fall at LittleLunaBlue.com.
