This beautiful 100% silk Nile Pazi dress by Calypso Kid would make a lovely special occasion or holiday dress (although it doesn’t come in colors one traditionally thinks of for the winter holidays).

The silk has a natural crinkle to it, which is evident in the above photo. It comes in bright Nile blue (shown above) and bright optic white, and in sizes from 2T to 6.

Janie and Jack is a favorite with celebrity moms such as Katie Holmes and Jennifer Garner.  This upscale sister company to Gymboree offers classic looks that are elegant and generally understated.  What I like about some of their holiday offerings for little girls this year is that they aren’t quite what you might expect.  I burn out quickly on red and green plaid and black velvet.  I was delightfully surprised to see that Janie and Jack’s holiday clothes offer a lot of soft florals.

I quite like this Lace Trim Rose Silk Dress from the girls’ layette section.  Made of 100% silk shantung with a cotton lining, this dress is sweetly feminine.  The rose print is quite charming, and the puffed sleeves and smocking make the dress extra special.  This is a great party dress, and would look great in your holiday photos as well.  The dress is available in sizes from 0-3 to 12-18 months.  You can purchase one for $58 at JanieandJack.com.

Looking for some luxuriously upscale pants for your little one?  Check out this great 100% silk pair from Posh Tots.  These cropped pants are simple yet sophisticated.  They definitely have a grown-up look about them.  If they made them in my size, I would love a pair.

Adelaide Silk Pants, available in either gold or ivory, feature an adjustable waist and a hemline adorned with a bow and french ribbon.  They are made in the USA.  handwashing is recommended.

You can purchase a pair for $105 at PoshTots.  They are available in a wide range of sizes, from 6-12 mos to 10 years.  These pants are custom made, so allow 4 weeks for delivery.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this Zolowear Silk Ring Sling. It reminds me of the beautiful sashes some women wear over their suits or dresses. This one-layer silk brocade cappuccino brown sling with teal blue flowers takes care of baby and lets mom have some style and color to brighten her outlook. This baby sling not only secures baby snugly but also shows off mom’s fashion flair.

There is a pocket on the tail in which to put your keys, wallet or cell phone. the sling is machine washable and hangs to dry. The silk may lose some sheen when washed, but it is sure to become softer. It’s best to dry clean the sling to keep that shiny new look.

This beautiful tulip-cut silk top with scalloped hemline by Le Mou Kidswear looks like it would be a lot of fun to wear for your little miss. Silky, smooth, and twirly, any little girl would feel like a princess in this top (matching butterfly skirt sold separately). I would feel comfortable buying this dress top for my own daughter for a special event or evening out. Just knowing that she won’t be fidgeting over a too-tight or stiff fabric, helps us both relax.  Feeling comfortable in your clothes is important, maybe even more so for children. When they feel at ease it helps makes everything else a breeze.

This Tulip Orange Silk Slip Top also comes in Dusty Pink or Green, and is available in sizes 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Purchase one for $17.00 at LeMouKids.com.

Many mommies now crave a stylish yet flattering maternity look. I like wearing maternity (and non) dresses this time around; they’re easy, pretty, and comfortable. In the right fabric, they grow with you and should last for the duration of pregnancy.

I’m more apt to buy casual styles than dressy, since I have a lot more informal activities planned week-to-week than anything else. I like 100% Cotton materials; they’re breathable and cooler than some of the synthetic fibres I’ve run across.

The Cadeau Girasole Silk Dress in yellow and brown caught my eye immediately. Though I’ve not had much experience with silk, it’s one of those fabrics that is sure to make a mommy feel special. However, be aware that it’s not a wash-and-go type material; it’s dry clean only.

Offered in small, medium, large, and extra-large (based on in-stock availability), this mod but modern maternity dress sells for $119.00 (regularly $168.00) at babystyle.com. If dresses really aren’t your thing, there’s a shirt in the same pattern and empire style available on the site.

I am pretty sure that this is my last baby, so I am trying to be a bit more frugal when it comes to maternity clothes this time around. However, I have absolutely fallen in love with this Emily top by Schone. It looks very comfortable, and is made from a blend of silk and spandex lined with pure silk.

I love the striking contrast between the ivory background and the bright morning glory print. I’m thinking that the empire waist styling might make it doable as non-maternity wear as well, but maybe that is wishful thinking.

One good thing about this Schone top, and sleeveless maternity shirts in general, is that they work no matter what time of year you are pregnant. You can wear them alone in the summer, then pull a cardigan or jacket over them later in the year.

The price is the only thing that is making me debate purchasing this Schone shirt. At $180, I’d definitely need to be able to wear it for more than a few months to justify the purchase. If you love the Emily maternity top as much as I do, you can purchase one from neimanmarcus.com.

Always eye-catching in magazines like Vogue, A Pea in the Pod Maternity wear is made for couture-conscious mamas. From graphic prints to ball gowns to flowing dresses, there’s a dress for every occasion.

I don’t think that the Tiered Taffeta Dress will suit every pregnant woman’s shape, but I do think it would make a stunning party dress. Paired with black heels or flats with some sheen or glitter and a jacket with three-quarter length sleeves, it would shine in a sea of black ties.

Made of silk and polyester and with a jazzy hem for that added je ne sais quoi, it’s certainly a pretty party dress. Someone with great legs, toned arms, and a drive for fashionable duds will pick out the tiered taffeta for her special evening out. At destinationmaternity.com, it retails for $119.99.

The idea behind this diaper wallet is that there comes a time when your toddler may still be wearing diapers, but you don’t need (or want) to lug around an entire diaper bag. Its compact size (6” x 10”) make it ultra-convenient, but it is the gorgeous fabric that attracted my attention.

I love this beautiful silk print. The only downside that I can see is that while the inside is waterproof, the outside may be difficult to clean—with spot cleaning recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaning issues, aside, the look of this case is enough that I am adding it to my mental shopping list.

You can purchase one for $28 at babybrowns.com.

Heidi Klum’s daughter was recently seen in this adorable dress from Meli Meli. Made of pure silk, this beautiful dress is made for twirling. It has a generous skirt and tons of ruffles. The sash is embellished with sweet orange flowers. Even a tomboy could fall in love with this dress. The downside is that it has to be dry cleaned. You can buy one for your own dancing fairy for $198 at chasing-firelies.com.
