If Money Were No Object...

Filed under the list of things I'd consider buying my kid if he weren't going to outgrow it in the next 10 minutes...

I adore this coat by French designer Judith Lacroix. Price tag? A mere $219. What?? For my kid? Seriously, it wouldn't last him half the season. Even at the low, low sale price of $99, it isn't looking good. The last time I spent $219 on clothing, I got alot more than one miniature coat. So despite the fact that my son will no doubt be the envy of mothers and babies everywhere while wearing it, he'll just have to settle with whatever pile of rags mom comes home with. Poor kid.

Footwear for the Discerning Baby

Love, love, love these adorable baby booties by Ivory and Moss (formerly Auralia and Annalise). They're a handmade item, so every pair is a unique work of art (though she makes more than one of each style).

Currently, Ivory and Moss/Auralia and Annalise is available on Etsy.com. Ivory and Moss's new website is under construction. Price: $21.50 to $28.00, depending on style.
