Here’s a collection that has mastered the art of simplicity. Featuring organic and sustainable fabrics, water based inks and low impact dyes, Go Gently Baby offers designs that are sweet and simple, yet have a distinct fashion edge. It’s all in the subtle details, like the layers of ruffles on the knit jacket, the peace motif on the tush of the pull-on pants and the tab detail on the Sgt. Pepper jacket and sweats. The soft hand of the fabrics adds to the line’s appeal; these knit pieces feel as gentle as the babies who will wear them. From details that don’t overshadow the wearer to the muted color palette to the comfy fabrics, Go Gently Baby is soothing to the eye and to the touch.
The new Woodours plush and dishware collections celebrate ‘Daddy & Me.’ The 16-inch Papa and Baby Bear duo offers activity and discovery features – remove Papa’s crinkly flower or fishing pole, pull the fish out of the tackle bag and move Baby Bear all over, from Papa’s leg to his tummy to his nose. This duo squeaks, whirs, rattles and crinkles. The precious 12-inch Baby Activity Bear features four pockets filled with color-coded interactive toys – a squeaky fish, a chirping bird, a rattling squirrel and a teething “cracker.” The 9-inch Baby Bear with teether is an ideal size for tagging along in the car or stroller. Created with vintage-inspired fabrics, he too comes with an attached teething “cracker.” Pull the fish on the 7-inch Musical Bear’s pole and hear a soothing lullaby. Invite the Woodours to your table with the adorable graphic dishware. The dishwasher-safe pieces include a plate, a bowl, a spoon and a sippy cup.
Beth Eiser knows what it takes to make fashion basics pop. The designing mind behind Buzz Basics, a clothing collection for girls sizes 2t-16, Eiser has banished the blah from basics. Relying on her experience in retail sales and as a mother of two daughters she has created a collection that manages to satisfy both the conservative shopper and the trendy customer with stylish staples. Constructed in quality fabrics and drenched in color, the tops, pants, dresses and skirts rely on piping, pleats, tucking and spot graphics to make a style statement. There’s lots to like in the fall/winter collection. We love the Bling dress in purple and the Bermuda shorts and mini skirts in brightly hued corduroy. Buzz Basics is proudly ‘made in the USA.’
You can purchase the Buzz Basics line at Aristokids in Palm Beach, FL; Blush in Mt. Pleasant, SC; Busy Bees Children’s Boutique in Virginia Beach, VA; and the Silver Spoon in Bronxville, NY. Visit www.buzzbasicsforgirls.com for more retailers and a peek at the Spring 2010 collection.
