dressing for the cold
tot trends weekly1. Niege has us singing, ‘We love Paris in the fall! ’ Part of the Fall 2006 Collection, the gorgeous Marisa Coat is a wool blend tweed, with rich plum hues. Oversized buttons and a sweet peter pan collar add the sophistication and style Neige is adored for, while a 100% soft cotton lining provides the comfort your little girl deserves. Neige is available at fine retailers including Saks Fifth Avenue and Barneys...keep your eye on their collections and we think you’ll be loving ‘Paris ev’ry moment of the year!

2. The Eden’s Bouquet Chateau Garden Jacket will have your daughter thinking she is in paradise! Designed with stunning aqua velvet, lined with delicious dupioni silk, and trimmed with a fantastic faux fur collar, the coat is unimaginably lux! A lapel adorned with a crushed velvet rose and shells adds a touch of youthful innocence. For $160 at belugababy, you can buy a piece that we think is priceless!


3. L is for Lux, Little Boys, and the Love we have for Lucy Sykes Baby’s Hooded Coat. The brown tartan fabric is wonderfully classic, and looks beautiful dressed up or dressed down. The fur lining adds a modern touch and will keep your little guy toasty warm on long fall walks. Available in sizes 9 months to 8 years, this is a coat your little one can truly grow-up in. For $250, Lucy Sykes Baby will have your little man looking like a million bucks!



4. Home Spun Goods spun up a little Kimono Jacket so good (and so soft!) that you’ll want it in every adorable color. Made of super-soft corduroy and lined with a super-soft fleece, this is a cozy jacket that your little one will want to wear everyday. Of course, with pearl snaps, a choice of cuts (regular or A-Line), several bright colors and optional details (dragonfly, mushroom, flower), the kimono jacket makes everyday extraordinary.



5. Good things come in small packages, especially Patagonia packages! Keep baby warm in mini versions of Patagonia’s legendary outerwear. For colder climates, the Infant Reversible Puffball Bunting provides serious insulation. Reversibility, a snag and water-resistant shell, and hand covers provide serious functionality. And of course, great Patagonia colors provide serious style. We’re serious when we say all of this is only $88 at Patagonia.com.
