And We're Back....

We're back following a summer spent chasing three young boys and a fall taking care of a family health issue.

I have literally pages of items that I am ready to write up so let's get the fun started again!

Kideko Bedding: Real World Bedding for Big Kids

There comes a time in every child's life when they outgrow the nursery bedding that you carefully selected for them. They will inevitably go through a phase where they want bedding that goes along with their ever changing personal tastes or the current movie of the month. Ultimately they will grow into a more grown up style that captures their own personal style.

An Australian bedding company, Kideko, has created a fantastic collection that captures the spirit of today's big kids. Cute, but not cutesy. Modern, but not for mom and dad. The perfect bedding for the 'tween market. The sets are even reasonably priced at $150 for a duvet cover and standard pillowcase.

Available online at Juvie.

Celeb Style Find: Julia Roberts' Ergo Baby Carrier

Julia Roberts' was out earlier this week carrying her son Henry, 14 months, in an ERGO baby carrier.

These mom invented carriers are designed to take baby from infancy to toddler. It's ergonomic design supports baby in the correct sitting position for ideal support for the baby's hip, pelvis and spine growth. It also minimizes the physical stress on the parents bodies by balancing the weight between your hips and shoulders.

Available online at ERGO baby in a variety of color combinations. (Julia is using their organic carrier in forest green / moss.)

Dominique Rouzier: Fashions That Capture the Spirit of Jackie O

There is a new line of clothing for those of you who prefer the finer things in life. Dominique Rouzier has introduced a luxe line of dresses and coats for girls which are inspired by the vintage looks of the 60's and 70's.

Each piece includes amazing little details and look as if they were pulled from vintage fashion magazines. Whether it is their trapeze style or the more simple shift dress, the fashions by Dominique Rouzier will be sure to make all other girls swoon.

Collection is created by a former fine artist and Martha Stewart textile designer.

Surri Dresses: Conservative Stylings for Mini-Fashionistas

Dressing boys up for special occasions is fairly easy -- a pair of slacks, a button-up shirt, maybe a jacket or sweater if its cool. Girls are a little more difficult. First - they typically have a definite opinion about what they want to wear. Second - they have to find something that is stylish, age-appropriate, and fitting for the occasion itself.

The new collection of special occasion wear by Surri puts an elegant spin on dressing up your little fashionista for cool weather special occasions.

Available online at Juvie.

Fall Sale Time at Old Navy: Up to 40% Off

One of my budget mom secrets is that I only buy one new outfit for each of the boys before school starts each year. They get a new outfit for the first day of school and I put off all other clothing purchases until after school commences. Everything goes on sale just after the start of the school year and I set my budget accordingly. This little trip usually allows me to buy nearly double the amount of school clothes for each child than had I paid full price.

One of the basic staples in my kids' closets are everyday play clothes from Old Navy. Right now they are busy stocking their racks with winter fashions and discounting all the summer and fall stock.

Some of my favorites:

Girls Short-Sleeve Hooded Dresses
Regular price: $19.50
Sale price: $10.00



Boys Quilted Hooded Jackets
Regular Price: $29.50
Sale Price: $20.00

Petunia Pickle Bottom's Dewberry Roll Fawn Collection: True Baby Luxury

Petunia Pickle Bottom's has created a luscious collection of crib bedding designed to surround your baby in luxury. The entire collection is full of the most delightful brocades and linens available.



We love the Dewberry Roll crib set which pays homage to vintage wallpaper from the art deco era. The fabrics feature a pink aster scrolled medallion motif across a flax colored background. Flax colored linen sheets and a soft, brocade edged crib blanket complete the crib set.

Each set comes with a plush crib bumper with box-pleated corners and brocade ties, a box-pleated crib skirt, an double sided blanket.



If your baby is not quite ready for the crib or you want to keep them close by at bedtime. Petunia Pickle Bottom has also created Cariboo Bassinet Set in the Dewberry Roll fabrics. The Cariboo is one of my favorite products and the perfect first resting place for newborns.

Jean Bourget Sweaters: Making Bundled Up Look Sweet

This week school started and the weather turned cold in Minnesota. Last week it was 90 degrees and I was looking for a new swimsuit for my eight year old who decided to grow two inches in a month. This week I'm looking for new sweaters and hoodies. I've even started to think about buying snowpants and boots for the upcoming winter.

I love the collection of earth-toned sweaters from Jean Bourget that has made its debut at Juvie. The entire line includes an adorable selection of separates designed to be mixed-matched-and-layered to keep up with the ever changing weather patterns. All this style does not come cheap with each sweater retailing at approximately $75 each.

Available online at Juvie.

Fall is in the Air

Fall has arrived with a chill in the air. Posts have been sparse in August at The Stylish Child due to my MIL's daily cancer treatments. The kids have headed back to school and things are starting to return to normal.

It's time to breath some new life back into the site and get back to posting all the great products, sales, and information that I find.

We have a new template to match the new season and I will be working through a massive backlog of new product announcements, sale notices and checking in on some of my old favorite companies for all of their latest introductions.

Target Introduces the Itso Storage System

As a mom of three boys under the age of ten, there is nothing better than having a good storage system. When you make it both stylish and affordable, the frugal mom in me does a dance of joy.

With my discovery of the new Itso House Collection by Target, I can admit that I did a little dancing. The Itso system is a modern solution to our everyday clutter problem.



The system includes a variety of modular pieces that mix together to create a unique design that can be customized to fit your unique needs. Whether it's controlling clutter in the playroom, organizing chaos in the bedrooms, or having a place to store stuff in your laundry room, you can create a solution that fits your exact needs. Available in both plastic and wood laminate so you can find a look that you will love.

Pieces range in price from $7.99 - $49.99.

Mom Agenda: Time to Get the School Year Must-Have for Moms

There is one book that I truly could not live without - my momAgenda.



I am a list-maker at heart. I have notepads in each room, one that attaches to the fridge, and several strategically placed in my office. I can loose a list, but am truly lost if I cannot locate my momAgenda which has all the information on the kid's schedules (with a space daily for each child), appointments, phone numbers, plans in progress and so much more.

The momAgenda is like other yearly planners only it is customized to fit a modern mom's lifestyle. Rather than starting the year off in January, the momagenda kicks off with the start of the school year. The page design allows you to keep all of your mom and non-mom activities organized and in one place.

It is organized by how we organize our lives - Brady and Jack need to be at swimming lessons at 10 AM, Carter has afterschool science camp at 3 PM, and mom needs to make a Target run to pick up toner kitty litter in between. All summed up on one page so we can see the week at a glance.





In addition to the regular features on your standard planners, the makers of momAgenda have even done the work in organizing lists of useful websites (for school projects and research), online publications, toll-free numbers, and holidays (for the next four years). The back of the book has room for your own personalized lists -- birthdays, parties, vacations, books, wines, movies, and more.




Available in faux crocodile, fuchsia, marine, lime, chocolate, and leopard. Priced at $42.

Skip*Hop Bin Go Large Storage System

Skip*Hop has introduced a new soft canvas carry-all that is perfect for storing, toting, and organizing all the "stuff" that comes with babies and toddlers.

The Bin-Go Large Storage Bin and Tabletop Organizer are designed to hold just about anything and be easily portable at the same time. It's roomy design can store toys, books, blankets, and anything else your child needs. Once packed up, it's easy to carry upstairs, outside, or even to Grandma's house.

Angelina Jolie's Twin Baby Loot

Everytime a celebrity mom welcomes their bundle of joy it's time for the baby gifts to start rolling in. In the case of Angelina Jolie and babies, Knox and Vivienne, there is double the stuff.
