The same people that store your family's leftovers are hosting a baby shower for 90210's Donna Martin. A friend tells TMZ, "Tupperware said they're big fans of Tori's, so they wanted to do this." The party is a couples' shower that will include Tori's mother figure and co-star Loni Anderson. Tori's real mom Candy is not invited.

Britney & Kids

X17online has some pictures taken yesterday of Britney in the backseat of the car inbetween her two kids Sean & Jayden. Sean is still in his Cosco car seat and Jayden is in his Combi Connection. For a second I though Jayden was the steering wheel and they were in the front seat!

Jennifer Aniston goes baby shopping yet again

Jen was out shopping yet again for her friends' children at Petit Tresor. this time she picked up several boy gifts. According to TMZ, she over $900 on a baby basket, blue puppy slippers, a musical Kaloo bear, a blanket and a $410 Mia Bossi diaper bag. No clue who they're going to, but probably not the newly single Jen.

Kingston's Gold Stroller

Just No Doubt has pictures of Kingston and his parents in London, and this includes the first ever picture of Kingston in his one-of-a-kinf stroller. As you may recall, Gwen bought the limited edition Mamas & Papas Ziko in Gold a few months ago at Selfridges. Only 10 strollers were made in all. Puff Daddy bought two for his twin girls. I guess that means 7 are left. Anyone who wants one might want to head over the English department store. Be be prepared to spend, because it retails for $860.

Kidsonroof

I came across these cute little toys today. First we have House (the white one). It's a giant play house for kids that's made to be colored on and decorated. House is descibed on it's website as a "doll’s-house, a store, a safe haven, a place to sleep, protects against monsters". It's also easily stored in its box so it doesn't get destroyed. And if your kid is into bling, there's Golden House (yup, the gold one). It's a Special Limited Edition House. just in case white isn't your thing. And finally there's MobileHouse, the mobile doll house (it's the blue one). It's not a playhouse like the other two. No, it's a tiny hosue made for dolls only. But it's portable and goes with your everywhere. With 8 rooms, stair openings and spyholes, and an attic for storage, Barbie will think she hit the Jackpot. All are made by a company called Kidsonroof, who are out of Holland (isn't everything great?). Kidsonroof just started in 2006 and House and Mobilehouse are their first ever products. They're a great company, donating 5% of their profits to a specific Unicef project because they believe all children should be able to play with their products. Very nice. Check their website for stores.

Cute Kingston!

Look how adorable he is! Baby Kingston went for a ride last week with his mom Gwen Stefani through London’s Primrose Hill. He rode in a black Bugaboo Cameleon and was bundled up with a Petunia Picklebottom blanket. Just Jared has more pictures of him at the park on the swings.

Contest

I am considering getting together a contest for this site as we approach the Baby Chic 101 Awards voting session for our readers. As you may recall, this is the time when our readers vote on which products are the best out of several top choices. If you are a brand or a store and would like to have your items included in the grand prize, please email me at pattyanns2003@aol.com by this coming Friday and tell me what you'd like to give. All items must be new and in style. There is no cost except for the item given and the shipping costs. Due to the volume of responses we usually get for these, I regret that I cannot respond to every single email with a yes or no. If I don't email you, back that probably means I have enough submissions. All brands and stores represented in the contest will get two posts about themselves, one at the start and one at the end.

Leni wears Juicy

Leni Klum looked ever so stylish this week in LA, as she shopped for shoes with her mom Heidi Klum at Barneys in Beverly Hills. In addition to the nice shoes and face paint, Leni wore a pink Juicy Couture outfit. Heidi doesn't look to bad without makeup. I wish I could pull that off. Sadly, no. See more pics at Celebrity Puke.

Boppy's New Site

Wow! Boppy's got a whole new website. And they've added all their new gear for 2007 for us to view. Since Kids II bought them, Boppy has been adding products like crazy. That's their new Rock in Comfort Swing above, similar to their new bouncer. They've also got a swaddle blanket coming out, and a luxe noggin nest. And check out some of their pretty new fabrics which are now categorized in Playful, Modern, Traditional, and World Traveler.

Liv loves Crew Cuts

Julianne Moore and her daughter Liv, 4, headed out on shopping trip in NYC on Thrusday and Liv was her usual stylish self. As we've seen before (and now) she loves J Crew's kids store Crew Cuts. She's wearing their scarf in this picture above, as she chases a newspaper and waves to the camera.

Jayden & Sean

Here are the first pictures ever of Jayden James Federline! He and brother Sean accompanied Britney to Burbank, CA as she recorded songs for her new album at a studio there. Jayden rides in a Combi Connection car seat (looks like the old one Sean used to have). Sean's car seat was a bit harder to find, since most seat makes go with the 5 point harness and not the bar anymore. But turns out it's a Cosco Scenera Versa-Fit OHS Convertible Car Seat, available at Walmart.

More Gwen

Gwen and Kingston were out shopping again yesterday in London, and of course Kingston had on that crazy little hat of his. Still don't know who makes that thing. However his white bear coat is from the Baby Gap, his socks are Trumpette, and his shoes are Adidas's Superstar Infant Sneakers. JustNoDoubt has more pictures.

Henry wears Childish

Henry and his mom Heidi Klum were looking good once again, as Heidi loaded him into a van a few weeks ago in LA. Henry wears Childish Clothing's HOLDEN t-shirt from the company's Gold Line. Childish is a maternity and baby clothing company loved by the like of Tori Spelling, Courteney Cox, and the Klum family as well.

The Ledgers - Sporting a Maclaren and some rings

Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams took their 1-year-old daughter Matilda out for a ride in her Maclaren XT on Tuesday, close to their Brooklyn, NY home. Looks like they went for the works when they bought that stroller, as it appears to have the matching rain cover, parent organizer, and foot muff. The couple was also wearing matching rings on their left hands. Did they secretly marry?

They're In!

Well at least they are in Connecticut. Monroe baby store Simply Baby & Kids has in the new Peg Perego colors for 2007. They've got red, blue, green, mod dots, and even the new pure color! I am so excited. I had heard they would not be in until next month, but it looks like at least one place has them in early. You can view and order the entire line on their website, along side many other really cute things. I have got to visit this store one day.

How many slings does Gwen Stefani own?

How many baby slings does this woman have? She's like Heidi Klum with strollers. One is never enough. I have no idea who made this one. Gwen has worn me out with looking up all these things. Anyhoo, that's she and Kingston at Nice international airport on January 19th. Gwen and Gavin are on a European trip it seems.

Heidi has an Orbit too!

The picture is a little bit blurry, but that's Heidi Klum and Seal at the park with Leni, Henry, and Johan. And look, Heidi has an Orbit Travel System too! In mocha, just like Maggie. Heidi always has the coolest strollers. In fact, I think she must own one of every brand.

Maggie & Ramona

Maggie Gyllenhaal and husband Peter Sarsgaard had bunch together this weekend at LA hot spot Ammo and baby Ramona came along! This is the first picture I have seen of Ramona. And she's got some nice swag. That's an Orbit Baby infant seat Peter is carrying(she has the whole stroller, as we've seen) and a pair of Trumpette socks on her feet.

Joely gets a Boon Frog Pod

Joely Fisher and daughter True visted the 2007 Boom Boom Room Baby and Big Kid Style Villa last weekend, right before the Golden Globes. All the celebrity moms in attendence recieved free gifts, and Joely picked up a Boon Frog Pod.The Frog Pod helps with children’s bath time clean-up, providing a drainable scoop for collecting and rinsing toys and a wall-mounted base for storing bath products. Check their site for stores.

Gwen again!

Gwen Stefani and baby Kingston left the NRG Awards together last night, and Kingston was once again wearing that funky hat of his. No idea who makes that thing, but the blanket is a Swankie Blankie. According to I'm Not Obsessed, the scary guy behind them is actually Gwen's stylist. I wonder if he found that hat?

Intex Playard

Intex, the makers of the inflatable pools and swim toys, have invented an inflatable playard for babies. The Lil Baby Gym is a really awesome-looking playard with soft sides for baby to hit instead of hard plastic and mesh. Baby can bounce on the inflatable floor and it won't fall over. It even comes with a soft mallet for "ringing the geometric bells" on the attached mobile. Buy one at our store, under Playards.

What's wrong with this picture?

People Magazine has reported that Victoria Beckham spent well over $100,000 in some of the LA's trendiest boutiques on Tuesday. Which I already knew. However, their story left me some questions. Intriguing questions.... The magazine reported that "At Petit Tresor -- a favorite of Katie Homles and Britney Spears -- she bought soccer-themed furnishings for her three boys' rooms as well as a bunch of clothing for herself, including: 48 camisoles, 12 tank-tops and 12 t-shirts -- plus three Mia Bossi diaper bags including this Audrey bag that Madonna also owns. On to Kitson...." Ok, problem here. Unless I'm sadly mistaking, Petit Tresor doesn't carry women's' clothing. It's a baby and maternity store. So is that a mistake and did she really buy that stuff at Kitson? Or did she buy maternity clothing? Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmm....

Violet's Coat

Jennifer Garner stepped out with daughter Violet Affleck this week in LA, prior to her Golden Globes appearance. Violet looked so cute in her pink Barefoot Dreams coat that she wears so often. Violet is almost 14 months old now and I've seen that coat so much, she must have gotten in several sizes. I don't blame her though, it's a beautiful coat.

Gwen's Bugaboo

The Rossdale family is still in London this week and Gwen is being seen everywhere with Kingston. The family took a stroll together yesterday, with Kingston riding in a black Bugaboo (not sure if that's a Frog or a Cameleon). ONTD has more pictures, including some of Kingston with more Trumpette socks.

New Primo Viaggios will be in stores soon

If you're waiting for the 2007 Primo Viaggios in all the cool new colors, you may have to wait just a little bit longer. I was told today that they will ship to stores in mid-February. If you haven't seen the new 2007 colors yet, check out Peg Perego's website and click on the 2007 product preview. Otherwise, the 2007 car seats are now available in select stores in Toffee, Rose, and Mint.

Will Ferrell's son

That's Will Ferrell and baby boy Mattias, who is two weeks old. Mattias got to go on his first ever outing to his big brother Magnus's, 2, soccer game. Looks like he is wearing a white bear coat from the Baby Gap, but I'm not certain.

Baby Bella Maya

You may remember this Baby Bella Maya as the ultra-cool Bjorn cover people who won the JPMA Innovation Award in 2005. I bet you didn't know though, that they are now also making car seat covers, blankets, and baby booties in the same fabrics? Very neat. I just got a carrier cover myself and put it on my friend's Bjorn. Let me tell you this: The pictures on the website do not do it justice. It's beautiful. Totally stunning. I would recommend Baby Bella Maya to anyone with a Bjorn carrier. They are so unique looking with the cover. You will be stopped and asked about it. Check out their website for stores.

Victoria shops for her boys

After spending all day looking for a school for her three boys, Victoria Beckham hit the shops in hopes of finding them some cool clothes. She stopped by Kitson and checked out their children's department, before heading to the Groove mall and visiting Janie & Jack, Gap Kids, and Pottery Barn Kids. The fmaily is planning on moving to LA this summer.

Gwen wears Ooba

Gwen Stefani and Kingston had a grand time checking out a local Pharmacy and a Bric A Brac Shop in Primrose Hill, London, on January 15th. Gwen put her little guy in a black Oopa Sling and a cute blue hooded coat that I've never seen before and couldn't even begin to guess which brand it is. More pictures at Just No Doubt.

Posh at Petit Tresor

While house-hunting in LA, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham finally became a celebrity. Fo Shizzle. She managed to accomplish the one thing that separates famous people from the rest of the world. The very thing Average Joes can only dream about. Something that her kids will look back on one day and say "My mom did that." Yes, she shopped at Petit Tresor. The It Store of Hollywood parents. What did she buy there? Well for starters, she wants them custom design the bedrooms of Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz at a cost of $100,000. Nice. Victoria wants the rooms to have soccer murals, soccer beds, soccer bean bag chairs, soccer ottomans and soccer desks. Samantha Winch, co-owner of Petit Tresor, told TMZ.com, "The idea is to make you feel like you're in a soccer stadium like dad." She then scooped up 12K worth of the new spring items for the boys and had it sent back home. Victoria picked up five colorful Kaloo balls, a $369 toy plane, Nordic Fairisle sweaters and a $410 red leather Hermes diaper bag. Cruz is almost two, which means potty training soon. I wonder if the diaper bad means she could be pregnant again?

The New Skip Hop Glam Bag

Skip Hop's Glam Bag is their newest product and it is very similar to the Duo bag. However this one has nicer fabric and colors, featuring blue mod dots (above), pink mod dots, and olive/camouflage mod dots. It's still easy to wipe clean and includes the same adjustable stroller handle bar straps as other the Skip Hop designs. Get it now at Belly Dance.

The New Graco Cleo

This is Graco's new Cleo stroller in the color Truffle. It's a compact stroller with a whole bunch of neat features usually found on bigger strollers. It's got two parent cupholders at the top, a 5 point harness, a removable child’s tray with two cupholders, storage pockets on the hood for parents, and it accepts either a Graco SnugRide or an Infant SafeSeat car seat. It also folds up very small and has a latch to keep it folded. It's backordered right now at Elite Car Seats.

Elite Car Seats has new models

Online store Elite Car Seats has in a bunch of new 2007 models of strollers and car seats. New arrivals include the Graco Quattro Tour Duo in two colors, the 2007 Combi Counterpart 2 ST (above)in all colors, the 2007 Combi Twin Savvy LX in all colors, a whole bunch of 2007 Graco Quattro Tour Singles, the brand new Graco Cleo Stroller, most of the 2007 Zooper strollers, the 2007 Combi Centre car seats, the 2007 Combi Torino strollers, and several new 2007 items from Compass. And what's really cool is that ECS always gives orders OVER $100.00 free shipping via FexEx Home Delivery.

Combi Zeus

The new Combi Zeus car seat is made to be both a rear-facing and forward-facing seat, similar to the Aprica EuroTurn. The seat is always installed in the car, unlike most infant seats that are used as carriers. This is for safety reason so there is less room for human error when trying to re-install the seat. It's coming in the Summer of 2007 to the USA, but the little boot thing at the bottom won't be on ours.
