Celeb Maclaren Sighting






Harvey Keitel, wife Daphna Kastner, and two-year-old son Roman were spotted this week in Central Park driving a black Maclaren Volo. Although they seemed content with their stroller, little Roman appeared to prefer riding on his father's shoulders. Mom's purse got lucky.

And on a side note, today for the first time ever I saw the Maclaren Burberry stroller up close and in person. Right here in Louisville! I was eating at Qdoba and a man walked in with one. I think he may have been slightly annoyed at the fact that it perfectly matched my purse and I pointed this out over and over.

Jennifer Garner at the grocery store






Before anyone asks, this is a picture from Hello Magazine and in Europe, they blur the faces of babies so their famous parents won't sue. It's not your computer.

Anyhow, that's Jennifer Garner and baby Violet at the grocery store in LA this week. The two were spotted checking out the frozen foods together and apparently the photags have no shame, as they were obviously there too. Baby Violet rode in a BuggyBagg Jr Shopping Cart Cover in Jungle print to protect her from the germs on the cart.



Zutano at ENK Fashion Show







These are some more images of Zutano at ENK. On opening day, Vogue Bambini hosted a fashion show for the newest items in children's fashion for Fall/Winter 2007/2008. One of the featured collections was from the Zutano Seasonal Collectibles (shown above). They will be available at fine children’s boutiques by mid-July or online at Zutano's e-boutique.



Heidi goes shopping






Supermodel Heidi Klum did some serious shopping at this week, as website Celebrity Babylon snapped pictures of her of entering Kitson and Kitson Kids in LA. Heidi had seen a segment on KTLA (a local LA TV station) showcasing the "Glamour Campaign" featured at Kitson and wanted to see what was going on. While there, she picked up up three pairs of black shorts with skulls on them for herself and lots of trendy clothes for her three kids.

More pictures at Celebrity Babylon.



Liv's Lunchbox






Actress Juianne Moore headed to school in NYC on Thursday, carrying the lunchbox of her daughter Liv Freundlich. Liv, who was with a friend, stayed close to Mommy and wore a pretty pink raincoat.

And believe it or not, Liv actually has the same butterfly LL Bean lunchbox as a child at the school where I work. It's a really pretty color up close. Just Jared has some more pictures.

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo at Petit Tresor






Photo agency X17 snapped these pictures last weekend of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo exiting Beverly Hills baby store Petit Tresor. The two bought several items, but X17 didn't say if they were gift-wrapped or not. I'm sure TMZ will know more soon, as they always have the Petit Tresor scoop.



Oscar et Valentine - Bubble 2007








Sold in some of the finest department stores in the world, Oscar et Valentine is now in the USA, debuting in New York this month at Bubble. They are a baby cashmere and clothing company, started by two cashmere fashion designers in France.

Tori Spelling buys DwellBaby






Tori Spelling apparently loves Dwell and Dwellbaby so much, that they will be the sole bedding company being used in the rooms for the new Inn and their reality show. The newlyweds are also using dwellbaby items throughout the nursery of their new baby boy, Liam Aaron, as well as dwelltable napkins and placemats in their dining room.

Tori bought a Motif Boudoir Pillow (above), all 3 animals in Robin (boy), and stroller blankets in Alphabet and Motif for baby Liam's nursery and the couple is said to love it all!

Dwell was founded by Christiane Lemieux in 1999 in an effort to bring modern textile design to the world of bedding. Christiane was soon joined by Jennifer Chused, and later by Christiane’s husband, Joshua Young. The company quickly established itself as a leader and innovator in the bedding market—and expanded to a fuller offering of home furnishings products, including dwelltable, dwellbaby, and dwellkids. With a unique sense of color, an unwavering commitment to quality, and always remaining a step ahead of the crowd, dwell continues to create its own distinctive interpretation of home furnishings design. Log on to www.dwellshop.com for additional information.

Haute Moms Rule




While at ENK this month, I happened upon some ultra-cool diaper bags from a company called Haute Moms Rule. This was the first time I had seen this brand and I really liked their collections. As you know, I'm a pink fan. And this was totally the brand for fans of the color pink. Here's a bit more info.

Haute Moms Rule is a lifestyle fashion brand re-defining "casual luxury" for modern mothers. Founded by "haute mom," Christine Price, haute moms rule!™ puts the “funk” back into functional by providing a complete line of stylish high-end t-shirts, baby bags, and patent pending baby carriers.

Below are images of their diaper bags and baby carrier bags, along with the names of each. The first three are the baby carriers/bags and the others are diaper bags. I can personally vouch for their cuteness up close.

Heidi & Johan






Heidi Klum and family had a fun weekend, spending Sunday shopping at the Grove mall in Los Angeles. Heidi carried little Johan in a blue and navy Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier Active while walking through the stores. Johan appears to REALLY like his carrier a lot. He is licking it in the picture.



Jen & Violet






Actress Jennifer Garner and baby Violet spent this past Sunday grocery shopping and playing in the park. Jen fed little Violet some of her own food and later walked around the pakr with her, sometimes pushing her in a 2007 Maclaren Quest Stroller in Charcoal/Sky. So many celebs love Maclaren it semms.



Larry goes shopping for Dannielynn






Website TMZ photographed Larry Birkhead yesterday in Miami, shopping for baby girl clothes. TMA claims he is walking out of a Baby Gap, but that doesn't look like Baby Gap to me. Perhaps he was originally there, but went to another store. Anyone know where in Miami he might be shopping?



Jon Favreau drives a BOB






Jon Favreau spent some quality time with his entire family yesterday in Santa Monica, eating candy and shopping on Montana Ave. His kids Max and Madelaine (dressed as a fairy) walked their dog as Jon and wife Joya strolled baby Brighton Rose inn a BOB Revolution stroller in blue.

BOB says on their website that the Revolution is the perfect stroller for families living in the 'burbs. I guess the Favreaus agree.

Devi - Fall 2007










The first time I saw Devi's clothes in a store, I just fell in love with them. They were so beautiful and colorful. So full of life. And of course, I was thrilled to see them this year at Bubble and speak with them about their wonderful clothing.

Founded in 2004 by socially conscious designers who wanted to make their clothing in a Fair Trade work environment. Devi Baby is dedicated to providing fair trade certified clothing, handmade in small communities around the world. Committed to paying fair wages to garment makers, Devi Baby’s ponchos are made by Bolivian women while their children play nearby.

Devi Baby Clothing is available in sizes from six months to six years for both boys and girls, and 8 years to 14 years for selected Kurta tops. Maternity/Mommy wear also comes in a full range of sizes and all are available in such fashionable boutiques as Papillon in Pasadena and Santa Monica, Fred Segal and Babystyle in Los Angeles, Pumpkin in San Francisco and Pasadena, LaLaLing in Los Angeles, ABC in New York City, Papillonbaby.com and Totshop.com.

Hugh Jackman and his Bugaboo






Hugh Jackman took his family for a stroll at The Rocks in Sydney, Australia yesterday. He's back in Australia right now to film his a movie, called Australia, which also co-stars actress Nicole Kidman. But now onto the the stuff we care about. His daughter Ava, almost 2, rode around in a black Bugaboo Frog. Son Oscar is 6.

Vive La Fete - Winter 2007








Worn by the likes of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt and other famous celebrity babies, Vive La Fete has made quite a name for itself recently. I was lucky enough to meet the designer at ENK and she showed me some of their Winter and Christmas dresses that will be coming out later this year. They've got some really pretty stuff, so check out the above pictures and also their website for more.



Manuella











These are some photos from Bubble of toy designer Manuella's 2007 line. Manuella is an American brand designed by an Israeli designer, Merav Flam. Her designs are made to reflect her own longing for childhood without digital or electronic toys. She chose the name Manuella because that was the name was of the old mechanical system used to create dolls back in the good old days.

They have lots of really cute stuff. One of my favorites is the Doddle Doll, which I have featured on this site before. It's a white doll that comes with a set of markers so each child can create their very own unique doll. I also really liked the giant wiener dog pillows for the floor. So were too cute.

Nest










I had not heard of the brand Nest, prior to attending ENK a few weeks ago. They're a baby, toddler, and mom company specializing in cute clothing and some of the prettiest diaper bags that I have ever seen.

Their designs are based on admired contemporary adult styles while taking liberties with color and the playful details that are so endearing about children’s items. It is clothing and accessories loved by both mother and child for the comfort and ability to uphold to the wear and tear of playful, messy kids while still looking stylish.

Above are some pictures of their Spring/Summer 2007 line, as well as their brand new diaper bags. Like I said before, they have some of the prettiest diaper bags that I have ever seen and that's not an exaggeration.
