Trendy NYC Nursery Store

Nestled in the heart of New York City, Kimberly Hall Kids is loved by stars and regular moms alike. Everything is custom designed with a modern flair and design services are available for all types of interiors. Featured in this month's Instyle Magazine, Kimberly shows off a kid's space in her showroom, that is frequented by modern parents in Manhattan. There are lots of pictures on her website of all the customed designed rockers, chairs, beds, and even bassinets and cradles for babies. They also carry Bratt Decor and Susan Lazar, as well as their own brands of interiors.

The Happy Horse

Need some modern designs for your little ones? Black Beauties, a children's furniture collection by Dutch designer Ineke Hans, sells just that. The Happy Horse is one of many pieces featured by the company that is made with 100% recycled plastic and is wind-, water-, salt-, acid-, UV-resistant. Made in modern black, the horse (as with all the other furniture made by Black Beauties) will not be an eye sore in the hip household.

You can check out the pony and other Black Beauties products at Modern Child, the new L.A.-based online store founded by a mom on a mission to find the safe and friendly stuff for her new mod baby. It's a pretty cool place, with some hard to find stuff and some neato fashion.

Denise in Malibu

Denise Richards spent some time with Baby Sam on a trip to the shops in Malibu. Denise visited the celebrity loved County Mart, home to 98% Angel, Blue Kids, and Shabby Chic Baby. Denise used Sam's Silver Cross Pram Micro stroller to carry all of her many bags. Denise's second child is due in June and she is currently going through a divorce from her husband, actor Charlie Sheen.

And while you probably don't want her life right now, you might want to pick up that cute stroller! You can buy your own Silver Cross Micro at Bare Babies.

First look at Peg Perego's playard

Meet the Peg Perego Pappa Nanna portable crib, formerly known as the Vogue Travel Crib. Not sure why they changed the name. Or it's possible that this is the Martinelli version so it has a different name. Anyhow, it has some neat features. It's two inches taller than standard portable cribs, so baby can use it longer and the changing table attaches to the top rail at a convenient height. It also has a “twist & lift” mechanism to open or fold. It's based on their European design that the company has sold over there for years.

But will it do well here? It lacks a lot of the features that other playards have, like Graco's music boxes, diaper stations, nightlites, and vibrations. Although it has a sleak and modern design, not as stand-outish as other playards. Modern parents might prefer it.

You can buy it online now at Bare Babies.

Combi's new travel system

DK-5 Ultra Lite from Combi is the newest travel system to hit the market and it is for sure a step up from Combi's other travel systems in the past. The handle on the Connection carseat is a million times better than that of the Tyro. Plus the shape and the size of the new stroller makes it a winner. The Ultra Savy had issues, but when I saw this one today I knew Combi had made big improvements this year.

A friend of mine has the Ultra Savy System and I hate it. I'd actually buy this one though.

Available at Bare Babies.

The Next Big Birthday Hangout

Founded by Dylan Lauren (daughter of Ralph) and Jeff Rubin, Dylan's Candy Bar is a cool, modern candy shop that looks like Willie Wanka married Dwell Magazine. Filled with creative and scrumptious treats, Dylan's Candy Bar offers not only sweets from around the world, but novelty candy items and candy-scented spa items too.

When I walked into the store in Orlando's Florida Mall, I felt like I was inside a giant fashion boutique......yet it's candy! Seriously, that's the best way to describe it. It's an EXPERIENCE to say the least. Chocolate Soap, 3 feet tall lollipops, and dispensers with everything in them from candy sugar to bubble gum bath fizz.

Dylan's also (and best of all) offers catered parties! For kids, their minis pizzas followed by face painting, necklace making, and of course candy covered birthday cake. For more adult parties, their is chips and guacamole followed by drinks. They even provide the decor which includes candy floral decorations, ballon sculptures, and your favorite candies in a dish. Even favors are special, like personalized lollipops and candy machines.

So if you're in NYC, Houston, or Orlando you need to go and check them out!

Julia Roberts buys infamous English pram

According to US Magazine, Julia Roberts has recently purchased the Balmoral Pram from Silver Cross Pram for her twins Phin and Hazel. The famed English pram company has sold prams to the likes of Gwenyth Paltrow, Jerry Hall, and Elizabeth Hurley for their little ones. Celebrities like the pram, the company says, because it provides a lot of privacy for the baby and keeps photographers for getting shots of their babies.

It's also been used in many movies, and is even featured carrying a baby alien on the Men In Black ride at Universal Studios Orlando.

The Balmoral Pram can be purchased online at PoshTots.com.
