It's Our Birthday!

Happy Birthday to us! BabyChic101 will be one year old on August the 19th, and to help celebrate we have teamed up with Zutano in order to give out gifts! That's right, we are giving out a gift for OUR birthday. We will be holding a drawing from Aug. 11th - 18th for a Zutano E-gift certificate for a $200.00 redemption at their soon-to-open online Baby Boutique store. The gift certificate will be redeemable for no less than a 3 year period.

Thw winner will be announced on Sept 1st and the Zutano store is set to open Sept 29th. I will begin the contest tonight since I need to go to work early in the mouring. You can enter right here on our site, to the left under "offical" stuff, after I put up the link.

Britax's Decathalon

The Decathalon from Britax is being billed as the carseat that "has been designed to take the Roundabout and the Marathon a step further". And it does. The Decathalon allows babies to be rear facing up to 33 lbs, instead of 20 lbs like most seats. And if you didn't know, rear facing with a five point harness is the safest position in to be in a carseat. The next safest position is forward facing with a five point harness. The Decathalon allows children to do this up until 65 lbs, unlike most carseats that only go up to 40 lbs.

And if that's not a good enough selling point, look at the cool colors! I think this one at Bare Babies is the cutest one I have seen. Much better than the Babies R Us color. So check it out there.

What's a baby shower without a shooting? Boring!

Lovely Britney had a wonderful baby shower last Saturday in Malibu at the home of a friend. Everyone had a grand ole time. Well everyone except photographer Brad Diaz. Brad was one of about 15 paparazzi stationed at the foot of the Malibu home's driveway when suddenly he was shot in the leg with a pellet gun. His injuries were descibed as "less than minor", however Diaz is still of course angry. He claims that one of Brit's bodyguards is the one who shot him, although police could not confirm that. Spears' security team informed police that the pop star was attending a baby shower in her honor and said they were not involved in the shooting.

No word yet on what Britney got, but we will keep you informed!

New at Baby CZ

Baby CZ has gotten in their fall/winter line. New this season are the bigger sizes, with clothing now going up to age eight. Also a lot of new styles and colors for this season, lots of brights and primaries. Especially with the bigger kids. I really like the older girls' stuff, as well as the infants' cashmere line.

Baby CZ is loved by stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and also has been featured in a ton of magazines.

Britney and Angelina shop at Kitson

Star moms Angelina Jolie and Britney Spears both swept up baby gear at LA boutique Kitson this week. Angelina's friends bought gifts for her new daughter Zahara, including Trumpette's Jungle Critters Sock Set (above), an Amber Hagan Glitterati bodysuit, and several little onesies's with cute little sayings on them such as "If you think I'm cute, you should see my mommy" and "Brad Spitt". I guess that's a cute little spoof on not-her-daddy Brad Pitt.

Britney opted to shop herself, buying two blue onesies with sayings like "My Family Tree is Full of Nuts" and "I'd Rather Be Getting a Tattoo". I had no idea that they made such stupid baby clothing. Brit also accidently exposed herself getting out of the car, but I guess that's not a big deal since (as she pointed out) she is a nut.

Make your own doll!

Draw-It-On Dolls are just too cool. They come with their own pens so your little one can color their clothing, which is made of water resistant paper. They were designed by artist Merav Flam who, according to Modern Seed where they are sold, "brings into each of her designs that special touch that makes them so lovable and irresistible." They retail for about $40 a piece and come in a boy and girl.
