Seraphine carries their own exclusive label as well as Elle MacPherson's lingerie line at both of their high end stores in London and Paris.

Claudia purchases from the Kensington store in London included a cot from La collection Blanche, a bed bumper, accessories, and bed linen, all for her daughter Clementine.

Milkdudz: A Cool Cover-Up




Want to breastfeed in public, but not have it be so, uh....public? Try Milkdudz! Milkdudz is dedicated to designing refreshing, innovative, stylish products for all breastfeeding moms. That's why they started with the The BabyMina, a breastfeeding cover-up made of organic material, which is also currently the only nursing cover-up on the market that allows eye-to-eye contact between baby and mommy while not completely covering up the baby entirely.

It's also got a nifty utility pocket inside which is made to hold breastpads for mommy or anything else you might need. The BabyMina can also be used as a changing pad or blanket, and rolls up small enough to fit nicely in the diaper bag. You can buy one online, or at several stores listed on their website.

Star of the Show

We have teamed up with Thrifty Mama, over at the Daily Stroll, and she has so nicely agreed to write articles for us every so often on cool and upscale baby products. Here's a recent one:





Star of the Show

Let's just face it- you are not the star anymore.

So you got highlights and a new haircut and you mopped the kitchen floor- well guess what? No one noticed. Someone has taken your place as royal highness of the household and you better get used to it. Now you may be upset and concerned about this derailment of focus on you since you spent 9 months getting all of the attention and then BAM! Faster than you can say Emeril your beloved baby has taken the reigns and is driving the attention buggy all over the place. You don't mind though and this I can figure is for 2 reasons, 1. Your child is just so darn cute that why shouldn't they be getting all of the attention, and 2. You would rather no one pay attention to the extra junk you are still carrying in your trunk and the fact that you did your highlights yourself and they didn't come out right.

Fortunately for little show stealing babies all over the world there is a new line of duds to boost their ego even more than it already has been. BabyStar.com

The designs are fabulous, the textures and soft luxurious feelings are indescribable and that is just the line of bibs!

Jordan shops at Mothercare




Supermodel and soon-to-be mom again Jordan (aka Katie Price) was photographed shopping over the weekend at UK mega-baby store Mothercare in Crawley, West Sussex with fiance Peter Andre. Katie's baby is due in a few weeks, as you can probably tell and it will be her second and Peter's first.

Katie was seen buying clothes for both a boy and a girl because she does not want to know what sex of their baby is. Peter, who does know, also bought a book on names.

Traveling with the kid




I recently added this link to our lovely line-up, and I felt the need to share why. Jetsetbaby is a store selling travel products, and the best around. They've really got some neat stuff there, like some of the coolest looking travel beds I have ever seen. Plus they sell the some neato feeding products like the chalkroll and those sweet little bibs clips. So check them out if you have a few minutes or are planning a summer getaway with baby!

Posh blankets for the babies of the stars




Appearing in InStyle Magazine this month, Lucky Jade cashmere blankets have taken Hollywood by storm. Loved by Courtney Cox and Debra Messing, these blankets are made from 100% cashmere yarn and come in all sorts of modern designs and colors. I just think they are awesome! They are sold online and in stores, and the only thing missing on their site is a store list. I think that would be helpful. Other than, former clothing designer Leslie Pitts's has done a great job creating these special little "blankies".
