Best & Co. for the fall

Arriving in my mail today was newest catalog from Best & Co. The Greenwich, CT store founded and owned by Susie Hilfiger (wife of Tommy) now has out their fall collection. Called the Whimsical Windsor Collection, their clothing this season was inspired by Susie's own personal collections from Duke and Duchess of Windsor's estate. Those things can also be seen in the catalog, as the photos were taken at her home.

You can shop Best & Co. online, at their store in Greenwich, Bergdorf Goodman's in NYC, or at one of their many trunk shows.

New Seaon at Jacadi

French clothing store for kids, Jacadi, has in their winter collection. You can buy online now or pick up a new catalog in one of their 30 stores in the USA. Lots of new things this season, including a bunch of stuff for babies. I've always like this store. Their clothing lines always live up to exceptations. I think the winter stuff is just darling.

New From Graco

The Mosaic travel system from Graco has now hit stores in both the UK and the USA. Billed as a lightweight stroller, the Mosaic comes with a Snugride carseat that attaches to it. And even though its small, the Mosaic includes a large storage pocket, a parent cup holder, and compact folding. Available at most stores carrying Graco

Cute Baby Frame

I was sent this cute little frame by the company that produces it, Liquid. They are a personalized gift company out of Ohio that makes frames, wall letters, and other neat things in metal. They recently opened a new online store where they sell some very pretty baby frames like the one above, so check them out!

Brit's baby gifts

Britney Spears's much celebrated baby shower on August 6th that included a North African dinner, rose petals, and even a small shooting of a reporter, has been recaped in this week's PEOPLE. The story includes photographs of the event, including the above picture.

Some of the gifts included a white wrought-iron bassinet from her mom, a car seat, a stroller, an infant bathtub, lots of stuffed animals and tiny togs that were all conveniently gender-neutral. No names of specific products are included in their online article, but the basket in the picture from PEOPLE is from Bonpoint. The cradle shown in another picture is a Corsican Cradle.

Bare Babies gets some cool new stuff

Online webstore Bare Babies has some new loot. They are now selling the Safari Peg Perego collection, with strollers and such in rich khaki with black contrast print. Not sure what's so safari about that, but none the less it looks great. BB also has in some nice new Britax carseats with brand new prints like Luau, Aloha, Puma, Mosaic, and Zebra. I guess everybody's going exotic this year.

Also in stock are Recaro carseats. Recaro is well-known for their manufactoring of car and truck seats as well as custom racing shells. At this time they are selling two boosters and one convertible seat.
