Etnies is launching a line of kids' shoes based on Disney's Phineas and Ferb characters and TV series. New for the holiday season, the Disney Phineas and Ferb footwear line has a pair of shoes specially designed for each character: Phineas Flynn, Ferb Fletcher, Perry the Platypus, Candace, Isabella and Dr. Doofenshmirtz.

The six pairs of shoes are available now at Etnies, Zappos and Famous Footwear and are priced at $65 or less. They come in toddler and kids' sizes. You can stay up to date on the Etnies Facebook page.

I knew as soon as I saw them that the Kiddo would want a pair. ;-)

 

The Children's PLACE Holiday Preview 2012

The Children's PLACE offered a sneak peek at their 2012 holiday baby and kids' clothes last night in NYC. Yes, that's right - HOLIDAY 2012! While we're just beginning back-to-school shopping now, it was nonetheless inspiring to see the winter trends for kids' outfits - and to see what we need to pick up to ensure that the Kiddo's sporting some style this next school year.

 

Overall, the Loft Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel was bustling and it was interesting to hear The Children's PLACE's own Michael Giannelli discuss some of the winter trends for kids with Nicole Feliciano, of MomTrends. The must-haves for the 2012 fall/winter are sparkles, monsters, and critter hats, and Michael even hinted at some things they're working on for next spring (hint: neon). The clothes I previewed will roll out beginning in September through November, with all of the new lines available by November 1st.

 

Here's a look at The Children's PLACE holiday outfits featured at the preview event:

Disney Baby Launches Cute 'n Cuddly Bodysuit

Today Disney Baby debuts its Disney Cuddly Bodysuit for infants on Amazon.com/DisneyBaby. These adorable li'l onesies are the onesies I wish existed in time for the Kiddo when he was a baby: soft 100% cotton in sophisticated Disney designs and featuring some clever favorite characters.

The Disney "Momgineers" behind the Disney Baby brand product line found that the average parent purchases 35 bodysuits in the first year alone. To help reduce that number for parents, the bodysuits have a second row of snaps to extend the wearability of the onesie as your baby grows. Disney Baby was focused on developing a bodysuit that was soft, durable and stylish - available in over 85 different designs.

I tend to like the more subtle character bodysuits myself, and really like this hidden Pooh and Piglet version. The colors are warm and modern, and would look cute with so many options of beautiful li'l cardigans, skirts or pants. They're tagless and have a lap shoulder neck opening for easy on/off changes. Here are a few of my favorites:

 

 

 

Great Deals for Li'l Rockers

City Threads is one of my fave clothing lines for Li'l Boo. We have their San Francisco zip up infant hoodie from our Cali days, a toddler size Chicago one from our time there, and we quickly picked up a New York hoodie and hat from them when we moved here earlier this summer. (I'm obviously a big fan . . . see shots of Li'l Boo below sporting their gear from coast-to-coast.)

So I was excited to get an email for previous and current customers announcing they're taking an additional 25% off everything online including items already marked down 50% . . . making these items 75% off! Click here for these sale items. Enter code: CT25NSX Sale ends at midnight 10/21.

There are several guitar/rock tees I plan to pick up for Li'l Boo and my nephew-to-be. . .
