All Things French For Kids

Have you ever found a website and then spent the next few days clicking around, dreaming of everything you’ve seen, and wanting to buy almost every item on it?

Well this happened to me a few weeks ago. I found the site French Blossom via a link I saw on twitter, and now I want absolutely everything on the site.

French Blossom carries items that are all from French Designers – from baby gear, clothing, accessories, room decor, home, design, for both girls and boys. The colors are soft, the styles are simple and luscious and every thoughtfully chosen item is just well..oh so French.

Trust me on this – you too will want to travel to the land of of Eiffel Tour, fine fabrics, amazing food, clean lines, and classic styling when you visit French Blossom. Your Parisian baby will thank you.

I love their selections of art supplies and papers. My girls will go crazy over all of this.

Even though we just redecorated our kid’s rooms – I now have the urge to go with a French motif and start all over again. How dreamy are these home decor items?

Posh Tots: Fancy Footwear

Shoes tend to be my favourite part of an outfit, whether I am dressing myself or my daughter. I don’t normally budget shop when it comes to shoes, because I think a good quality pair is essential not only for style but for the comfort of our feet. Especially when it comes to little ones — I think their feet need extra special attention. Even though I am not one to buy inexpensive shoes for my family, I still have a price range in mind when we go shoe shopping, and don’t normally go over that (unless it’s a REALLY amazing pair of shoes!). Imagine my surprise when I was looking around for some spring shoes for Tatum and found a pair of Dolce & Gabbana girls sandals for over $600! I’m all for quality footwear…but that makes my wallet (and my logical brain) cry.

Of course, once I saw those outrageously priced sandals, I had to peek around and see what other crazily priced shoes I could find. If there are parents buying these shoes for their kids, there are some stylish children walking around out there! Take a look at some of the high-end footwear I found for kids, as well as a few moderately priced pairs that appear to be super-posh, but are only a fraction of the price of some of the luxe shoes I included .

Maclaren Strollers and BMW Team Up

Here’s a stroller that every sporty parent is going to love pushing around the neighborhood because it’s all about BMW. That’s right, the sleek German-engineered auto manufacturer has teamed up with Maclaren to bring you a first-class strolling experience. The new Maclaren BMW combines contoured design with engineering excellence.

What I like about this product is the understatement; you know that phrase, “less is more”? Key elements of a Maclaren stroller are redesigned exclusively for BMW and then the logo is added in tastefully selected areas that incorporate well into the overall look. Let me give you a brief tour.

The new BMW stroller by Maclaren

Seat

The stain-resistant removable seat liner has been reworked to look and feel like the bucket seat of a BMW. It is a really sleek looking. The padded 5-point safety harness has the signature Maclaren heavy-duty buckle with the BMW insignia. While the seat has multiple recline positions, it does not lie completely flat, and is suitable only for babies six months and older.

Performance Features

This is, no question, a city stroller, but it is equipped with 4-wheel suspension to smooth out the ride. Five-inch hard wheels have the BMW look. The aluminum frame is sturdy, with a 55-pound carrying capacity, yet the stroller weighs just over 12 pounds. Reflective piping and red reflectors on the rear frame provide low light safety.

Weather Protection

I love the contoured sun hood with its sleek look. Tinted peek-a-boo windows on each side keep the sun out your child’s eyes. A zip-out mesh panel provides another peek-a-boo window and allows for air circulation. A rain shield is included with purchase.

Parent Amenities

A small storage pocket behind the seat provides a space for your wallet, keys or phone. The storage basket beneath the seat is standard Maclaren. It doesn’t hold much; you could fit a small diaper bag and a few essentials. The ergonomic handle bars are comfortable for adults with different heights at 41 inches from the ground.

Maclaren BMW strollers come in blue, black or silver.

Customer Feedback

While new on the market, the Maclaren BMW has gotten 5-star reviews so far for sleek design and smooth handling. This is a luxury product, and a price that reflects that. This buggy retails for $385 and is not available in stores. If you like Limited Edition products, especially from Maclaren’s Object of Design series, you will love the BMW.

What do you think of the Maclaren and BMW collaboration?

Posh Tots: High-End Winter Coats

We are in the dead of winter now here in Canada, so we are bundling up in our winter warmest each day. Tatum’s current winter wear is a cute but mostly functional-only snowsuit that keeps her as toasty as possible. When it comes to winter time up here in the north, being able to stay warm in -35 weather is the priority, and sometimes that means sacrificing a little style. Bulky parkas and boots are our daily uniform.

Even though the colder months in Canada may sometimes be less-than-ideal for winter fashion, I always find myself perusing the children’s outerwear and browsing the most adorable outerwear. And as usual, I normally find myself coveting the most expensive pieces I can find. There’s something about high-end clothing that seems to call me in, even when it’s not even close to being in my budget. Boy, did I find some pieces that were out of my budget. Wayyyyy out.

If you want to imagine dressing your children in only the most luxurious winter warmest, take a look at these extravagant items I’ve rounded up below!

Posh Tots: Extravagant Holiday Wear

Being right smack in the middle of holiday season, one of my main goals is finding a lovely holiday dress/outfit for my little girl to wear for our Christmas Day meal. Having her decked out in an adorable, festive outfit is one of my favourite parts of the day. There’s something about seeing little kiddos freshly scrubbed and in their best clothes that makes Christmas complete.

I always have a budget for Tatum’s clothes — I don’t normally go too crazy with buying expensive items — but I recently stumbled upon some gorgeous and very highly priced holiday wear items that got me day-dreaming yet again about what it might be like to be able to afford these luxurious pieces. So, for your viewing and drooling pleasure, please take a look at my favourite and most extravagant holiday clothes for boys & girls!
