Lark and Loon Giveaway!

Lark and Loon started with the question, "Why not make artwork wearable?" Based in Decatur, Georgia, Lark and Loon commissions original pieces from artists across the country and turns them into unique, wonderfully soft, carefree clothing for children ages 2 to 12. All clothing is made of pure cotton using water based inks, and is available in a variety of tees, drops and leggings. What's super cool about this company is they donate five percent of profits to Americans for the Arts, a foundation that supports art in public schools!

Our favorite piece of artistry at Lark and Loon is the golden yellow "Ruff" tee, perfect for little boys who love to take charge! For girls, we favor the "Kiss of the Mushroom" tank drop, for its whimsicle design that brings us back to the magical, make-believe world of childhood.

This week, Lark and Loon is sponsoring a great giveaway contest at Baby Style Watch. One lucky reader will be able to choose either a short sleeve tee or cap or tank drop of your choice! To enter, simply subscribe to Baby Style Watch - or if you are already a subscriber, please send an e-mail entry to info@babystylewatch.com. The winner will be chosen on Wednesday, August 6th.

Owner and founder, Carolyn Corley Burgess, only chooses lines made of the finest fabrics, and of an aesthetic that represent her classic tastes. She is very selective when it comes to quality and doesn’t carry anything she wouldn’t dress her own child in. Almost everything you see in Petit Luxe is something she loves and owns. You’ll love top selling lines full of wonderful staples including Dagmar Daley, Flora and Henri, and Baby CZ. One of our favorites at Petit Luxe is the delicate and feminine Silk Petticoat Skirt by Baby CZ, the perfect “luxe” item for any special occasion. We also can’t resist the stylish boys Expedition Jacket by Dagmar Daley.

Our top pick at High IntenCity is the Little Miss Giggles Cabochon neclace. Framed by purple crystals and accented with a purple heart charm for an extra touch of sass.

Featured Designer: Micro Me

Skater turned Mommy, Natasha Levin, is the name behind the innovative and edgy clothing line called Micro Me (also known as M2). Prior to launching Micro Me Clothing, Natasha spent ten years as a graphic artist in the skate & snow industries working for top companies such as Vans, Burton, and Hurley. The birth of her son inspired Natasha to transition into designing skate influenced infant/toddler clothing, leading to the establishment of Micro Me in 2004.


Even though the line represents the skate/snow/punk-rock lifestyle – Micro Me has a conscience. The company’s tagline says it all “Core (But Never Crass) ‘Lil Threads for the Next Gen”. A big plus for parents who like their trendy core style – but don’t want the offensive phrases you see on many children’s tees and accessories today.


Little boys will go crazy over the pre-washed “Burnt” tees, which combine innovative artwork and soft comfortable fabrics – perfect for hot summer days! Our favorites at Baby Style Watch include the “Rock the Playground” and "Sacred Heart" tees. The tanks and "boop" skirts are for tough 'lil girlz who like to ride bikes & skateboard with her older brothers, but still be able to twirl around ....they're two parts tomboy, one part girlie girl!

Brooke Burke's daughter, Heaven Rain, was photographed wearing the popular "Babygirl Skull" dress this Spring. Now you can have the same looks celebrities love with Micro Me Clothing, available at many online retailers including Under My Umbrella, Rockin' Sprouts, and Little Cool Dudes.

Featured Boutique: All About Baby

The idea for All About Baby boutique began in 1993 when owner Nancy Wurtzel ordered a personalized baby scroll for her newborn daughter. Disappointed by the poor quality and lack of customer service during her shopping experience, Nancy decided she could simply do things better. After 18 months of planning, All About Baby was born with the launch of the Babyography, a newborn birthday scroll. Now, fourteen years later, All About Baby has expanded to offer one of the largest selections of baby clothing and keepsake gifts on the web.


Our favorite gift idea at All About Baby is the new line of terry cloth hooded towels. Made with much attention to detail using super-soft, thirsty fabric and top-rate stitching, the hooded towels make great gifts that will stand the test of time. Parents and little ones will love the funky, retro-inspired colors and pattern combinations available, making the terry cloth hooded towel a hip accessory that can be used beyond the bath…allowing kids to make a statement at the pool or beach this summer.


If you are looking for more of a classic, conservative approach to covering up – then you’ll favor their line of personalized terry cloth robes. Designed for comfort and simplistic style, each robe features two patch pockets, a self belt, a generous hood and handy loop at the back of the neck for easy hanging. The striking soft knit trim in either green, pink, or blue will appeal to even the pickiest of personalities!

Celebrities including Halle Berry, Marcia Cross, Jennifer Lopez, Tori Spelling, and Heidi Klum all own the trendy new line of hooded towels available at All About Baby. Now you can get in on the fun…and be assured you will receive top-notch customer service during your boutique shopping experience. And to top it off, All About Baby is now offering a 15% summer discount to Baby Style Watch readers using promo code AABD at checkout!

Featured Designer: Black Eyed Susie

Australian-based label, Black Eyed Susie, is one of our recent discoveries in the wonderful world of Etsy shops. The girls clothing line began when designer Susan Dryburgh began sewing beautiful pieces out of love for her daughter Chloe. People began to take notice of her unique vintage fabrics and retro-styling…and thus Black Eyed Susie was born.


What is most appealing about the clothing line is its strong contrast from the pink frilliness of typical little girls clothing. Using simple garments as a backdrop, the vibrant vintage fabrics are able to stand out and shine. Each piece of clothing is hand cut and machine sewn by Susan herself to produce one-of-a-kind items you won’t see on other children.


Black Eyed Susie is always coming out with new styles and vintage fabrics, but a favorite among customers in recent months has been the collection of gorgeous A-line polka dot dresses inspired by1930’s fashion. The comfortable and hardwearing denim dresses particularly caught our eye – where bold, retro-inspired floral fabrics really pop against a dark denim silhouette. A classic look, with a contemporary edge, that can be worn as a summer dress- or with pants or leggings. We also couldn't resist the Little Birdie pants, featuring dark brown, apple and peach hues, and a beautiful pocket accent.


Don’t worry – they haven’t forgotten the boys! Due to the strong demand for unique and cool little boys clothing, Black Eyed Susie is currently developing a new clothing line for boys called “Little Blokes", which will be available in their Etsy shop very soon.
