lisa leonard designs

Today we deviate from the children's fashion world to share our favorite fashion accessory for trendy moms. Lisa Leonard Designs puts a modern twist on the traditional charm neclace, with clean and simple details that are sure to impress. Inspired by nature and other artists, Lisa Leonard brings a fresh, young approach to jewelery for mothers.

Our favorite design, Teenie Tiny Initials, allows moms to wear the initials of their little ones close to their heart. The sterling pea-size initals are strung with a freshwater pearl to enhance the look.


If you want a little more and want to make a bigger statement, then you'll love the Tiny Squares neclace by Lisa Leonard Designs. This beautiful piece showcases each child's name on two hammered squares (About 1/2" each), which are hung from a thick, sterling ring and strung on sterling chain. A cream freshwater pearl adds the perfect detail.

Featured Designer: Pears and Bears

Vintage. Modern. Classic. Three words that only begin to describe the beautiful and impeccably made clothing label that is Pears and Bears. The line began seven years ago when designer Kayce Hughes began creating clothing for her girls. Moms took notice and asked how they could purchase her designs....and the rest is history.

Inspired by all things vintage and input from her seven children (she is our hero!), Kayce designs clothing for children that is well-made, looks great, and most importantly for kids - feels good to wear. You'll love the endless collection of dresses at Pears and Bears, full of designs ranging from playful to elegant - and all with their signature, modern twist. Our favorites include the spunky Andrea Dress and the preppy Sophie Jumper.

Why will you love Pears and Bears? They also offer a clothing collection for hip moms! Why not pamper yourself as well this season with a Ruffle Shirt dress in either blue or camel? Or you may go for their Modern Tunic dress for fall....which even comes is coordinating children's styles and colors.

Pears and Bears is offering 25 percent off all regular priced items THIS WEEK ONLY for Baby Style Watch readers using promo code 25percent.

Featured Designer: Hucklebones

Hucklebones London. A children's clothing line full of high-end fabrics and color hues that can only be described as luxurious, modern-vintage, and timeless. With backgrounds in both women's fashion and graphics/illustration, designers Zoe and Dan felt inspired to create something that would give a little extra excitement to the market of high end toddler fashion....and thus Hucklebones was born.


The inspiration for many of their designs comes from Zoe and Dan's favorite pastime of wandering around French brocante and antique fairs. Hucklebones children's clothing mimics the silhouette of high end fashion in that much work is put into the shape, cut, and fit of each piece. Little ones will not only look fabulous...but they will feel fabulous wearing the latest Hucklebones wool coat. And parents will feel even better because this high quality fashion label creates garmets that can be handed down to the next generation...because the exceptional quality will last forever.


The Fall/Winter 2008 collection includes a beautiful blend of designs using 100% silks, pure wools, and cashmeres. If only they made a line for adults! Our favorite item from Hucklebones this season is the Mustard Seed Double Breasted Coat. Made from pure Italian wool, it will keep your little girl extra warm this winter. The Gilet is another must-have! Also available in mustard, its a great piece that can be used over a sweater as a jacket or to keep off the chill over a long sleeved knit. Pair with the Dotty Bow Skirt in forest green and turquoise polka dot.


Hucklebones is stocked in high end boutiques around London, Copenhagen, and several online boutiques. You may also shop their online shop at www.hucklebones.co.uk/shop. Hucklebones is offering a 10% discount to Baby Style Watch readers. The promo code is 'holly' and is valid until the end of November.
