Many of their designs for both baby and kids are inspired by the pureness and innocence of childhood.

Salma Hayek and Valentina Go Shopping!

Salma Hayek and her 8 ½-month-old daughter, Valentina, enjoyed a day of shopping in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, June 14th. Mommy and baby visited Tart and other shops in Melrose during their "girls" day. Valentina was seen wearing the Splendid Striped Polo Dress in seashell pink with a pair of kuuru pink and brown peyton shoes. Of course Baby Valentina looked just as beautiful as her mother!

For those little surfer boys...

Wes & Willy does it right with this laid back and comfortable approach to boys summer fashion. Each season they continue to impress...and this summer is no exception. We think little surfer boys will agree with the look of the Beach Patrol Infant Onesie Swimsuit...a black and white one piece swimsuit with surf graphic and rashguard. Great for protecting that sweet baby skin while at the pool or the beach. There's even a matching trendy tee for big brother!

To coordinate with sister, a simple bubble in the same Liberty print is available in in sizes 12 and 18 months.

Did you Know? A line for boys was developed last Spring and now is available in limited quantities in select boutiques.

Afterwards, riding mopeds to the Piazza at Castelvetrano, to eat bocconcini and gelati at your favorite café.
