"Head" Over Heels (Boys' Moms Love Ribbons and Bows Too)...

No, I'm not one of those weirdos who dress their son up in girls clothes. You've been watching too much TLC! But, as a mama to Otto (who looks like Shiloh Pitt and would, in fact, look DARLING dressed as a girl - not that I would ever), aunt to a sweet little mister, and with my two best friends both having little boys, let's just say there is a dearth of ribbons and bows in my life. That doesn't mean I can't window shop. And some day, who knows, maybe all my drooling over ribbons and bows will have me prepped and ready to shop if we ever have a little girl! (A few months ago this thought wouldn't have crossed my mind - but lately I'm thinking "that'd be cool"... anyways...) So, if I had a hip little lady to adorn I think I'd want her to dress kinda like me: a little dirty hippy, a little SoHo hipster, a little cozy cozy, and always adorable (ahem, well her, maybe not me on that last one, as i sit here in hole-y socks and mis-matched sweats).

Ok --> Ribbons and Bows! I'm kind of obsessed with...

Brandy of the Etsy shop BabyBlackbird sells a baby leather headband, awwww! And other hip little headbands as well. Her style definitely fits into the hippy+hipster category and bestill my heart!

Tracy of Sweet Harper makes all kinds of hair accessories that are totally unique, modern and FUN for little gals. There is so much to be said for child-like charm and whimsy!
These are baby sunglasses! OMG OMG OMG OMG they're from Janie and Jack. Le sigh.
Sorry I just passed out from the cuteness. Baby jeggings! By Trumpette. Maybe not technically a ribbon/bow but I was looking for sweet baby tights and came across these and then lost consciousness from the extreme cuteness. When I woke up from my stupor I knew I had to include them!

Ok, enough torturing myself with little lady cuteness for one afternoon. Any other boy-mama's creeping around the girl's department too? I KNOW I'm not the only one! Of course, little boy stuff is insanely cute too - like my all-time fave hipster shoes for lil guys, any and all baby Pumas!

And this Wa Kabuki cap by Sckoon puts a big ole smile on this boy-mama's face... 


Whatevs, all kids clothes are cute because they're small and on kids and kids are freaking cute. But just saying, sometimes I like to check out the "other side" and fill my eyes with pinks, violets, ribbons and frills. Totally normal, right?
