"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? 

xo,
Lindsey

OMG! You are so sweet for including The Hippy Headband!
Your posts always crack me up. Your illustrations are nothing short of amazing!
Otto would be a beautiful girl, but it's cause he's such a handsome dude!

Ok I need those Pumas like yesterday! D would rock those! Adorbs.
Also think of the dramarama with the little girls! OMG! LOL! WTF! etc....
BUT the headbands and barrettes are totes adorable.

Thanks, Brandy. He is a pretty lil guy if I do say so. And i seriously can't stop thinking about this headband (and the feather one) I'm just waiting for anyone I know to have a girl!

Alana I knew you'd love those kicks too! Otto has a pair of lil Pumas and I seriously am sad that he just outgrew them. Baby Pumas are like the cadillac of baby sneaks!

You can dress me, my daughter, and the new girl. I love the shades. I want a pair for me too! You are so cool.

OT and ET said...

Clare <3 I totally have you in mind with this stuff!

You can totally borrow my girls anytime. I totally feel you on gushing over the opposite sex clothings. I check out little boy clothes as well and right about now I want to try again for a boy. Persephone is 9months now and that's how young Pandora was when I got pregnant. I miss being pregnant even with its annoyances

Oh my gosh, more power to you, Phyllis! If I was good at getting pregnant we'd already have a girl (or at least another boy) by now. And having both would be so fun! Plus you totally deserve a little boy clothes action. They really are cute (but I still think girl clothes are cuter). xo
