Yippee! Petit Bateau is now fully stocked at Kid!  It’s timeless, classic and I better not stare at this photo any longer.  It’s reminding me that Mia isn’t a little baby anymore.  I received a striped dress from this line when Mia was born, and I had to wait months before it would fit.  It was so cute I practically hung it on the wall above her crib.  Honestly, Mia still wears it even though it’s transformed from a stylish dress to practically a midriff three quarter length sleeve shirt at this point.  And yes, it’s true.  It’s becoming a bit of a struggle to get it over her head.

Wait until you see what’s coming late Fall. You will rarely see me doing a rain dance, but this yellow rain coat (Remember Paddington Bear?) will change all that.  And more stripes!  Nope.  Not tired of them.  Not even a bit.

It’s really a shame that Mia can’t fit into all the pinstripe onesies that are lined up on the shelves here.  I guess I missed the Little Boat on that (pun intended).

What am I going to have to do to convince this designer to make each and every outfit in my size?  These bohemian rhapsodies are at the top of fave list.  I wish I was the girl playing the guitar, but I’ll admit, I would probably be the one holding the tambourine and shaking what momma gave me since I never got the guitar lessons I wanted when I was eight.  Kids are so cool these days.

I want to go on and beyond about the dress pictured here: embroidered flowers on this chic frock, the pony tail style, the boots, the stockings, the slatted walls, the worn table, the darling cherub expression, but instead I’ll just shall stare at the screen rocking back and forth chanting I love it.  I do!  You can pick these latest Fall fashions for your little ones at KID!

Easily the cutest house shoes available for babies, these booties and ballet flats from Collegien have been on my must have list for months. My shipment (straight from France!) finally arrived and I’m practicing all my self control to not buy Mia a different pair for every day of the week.

We have the orange and white stripes for now. And they are so adorable on her tiny feet. Pop in and pick some up STAT. This may be my only shipment. Ever.

Did you see that Kid is now open two doors down from Firefly? Thought you might like a little tour of the shop. It’s a work in progress, but we couldn’t wait to open the doors until it was 100% perfect. Nothing’s ever 100% perfect, is it?

Stop by and see us! 1409 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice CA 90291. And our new website is up too!
