Does your casually chic baby sport that casual chic LA style? Then she deserves her own super-soft cotton couture pants to match mom’s trendy terry sweats. The velour black gothic type lettering on the back makes a fashion statement whether your baby wears them while relaxing at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, to lunching at the Ivy. Available at Surfside Baby.

Sushi Anyone?

They are oversized, so they protect your little one from errant strained peas spilling on their haute couture baby clothes. The coordinating go mats are the perfect lightweight changing table pad on the go. They are soak proof and machine washable for the ultimate in convenience. Available at Jolie’s Baby Boutique.

Is Your Baby Already a Chick Magnet?

Urban Smalls makes hilarious baby retro ringer onesies that are anything but cutesy. Imagine your baby in a shirt that says, “Chicks Dig Me” or “My Mom’s a Fox.”

The best girl shirt is a line from dirty dancing that says “Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner.” These onesies take phrases from the 70’s and 80’s and put them on baby clothes. It’s a great baby shower gift and is sure to bring a smile to any new mommy’s glowing face. Available at Uncommongoods.
