Baby Couture from the Boom Boom Room
At this year’s Golden Globes, the stars
weren’t the only ones walking away with bags full of free goodies from designers. Actually, they were – but
not everything in the bags was for themselves. In addition to more adult-sized offerings, vendors set up a Boom Boom
Room that featured lots of stuff for kids and babies.
Crib Rock Couture has updated nursery rhyme characters on fashionable logo-tees. The tees are reminiscent of vintage rocker tee’s and are styled after classic tour shirts, but with the gentler edge that only Miss Muffet can provide. The new 3 Blind Mice tee, from the “Carving Knife Tour” is especially cute at $33.
Diapees & Wipees makes fashionable bags for toting around the most important baby tools, diapers and wipes, without lugging a carrier that looks like a picnic cooler. The bags come in bright, vibrant colors and retail for $14.99.
Snugglebug Baby makes jeweled pacifier clips, which keep fashion-forward parents from losing their baby’s favorite object and lets baby start collecting bling early in life. The clips are $25.00 and come in boys and girls styles, like the Swarovski clip pictured here, with additional customization available.

Anyone that would spend this type of money on materialistic things that won't be used in another year have more money than brains. Wake up Baby Boomers, retirement is around the corner, and you are in no way prepared. Whose fault will it be? Yours.

Those expensive bejeweled pacifier clips are so excellent- excellent CHOKING HAZARDS, that is!

Kids are expensive. People can talk about the miracle of life for hours, but they never talk about how freakin' expensive the whole thing is. So, if you're going to be charged thousands of dollars to squeeze one out, what's a measly $25 for something to hold it's pacifier? And why do so many moms buy stuff to delight an infant or toddler who doesn't really give? They don't care if a diaper bag has barney or chickens, so why not carry a bag that suits everyone's needs - function and style combined (and $15 is hardly extravagant).
On another note, wouldn't baby boomers be grandparents (the youngest boomers are 42), and secondary decision makers in baby related buying? And aren't most style related purchases limited in time anyway? Babies grow out of things quickly, adults grow bored with things quickly - it's purpose is lost for different reasons, but the effect is the same.

Why would anyone buy a kid a binky holder that had jewels on it in the first place? Not only is it stupid, but they run the risk of choking their child. DUH! The expensive clothes and things they buy to make their kids stand out only makes them have to do like the rest of us and have to go buy more clothes in a fe months at a more expensive price. Maybe if these stars were concentrating on something important imstead of who they can covert to Scientology or whose wife they can sleep with. Hollywood used to mean something. Now it has become Howrywood, the land of whores and wooden figures. No one is like the old figures of old Hollywood. No one named their child Apple, Finn, or any of the strange names they do now. I am so very let down that our "movie stars" of today are little nothings with no brains. I have a few I take away from that category, but for the most part, these people who go out, have a kid, and all of a sudden, a million dollar picture is made from some ugly little kid who did not ask for any of this; he or she just happened to be born to a famous person, and from now on, is going to be treated as an attachment. I like the stars who do not use their children or their wardrobes for a opportunity to be photographed. I think there should be more of them.

Why can't people let babies look like babies and the sweet, lovely youngsters they are? There's not a lot of time to let simple clothes place the focus on the child and not whatever fad or cause the parents have chosen. Let the child wear comfortable, washable, playable clothes for a REAL childhood, then they can look like a gang banger, dork, or whatever.
Sad moment in my life is seeing a two month old, lovely little baby girl wearing a black knit wool cap and black shirt.
