Good News...

babyGap has a "Glamour Girl" collection featuring tiny baby skinny jeans, stirrups (!!!) and some seriously Suri oversized sunglasses. And you were worried your 12-18 month old daughter wasn't glamorous enough.

Now, I am not sure what a great idea baby skinny jeans are since, in my experience, babies tend to have legs that are a little... how do I say this delicately... chubby.  I know when I am a little chubbier than normal (for instance, around the holidays) my skinny jeans start making my knees look a little fat like overstuffed sausage casings.  So at those times I tend to avoid the skinnies and opt for pants that give me knees a little more room to breathe (which is what typical baby pants do).  Maybe babyGap will come out with a line of babySlimFast or babyBikram to help babies stay in shape for skinny jeans.

The Leather Enthusiast

I love leather jackets that don't make their wearer look like a cheap imitation of the Village People's Leather Enthusiast.  This leather jacket is light weight and drapey when unsnapped.  It's chic and sophisticated and $250 online only at Urban Outfitters.

Stocking Stuffers from Victoria's Secret

So normally I hate knock off things.  And these Victoria's Secret Lacie Thongs are clearly a rip off of Hanky Panky's thongs.  And I love Hanky Panky.  But the VS knockoff Lacies are actually a pretty reasonable alternative if you don't feel like spending $18 a pair for Hanky Pankies.  They are 3 for $30 and available in the prettiest rainbow of colors.

Lacie 

Also 3 for $30 are the Supersoft Hiphugger.  And they aren't lying when they call these uns supersoft.  The are the softest and coziest cotton ever.  And they are totally presentable too.
