{1} What is new with you & Petit Couture since we last chatted?

Petit Couture has grown in distribution and collection since last we spoke. I'm so excited about our current Spring/Summer pieces and to report that we have retailers in three countries! It's a great feeling knowing that our pieces are well-travelled :). Petit Couture has also been spotted in Hollywood and our friends "The Guncles" routinely have Simone wearing Petit Couture. We're honored and so happy that our brand is loved. In addition, due to the visibility Petit Couture has received, I've been asked to guest blog with amazing groups like Launch HER and companies like Shutterfly. And, I've recently accepted a role with GrowsUp leading their marketing efforts and help other mom-based, or dad, boutique businesses flourish. 

2.) Can you tell us about the latest collection?

The Spring/Summer '11 collection is a culmination of textures and silhouettes that are modern yet classic. Petit Couture stands for pieces that celebrate childhood, yet are sophisticated for moms, dads and grands. The color palette rich with gorgeous reds, yellows, pink, white, black and grey are a fun, vibrant mix of modern colors that can transcend a season. Our Peruvian sweaterknits are the perfect layering or basic piece for comfy looks that are totally washable. And, our woven skirts and dress make for an easy wash and wear look that are fun to wear and easy to move in. I'm really proud of the collection and the myriad of ways that retailers can merchandise and customers can select favorite pieces to mix and match.

{Rebecca's FAVE!}

3.) Do you have a current favorite? 

My personal favorite ensemble is our Peruvian sweaterknit boatneck sweater paired with our ruffle wrap skirt. I absolutely LOVE IT and think it is a fabulous rendition for littles of the 70s. I think every stylish tot should have this outfit.Our bestseller and another favorite too, has been our Simone Pleat Dress and it is greatly loved by kids and parents alike. 

4.) What is up next for Petit Couture? 

Petit Couture will launch our next Spring/Summer '12 collection to the trade later this summer with pre-sales available to the public in October. In stores/online in February '12.

current obsession: the Little Giraffe NapSack

Whether you're catching a flight, taking a road trip, heading to day care or off the Grandma's - the Little Giraffe NapSack ($95) perfects nap time. The three-piece set includes a chenille pillow trimmed in satin, chenille toddler sized blanket and satin handle carrier to keep it all tucked away until it is time for snoozing. We just LOVE the the satin trim which makes the perfect blanket for any Little to grasp onto as they drift off to dreamland. 

Another reason we just love it? Little Giraffe is a celeb-fave with Suri Cruise, Brad & Angelina, Nicole Richie and Gwen Stefani who are always clinging to Little Giraffe wherever they go. It is one of those we-can't-leave-home-without-it items you must always have in hand. 

Use "DailyCandyNS" at checkout to get 10% off the NapSack as it was recently featured in Daily Candy Kids. You will also get free shipping with any order over $100. 

current momma obsession -- the wiggyroll -- giving away one too!

By Jenny Ford, Contributing Writer 

So I don’t have a lot of time anymore.  This mama’s kid is on the MOVE.  No time for installing things, plugging things in, backing things up, brushing my hair (oops, I let that one slip).  When I am trying to do these things my little guy is climbing all over me (Mama Mountain, I call myself) or getting into something else – so I instantly throw anything aside that has instructions.  When the WiggyRoll arrived, I seriously thought, Ohhh Mmmm Geeee, I am going to have to find the time to “install” this too – ugh!  Not so fast…as Oscar was climbing all over me and his car seat I decided to grab the new WiggyRoll and try it on for size. 

So simple I could’ve installed it while I had twins, or triplets even, crawling all over me.  And enough about the installation of the WiggyRoll, can I tell you that it’s so super soft that I kinda (secretly) want one for my car seat?  Even though we received the roll during one of the hottest days of the summer I know everyone will be looking for the perfect car seat blanket coming up in a few short months.  And one of my thoughts is - it’s not going to fall off at the most inopportune time as your crossing a giant puddle during those blustery months of winter.  Check out my little guy with it on…He looks so snuggly.

Ingenious design actually stays put on your kiddos car seat.  Some kids like to chuck things from their car seat (not mine, he’s perfect).

Built in storage – the WiggyRoll simply rolls right up and contains itself.  Ah, no last minute running through the house wondering where a clean blanket is.

The WiggyRoll is made of 100% anti-pill fleece.  Folks, they didn’t skimp on this fabric. It’s soft and it’s nice and thick, something I totally want in an outdoor blanket.

The blanket is cut precisely to a car seats measurements, which keeps it from hanging over the sides.  You can just tuck your little dumpling in and away you go.

I would totally go get one NOW before the fall and winter months creep up on you!  Or know someone with a baby due in the winter months, this would be a great gift for them too (I wish I had one when O was born last December, brrr.).

PS – they’ve got the cutest little matching hats too!
