In the October issue of Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine, Erin Bransford has compiled her futuristic vision of a tangerine dream nursery utilizing modern decor and furnishings from ducduc, a crib with clean lines by Argington, baby bedding by Nurseryworks and steel wall decor by yours truly, Crib Rock’s Metal Mania. We like!

Eventually breast cancer touches all of us. Even if you never deal with it personally, and we hope you don’t, it may effect a dear friend, a family member, a co-worker or even your favorite TV Star.  In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Crib Rock® Couture and Decor is donating 20% of all net proceeds on the sales of Flying Heart Wall Hooks from the Metal Mania™ collection to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for the Cure® for the entire month of October 2008. (more…)

Halloween is the major social event of the fall for the 12 and under set. My daughter begins planing her elaborate Halloween outfit on the first day of school. Yesterday I found her riffling through our mailbox in search of costume catalogs, then diligently earmarking ghoulish attire and jotting down a “trick or treat” itinerary in her Disney day planner.

For those parents and grandparents who prefer to shower their kids with substantial “treats” instead of the sugary, fleeting kind, we suggest pairing one of our rocking Legends tees or onesies with the new book “Tales of the Cryptids,” for a perfectly haunting, calorie-free and sugar-free Halloween treat.

“Tales of the Cryptids,” is written especially for kids by Halls, Spears & Young and explores mysterious animal legends in realistic detail. I adore the fact that the writers applaud their young audience for having the “courage to wonder.” (more…)

I’ll be writing a full post on fabulous retailer Polka Dot Whale in our “Retailer” feature soon, but couldn’t resist posting these adorable photos of the owners daughter Emme rocking Crib Rock’s Lemon Crush Bo Peep ribbed tee with ruffle pantys and hot pink cowboy boots. She looks like a younger version of Matilda Ledger don’t you think? 

Based on the reaction of my fashionista tween who went gaga over these Converse xx hi lace-ups  we saw at a music video audition in Hollywood last week, this “gogo boot meets tennis shoe” hybrid is going to be a Back to School shoe slam dunk. 

I’ll admit - I love them too.  Who knows if they helped the tween queen wearing them to nail the part - but let’s just say that stylin’ these trend setters probably didn’t hurt.  

Teen shop Journey’s has to be thrilled as they appear to be the only retailer carrying them.  Pair these Converse with a luxe Crib Rock Supima modal cap sleeve, black leggings and a jean skinny skirt and Shazam! - you’ve struck back to school fashion gold.
