Seems like this was the summer of  love for Crib Rock Couture & Decor - in the press that is.  The latest? Crib Rock’s Metal Mania Panels land in ”805 Living” magazine’s coveted back to school issue.  Check it out.

According to children’s fashion expert, Michelle Kouzmine, Crib Rock Couture is a back-to-school fashion Must Have for Fall 2008.  We’re in excellent company on the “2008-Must-Have” list with edgy brands Ed Hardy Kids (which Madonna and family favor), household name Diesel Jeans and Kingsley Tees made famous by Shiloh.  Not that we can’t drop a few names: Apple, Moses, Lola, Honor, Brody Jo, Violet, Maddox, Kimaya, Zahara.  The Crib Rock celebrity list has legs. But that’s not what gets you onto Ms. Kouzmine’s exclusive BTS list and it’s certainly not what keeps a brand there year after year.

Now for more good news!  In celebration of making the list, Crib Rock will ship all retail clothing purchases from our site Free of Charge during the month of September 08.  Just use the code ”MustHave” during online checkout. That’s right, FREE SHIPPING. You pay zip, nada, nuthin.  Now that’s a Must-Have everyone can appreciate!

Strange but true, and pretty cool.  We don’t read/speak Russian but if you do, please click on the link and let us know what they’ve said!  This is right up there with being featured in Elle Greece a few years back. 

When Crib Rock launched the LEGENDS collection of tees and onesies earlier this summer, we couldn’t have possibly imagined that the world was about to witness life imitating art.  Suddenly, Cryptid sightings swept the country to the extent that a week can’t pass without a new folklore legend being photographed, video taped, unearthed or washed ashore.

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. Read the rest of this entry »

As Beijing welcomes the world to 2008 Olympic Games, we’re reminded that there isn’t much these days that’s still made in the USA - let alone a company’s entire line of products. 

CRIB ROCK is the rare exceptions to the rule, as all of our tees, raglans, thermals, pants and onesies are cut, sewn, dyed and screened in the USA and always have been. 

And our nursery decor?  As the boss would say we’re “Born in the USA,”  made from start to finish right here in our country’s glamour capital following the strictest social compliances.  (In other words, we’re sweat shop free.)  Just a little something we thought you might like to know.

Everyone has Batman on the brain this week but there’s a building buzz around the long-awaited X-Files flick too. As far as we can tell, the only thing missing from this sci-fi movie is this little guy from Crib Rock’s Metal Mania wall hook line.  Good thing you, Mulder and Scully can all buy him right here!

Massachusetts’ rocking kids shop R and S Avenue (Rattle and Stroll) has a style and essence all it’s own. Characters Rattle and Stroll are the brother/sister team with an eye for fashion and fun, who act as co-spokespersons for R&S Avenue. The pair can be found kicking it in both their Mashpee and Hyannis locations, and online.

Nice to chat with you two. So Rattle, how would you describe your personal style?
I love edgy tutus and glamorous fairytale dresses. It’s so much fun to wear frilly ruffles flipped with couture street style. I love the spotlight and attracting attention!

Okay Stroll…same question for you…
I love rocking my fly greaser jeans and tattoo tee shirts. My style vibe is vintage rock meets modern punk and comes from a blend of many different fashion flavors! I love to mix and match them all because while I may be little but I still have to dazzle the ladies!

So kids, which brands does your namesake store R&S Avenue rock these days?
Crib Rock Couture, Ed Hardy Kids, Christian Audigier Kids, Misha Lulu, Monster Republic, Joes Jeans, Harajuku Lovers, Kingsley, Kaos Recycled, Childish, Knuckleheads, Aristabrat, Little Lovelies & more!

R&S Avenue has two locations: 547 Main St., Hyannis, MA 02601, phone 508-771-1480 and R&S Avenue in Mashpee Commons, 22 North St., Mashpee, MA 02649.  For those not able to visit in person, check them out online at www.rsavenue.com.

The beautiful wife of Boston Celtic NBA Champion Kevin Garnett, Brandi Padilla Garnett was spotted purchasing Crib Rock Couture’s Concert Series onesies and tees from upscale boutique Hipster Kid in Westlake Village, CA last week for their daughter born in April 2008.

It’s no secret that my daughter Jordan was the inspiration for Crib Rock when the Concert Series Tees launched in 2005 and she continues to inspire creativity in our studio and in our hearts everyday.  I guess you could call her the Crib Rock Muse.

As our muse is growing up, my hope is that Crib Rock’s product line will expand and mature right along with her.  So when Jordan handed over sketches of a wall hook design she envisioned for her tween scene bedroom it was so rewarding to bring that vision to life.  See which product she inspired after the jump.
