You’ve probably seen an adult fashion story or two about taking an outfit from day to night. Well, Minneapolis fashion designer Anne M. Cramer has the kid version down pat. Her new line for little ones—called Annie—has that playground-to-party ease every practical mom and twirly-skirt-loving daughter can agree on. Who says a silk skirt, when smartly ...

We’ve been in plenty of consignment shops for kids clothing…but none as well done as Clover in Richmond, Virginia. Besides it having a great selection, range of sizes, and great prices, the interior styling is great.  

We ran into our friend Cynthia Rowley last night, and fell in love with her leggings, which she told us are pretty much like a Spanx/legging combo. They’re called bonded leggings—they’re thick enough to wear as a pant (not see-through at all) and warm enough for winter.

We love how our friend Jen stitched together her husband’s sweater filled with holes…even though the stitches are very rudimentary, the effect is very cool. Reminds us of what we see in our favorite Japanese stores like 45 RPM or Trico Field.

She’s the designer of the clothing line Two which she started after having her first baby

Last fall I found myself in a very cool men’s shop in SF called Unionmade, waiting around for forever, while my husband shopped. Finally, I started shopping myself, and tried on an indigo t-shirt, that looked like it could be my new best friend. I was right. I bought two. And while I love the ...

When Darcy, an LA based photographer and mother of two, came into our office the other day, we had to take her picture. We love how equally pulled together, cute, and comfortable her outfit was. Here’s what she had to say about it: “I got the sweater at a sale at Tse. It’s a car ...

We saw our friend Jessica with this bag last week…and both stopped her as she was walking by to ask her about the bag. We couldn’t believe it when she told us it was from Zara. It’s leather, $149, and it also comes in a nice shade of brown. However, I think it’s limited to being a work ...

We visited our friend Ariel at her office, and loved her leather necklace…which, turns out, was a belt that she took off after a rather long, heavy lunch. It’s just a skinny black leather belt, but you could easily do this with a long piece of soft, malleable leather.

Earlier this year we met Valerie, the woman behind Bakker Made With Love, a line of kids’ clothes and accessories that she designs with her husband out of Paris. Needless to say, it was her shoes–the best pair of Repetto shoes ever–that caught our eye. (Meanwhile, it seems that they’re only available in Paris, but ...

Reading glasses. Yup, like clockwork, I found it difficult to read some of the fine print on the kids’ toy manuals once I turned 40. I have been meaning to buy a pair but didn’t want to go the drugstore/grandma route, nor spend a fortune buying some designer brand (like $200 reading glasses at Alain ...

Smallable is one of those blogs that, depending on your personality, you’ll either be completely inspired, or you’ll be very irritated. Looking at beautiful kids fashion is one of those things where unless you are handy with a sewing machine, or haven’t been affected by the economy…well, it can be really annoying. But, because this ...
