Style Concierge!

I was recently asked about our style concierge service at Babesta-- Just to get it out there for anyone who hasn't used this, we spend every day immersed in baby style (clothes, decor, services), and are happy to pass along what we know. Need gift suggestions? You tell us the personal style of the recipeint and your budget and we will come up with something fantastic! Need help --you're a single uncle looking for a showstopper for your niece?? We'll direct you to items of interest (we've got lots of stuff!) and guide you through the sometimes hard to figure out world of baby clothes sizing. [Rule of thumb, buy a size bigger].

Want to get that celebrity baby look? We’ll show you the combinations that have turned heads for little Shiloh, Kingston, Apple and more at any pricepoint.

Our extensive inventory of products from cool and unique designers from across the country (not all are available on line), combined with advice on what to choose to mix and match (even pulling from your own wardrobe), will guarantee that your little one will be the trendiest tot on the block.

We've also recommended stylish gifts for baby showers and birthdays, will field questions about trends, new brands and more. We will even tell you what we know about other products that we don't carry -- as we regularly recommend the coolest gliders, playtables and cribs to style concious moms -- with their varying degrees of urgency in mind (I don't mind waiting/I need it in 2 weeks, I need it in 4 weeks, I'm giving birth tomorrow and NEED IT NOW!)!

Ask us about anything that pertains to the life of a stylish baby. If we don't know, we'll find someone who does. We have not been defeated yet.

Free for the asking.

Plushies Delight

New York parks are seeing the influx of stuffed animal bottle covers in shades of yellow duck, green turtle/frog and purple, you guessed it, dinosaur. (Not of the Barney variety). If it looks like a gaggle of kids are snogging their stuffed animals, don't be alarmed. They're bottoms up with their bottle of milk snugly tucked within the newest craze of the newbie set: bottle huggers. Part BFF and part easy-to-hold insulator for any size bottle or sippy cup, they come in a variety of animals and are all, of course, machine washable. $10.
