Photo courtesy of Dom Miguel Photography I wish I had this when I had my babies. And not just to serve my vanity but also to make the whole hospital experience more comfortable for my first daughter. She was afraid of the hospital gown when she came to see me and wouldn't let me hold her until I changed. But as far as vanity goes, it is absolutely essential. I mean, is there a time in your life when you felt more unglamorous? Pull your hair back, put on some lip gloss, slip on this gown and you might look good enough to flirt with the cute interns =) Well, that's probably the last thing on your mind but at least you are trying to maintain some semblance of composure. The name "Dar a Luz" means to give birth in Spanish. This comes in this navy and also in pink, at Daniela Corte for $98.

It doesn't take much to get me to brandish my credit card when it comes to baby shoes. I mean, anything this little is going to be cute right? Plus baby feet are my most favorite things in the world! And then they grow up and become the kind of feet my husband has. Yeah, pretty much the MOST un-cute thing in the world. Well, Dior has one upped the obsessing baby shoe market with these pink ballerina slippers! You really can't top this and the only reason I am resisting is because both my daughters have grown out of the available sizes (infants only). And if you think the $175 price tag is stopping anyone, it's not. These are sold out everywhere! But you can check them out at eluxury who carries Baby Dior. They would have been the perfect baby gift for my many friends having babies right now!!

Whether you believe in pacifiers or not, one thing is certain, you must stay away from this thing! I am all about totally over the top fabulous things for your tots but being tasteful is always in order. How embarrassing would it be when this emerges from your bag and into your kid's mouth? If I was a bystander I would seriously have a hard time not staring. And I sincerely doubt Princess Diana would approve of this so to use her name adds another level of bad taste. At Barneys for $138.

Is your tot snob also a tech snob? In no time he/she will be a tech whiz hooking up your wifi and hacking into your bank account (ack!). Keep them cuddly for the time being with this techie iPod speaker which is also a plush doll is super cute and fun. There are tiny speakers tucked inside a zipper with a velcro pocket for the iPod. You want to get a nano or something small like that so it won't fall out of that kangaroo pocket (in the back). I played with it and tested it out at a family BBQ. The consensus is that this is totally cool and cute but I have family in the music business so they had issues with the low fidelity of the speakers. Hello, this is for a little kid, you don't exactly want to blow their ear drums with booming concert speakers. I am not sure how it works but the speakers do not need batteries. This is totally great for the road, something to cuddle with and keep them entertained. At the Sigikid site for $112.
