Coco's Closet Auction: Persnickity Harvest Dress 12-18 mo


Coco and Andy's first Christmas: daughter was 2 months old and father's gift was size 12-18 months.  Daddy promised to give it to her again next Christmas.

Unfortunately, while Lady Coco is only 11 months old, she is above average squishy through the midsection.  After only two wears, mother can no longer bear the tears induced by its rather technical removal.





Retail Value: approx $55
Size: XS 12-18 months
100% Cotton Excluding Trim
Machine wash cold, hang dry

Coco's Closet


Following is a collection of pre-adored items from my daughter's closet.  While I am tempted to hold on to every carefully selected frock, smelling them, remembering when my daughter was a diminutive 5 lbs 7 oz, I would love even more for a fashion loving mother and daughter to give them a new life of memories.

Coco's Closet: May Crimson Hair Clips Giveaway


Flip back through your cerebral fashion scrapbook to Spring 2010: footwear was nude, nautical emerged in coral and cerulean, and florals flourished: even blooming atop newborn hair-naked heads.  Our March giveaway featured headband accessories for the bald baby.  For Fall, we transition to mad hatter plaids, peep toe booties, and warm toned hair clips for cherubs cultivating curling coifs.  

As the formerly bald Coco crawls to celebrate her first anniversary, her full adornment of curling locks can get disorderly, sprucing solution: hand crafted hair clips from May Crimson.



May Crimson offers endless variety for the mini mane. Said clips are designed to secure baby's delicate chicken fluff. And knowing that our wee fashionista will extract her accessories for palatable experimentation, natural materials like felted wool offer neural pacifism.  Each piece exhibits English bred Jae's European artistry. (Did I mention they come by International Post!  Just imagine receiving a foreign stamped package of crinkly craft paper.) Below are a collection of Coco's favorites:
