Totally Coordinated Baby

I first met Janille Hudson, of Boosker Babies, at the LA Textile show. She was elbow deep in the fabric at Michael Miller, another perennial favorite of mine.

Forgive me, but when I hear "burps and bibs" I don't always get excited. Too many people out there, selling bizarrely coordinated, poorly sewn stuff. You've seen those random ebay listings for "boutique style" minkee & terry cloth bibs mated with a crooked clown blanket? For the love of all that is fashionable, Why?! Someone please explain! It's child fashion abuse.

To make matters worse, when you finally find attractive burps and bibs, you cannot find a blanket that is the same. No consistency. This makes me nutso. I'm obsessively matchy match when it comes to my baby and kid gear. Even more so when buying items for a gift.

So cut to a few days later when I run into Janille at a celeb event and get a first hand look at her wares. Simple and well coordinated (consistent) fabric choices, and good sturdy stitchery have earned her burps, bibs and blankets the right to be called a collection. Celeb Mommies like Tia Carrere and Shanna Moakler loved her stuff. And I was actually a little excited about burps and bibs. Possibly a first for me!

Boosker's offerings include a hearty menu of fabric choices for your burps, bibs, blankies and my personal fave - "Bum Buddies" which work as a changing pad or travel "wooby", and tie up in a neat little bundle with a coordinated grosgrain ribbon. My favorite print is the retro dot in chocolate and pastels. And mention MWS at checkout and you will get a free onesie just like the ones handed out in a recent Hollywood Swag Bag.
