Kiddie Couture/Stella McCartney for Baby Gap

Ever since the birth of my adorable neice Nylah 5 months ago, I've not been able to stop myself from wandering over to the baby clothing section. (She's my first niece. Yaay!!) I'm like Pookie in New Jack City, "It be calling me!!" To say that kid's clothing has come a long way since I was a tot is a HUGE understatement. I distinctly remember baby basics like Garanimals, and my favorite Osh Kosh B' Gosh. Well Osh Kosh is thankfully still around, but there is sooo much variety. Seriously, you don't want to go overboard on expensive clothes that babies can only wear for five minutes, but for those who love fashion, it can be hard to resist. Luckily for me (the currently financially challenged) Target, Carson Pirie Scott, and Kohl's offers loads of affordable finds. And yes, I did splurge once at Janie and Jack for a fabulous little pink tweed pageboy hat. I know. I know. I had to.

Well, now designer Stella McCartney is launching her kid's collection for GAP, which hits select stores on Nov. 2 in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., France and Japan. The collection is geared for newborns - kids 12 years old, and will feature lots of natural fibers to make the kiddies more comfortable. The line will be a mix of practical wears like wool peacoats and organic cotton jeans, and wee versions of her adult ready-to-wear collection. The kids in Stella McCartney ready-to-wear? Watch out, world! On a personal note, I hope she keeps it age appropriate. I think 5 years olds should look like little kids, not mini versions of their mothers. I'm just saying.

Anyhoo, prices range from $14 for wool tights to $128 for a finely detailed military jacket.

(I must interject again, but is it me, or is $14 for kiddie tights a bit on the expensive side? Once again, I'm just saying).

Check out Stella McCartney for Gap, coming soon.
