Playtime NY exhibits some of the best American and International children’s clothes collections, and Little Name Design really stood out! Each product is adorable and functional- and the fun catch- they’re all educational. We loved these “Little Scarves,” and had one of our kids try out one of the 100% silk garments with a sitter.

It was the perfect accessory to keep her curly hair pulled back while playing water games. The lil’ model loved discovering that once unfolded, the scarf became a checkers board! Our sitter had a blast teaching her how to play checkers on that sunny day. Check out the website to discover some of Alexis’ other products, like the “Little Laces” that help kids learn the difference between left and right, or the too-cute wallpaper that teaches your lil’ ones how to say “rabbit” in 7 different languages. You and your lil’ ones will love the whimsically educational aspects of all the Little Name products!

-Little Name was independently created by designer alexis g. mcvicker, who designs for the child in all of us. she has resided in nyc, philadelphia, portland oregon and currently lives in new jersey.

How can busy moms have time to run errands, pick up the kids, do laundry, go to work, and have time to put together a cute outfit? With everything else going on, looking good while running around is probably the last thing on any busy mom’s mind. But, LLD is all about making your life easier, so we asked for some easy style tips for the winter weather from fashion consultant Anne Riley and here’s what she suggested for on-the-go, busy moms!
  • Throw denim on denim (I know, so 80′s yet so stylish). Adorn with a scarf or necklace. Any boot, flat shoe, or not-so-dressy wedge will work.
  • Skirts seem like a lot of work, but really are not so tough. Find any pencil or shorter skirt in in closet, throw on tights (easy to just pick the color with what color your boots are), and pick a monochromatic sweater or add a little zest of color!
  • Easy breezy with skinny jeans (fancy ones with leather or plain) and big, cozy sweater.  The faux fur vest simply adds a little spice.
  • Find a funky pant (they actually make dressing fun because you don’t have to try hard, but still look quite jazzy). Pair with a sweater and/or a tee and jean jacket. Throw on heels for a date night or riding boots while running around with the kids.
  • Flannel shirts!!! So comfortable, cozy, and totally in style. Pair it with a torn or dark jean, throw on a cute boot or shoe and voila – instant chic mom.
Simple, fashionable, and easy! Even with the hectic life of an on-the-go mom, there’s always time for looking good, and with these simple tips it’s even easier!

Stephanie believes in empowering moms for all their hard work, which is why she loved the idea of a mom fashion show at fashion week! In collaboration with The Moms, Mom-entum, Big Fuel and Getting Gorgeous, Stephanie was vital in the development of “Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show”. Why not bring couture to moms everywhere! The event featured over 20 moms wearing designer and non-designer clothing friendly for all shapes and sizes. Here’s a picture from MSNBC of the moms workin’ it!
