Christmas is so close we're just about tripping over it, feeling jolly, merry and possibly gung-ho over-the-top enough to dress up smiley, rosy-cheeked babies and toddlers in every manner of Santa suits, hats, pointy Elf shoes, Snowman costumes .... and, dare I mention those Gingerbread Man buntings?
Not that making baby look like a chubby Candy Cane isn't super photo-op cute, but I prefer to keep it simple - letting my Willtini's personality shine through, preferably with a bit of sass thrown in for good measure, like some extra sprinkles on a sugar cookie.
And this year, a good way to do that is with tastefully irreverent tees from Angelic Genius. Although they always emphasize the child over the fashion statement, the Parisian designer and American team behing AG's edgy designs and cheeky witticisms offer parents a little something different that sets babies and toddlers - from newborns to two-year-old tots - apart from the crowd, while saying, hey, like mama like son, or like daddy like daughter.
Cosmotot's pick is the limited Holiday edition "Let Love Rule, It's Cool" tee (shown at top left) that tells folks that Jesus is totally Willby's homeboy.
Other charmingly mischievous options come from AG's Box Office and Logo lines, like "Il Bambino - I'm gonna make you a cute face you can't refuse." (Shown at right ... Ain't that the truth, too), and the adorable Scrabble tee (shown at bottom left), that lets
everyone know that "fashionable" is the word. Look for the matching pants that spell out "genius" on the tookis to complete the look.
