Junebug

When it comes to trendy dressing, there are so many options for your tots today. But sometimes styling the littlest fashionista can get to be a bit much. That's when you want to slow down the fast train to having them always decked out in the latest look, and dress your child like, well, a child.

June Bee Baby specializes in classic, knit-with-love sweaters, the kind that a grandmother would make. Only instead of being crafted by grandmas, these are handmade by local artisans in Istanbul, using high-quality Turkish cotton yarns in rich colors. Designs are whimsical and classic; most styles feature hand crocheted decorations like bears, flowers, sailboats, and bunnies. The cardigans button or zip, and some have hoods. There's even a poncho style with hand crocheted daisies. All are soft and cozy, can be dressed up or down, and are hand-me-down worthy.

Keep in mind they'll be plenty of time for ironic T-shirts, designer jeans and cropped shirts in loud colors when they're tweens, but the era of sweet strawberry pockets passes quickly.
