Easter Dress Up



I get a chance to reminisce as spring lovingly unfolds the newness of life this time of year. I remind myself of when I was a young girl. My mom made me certain every spring that I had a new dress for Easter Sunday, complete with ruffly petticoat, lacey socks, white patent shoes & purse – and of course – white shortie gloves. I can’t help it… I’m truly a sucker for Easter – probably because it was always such a marvelous time for family, Easter egg hunts & the newness of life! Thank goodness! I still can enjoy this marvelous season vicariously through our designs at Haute Baby. Each October, while the rest of the world is lulled into fall’s parade of golden hues, we’re busily concocting pastel confections for spring’s wake up call. This year our colors are fabulous: peachy pink taffeta, raspberry & tangerine tulle, & minty damask floral. Sound delicious, right? There’s even a crisp white eyelet for anyone’s more traditional palette.
I’d love to hear about your Easter plans. Do you still do the Easter dress up? Whether you do or not, make this season for family & enjoy your own rite of spring.

Spring is Stunning at Haute Baby... As Always!


It’s a busy, busy time at Haute Baby this time of year. Spring has sprung, and our shelves & racks are bursting with color! Shipping for the new season begins in a matter of days, and stores are eagerly awaiting the arrival of our newest & brightest spring looks! Haute Baby & Purrfect—our sister brand for older girls—make sure that your child will be the “ultimate in sweet chic” in any silhouette you choose. In this post I will give you a sneak peak at our outstanding spring collections. It’s impossible to pick just one. I’m completely convinced you’ll want them all!

White eyelet & soft blush pink create Innocence, Haute Baby’s newest spring arrival for little girls.. Whether for baby or older she will be adorned with ruffles & pink petals, making every style special & oh so girly.


Next, designed for the stylish little miss, the Savannah Spring collection features dainty peach flowers embroidered on a delicate peach mesh. Each silhouette boasts a beautiful pearl buckle bow formed of matching peach taffeta.


Mixing two fun bright colors, the April Bloom collection is our most elegant of the season. Coral pink beaded sequins create the delicate bodice of each silhouette. Yards of coral pink taffeta & tulle create a most enchanting look that will capture any little girl’s heart.


There’s certain to be a flurry of excitement this spring with Haute Baby’s new Flitter Flutter collection. A sure sign of spring’s arrival, the butterfly is sweetly designed with the young fashionista in mind. Bright bold graphics are paired with shades of teal, daffodil & aqua to give each silhouette a splash of color.

 Jenna Louise follows, pairing the sweetest candy pink damask with a haute cheetah print to create a lot of excitement. Each style is oh so chic— from her take me home ensemble to her first tutu set.


Truly a breath of spring, Bella Bouquet captures the essence of the season. Colors are just like the air, warm and inviting in shades of soft grass, light pink, iris & jonquil. A delicate white lace trims every piece of the bouquet, and the gown boasts of a bell sleeve for added sweetness.


We decided that this next collection had to be named Charlotte Rose, an old-fashioned name for our nostalgic vintage-look print. Bright summer roses remind us of a fancy tea table from days gone by. Cheery red polka dots bring the whole look back to present day with lots of ruffles for added fun.


Glorious, vibrant color makes Honey Child one on my favorites! A tropical palette of hot pink, honeydew & tangerine is combined with a bold hibiscus print. The result is visual excitement in any silhouette!


Our Garden Party collection is prettier than any summer garden I’ve seen! Sunny pink & yellow flowers are splashed on a royal blue pebble dot. A Chinese lantern print & happy, yellow stripes make me want to run barefoot in the grass!


Haute, haute fun in the sun is the look of our final girl’s group, Lazy Dazy. A tropical orange & yellow floral is paired with sunny yellow stripes for each silhouette. Guaranteed to make your little girl stand out in any crowd!



That takes care of the girls…now on to the guys. FYI: I may have saved the best for last! Cool, sea foam stripes make the coolest back drop for our Surf’s Up collection. All machine-appliqued in the USA, our surfboard & “woodie” feature an eye-catching tangerine stripe that would make any surfer dude proud.
Next, playful navy stripes are paired with lime baby rib knit to give our Roarin’ Cute little lion a happy home. The baby boy gown features short sleeves for hot summer days. Pair it with the flap cap & blanket for the perfect take-me-home. And check out the cute little tail on our romper’s back side!
Our next adorable collection guarantees a Home Run every time! Bold, crisp blue stripes set the scene for the cap, bat & crochet baseball appliqué. The baby romper looks extremely sporty & snaps easily making diaper changes a breeze. No foul balls here…only home runs!
Our final collection finds a happy little Chug A Lug Tug boat striking a playful pose. The unexpected background of tangerine & ivory stripes adds visual excitement to each style. The gown, romper and clam digger set are enhanced by sea blue knit sleeves & bright yellow stitching. Clam diggers can be worn as pants or rolled up & buttoned on the sides for warm summer days.

I hope you’ve found this blog fun & informative. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words…so head to your nearest boutique to see the real thing for spring! Thanks for reading, & hope you’ll share.

Baby and kids’ fall fashions - Fall is always Haute at Haute Baby

Baby and kids’ fashion has always been mimicking grown-up fashion trends. This year in vogue is retro style and bold prints. Although natural hues like gray and brown are in fashion this fall, bright shades never go out of kids’ fashion. Magenta and cyan are the colors to experiment with this season. Large appliqués and embroidery, bright prints, stripes and polka dots is what makes this fall season fashion unique in its own way. Don’t forget about enormous accent flowers, buttons, fringe and lacing for her. For him, various studs, chains, and buttons will do it. Plus military style never goes out of his style.
Most importantly, baby & kids’ clothes have to be comfortable and easy to put on. No too tight multiple layer looks or complex clasps. Baby and kids’ clothing designer Haute Baby, with their brand names Haute Baby and Purrfect, has all those to offer this season.

Haute Baby is a tremendous success story offering traditional styling with a delightfully edgy twist. Seasonal collections, Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter, present fashion-forward looks for newborn boys & girls through girl size 10. Plus quality never goes out of fashion, so every Haute Baby silhouette is designed and sewn in the United States to ensure absolute perfection.
