Loving our new prints...

So thrilled to have replenished BabyHipWear's inventory this past week... some super cute prints are now kickin' it on the website. Monkey Around, Keep On Truckin', Ms. Ladybug, Madame Butterfly, have made their debut this past week. All are designed to make shopping for the 'hip' kids fun. That is what it is all about. Being a parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle etc. of a 'hip' kid is stressful enough so we always look to lighten the load just a little bit.

On another note, I am eagerly (translation-anxiously) awaiting a mockup for the new BabyHipWear site. "Bobbie can you hear me?" I have a March 10th deadline otherwise we go dark.

NOT hip in any way, shape or form... stay tuned...

CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANGES!

MIA is what I have been since the decision (and not so hard decision I might add) has been made to completely overhaul the BabyHipWear site. The designer, Bobbie, at The Nifty Studio has been feverishly working to meet our March 10th deadline. The new site will be much more user friendly and will include new features such as how to coordinate the 'hip' outfits and *gasp* store access from the home page!! The fact that the previous site builder I worked with when I launched the company did not have that feature still baffles me to this date... so stay tuned. Good things a'comin'!

International Baby, International!

Is it crazy to have guilt about a blog?? Well, I do. Being the overachiever that I am, I cannot help but feel guilty with each passing day that I am not updating what is going on with all things BabyHipWear. First, foremost and of utmost excitement is we just added a 6th country to our sales total. Ireland has now joined the BabyHipWear community. Thus far, BabyHipWear has received orders from Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, the UK and the good ol' USA (obviously). Ireland was what I'd call a "personal" goal in that I married an Irishman and 90% of his family still resides there. Now if a 'hip' Italian would buy (my country), I would be one happy paisan!

Since we have been selling out of so many sizes, we are adding a boatload of new fabrics come end of February. I am very excited for some, including Madame Butterfly, Monkey Around and Ms. Ladybug.

For now, ciao! (hey, I have to send the good vibes out there- you get back what you put out so c'mon Italy!)

The Squeaky Wheels get the grease...

There truly is power in numbers.

After what I imagine to be much pressure regarding the CPSIA law, the members of the Consumer Products Safety Act voted unanimously to suspend the law for 1 year while they review 4 proposed rules which will somewhat redefine what the initial law stated. I translate this to mean more 'make-sense', relevant rules on lead testing. I shudder to think of what would have happened if this stay of the law wasn't granted, but you know what? It was. Time to move on and keep on truckin'... speaking of which...

The BabyHipWear frenzy continues as we continue to sell-out of existing fabrics and are looking forward to replenishing with our Fab Feb Fabrics all launching on the site on February 14th! Keep on Truckin', Madame Butterfly, Monkey Around and Very Violet are a few of the new Fab Feb Fabrics to be debuting this month. We've already started taking pre-orders for those 'hip' folks that just can't wait!

Thanks for your support of BabyHipWear and to all those that signed the petition to amend this law that would have crushed our company. All we want to do is provide 'hip' clothing for your 'hip' kid and now, we will continue with pride.
