Naomi Watts and her son, Alexander Pete, were out and about in Manhattan Wednesday. Alexander celebrated his first birthday on July 26. We love his wooden pull toy!

Land of Nod has a good selection of wooden toys. We love how wooden toys blend in with home decor much easier than bright plastic! They are timeless, and often last for years. These cat and chicken baby stackers are $24.95. And the Rock the Horse ride-on pony is $69. Both from Land of Nod.

This winter, Rebecca Romijn,35 and Jerry O’Connell,34 are expecting twins!

We think this hip couple will dress their babies in fun clothes, like these rockin’ nursery rhyme onesies. $35 each at cribrockcouture. Angelina Jolie and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are fans.

Remember these  first images of Suri Cruise? While they could have earned millions from OK Magazine or People, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes held out for the prestige of Vanity Fair to showcase their first family photos. TomKat’s little TomKitten is so cute.

I love a timeless white dress on a baby girl. I found a similar frock by Feltman Brothers at bestdressedchild for $62.

See Tom with his girls after the jump… Read the rest of this entry »

Claudia Schiffer: Just Like Us

One of my favorite design blogs, {this is glamorous}, introduced me to a London-based website for the decoratti. This affirms that despite how hard we all try, we never truly leave high school. Here are my results:

Home-Coming Queen

Nothing, budgets included, stops you from putting your all into creating your dream home. Your look is quintessentially feminine: cool, pretty colors; layered patterns and textures; and flawless attention to every detail.  

The site says Claudia Schiffer, 37, and I share the same style. (Wow! We are practically twins!) In case you were wondering, she still holds the world record for appearing on the most magazine covers. She has two children, Caspar, 4 and Clementine, 2. They all posed for Vanity Fair last June.

Here is how I see that translating into baby decor. Restoration Hardware has a sweet new baby line. I love it, but I think it is too cookie-cutter without a personal touch.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s Vision

The recent birth of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, reminds me of this W Magazine photo shoot in July 2005.

This concept was created by Brad and photographer Steven Klein, during the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Based on a picture-perfect suburban family with dark secrets, it is a thought-provoking look at the stereotypical American family; a mold the couple always refused to fill. Instead, the couple paved their own path.

Brad, of course, was still married to Jennifer Anniston during this shoot. Angie claims the two became “close friends” on-set. Brad later adopted Jolie’s son Maddox, whom she adopted from Cambodia. Together, they adopted Zahara and Pax, and conceived Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne. After the jump, view baby furniture that would fit in perfectly with this W photo shoot….

White on White Baby Nursery

I recently found this nursery photo on a design blog, and fell in love!

It is pure, dreamy and chic all at the same time.
Maybe this baby actually sleeps in the master, because I know not a person who could keep this immaculate for long. It is definitely my new fantasy nursery!

Petit Tresor in West Hollywood has some of my favorite white cribs.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s nursery for twins Emme and Max (below) has a similar vibe. Next week, we will have all the details on their incredible baby suite, and tips on how to recreate the same look for less!

Jennifer Garner’s Baby Bump

UsWeekly reports that Jennifer Garner, 36, and husband Ben Affleck, 35, are expecting their second baby. We can see a baby bump in this picture for sure!

Daughter Violet, 2, is so cute; but her baby style is pretty basic. We think Jen and Ben should add a little pizazz to baby number two’s look. Because the family loves outdoor activities, we chose bright, sporty gear. The Bugaboo Bee is sleek and durable. Sold at Saks for $549.

These circles in square blankets from Land of Nod, $29, are cheerful and cozy!

Matthew McConaughey and Camila Debut Levi

Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves pose for OK Magazine with baby Levi Alves McConaughey.

They look fabulous. But A couple of things come to mind.

1. Does Matthew look a little scared/uncomfortable to you?
2. Is anyone else shocked he took the OK Magazine payout and did this cover shoot? Perhaps he is donating the money to charity, or saving it for Levi.

One minute, he is running shirtless on the beach, doing some sit-up maneuver on a picnic bench; and the next he is posing for the cover of a celeb magazine with his insta-family. We truly do wish them all the best!

And we cannot wait for Matthew to be seen carrying little Levi in this Gucci sling!

Available at Saks for $850.

One tell-all book was not enough. Tori Spelling has more to say, and she is going to make sure we hear it! (And not just the part about the new 90210 series.)

The mother of two says sTori Telling, a memoir about growing up as the daughter of Hollywood-legend Aaron Spelling, was therapeutic. Her next book, Mommywood, will be all about being a mother, wife, and sometimes-estranged daughter to Candy Speling. Read the rest of this entry »
