A List Baby | AListBaby.Net|From designer nurseries to boy toddler clothes and crib combo sets, we help you and your baby live your most fabulous life.

One of the most exciting trends in nursery decor is the selection of available baby bedding. Not long ago, choices were limited to little duckies and cows jumping over the moon. Hey, there is nothing wrong with a little barnyard fun, but we are positively giddy over the growing Serena and Lily collection.   

The luxe collections are modern yet whimsical. The vibe is stylish, yet still baby. One of my favorite parts of the line is that each design has a name and a description of the theme. I can read each description, and envision the future ”mini-me” running around. For example, when my friend Courtney has a baby girl, the “Greta” style should be her bedding:

Greta is a stunner. She’s a classic beauty with the taste, style and wit of a 1940′s film star. Greta’s driven, too. She’ll get what she wants out of life because she’s not afraid to work for it.

Gwen and Gavin Rossdale celebrate the birth of their second son, Zuma! He joins big brother Kingston. Watch out, if they are as good-looking as their father—these two little guys will be all sorts of trouble! (Angelina and Brad may want to keep an eye on Shiloh and Vivienne.)

We can really see this ducduc Austin crib in little Zuma’s room. We found it at this great modern children’s store, shopgenes. Photo of Gavin and Gwen courtesy of People.

Every generation has their iconic toys. The Fisher-Price Chatter Phone comes to mind from my baby days…do you recall a favorite baby toy?

While I also adore the look of sleek, modern playthings, there is a place in my heart for the retro feel of these four basic toys. They each come in many styles and designs….yet their look is always timeless. These selections are all from Land of Nod.  

More information on each of these toys, after the jump…..

We love that baby gear is looking less and less like…well…baby gear!

Kate Spade is one of many designers that is offering baby items with mainstream style. The company’s web site says their new take on the classic noel bag lends mommy-hood a well deserved air of sophistication. The Noel Henry Baby Bag, $465, could pass for a work tote any day. The interior is accented with purple, and it also comes with a sleek purple changing pad.

And of course, the black and white bag coordinates well with this bold and bright Biarritz Stroller, $300. Named for a French town eleven miles from the border of Spain, the stroller is begging for a walk along the cobblestone streets of Europe, and a leisurely stop at a sidewalk café.

We are thrilled to announce a fabulous prize from Ally Zabba this morning!

Babies love cozy blankies, with luxurious satin trim to brush against their cheeks. And moms covet these stylish colors and patterns!  They are all machine washable. After more than a year of waiting…the popular pastel dot and chocolate dot pattern is also back in stock this week. More after the jump….
