I loved Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous when I was a little girl. I can hear the theme song in my head right now, and the voiceover saying “I’m Robin Leach” in his very emphasized British accent. Since the show aired late-night, I would tip-toe out of my room and hide behind the sofa to catch a glimpse of the world’s most extravagent yachts, homes and ’holiday’ destinations. I kid you not, I feel the same rush of adrenaline today when I view the decadent selections at Posh Tot

Check out this luxe rose bassinet with linens, $1040! Granted, this is a pricey bassinet, but compared to a $1.4 million ’holiday’, for instance, this is an affordable luxury. And look at this glamorous round crib!

When a new baby is born, a mother’s excitement is contagious. Mailed baby announcements are still the most traditional and elegant way to share your news with the world! Today, our guest blogger, April from Blue Sky Designs Blog, shares some of her favorite selections of baby stationary and announcements!

Announce your newborn in style.
Luxury defined: The look and feel of a letterpress announcement on a soft cotton
paper. Letterpress is one of the oldest styles of printing and features crisp lines and
gorgeous patterns and graphics. While the cost of the announcements may be a little
hard to swallow, the first impression of a letterpress baby announcement gives is
(almost) as irreplaceable as your newborn.

Thistleberry Press

Announce your newborn “greenly”.
Give your little bundle of joy an eco friendly start to life. These announcements are
better for the environment and easier on your wallet too. All components of the
card, exterior cards, interior cards, and envelopes are made with the 100% recycled
fibers and use no trees throughout the manufacturing process.

The Glamour of Canopy Cribs

I have a serious infatuation with canopy cribs. This does not, however, translate into adult beds. Rather, I equate a baby canopy crib with an oppulance we can afford our little angels. We all have hopes and dreams for the newborns in our lives. Certainly, we all know that “giving” a child the moon is not in his or her best interest. But for me, a white canopy crib is paying tribute to baby’s innocence and purity. Life gets hard soon enough. Babyhood is time to pamper infants….and indulge in some of our favorite luxury buys, as well!  One of my favorites is from Restoration Hardware baby & child, below. The white sutton canopy crib is $999.    

Bratt Decor also has an amazing venetian white wrought iron crib for $966 that would look excellent in a Hollywood-glamour type nursery. (The company offers several additional options for finishes, including gold.) You can make this look modern with bold bedding—or keep it traditional with pastels and a ruffled skirt. I could see this being a family heirloom crib, and Bratt Decor has an excellent reputation for quality. You may recall, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony also chose Bratt Decor cribs for their twins.
