High End Baby Bassinets

Bassinets are the ultimate status symbol. They are not just cribs. They are highly decorated presentation spaces for your babies that nowadays go for thousands of dollars. They can be had for a pretty penny in just the right kind of designer theme.

For instance the Greta and Garbo bassinet is a forties style bassinet with a big ruffled hood and ruffled skirt that is made entirely out of a purple/pink draped silk shantung that is specially imported from Asia. An enormous perfect bow is placed at either side of the bassinet. The bassinet is also line with pillows in pink, chocolate and blue shantung silk that are also wrapped up in a big pink bow. It's a steal at about $850. The Lulu Bridge Cambridge Bassinet is a similar item in a baby aspirin type pink satin with two big bows at the side.

Equally luxurious is the Lulla Smith Vineyard in Swiss Batiste Bassinet which is made out of cotton satin and ringed with bows. It comes in snow white, pink and buttercup yellow. If you want a vintage look try the Lulla Smith Angel Bassinet which is made from many yards of mint green satin and has a big bow in a color that is an antique pink on it's prow.

One of the most luxurious bassinets in the world is the handcrafted wooden wicker bassinet by Lulla Smith that is is dressed with pure Dupioni silk and adorned with a whimsical overskirt laden with scalloped silk blossoms attached at their centers to sheer ivory silk organza and finished with an opulent oversized front bow in Dupioni Silk Blush. Silk blush is an almost lingerie flesh pink color and it is very retro looking. This beautiful bassinet will cost you about two thousand dollars once you have paid taxes on it so it really is a true luxury item for something you may likely only use for a couple of months at best.

If something that is a tuxedo style is more you style Lulla Smith also makes a thousand dollar bassinet that is made out of Duponi silk that is quite plain. This bassinet for the boy baby in your life is all white with a stripe in black at the base and two smaller stripes around the rim of the cradle. This high end baby bassinet is perfect for the little boy that is born into quite a rich family and wants to present him as a heir to the rest of the family as heir to the Dynasty!

Should Your Little Girl Wear High Heel Shoes Like Suri Cruise?

There has been trends among celebrities for them to allow their little girls to wear high heel shoes. The biggest star of this sort of style is little Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise, who struts around in gold lame two inch heels. She also has a silver beaded pair of two inch mules that she has been seen wearing in several photos. Is this something you should let your daughter do as well?

It's actually pretty hard to find a shoe with a high heel of any kind for a girl six years or younger. Nina makes a glossy pair of high patent leather boots with pointy toes for toddlers. Some of the cowboy boots made for toddlers also have quite a high heel. A company called Mootsie's is making little plastic and lame dress shoes for toddlers with a wide but quite high squared off court heel.

Believe it or not you can buy high heels for babies to wear. A company named Heelarious makes soft crib shoes that have a soft high heel and that are bright red. They have a cheetah pattern lining. These look like cartoon high shoes and the good news is that they are not going to hurt an innocent child's back. You can also get them in a leopard print, pink vinyl, black vinyl (to look like patent leather.)

If you don't want your child to wear high heel shoes but you want to gratify her fascination with them you can always get her a little gold or silver charm that looks like a high-heel. A lot of jewelry companies are also making high heels that are made out of ceramic. A company made TaiToolli makes a high heel shoe charm on a necklace that looks like fake pave diamonds.

You can also buy glycerin soap in the shape of sexy high heels. Peppermint pink Cinderella shoe soap is available at Etsy which makes a lot of fun stuff for little girls and older women who are young at heart.

Little Posh Bebe is onto the trend and makes a little T-Shirt featuring a Zebra-striped pump with a real pink ribbon on it. The T-Shirt is paired with a set of Zebra striped flat shoes with pink velvet ribbons and an inside pink lining. This way your little girl can have the style without risking injuring her back as celebrity kid Suri Cruise is by wearing high heels while her spine is still developing.
