We’re not sure why it took Vera Bradley so long to debut a kids collection, but we’re glad they did.

It turns out their cheery floral prints are perfect for a line of baby girl clothing and accessories (booties, hooded towels, dresses and more!) especially when decked out in the company’s new signature pink and orange Lilli Bell pattern (left).

But what we love most about the 30-year-old brand’s new offerings is their heirloom-worthy feel. Each piece, including the cozy receiving blanket ($36) and stuffed bunny ($19), is special enough to be handed down for generations.

Actually, we’ve already decided what we’re giving as our next baby gift — the 3 piece layette set ($60), which includes a mini rattle.

The last time we saw Barbie, she was turning 53.

Well now it looks like the iconic doll has gotten a chic makeover courtesy of Coach that would make any real-life fashionista green with envy. Seriously, check out her outfit!

Not only is she now a rich brunette, but she also sports mini versions of the brand’s Tattersall trench, red leather duffle bag, oversize sunglasses and colorblock Tristan heels that were made with the same craftsmanship as the company’s other accessories.

Coach Barbie‘s ($95) ensemble also includes a green and black striped knit top and red ultra-suede skirt with actual turn-lock closures. We sure do hope they plan on offering her pieces in our size soon.

To pedal or not to pedal — that’s the question on every parent’s mind when it comes to teaching little kids how to ride a bike.

While balance bikes have long been hitting the streets in Europe, they’re still just gaining recognition in the U.S.

But don’t think they’re only a fad. Pedal-less bikes actually provide many important physical, developmental, and emotional benefits for tykes learning to ride.
