new Jonathan Adler melamine plates, bowls & trays

I am really digging the pattern and delftware-esque blue on the just released Jonathan Adler melamine dinnerware. The birds, flowers, fish and bunnies are a perfect spring motif! Pictured above is the 11" dinner plate which retails for $12. Also available are smaller plates, bowls and a tray which range from $10 to $12 each. These also come in a lime green with white print, but I don't really find that color combination too impressive. Also, I think it would be awesome if these came in a ceramic version as well!

Paul Smith Bunny

I'm on the Paul Smith mailing list and a few days ago I received an email regarding a promo Paul Smith was having... purchase a bottle of the new Paul Smith fragrance and receive a free Paul Smith bunny! Unfortunately, the promo was for the first 20 customers only & (also very unfortunately) the bunny does not seem to be available for purchase on their website. But I thought this little guy was too cute not to share. I wish they would put these up for sale, I love the handmade/vintage look paired with the iconic Paul Smith stripes.

fifi lapin x lesportsac

Etsy favorite Fifi Lapin has designed a collection of bags for Lesportsac's "Artist In Residence" series. Prices range from $18 nylon lunch sacks to $165 luggage bags in three adorable prints: Fifi in the Sky, Dress Up and Sweethearts which are pictured above. The price may seem a little hefty, but Lesportsac bags are super durable and last a lifetime. They are also washable which is a HUGE plus!

My favorite piece from the collection is the Tag and Go satchel in the Sweetheart print (pictured below), love the how the grey and yellow strap perfectly complements the baby blue of the bag.

new Hello Kitty baby items

Oh my, how cuuuuuuute is this Hello Kitty bib? And if you think that's cute, check out this musical Hello Kitty pull toy...... AHHHHHHHH the little teddy bear and the duck! AHHHHHHH I think I might die from all the cuteness!

Now that my head is full of cute, I forgot exactly where I was going with this...oh yeah...the Sanrio website has a bunch of new Hello Kitty baby toys, accessories, etc. up now. I'm not sure if these are currently available in stores , but I'm guessing they either are or should soon be since there isn't any indication that these are web exclusives. The prices are fair (from $5.95 for a sippy cup to a $54 diaper bag), perhaps a little on the pricey side vs. comparableproducts, but definitely worth it if you're looking for a gift for a Hello Kitty fanatic mommy (if you're out there raise your hands) or something super cute for your own kiddo!
