Keep checking in often because as we get closer and closer to receiving our spring lines in, more will go on sale to make room for it all. (How exciting is it that we're starting our second season already!!??)

Babies in black?

Black looks great on everyone right? But what about on your babies? To be honest, I had never even considered black as a colour for a baby until a friend of mine mentioned she had been searching everywhere for a black shirt for her infant daughter. Black goes with just about everything, so why not put your baby in a cute little black top or pair of pants?

We love the Dreamkids 'Anything but ordinary' little black top. The text comes in fuschia or white.





There's also the Babes in Black lap t-shirt, and little black pants.

Or how about this unique sushi top?


And of course there's my personal favourite, the Little Black Dress.



So tell us, what do you think about babies wearing black? Would you put your baby in black?

Happy new year from Apples'n'Oranges

(Secondary message: get these things off our heads!)

Boxing week sale!

Christmas has come and gone, and it's been hectic! So much visiting and eating- now it's time to relax from the comforts of your living rooms and do some shopping online!

Keeping with the holiday shopping spirit, Apples'n'Oranges is having a Boxing Week Sale! Everything in our store is 25% off until January 2nd. Stock up on your favourite Canadian brands like Peekaboo Beans, Kid Brother, Fig Organic and Babes in Black.

The LBD- a wardrobe essential

The most essential piece of clothing in every woman's closet- the LBD or Little Black Dress - is now available for the littlest girls! These fabulously adorable dresses are hand-made especially for Apples'n'Oranges with the finest attention to detail. And I'd just like to add that they are made by Joel's very talented and loving Mamie (my mom!)

Mamie decided that since she had some free time, now that she is retired, she wanted to get back into sewing. She has perfected these dresses, and part of the sale of each dress will be donated to a charity. Mamie hasn't yet decided which charity she would like the funds dontated to, but she's still doing some research.

So please let us know what you think! They come in a variety of colours- so check out the Little Blue Dress and the Little Jean Dress too!

For the mom to be or new mom

These change pads are a must-have for my next baby. The inside is made of minkee and about the most heavenly feeling fabric you've ever felt in your life!!

For the baby you KNOW has the soul of a little old man

Little old man slippers... uhhh... I mean penny loafers. I love these!

Xmas loungewear

What's better than lounging around all day on Christmas day playing with new toys. We love peekaboo beans here at Apples'n'Oranges and only have a couple of pairs of their holiday loungewear - check them out!


Cozy for Xmas eve

A common Xmas tradition is the Xmas-eve pyjama tradition - one I couldn't wait to start with Kiernan. And he'll have a pair of these super comfy cotton PJZZZZZ to open Xmas eve. (well not the ice cream ones ;)


Computer guys

This organic shirt by fig cracks me up - and kind of reminds me of the old Mission Impossible game I used to play on my Commodore 64!

Pretty girls

Accessorize! Girls like to be pretty and flower pot clips are unique!

Do you have any favourites? We'll try to post a few more suggestions in the coming weeks... just to help inspire :)

Merry Christmas!

Our Holiday Open house was great - despite the horrible weather here in Ottawa lately (we got something like 50 zillion centimeters of snow in the last 24 hours - ok, well - I swear it was at least a foot of snow!)
