I just love dressing my son up (and I can’t wait to dress our little girl up!). And now that the holidays are coming, it’s the perfect time to find the most fashion-forward baby and toddler clothes for pictures, parties, and family gatherings. I will admit that while I have purchased several high-end outfits for special occasions, it’s not something I make a habit of.
In September, Babies R Us launched an exclusive new line of designer baby clothes by Cynthia Rowley. Hooray by Cynthia Rowley offers parents chic and trendy clothing at affordable prices. Some of the items offered include bodysuits, coveralls, dresses, playwear, bibs, baby blankets, and diaper bags. And perfectly timed for the season is her holiday line. Here is a little more information from the site:
The Hooray collection, inspired by Cynthia’s love of unique details and color combinations that can be mixed and matched, marks her debut in the baby products market. And, with layette and playwear ranging from $7.99 to $29.99, and bibs, blankets and diaper bags ranging from $5.99 to $39.99, the line will surely appeal to style- and value-conscious shoppers alike.
We received an adorable holiday outfit which included a gray and black plaid vest (Grandpa Vest), a pair of velvet pants (Dress Up Pants), and a matching velvet cap (Velvet Newsboy Cap). The entire outfit retails for under $40. From the look and feel of the outfit, I would expect to pay much more. The fabric is high quality and the intricacies of an elastic waistband on the pants and a sweater back on the vest make the clothing comfortable for children. The nicest, most expensive outfit is going to sit in a closet gathering dust if it’s itchy, stiff, or uncomfortable for a child to wear (particularly a toddler who now knows how to take his clothes off).
Some of the highlights of the line include “signature prints, plaids, and striped and dotted patterns.” Only high quality fabrics are used including soft-corduroy and sweater knits. I like the fact that the line expands all the way to 48 months and that the pieces are so affordable. I only wish more of the items were offered online as I now do a majority of my shopping online (venturing out with a toddler to a mall at 7 1/2 months pregnant is NOT FUN!).
Babies R Us will continue to expand it’s Hooray by Cynthia Rowley line in 2010. Look for specialty items such as bedding, soft bath, room decor, and more. And I highly recommend going into a physical store for the most diverse choices!

What a cute outfit!!! You are going to have so much fun dressing up your little girl when she arrives!!!!
I used to love to dress up my boys, too. The one advantage to having 2 boys is hand-me-downs. 🙂 I have a picture of both of my boys in the same navy jacket and grey trousers at the same age (3 years apart) the only things changed are the shirt and tie… I have them in a frame side by side…. It’s so cute, as is your adorable little boy!!
I wish the Cynthia Rowley line was around when my kids were little, everything was SO expensive then.
I cannot wait to see your two at Christmas (will she be here by then?) in there new outfits!!
Thanks for the review!!
We have fun dressing up our preschooler son. His dad like to get him sports jackets and clip-on ties. Our baby girl will be fun to dress when she is a little older. We bought our son some retro look clothing from the website I listed. Those were fun for us and him. Our baby is still in onesies which isn’t as much fun. Your son looks cute in his vest and hat.
What awesome clothes! My sister-in-law is being induced on December 13th and we’re eagerly awaiting the arrival of Baby Tyson. As his VERY proud new Aunt, I’m already bombarding them with gifts. 😉 Guess I will be checking out this collection a little more closely!
