I currently can’t stop browsing the Tiny McSmall online boutique. If you want lovely and unique toys, clothing, and accessories for your little one, this is where you need to be. They have lots of my favorite brands, and plenty of beautiful items I haven’t seen before. Not all their items offered are eco-friendly, but many are, enough to make me adore this shop anyhow. All their items are drool worthy, but I figured, being that it’s chilly outside, we’d look at some beautiful winter gear. I’ve got some girly finds, and later I’ll post a few little fella items.

Starting with the Forest Coat by Oeuf shown above. This 100% alpaca coat is gorgeous with total personality. It’s more of an autumn coat, but toss in some mittens and a hat and it’d be good for general winter outings or parties – not so great for snow play obviously, but still a great everyday coat. Comes in chocolate brown with adorable hood, four pockets, and a three-button empire closure. It also has a loose fit, so it will work over a Valentine’s day party dress. Currently only available in size 5, but check Ouef for other size availability and two other colors – red and gray.


Makie 100% Wool Fleece Bonnet with an adorable velvet ribbon and pretty tassel.

Handknit Organic Merino Wool Car Coat handmade in New Zealand with the pure organic wool. Beautiful color and shape; a perfect winter baby birthday or shower gift. This is one of the prettiest baby sweaters I’ve seen in a good long while. Sizes 1-3.

Sometimes, you don’t have to find a fully “green” or organic baby clothing shop in order to find great pieces. For example, Bean New York is not a fully organic shop, but they always seem to have a wonderful collection of gorgeous organic and Fair Trade baby clothing with nice choices, but it’s not overwhelming. For example, the About a Bean Onesie you see above. 100% organic onesie, printed with botanical stages in “the development of a bean”- so adorable, I almost can’t stand it.

Other cool Bean finds include:

Entertaining Elephants Organic Cotton Dress: Lap-shouldered organic cotton dress with long sleeves – great for dressy or casual events.

One of my favorite Fair Trade tot sweaters around, the Kiwi Baby Sweater in olive. I love this sweater. It also comes in a blue and olive design that’s adorable, and a red and pink version. I’m not as big a fan of the red and pink sweater though.

Visit Bean New York to see more cute clothing – or you can head straight to their organic clothing collection.

We’ve been snowed in for days – today we actually are seeing some sunshine, but it’s still chilly. Perfect weather for these cute Kusikuy Rainbow Jr Alpaca Glittens. Glittens are cool because they’re mittens combined with fingerless glove ease. Kids can actually stay warm, and pick their stuff up. Made with sustainable, animal friendly, Alpaca wool.

Need more sustainable winter options?

Organic Ribbed Striped Scarf – so cute I want it! Sadly, I think it’s a little small for me.

Pink Lotus Sweater: Very cute in organic cotton for a little pink princess.

Rib Sweater: This is one of my favorite baby sweaters in town from the sustainable Oscar & Belle company. Comes in coco cream or silver cream for babes up to 24 mos.

Elf Set – Knit Hat & Booties – Blossom: Knit from 100% alpaca with an adorable orange tassel on the hat.

Lots of winter goodies – which is your favorite?

Above is the pretty Aravore Babies – Organic Crochet Dress with Red Sash. Made with fairly traded organic cotton and organic merino wool. Available in 6 mos to 2T sizes.

There are some big changes you can make like using cloth diapers (over a billion trees are killed each year to make disposables) – that said, not all of us have time to make giant green changes. If you’re a busy parent on the go, you can still make some easy green changes…

Breastfeed your little one – you already have the equipment for this easy green step.

Make your own baby food – this seems like a big step, but it’s really very simple. You can mash almost any foods you’re already cooking for your meals and give it to your baby. This cuts down on production energy used to make baby food and is usually healthier.

Use LED lighting in the nursery. LED lights are not appropriate for all areas of your house, but are perfectly suited to low lights in the nursery.

Buy organic cotton baby clothing and textiles. These items are sometimes more expensive than conventional – but you can find deals. Also, if you buy organic, just buy less. Your baby doesn’t need a huge wardrobe, just enough clothing to keep him covered and cozy.

Play baby games instead of buying toys. Some toys are good for babies, but really, they’re just as happy with some attention from you. When you do buy toys, be sure to purchase, safe, non-toxic toys.

How are you going green with your little bundle?
