Sunglasses now required for Australian school kids

Filed under: Kids and Babies

It seems like the policy of most school administrators is to figure out what's trendy with their students, and then forbid them from wearing it to school. At least that's how it was when I was a student -- and I constantly was being griped at for my hair, or my sagging pants (don't judge, it was the 90s), or whatever.

But apparently Australian educators are getting hip -- they're not only encouraging, but mandating that their kids wear sunglasses on the playground.

Granted, the move isn't some nationwide fashion statement, but rather an attempt to protect children's eyes from the blazing Australian sun. However, that doesn't make it any less cool that every single student will running around sportin' their coolest pair of shades.

Nixie Clothing makes kids eco-chic

Filed under: Kids and Babies, Style for a Cause

nixie eco chic clothing for kidsIn keeping with the theme of green for St. Patrick's Day, we're looking at some things that aren't physically green, but rather, enviromentally "green."

Nixie
clothing is a line of high-end children's fashions that is eco-conscious. Based in the UK, the company was started with the understanding that we often dress our children in mass-produced clothing that will eventually end up in landfills; not to mention that the conditions under which the clothing was manufactured are horrible, and might have been made by children. Nixie operates on the philosophy of sweat shop free and fair trade

The inspiration behind the designs was taken from nature: opening of flowers and the movement of butterfly wings. They use vintage fabrics that have been gathered over years, in combination with reconditioned textiles, i.e. "recycled."
