First saw Huckleberry Baby at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market — the cutest possible clothes and accessories.

Now that summer’s coming, the lookout is on for Hats LP Will Actually Wear. This one is 1) pink & 2) soft. Bing!

Huckleberry Baby Reversible Sun Hat $25.

This doll is cool. At first I didn’t read the directions and horrified our Little Princess by putting Ariel in the tub, making the designs on her tail vanish.

So you know: blow-drying Ariel while praying the designs re-appear will not work, ice water will. (Thank you, Internet).

We set up one icy bowl, one warm. Designs on, designs off! Fun! This Ariel even has what appear to be tummy tatts (we told LP they were obviously “temporary”). Ariel Bath Doll, about $29.00

Lovely PoshTots has the most beautiful, poofy, foofy, fluff-tastic tutu of all.

After she quits ballet, you can tack it to her wall; what a work of art!

Or she can wear it over jeans to every single birthday party, ever.

Chocolate and Light Pink Poofy Princess Tutu $60.00.

Ah, December! The joys of dressing up for family gatherings and services…

The searching for last year’s dress at the back of the closet… The vigorous scrubbing to get those jam handprints off the front (dang that strawberry cake filling!) … Or maybe that’s just us?

Here’s another option: Tea Collection Ancient Embroidery Dress, $55.30.

Let’s assume your LP will only wear clothes that are soft, pink, and comfy.

C & C California, land of deliciously soft cotton with extra-long sleeves, is having a mondo kids sale—use promo code KIDSX33 through Nov 30.

And while you’re there… they have the best turtlenecks ever (for you).
Toddler Nora Dress, $34.00.

Like a beautiful bouquet of the most romantic-possible flowers, ever-so-lightly dipped into caramel-sundae sauce.

The sugar-high aspect makes it young enough for any princess but the bottle is special enough to be displayed by older girls. Naturally: love the name. Vera Wang Princess Perfume: $45.56

We have the “non-princess” version of this castle and it’s amazing.

This Princess Castle ($64.99) is deliciously pink-accented and folds open so her Princess Small Dolls can roam around and have adventures … or get banished to the towers, as HRH wishes.

Recommended: Institute a “no yelling HELP! HELP! from the towers” rule early on.
