Those of you who knew the answer are either spending way too much time on TMZ or have twins of your own.

If it’s the latter, you’re in luck because today, we’re talking about Tot-a-Lot – the single cutest concept to ever hit the world of twin dressing. Sold in sets of two, Tot-a-Lot twins’ clothes feature designs that work together. One set pictures a child holding a string on one shirt and a flying kite on the second shirt, another features a soccer player kicking a ball on the first shirt and a goalie on the other.

Talk about genius! Can you think of a better way to cut your shopping time in half without resorting to look-a-like outfits?

Yup…didn’t think so.

Silly, rabbit! Poor thing has no clue how quickly those trends change. So why not satisfy her urge for up-to-the-minute fashion right now with a Baby Eggi Striped Empire Dress?

Thanks to its close-fitting jersey top, full woven skirt and oversized bow, Baby Eggi’s Striped Empire Dress looks like it came right out of some downtown socialista’s closet. Casual enough to wear to school yet dressy enough to flaunt at a garden party, this dress will have the compliments rolling in from every direction.

Just one word of warning: Unless you want the entire pre-school rocking this Baby Eggi, don’t tell the little styler where you got it. Everyone knows kids can’t keep a secret.

You don’t have an invite and there’s a line at the door. But you’re not worried.

Sure enough, the crowd parts. The door girls smile. The paparazzi ask you to pose on the red carpet.

“Who makes those shoes?” they demand.

“Zuzii,” you manage just before you and baby are whisked inside for a wonderful evening.

Yes, Zuzii Footwear for infants is just that undeniable. Who can resist the Bijou Baby Boots or the Joli Petal Baby Shoe? Zuzii’s premium leather soles cradle baby’s foot, while the downy soft and brilliantly designed cotton uppers have everyone wondering: Who is that stylish baby???

If you answered “Things to Love about Spain,” you’re right. And now, you can add another name to that illustrious list: Bobo Choses.

The Spanish children’s clothing label with the French name mixes uptown quality fabrics with a cool, downtown sensibility to create some seriously cutting-edge children’s wear. Combining frisky prints with bold colors, Bobo Choses pieces are as at home at a suburban Fourth of July barbecue as they are on the streets of the fashion capitals of the world.

Which is great because while you’d like to stay on the right side of the International Fashion Police, you certainly don’t want the girls at book group to think you’ve gone loco.

You: Are you kidding? White will wash him out. Our boy needs bold colors!

Meddling sister: You’re both wrong! What this child needs is pastels!
