I just want to let you know that all opinions are my own and I may earn from qualifying purchases. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Enjoy and feel free to share with your friends!

I have two girls and I loved dressing them up when they were little kids.  They were like my living dolls.  Going out was a major fashion event as I dressed them up in cute dresses with matching bags and sandals.   I also made sure they have to look fabulous even when we were just hanging out at home.  OA much but I dressed them up in matching outfits even when they were about to sleep!

Then my little boy came and I was left with a wide choice of hmmm…Generic. Blue. Baby. Wear…

Girls just look soo good in pink…

Unfortunately, baby boy clothes don’t offer quite the same range of choices as baby girl clothes.  So I ended up dressing up my boy in blue onesies, white sandos, white pajamas .  Dressing him up was not as exciting as it was with my girls.
Please do take note that this was nine years ago and fashion has now evolved to fortunately include baby boys!

Zalora-baby-wear

I was browsing online for baby clothes and I drooled (sort of) and wished I still have a little boy to dress up!  I know mommies (and titas and ninangs and grandmas of little boys) will be pleased to know that  ZALORA Marketplace has a wide variety of baby boy accessories! 

Like this cute baby fedora hat with royal baby blue stripes:

Bakit wala yan nung baby si Adrian?!
Cute baby accessories truly complete a get-up.  They add an extra oomph, an extra “ang cute!” compliment.
All of these sooo cute baby boy outfits can be found at Zalora, one of my favorite online stores where I do my shopping – a lot!
(Bihira mo na nga akong makita sa mall, eh…)

Bakit naman daw ako online shopping addict na?

Because it is so convenient! I do not have to brave the traffic; I don’t have to contend with the large shopping crowd; I get paid to shop!
Yep, you heard that right, I get paid to shop, and you can, too, if you sign up with ShopBack!

ShopBack

ShopBack is a cashback site, meaning they pay you, the customer, to shop online! A part of your purchases goes back to you as cash.

Why would they pay you?

ShopBack gets a commission every time they bring shoppers to ShopBack merchants’ sites. ShopBack is then sharing the money with the customer!

Look how much you can get back when you use ShopBack:

How Does ShopBack Work?

Every time you go to ShopBack, a list of merchant stores (like my favorite Zalora and Lazada) are shown. Click through your favorite online store and shop. After you shop, cashback would be awarded to your ShopBack account, which you can cash out to your bank account or PayPal.

Zalora-shop-back

Look! Up to 16% Cashback with Zalora!

I am definitely getting this cute bonnet from Zalora via ShopBack because it made me fall in love with blue again:

And oh, one last bit of randomness before you head to our new favorite ShopBack site.


Did you know that pink used to be a baby boy’s color?

Here’s what  Smithsonian.com had to say:

“Ladies’ Home Journal article in June 1918 said, “The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.” Other sources said blue was flattering for blonds, pink for brunettes; or blue was for blue-eyed babies, pink for brown-eyed babies, according to Paoletti.


In 1927, Time magazine printed a chart showing sex-appropriate colors for girls and boys according to leading U.S. stores. In Boston, Filene’s told parents to dress boys in pink. So did Best & Co. in New York City, Halle’s in Cleveland and Marshall Field in Chicago”.


It was in the 1940s that baby clothing manufacturers settled on blue for boys and pink for girls. 

Whatever the color, though, just make sure you consider these six things when buying baby clothes and baby boy accessories.  Your fashionable baby boy clothes should fit your baby boy perfectly and he should be comfortable with what he is wearing.  mufavicon

    It's sad and disturbing we are assigning color to gender. Happy and healthy…that's what matters.
