How many hooded towels can one baby have? Not enough really. 3 at least anyway. One for bath time, one for swimmming lessons and one spare! We have found some great hooded towels from baby star who make their towels with snuggly organic cotton.

Way to go Violet Affleck, blue and yellow stripes! These 2 colours together are so fresh.

Honor Warren is giving Suri Cruise a run for her money in the style stakes. She is rarely seen in anything but super groovy atire….

I know Suri is a little fashionista and chooses her own clothes, but we are sorry to say, the jury is out on the ruffle, ra-ra skirt.

M.I.A.’s son was always destined to be quirky and cool, he doesn’t disapoint here with his white kicks and rolled up dark denim.

Faded denim dress & gladiator sandals. Take note fashionistas!

The SOSOOKI collection is developed from its offspring label SOOKIbaby, drawing inspiration from this hugely successful infant’s brand. So, as SOOKIbaby’s grow up, they can become SOSOOKI kids. This season, cool nerd styling is mixed with fairytale mushrooms, vibrant colours and street mono prints.  SOSOOKI’s spring summer range makes for a totally unique collection that is bound to be a hit with the little ones.

Nerds are the new black, with a geek theme included in the boys and girls collections. Making the smart kids, into hip kids, are the ‘It’s cool, not to be cool’ slogan tees and nerd glasses printed onto shirts. For boys, there are a great collection of cool tee prints to choose from, including ‘The King’ Lion, ‘Party Animal’ balloon dog, and ‘Hanging with my Gnomies’.
“I get inspired with the good old days’, a retro style print or shape and then incorporate a modern day version of it by adding fresher elements to the design,” said Dijana Dotur Designer, founder and Co-Owner of SOSOOKI.
Smarten up little tearaways with the funky check prints on shorts, shirts and tees. Or be really fancy with the dress shirt and bow tie print and every SOSOOKI boy will want to pull up his braces with the cool shorts with braces.

Give us a brief history of Still Hip.
Simply put, another local mom and I were chatting and decided with our similar energy we would do great together in business. We brainstormed and came up with a list of things that were important to us and came up with children, community, budget and being green. Hence Still Hip!
I had a t-shirt line called hip-tot so we thought keeping the ‘hip’ branding would make sense and even though their used, they are still hip!

What was the main motivation behind moving into resale?
Resale just makes sense. Kids grow out of their clothes so quickly it’s crazy! Plus, what could be greener than reuse?

You have some celebs frequenting the store. Any gossip?
Wish I had some real spicy stuff, but I’ll say that Peter Sarsgard has been in a few times with his daughter for nothing more than to use the bathroom!

What’s your number one favorite thing about Still Hip?
Aside from our awesome turtle, Giles, I would have to say my ‘workers’. By this I mean all the kids that come in and tell their
parents that they work in the store because I let them push the buzzer to open the door or feed the turtle. It is the sweetest thing to have a kid give you a big ole hug when they see you at the playground and then they run and tell their friends that they work for you. LOL!
