In the world of chic moms, style is not limited to what the little ones wear, but extends to all of the essential items that make her life so much easier. Until recently, there were not many fashionable choices for everyday things like burp cloths, stroller blankets, and changing mats. Patricia Ann Designs, an online specialty boutique and the namesake of the California mother and daughter team who created it, offers the most unusual fabrics for baby accessories. A car seat cover ($110), burp cloths ($29), changing pads ($18) and shopping cart covers ($85) are available in a leopard print that will complement mom’s inner diva. Other pieces feature zebra, trendy camouflage, pony, and giraffe patterns. Among the company’s more popular products is the “travel silkie” ($26), a soft security blanket for baby. The machine washable “travel silkie” is lined with satin trim and is small enough for small hands to hold for comfort. For more information and to purchase, go to patriciaanndesigns.com.
