Baby You've Got Style

Baby Fashions influence is about style and function. With the recent boom of baby fashions and accessories, our editors at Baby Creation Boutique love their roles of selecting the best fashions for baby.

According to statistics in the U.S., Canada, and Europe, women are having children later in life, many when they've established an education, career and disposable income, making them the hottest demographic on the market.

Baby high-end fashion is “hot on the market” and many design houses are jumping into the Baby fashion market to appeal to the high-end fashion family crowd. The new breed of moms are a sophisticated, savvy bunch, says Julia Jacobs-Sanford, who launched, Creation Baby Boutique Expo, a few years ago after having a baby in her 30’s. "Having kids is a life-altering, new exciting thing, especially for women who are used to being in control of their lives and bodies or are coming from the corporate ladder of success."

Julia Jacobs-Sanford was in Chicago last weekend to commentate at The Creation Baby Boutique Baby Expo and http://www.babycreationboutique.com/ Fashion Show, at Lakeshore Athletic Club. Savvy Moms strutted the runway with their infants in the latest baby slings, toddlers walked their first run way and smiled in the latest fall baby fashions, and pregnant Mom's wore the latest fall fashions from "A Pea In The Pod." Barbara Sheehan Segal, Publisher of the online baby magazine BabyCreationBoutique.com says, "the boom in products for babies, young children and parents is largely mom-generated."

"Hip, Savvy, Mom-preneurs are driving this market," says Julia Jacobs- Sanford. You have a huge group of professional women seeing a need and creating more interesting useful products than ever before." The booths at the, Creation Baby Boutique Expo were dominated by women with small business ideas ranging from children’s videos, games, adoption, educational products, designer clothing, organic products and clothing, to booties and shoes.

The previous expos were held in Skokie, Chicago and Northbrook. There will also be an expo October 7 in Orland Park.

Creation Baby Boutique Expo: Chicago Baby Boutique Expo


I heard the shopping at this event is going to be awesome. I am so excited because as a mom it is hard enough to find the time to visit any one of these great boutiques or activity centers... Sunday everything will be in ONE LOCATION!

Over 50 Exhibitors! 2 Ballrooms at the Hard Rock Hotel and a lounge disco sponsored by Baby Loves Disco.

Ask the Experts questions!

The website was cool. The logo's on the side scrolled and you could check out all the awesome new baby companies. (www.creationbabyboutique.com)

I am so excited to shop and hang out downtown. The weather is suppose to be 80! We are going to go across the street to Millenium Park after the expo. Send an email to the address on the website to get on the VIP list for free tickets.

Chicago Baby Boutique Expo

How fabulous does the upcoming baby boutique expo at the Hard Rock in Hotel in Chicago look (it is set for May 6.)! If it is as great as some of the merchandise that was featured on WLS-TV News (ABC) in Chicago on Sunday morning April 29 looked, the event will be outstanding. The so-cute clothes and diapers and baby slings and SHOES!!! and hair clips and special stacking jars for food and artwork and books that were shown on the TV interview looked to be obviously of the highest quality....and that was just a small representation of what's lined up for the Hard Rock event. Julia Jacobs-Sanford, the founder and creator of CREATION: THE BABY BOUTIQUE has obviously put together an amazing event (I went to her website at http://www.creationbabyboutique.com/). She's a new mom and that's why she did this. She's got entertainment for the babies and toddlers and adults and all kinds of experts scheduled, in addition to what looks to be great shopping. I missed her first expo which was in March, and she's got 2 more in the suburbs in July and September...but we're going to make a day of it and go downtown to Millennium Park and walk around and go to this baby expo. I am going to bring my mom and mother in law...and I think our guys may come too. (They could sign up for the free chair massage for adults at the expo.) And I will probably need all those extra arms to help me carry stuff home.
