Rite of Passage

It appears the cutting of one's own hair is a true rite of passage around the age of 4. Our daughter Molly accomplished this task stealthily in our bathroom two days before Christmas. She was very tidy in this endeavor and placed all of the hair in the trash bin, as if we wouldn't notice. Well, we noticed. We didn't overreact but we did start referring to her as "FuzzBall Molly." The ironic thing about this is we have had tons of women comment on her hair and then say, "I did that when I was her age too." It is a rite of passage.



You can see the haircut we are referring to in our latest website photos. As we learned from our hairdresser, hair grows 1/4 inch every month. It will be a little while till Molly has normal bangs. Maybe everyone will look at her attractive clothing from Maison de Belles Choses rather than her bangs? Well, probably not but both will be noticed. We have new arrivals for Spring and Summer arriving often, including this Busy Bees racer back dress as featured on Molly. This is a great, easy everyday dress for your little girl. I am also excited about this beautiful white with blue polka dot and apple pique fabric dress by Sarah Louise. It is great fabric and looks fantastic with the pleating detail.

This is the second installation of our new Spring arrivals. The first one was on our new crab smocked clothing. Hope you like them and Happy Shopping!

Crab Season!

It is dungeness crab season here in San Francisco. It is also crab season in smocked clothing at Maison de Belles Choses. Anavini has created the most adorable crab boy bubble and crab dress I have ever seen. I am in love with the light blue and white striped fabric and the unique straps on both pieces. The boy bubble has these adorable criss-cross back straps and the dress has these button front straps. I just really appreciate these little details. These are well made, unique smocked outfits that will look fantastic on your little one.
