Sometimes, as in my case, appreciation for pretty, frilly things come late in the game.  This is where baby girls–whether they be your little sister, niece, daughter or goddaughter–come in as your adorable, real life dolls.  They can pull off anything, and nothing is too cute.  You only have a few more years to play dress up with them until they start deciding on their own (I think I remember snubbing my nose at the ruffled green dress my mom was pushing me to wear at age 6).  Thank goodness for fashionable aunties and moms who have the foresight to take plenty of pictures of kids in cute baby gear like Erin et Vivien because I’m sure they’ll be thankful for them in the future.

Erin et Vivien is actually a brainchild of my cousins Mira (a regular Martha Stewart) and Virna (who often treats her little nieces and nephew like paper dolls).  Ate Mira is a genius at crafting these adorable tutus.  Looking at them, I wish I were a kid again…or that they made them in my size, because you know, I might go as Delirium next Halloween if they did.  Well, the tutus are customizable, so I think they do, but of course they’re specialized for little girls!

From their website: “Our tutus are very fluffy and are flame-retardant. We have different materials and colors to choose from all of which are high-quality, imported materials. We have the soft, stretchy sweet looking everyday tulle and the frosted, shimmery (may be used for costume parties) tulle.

“It’s customizable up to 4 colors and fits infants from 0-8 years old (we can also do a bigger size for bigger kids or even adults). Yes, we ship worldwide! Shipping charges apply.“

Check out my cute nieces in their namesake (would you believe these two girls are TWINS?? They’re so opposite that they don’t even look like sisters, haha):

Dashie (Dashielle Vivien) wearing Lia

Callie (Callista Erin) wearing Cheri

Dashielle: orange, fuchsia, ivory

Danielle: frosted brown and peach

Kaiea: pink and lavender

Lia: purple, yellow, fuchsia

Callista: turquoise, lavendar, pink
(my personal favorite, but maybe cos it reminds me of Lisa Frank stickers I used to collect when I was a kid)

Other colors available:
Pink Punkstar – Hot Pink + Black + Ivory
Citrusy – Orange + Lime + Yellow
Rainbow Spark – Turquiose + Hot Pink + Yellow + Violet

Erin et Vivien also makes the cutest baby bloomers (diaper covers) and kimono shoes which were available at their first bazaar.  I don’t know when they will hold a bazaar again, and it’s not up at their website yet, but you can PM them in their Facebook page or text inquiries and orders at +63 917-7944525.  I love the patterns for the kimono shoes, they remind me of those heels in Forever 21 I never got to buy.

So if you don’t have Christmas gifts or outfits for your favorite little girls yet, you know where to look.  Fortunately for international readers, they ship worldwide.  Just visit their website to order.  For local customers, Erin et Vivien can also organize ballerina princesse themed parties for your girls.
