Although Spring is having a hard time making up its mind, here in my part of the east coast, I can’t help but daydream of days of sundresses and flip flops.

I’ve been eyeing quite a fun adorable Spring outfits to feature, but since I’m thinking of sundresses, how could I not spotlight this adorable frock from 77kids.

Perhaps one of the coolest aspects of running NKT is getting introduced to, discovering and sharing all about these great products, sometimes even before they come out—or in this case, right as they launch!

Green Pea Kids, a line for babies and children 0-24 months, are designed and produced in the US and Europe using eco-friendly bamboo, organic cotton, and hemp. Sebastian Salvado developed Green Pea Kids after noticing a void for affordable, colorful and eco-friendly in the children’s clothing market. Right now, the new Green Peas Kids site features some cute clips, blankets and dresses. Next month they will introduce separates for boys and girls which will be in the $20-40 range.

And how adorable is the Apron Dress? Made from 100% hemp, the dress is classic, cute and airy for summer.

So many cute dresses, so little time

A few moms that I know have complained how their girls have so many cute dresses, but not enough chances to wear before they grow out of them. The Baby Sports Dress by Agoo Apparel remedies this dilemma. It’s made of stretch fabric that touts 50+ UV Protection, which makes it appropriate for playtime and everyday wear. The dress, which comes in various colors and sizes ranging from 0-12 months, is made of fabrics that use bamboo and recycled fleece, making it sustainable and eco-friendly.

I love that this dress is stain-resistant and is specifically designed for active babies, especially those who are just learning to crawl and toddle. The Baby Sports Dress by Agoo Apparel is functional, sustainable and pretty darn cute. Want to complete the ensemble? I f you order a Baby Sports Dress, top or tank, you get a free pair of special edition LegHuggers! It doesn’t get any cuter than that.
