Nohi Kids is a new collection featuring rich, vibrant hues paired with modern, urban-yet-playful graphics for kids aged 2 to 8. Using a combination of certified organic cotton, bamboo fiber, and spandex for the softest touch, Nohi Kids’ comfortable pieces are perfect for active kids to run and play. Founded in mid-2010, Nohi Kids is the creation of Oakland, CA-based Janel Jones, a veteran childrenswear designer. The fall/winter ’11 collection is a colorful mix including rust long-sleeved tees with motorcycle graphics, teal peacock dresses, and grey guitar hoodies, all affordably priced from $22 to $40 retail at www.nohikids.com.
“I try to design the clothes while keeping in mind how quickly kids grow,” said Janel, who previously co-founded Abe Jones children’s clothing. “For instance, our dresses are made to be dresses first, then tunics over leggings the following year.”
In addition, Nohi Kids incorporates elastic waist and arm details for easy on/off and the inevitable growth spurts. Several Nohi Kids pieces are ideal for mixing and matching, from bubble skirts with leggings and a long-sleeved graphic tee to a sash dress with leggings.
Nohi Kids will also debut their organic Nohi Baby collection this fall, featuring owl, apple, and car prints on bodysuits, yoga pants, and blankets for ages newborn to 18 months. Just like the kids collection, all Nohi Baby fabric is a combination of certified organic cotton, fiber from bamboo, and a touch of spandex to keep it washing well and lasting forever.
The fall collection will hit stores in mid-August and is currently available for pre-order at www.nohikids.com.

Wallaby, a brand new family development center in the heart of Silver Lake in Los Angeles, recently opened its doors to cater to families of children from birth to 3 years. Conveniently located on Hyperion Ave. near Sunset Junction, Wallaby offers parent & me classes, drop-in hours, parent education, support and hobby programs, as well as children’s birthday parties. Created by Ericka Tullis, a Los Feliz mother of two with a Masters in child and family policy, Wallaby hopes to fill the void for Eastside parents seeking high-quality services all under one roof and for a reasonable price. Wallaby‘s next semester of classes starts January 3, visit www.wallaby-la.com for their full schedule and pricing.
“It’s such a great place to raise kids- a really unique combination of urban and progressive but still very neighborhood-y and friendly in a way that people usually associate with the suburbs,” said Ericka, a former pre-school teacher, on why she chose the Eastside location. “Basically all the hipsters grew up, got married and had kids, and chose to stay in the area they loved.”
Unlike many parent & me classes that focus on just one domain of children’s learning, Wallaby offers a comprehensive, developmental and dynamic preschool-like curriculum that includes freeplay, music and movement, arts and crafts, storytime and a healthy snack. Classes are offered in the following age groupings: Baby Joeys (12-18 months), Little Joeys (18-24 months), and Big Joeys (2-3 years), with all ages drop-in hours offered several times a week.
In addition to their parent & me classes, Wallaby offers support groups for new moms and dads, as well as hobby groups including guitar lessons for moms. Wallaby is in the process of building their parent hobby program to include additional offerings such as knitting classes, crafting classes, and writing workshops.
Wallaby offers a free trial class for prospective new students. They are located at 1835 Hyperion Ave. (@ Fernwood Ave.) in Silver Lake, 323-662-0128, for more information visit www.wallaby-la.com.

Livie & Luca children shoes incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood. Livie & Luca’s designs are inspired by nature, folklore and the rich imagination of children. Their comfortable construction allows kids to navigate playgrounds, city streets and dirt pathways with style and ease.
Livie & Luca was formed in 2005 when three friends, all new moms, compared notes and discovered there weren’t any shoes on the market with the modern designs, flexible soles and affordable prices they craved. Deciding to create their own shoes, Livie & Luca was born, with the fitting tagline “Adorable shoes for adorable feet.”
With an independent spirit and a commitment to giving back, Livie & Luca partners with its customers and Art for Humanity to facilitate the donation of gently-worn shoes to children in Honduras. Children living in poverty are given possibly their first pair of shoes for school and protection from soil-borne infections caused by walking barefoot.
Designed to “tread lightly” on the earth, Livie & Luca incorporates eco-friendly practices wherever possible. This commitment to the environment combined with fresh designs and taking cues from children’s creativity, has created the magic that is Livie & Luca.
