Stylish ittikid began after owner Melanie Miller fell in love with a Scandinavian shirt that wasn’t available in the U.S. Searching high and low for the simple shirt, Miller, a native of Denmark, came across several intriguing Scandinavian brands for children and even adults. In 2007 ittikid was launched, an online boutique featuring stylish clothes, décor, and accessories hand-selected by Miller from Denmark and Sweden.
The former owner and creator of the popular Yolk design store in Silver Lake, CA, Miller draws from her design background and hip fashion sense when selecting the finest looks for ittikid. Miller sold Yolk in early 2007 to relocate to Northern California in order to be closer to family and try her hand at country living with husband Hus and son Oliver.
Ittikid’s high-quality, gender neutral and colorful play clothes feature fun prints ranging from green hippos, red apples, pink elephants, tractors, Vikings, and more. Mid to high-priced and super high quality, ittikid offers infant clothing from 50 cm (preemie/newborn) up to 2 years in most cases. Eye-catching onesies are typically priced at $30 and rompers at $39. T-shirts, dresses and pants generally start at 1 year and go up to at least 5 or 6 years, with larger sizes being introduced in some styles.
ittikid offers selections from these brands:
Plastisock: a Swedish clothing collection of colorful patterned pieces suited for both boys and girls.
Smafolk: a Danish collection of whimsical, vibrantly colored graphic pieces with a modern yet silly vibe.
Ej Sikke Lej: a Danish collection of t-shirts, dresses, trousers, and more featuring fun animal prints.
Danefae: a Danish collection featuring their best-selling, playful Viking prints on onesies, t-shirts and more.
Catering to design-savvy, hip parents from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, ittikid is a great one-stop shop for mixing and matching wild patterns and prints. In addition to clothing, ittikid offers stylish kid totes, back packs, bibs, hats, and blankets, as well as décor, including brightly patterned curtains and animal mobiles.

Sharon Bolton Scents’ intoxicating fragrances are now available, including perfume oils, body lotion, shower cream, and candles. Sharon Bolton Scents are natural combinations of perfumes and oils from around the world, retailing from $24 for shower cream to $120 for a luxurious gift set. The alluring scents range from exotic florals to sparkling citrus, while also containing a down-to-earth naturalness that is hard to resist. Scents include:
Luv: This intoxicating and feminine blend mixes rare pink gardenia, lush Hawaiian white flowers, creamy vanilla and a delicate whisper of pure white musk.
Soul: Sweet tropical notes that will evoke a memory for your soul. The aroma combines Juicy Island papaya, luscious pineapple, and creamy coconut with undertones of clean musk. Despite most fans of Sharon Bolton Scents being women, this is the scent that most men tend to indulge in as well.
Truth: A clean citrus scent softened by an exotic evening floral and airy, sheer musk.
Dream: Is a heady concoction of fresh bergamot, white freesia, and mimosa with suggestions of amber, sandalwood and exotic musk.
Sharon Bolton Scents contain no dyes, pigments, or alcohol and are as natural as possible without compromising the integrity of the scents and their aromas. The products are not tested on animals and come in packaging that is completely recyclable.
Celebrity fans include: Patti LaBelle (who loves Luv), Eva Longoria Parker, Jessica Alba, and Salma Hayek.
Scents are available as gift sets, $120, and include perfume oil (1/8 oz), perfumed body lotion (8 oz), perfumed shower cream (8 oz), and a soy candle (7.5 oz), in the scent of your choice. A perfect all-occasion gift, the set comes in a sleek gift box tied with satin ribbon. Scents come wrapped in the signature satin strap and the Santa Barbara palm tree-decorated box. When opened, the container resembles a blossoming flower.
A former leader in marketing and sales in Los Angeles, Sharon Bolton began her obsession with scents when she was a young girl living in Canada. She would experiment with the collection of scents, oils, and perfumes that her mother kept on her dresser. At this young age, Sharon discovered that oils worked with her body chemistry much better than perfumes, and so a desire to create the best scented oils began. She uses her experiences with smell, taste, and travel to inspire the scents that she creates.
Sharon Bolton Scents are available for purchase at www.sharonboltonscents.com and select boutiques nationwide.
