A big round of applause to Blu Pony Vintage for creating an innovative kids' clothing line centered on something other than bedazzled tanks and graphic tees (not that we don't love bedazzled tanks and graphic tees). The brand-new label launches next week, with their adorable 1920's-inspired Summer 2010 collection. No synthetics. No plastic buttons. Just lots of Made in the USA retro-style that feels refreshingly now. Look for it next week at: Pebbles (L.A.), Flicka (Santa Monica), Little Skye, and Stringbean Co.
