Most of us can remember belting out the words to our favorite pop and classic rock tunes. Now you can share them with your little ones. Designer t-shirt company Lyric Culture — Denise Richards is a fan — has launched a super cute line of layered tees for kids that sport lyrics to some of music’s biggest hits.

Put your mini rebel in the “Born to be Wild” ($39, above left) t-shirt — he’ll look super cool. Got a budding fashionista on your hands? She’ll love the “Material Girl” ($39, above right) version.

Check out the rest of the collection here (boys and girls).

A stylish, yet affordable diaper bag is a major score when you’re an expectant mom. But before you tear into the bargain bin at your local consignment shop, be sure to check out JJ Cole‘s new diaper bag collection.

At $90, the company’s Swag Bag (left) looks much pricier than it is. The hobo-style tote sports a chic blue and white print fabric accented with silver faux-leather that is PVC- and phthalate-free. It also features two insulated side bottle pockets.

Inside, you’ll find on-the-go essentials like a coordinating change pad, wristlet and stroller attachments. Functional and beautifully designed, it’s perfect for stylish moms who want to stand out or who need a diaper bag to do double duty as a purse.

When it’s cold outside, celebs like Matt Damon, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Sacha Baron Cohen love to get to cozy in Canada Goose — a 50-year-old Canadian-based manufacturer known for its stylish and super-warm outerwear.

Now they (and you!) can bundle up the tots in them too. The company’s new youth collection includes everything from mini parkas to baby snow suits that range from $250 to $355.

The high-end coats are definitely on the pricey side, but the winter-weather features — elasticized rib-knit cuffs, fleece-lined pockets, high-wind resistant hood, storm flap, velcro zipper flap — are well worth the splurge, especially if you know you can hand it down.

Added bonus: Canada Goose adheres to responsible fur and down policies to maintain humane treatment of animals in the production of all their coats.
