Little Monsters
Chicagoan Abbie Kelley knows each child has a personality all their own-after all, she had 14 siblings who all were a little different than each other. Kelley's large family served as inspiration for her new line of children's clothing called Little Monsters Gear-12 monsters designed to reflect children's different personalities.
The line, which she created with Stacy Nordlund, includes tees, bibs, leg warmers and burp cloths that feature Kelley's monster designs with names like Cuddle Bug, Boo Boo, Daredevil, Princess, Tank and Wiggle Worm.
Sizes run from 3 months to size 7 and designs are offered in the Fierce and Gentle collection (a bold or soft color scheme).
You also can build your own monsters on the website to create a customized clothing item. The clothing line is available online at littlemonstersgear.com and soon will be in several local boutiques.
