MOST ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS:
BEYA MADE
Beya Made's Laurel Thompson is passionate about creating environmentally conscious, ethically produced clothing for children. Her love for nature is evident in the choice of print and natural fibers, and her pieces are all adjustable, extending the life of each garment for several seasons beyond your typical baby clothes.
BIGGEST FLIRT:
STANDARD OF GRACE SHOP
"I will hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection" is the phrase SOG founder Andrea Anderson has modeled her business after. Which is kind of ironic, because her rompers--made from vintage textiles--are just
about the most perfect thing we ever did see!

MOST INTELLECTUAL:
FOREST & BLOOM KIDS
Forest & Bloom's Brandie Pahl is one smart lady. When she is not behind a sewing machine making beautiful, vintage-inspired pieces, she can be found with her nose in a good book.

Her work shows a quiet intelligence and refined sensibility that make her pieces a joy to behold.

BEST PERSONALITY:
HELLO ELLIE SHOP
