The Sweet Stuff: Babies Rosebud Toque

There was once a time when being a mom was not such a glamorous job.  Those days are long gone.  Moms today are chic and sophisticated and as such, their children reflect their great style.

Roots has lots of fashionable looks for your mini-me's and people are starting to take notice.  Recently the trendy Canadian blog sweetspot.ca has featured one of our children's toques.  Under their sweetmama section, which is completely devoted to sharing tips and trends on anything from fashion to nightlife, they have posted Roots Rosebud Toque as part of their 'Stay Warm Guide'.  Sweetspot commented on the toque saying, "Popcorn knit is as trendy as having babies this season."  and we couldn't agree more.  Made from 100% cotton yarn, its oh-so-soft and the perfect topper for any little head.

As Seen In: The Globe & Mail Describes Electra Bikes As One Fashionable Ride

If you stopped by a Roots store this summer, you may have noticed the aqua-coloured bikes we had on display. These are the Electra bikes, which are one hot trend this season.  

As Leanne Delap from The Globe & Mail's Style section explains, fashion-foward cycling is the new trend, and the Electra Bikes seem to be choice number one for "fashionable riders."

Michael Budman, Roots Co-founder, thought the same and ordered 75 Electra bikes for the Roots stores: “When you ride of one these, life slows down,” he says.We agree and we like it that way!

As Seen In: Roots British Saddle Bag in National Post

Stocking up for back to school is also cool for the not-so little ones. According to Nathalie Atkinson of The National Post, there is a "nostalgic pleasure from stocking up on 'school supplies.'" And the Roots British Saddle Bag was included on the National Post's "back-to-school" list for grown-ups. "It is roomy -- all the better for filling with new stationery."
