Hold onto your picnic baskets. You and your blue jean baby queen are going to bug out over Anthem of the Ants.
Made in Los Angeles, the new line conjures the essence of summer with sun-kissed denim and cotton pieces meant to be accessorized with a watermelon slice.
Our favorites: the bow halter dress, a gathered jean skirt, and the shorts romper with shiny blue buttons and a sweetheart neckline, all of which come in both dark and light washes. They’re comfortable enough to march around in yet unmistakably girly. She’ll have a hard time growing out of them as time marches on.
Available at La La Ling, 1810 North Vermont Avenue, between Russell and Melbourne Avenues, Los Feliz (323-664-4400 or lalaling.com). To see styles, go to anthemoftheants.com, $50 and up.

BEST CLOTHING STORE FOR KIDS (NEW)
**EDITOR'S CHOICE:
LA LA LING - Even babies and kids living in L.A. know that image is everything in Tinseltown. Thanks to a bounty of boutiques for babies in L.A.'s hipster neighborhoods, fashionable rocker moms and dads know they don't have to settle for white onesies and other standard-issue kid clothes. One such haven for top tot trends is La La Ling, tucked along Vermont Avenue among the cool shops and restaurants in Los Feliz. Owner Ling Chan opened the boutique a few years ago for the Melrose set looking for pint-sized versions of hip fashions. Among the Che Guevera onesies and surfer gear, shoppers will also find up-and-coming designers as well as those that are better known for their grownup lines, such as Diesel and Puma. And for parents with a sense of humor, check out the onesies that say "Pick Me Up" and "Poo Factory." Fashions cover kids from newborn to age 6, and shoppers will also find funky nursery items and cool shower gifts. The calfskin booties, metallic-leather diaper bags, little-girl Harley Davidson dresses and hand-knitted monkey backpacks are among the trendy items that even celebrity parents such as Noah Wyle and Geena Davis can't resist. Be sure to also check out the boutique's Kindermusik classes as well as sessions on baby sign language and French for tots.

NEXT GENERATION STYLE
Eat Your Heart Out Baby Gap!
Fashion trends change faster than ever these days: only the pros and the truly obsessed stay totally au courant. Yet one curious movement has left veteran fashionistas in the dark: style territory belonging solely to soccer moms and stay at home dads:
We’re talking kiddie fashion, of course.
As the post-9/11 baby-boomers grow out of onesies and footsie garb, their parents are making unprecedented choices as to how to clothe their progeny. And not coincidentally, a new breed of children’s store has risen to answer the call.
The twist is that the inventory mirrors what the parents who buy the clothing are wearing while they shop for their little Mini Me’s. That’s right folks; Parents are dressing kids like themselves: hip, sophisticated clothes with a touch of irony for good measure.

Just as traditional children's names have given way to Apple, Coco, Roman and other cool monikers, so is Hollywood swapping the hand-smocked dresses and cutesy overalls of the past for the hipster attire sold at La La Ling.

Chan is also banking on her strong focus on customer service. "As a busy working mother myself while at Warner Bros.," she says, "I would have loved to have a store, whose taste I trusted, that I could just call up and say, "this client of mine had a baby boy and I want to spend x amount of money.' And the store's staff would put something fabulous together and mail or messenger it right out to the new mom. I am hoping I am that store." Ditto for birth announcements and party invitations. "I know so many urban moms who are so busy that it takes them months to get their announcements out," says Chan. "At La La Ling, we're offering custom imprinting services. Moms can simply email me their address list, then call me right after the baby is born with the child's stats, and I'll not only print out the cards but mail them as well." All in the name of making life just a tad bit easier for time-starved modern moms and dads. 323-664-4400

"La La Land"
La La Ling, in classic West Coast jargon, is debuting as a baby lifestyle concept. We’re guessing this refers to the fact that this new, funky boutique -- located in the happening neighborhood of Los Feliz -- is not only crammed with the latest fashion finds for kids and their fabulous parents, but also offers enrichment classes in languages, arts and music -- all with a cultural beat to teach L.A. kids that there is life outside of Hollywood.
A little name dropping seems in order: The kid fashions found inside are by C & C tees, Puma, Paper Denim, Cloth jeans, and vintage concert tees by Claude (with cashmere sleeves of course). There's a debut line of pop kid furniture by Nursery Works, unique toys like Margret Rey’s stuffed-dog Pretzel and a Frida Kahlo doll, a paperie e-shop for creating one-of-a-kind birth announcements, party invites and holiday cards (they'll happily do all the printing and mailing for you), mod rugs, and personal gift basket shopping for all occasions.

Take Your Child to Learn Fashion and French at “La La Ling”
By Rachel Heller
What every mother wants for her toddler is a colorful, stimulating environment in which her child can smile and grow. This place would be touched with whimsy, filled with familiar shapes and sounds, friendly people, and furry animals. The animals might tell a story, the bold colors on the walls might be friends to make along the way. And through this magical medium, the child would learn about his or herself and the wondrous world all around. Some may call this place la la land. Designer Ling Chan calls it La La Ling.
Chan’s eye-catching shop, nestled cozily among the hip storefronts of the Los Feliz neighborhood, is not your average Kids R Us. You won’t find frilly bonnets or trite cartoon characters among the racks of La La Ling. Instead, bold patters, luxurious textiles and spunky colors beckon from their hangers, begging to adorn your child’s precious shoulders.
La La’s glowing Ling explains her fashion philosophy with zest. “A 3-year-old doesn’t have to be dressed like a 3-year-old, ” she suggests, which explains the identical -- if miniature -- versions of the satin panty, Puma sneakers and sweat suits, and posh “Baby Paper” line from exclusive outfitters Paper Denim Cloth jeans. Claude offers kids a cashmere-lined vintage collection, while C+C t-shirts gives cute new meaning to the concept of the “baby tee.”
But don’t fret -- amidst the bundles of tiny T-shirts and itty-bitty bubble vests, the loving parents have not been forgotten either! La La Ling carries designer diaper bags for Mommy so sleek and classy they push carrying a purse out of the picture. The Paulina Quintana line is soft to the touch with a sexy shape, sporting high-octane colors like magenta and silver. For Daddies who cringe at toting unconcealed Huggies into the men’s room’s harsh terrain, Guys’ Infant Gear comes to the rescue with their “Zone Defense” products. City-slick backpack and messenger-style bags pack diaper, bottle, and changing pad room, with personal space to spare. Modern Dads have never been more at ease.
La La Ling is worlds apart from down-to-earth, from the merchandise to the décor. Here, humdrum pastel wall prints are replaced with a modern, crib’s-eye-view Sistine ceiling, designed by German artist Christina Ulke. Technicolor, 3D-looking pacifiers float like candy-coated trompe l’oeils over classically drawn black and white animals in Ulke’s “The Council of the Animals” digital print. Thanks to Ulke, children can gaze up in awe of the happy animals and pretty pacifiers, while adults can read deeper into the art and take home a lesson about mass-marketization’s disruptive effects on the natural world, and high-quality local businesses such as those promoted at La La Ling.
Global economy is not the only subject taught at this innovative boutique. The spacious back-room of the store is set up to house toddler enrichment programs, where children can dabble in art, music, French, and Spanish while their parents shop. Ling says her desire to broaden children’s minds stems from the multi-cultural, multi-lingual upbringing of her own two sons, and from her conviction that children should know about the wide world OUTside of Hollywood.
As with the merchandise, these classes are not kids-only, but are parent-inclusive too. One such class is a “411” information session for new mothers and babies, taught by an esteemed cognitive psychologist for the benefit of all those sleepless and anxious novice mommies.
There are two themes running through all the parent-geared facets of this store: one, as Ling explains, is that “You don’t have to dress like a frumpy mom -- have flair, have personality!” The other, as Ling implies, is that this is the sort of one-stop boutique she wishes she had access to when her sons were born. In one trip, you can pick out funky little socks for your child and a suave new carry bag for yourself, ensure your child’s daily dose of Dégas, design custom birth announcement or birthday party invitations (and have them sent out too), and buy children’s books, games, and puzzles to boot!
In the colorful little neighborhood of Los Feliz, there now lives a fantastical store whose motto might be “convenience, with style.” And you don’t have to travel to la la land to find it.

La La Ling
Kiddie Couture
The breeders' ultimate new fashion accessory? Babies!
Hot mamas and sugar daddies can blow a wad on their newest accessory--er, family member--at Ling Chan's new baby boutique. Chan created this haven for hip families after having two kids of her own, Finn and Ty (not so fast--it beats Coco and Apple.) The store carries lines like C & C T-shirts, Puma sweatsuits and Paper Denim + Cloth jeans all in miniature sizes for kids aged zero to six years. While the parental units shop, kids can explore language, art or music classes. But besides its baby couture and culture classes, La La Ling offers baby registry, La La Layette gift baskets, custom invitations for birth announcements or birthday parties, a debut furniture line from Nursery Works. After trading movie marketing for motherhood, Chan can still multitask with the best of them.

La La Ling: “Los Feliz is ripe,” said Ling Chan, a 35-year-old mother of two who will be opening a “baby lifestyle boutique” on Vermont Avenue next month. “All these rockers are having babies.” Her store, La La Ling, will carry “very pop, modern baby furniture” instead of “that distressed paint, shabby chic kind of thing” and baby clothes “with a twist,” like Paper Denim and C&C tees—adult fashions that have been shrunk down to baby size. “We’re so over the cutesy baby store,” said Chan, who also plans to offer kids’ classes in language, art and culture.
