^^ clearly never had kids... lol... or a sense of humor or tact for that matter.

For the love of Mike, cut the damn kid's hair already. You're his mother. You're in charge. And don't be all hippie and "it's his own hair he has a right to wear his hart any way he wants to." No he doesn't!
If you can't get him to cut his hair what are you going to do when he becomes a defiant, surly teen? What are you gonna do when he tells you he's not going to go to school any more and his girlfriend is going to be moving into his room?
And lose the freaking sunglasses. He's a little boy, not some world-weary hipster. Kids should not be hip. Do you know what hip means? It means someone who has been around and knows the score. They've seen it all and nothing surprises or delights them. It's fine to be hip when you're 25 but not when you;re freaking six years old!
There's more to being a mother than dressing your children in cute clothes. Kids should get a chance to be kids, carefree and giggly and unselfconscious. He has years and years to be all sophisticated and blase. Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief.

That's the hippest boy child I have EVER seen....

We love Dark Cycle Clothing on Etsy. They have some pretty rad shirts of animals on bikes for everyone in the fam. We also like Birdie Handmade on Etsy, for Fable. They have some super cute dresses. We just ordered one for my little Olive.

I love the picture on the beach. He's looking like a young Wes Anderson. Also, the one on the boardwalk is great. He kinda inspired what I'll be wearing to girls' nacho night tonight. So, thanks, Archer, Style Muse. :)

2010-02-02T10:33:10.581-08:00

We have H&M in NYC and the one on 34th street has a rockin' kids dept. They have everything from Rocker T's and cute button down flannel shirts, undershirts, underwear and shoes at affordable prices! Highly suggest you make a visit there if you are ever in the NYC. Great stuff for Fable and mama too!Including Fairy wings and we all know how important those are.

That last photos badass! Archer's such the rockstar. ;D I love his Van's checkerboard sneakers, his red shades and those glow in the dark rain boots. So cute. ;o)

2010-02-01T20:28:00.469-08:00

we buy consignment, target & old navy. i make shirts for my dude (& girls) from plain tees. i've done initials, words, trains, robots, a sousaphone & more. i can make pants out of bandannas & pillow slips, but we stick with store-bought pants for the most part. and always on sale. i rarely spend more than $10 on anything for my kids.

You're not kidding about the Shawn White jeans...

2010-02-01T14:09:47.059-08:00

You're not kidding about the Shawn White jeans! My boy has the grey and also the black. I don't know what i'll do when he outgrows them! What a sweet, hansdsome boy you have!

Can I just tell you that I love you so much more now that I know you shop at Target? I {heart} Target.

Oooh... but having said that -- I totally love ANYTHING from Next... which is mega pricey but too frickin' cute for words:

2010-02-01T11:01:55.393-08:00

I get the majority of my kids clothes from Primark here in the UK... just out of curiosity -- how much would you pay for say, a pair of jeans and a t-shirt from Target?

Are kids clothes cheaper here or there, I wonder?

I just spent £4 on some jeans and £2 on t-shirt here (which is pretty average for Primark) so that's like... $9.50? Is that reasonable?

If we could afford anything but hand me down's...

2010-02-01T11:01:25.571-08:00

If we could afford anything but hand me down's my kids would be dressed just as cute. How adorable!

2010-02-01T10:56:27.473-08:00

Oh, thank you for this! I'm still new to all this mom thing & really had no idea yet where to buy cool clothes for my (3 month old) son. I just bought a huge pile of stuff from Tea. And thank you thank you thank you for that alone! I'm always on the look out for sci fi and robot stuff.

Who says boys aren't as much fun to dress up as girls?

Now I have to go through the comments to see what else everyone suggested!

2010-02-01T09:10:28.042-08:00

Too cute. I used to shop at Gap for my son. But now that he is 15 he only shops at, here it comes, wait for it ................... American Eagle, Abercrombie, Hollister, and PacSun. Nothing I can do about it at this point. He refuses to shop anywhere else.

Hi Rebecca,

I have a 15 month old girl, but I recently discovered a brand from Sweden called Polarn O. Pyret. They make really cool boys and girls clothes and a lot of there stuff is designed to be unisex. I purchased some thing for my daughter and some items for my friends son. The clothing is really well made and they are having a great sale right now. PolarnO.Pyretusa.com

2010-02-01T08:02:06.537-08:00

Yes! love and agree with all of your boy-finds.. and I love the Ando and Friends stuff... from our local peeps.. Charlie Rocket, too.. Just so many fewer cool things for boys.. no dresses with under things and tights or cutesey Euro stuff.. it gets a little "questionable" with all of the patches and stuff, but I still find some cute cashe stuff at Naartjie, too.

Oh, thanks for the recommendations for boy clothes...

2010-02-01T07:29:35.260-08:00

Oh, thanks for the recommendations for boy clothes! It's so hard to find great clothes for boys. I usually resort to Old Navy and Gap. I love Paul Frank (which is at Target now, so YAY!) and Converse. Boden has some SUPER cute stuff for boys too.
(Your little guy looks adorable by the way...)

2010-02-01T07:11:14.893-08:00

I'm all over Target when it comes to Jack. Cheap, cute and easy. Especially for a boy whop is quickly growing into a giant.

Also, I NEED that panda shirt! Jack is bonkers for them, and thus has left the entire Martin house with panda fever.

2010-02-01T07:08:12.815-08:00

ohhhhh...i love these outfits! i wish i could afford a $32 hammer/nails t-shirt!

i mostly shop the local consignment for my boy, but i lust after the clothes and accessories at http://www.shopgenes.com/

...especially the old-school band t-shirts.

2010-02-01T06:25:32.830-08:00

we get a lot from etsy for my 8 year old step son. H and M kids has the BEST skinny jeans for boys.We bought him a pair of plain white hi top converse chucks and a bunch of sharpies and he and his dad decorated them with all kinds of fun imagery including super mario bros and pokemon. They have been a huge hit.
