Babesta Beat SS 2015

o Bviously Poking fun at the beloved Eloise, modern day Ella is the story of the sassy and trendy urban little 6 year old. Written for the new wave of hipster kids riding around Brooklyn via scooter, the book will find fast friends in city kids. Brought to life by author Mallory Kasdan and gorgeously illustrated by Marcos Chin, Ella chills with the rooftop bouncer and needs to log into the hotel wi-fi when surfing the net. Armed with her mini pup in her purse, feisty and artsy Ella (who doesn’t appreciate a kid like that?) is ready to take on whatever the city throws her way. Already getting traction by charting on Time Magazine’s pop chart and spotlighted in Vogue, Ella is one of Babesta’s new faves for some vacation reading! babesta.com/books ELLA DOES BRKLN

ALL ABOUT THE BASE t here ’ s a new base in town for the Nuna Leaf, the side-to-side lounger that’s got sway. Keeping up with what made the original Leaf so appealing, the Leaf Curv is sleek and rounded, and is the perfect spot for a nap or a meal. Holding up to 130 lbs, it’s not just for babies—even a toddler or bigger kid could recline in this chair, probably with a gaming console in hand. babesta.com/nuna
