a cutey booty inspired tip for entertaining

2011-01-31T12:38:00.000-08:00

we at cutey booty are all about finding the "simple and easy" when it comes to how we approach life. aptly positioned as the perfect pre-packaged, personalized, "grab and go" gift, cutey booty is just one of many ways that the guesswork can be entirely taken out of a task. just grab and go! now that really IS simple and easy!

as moms, wives, friends, entertainers(both of children and adults), and as women alike, we all seem to be in the constant quest for that next best thing to make our lives simpler. so it is with all us moms and women(and even you men and dads) in mind who have a"full plate" that we at cutey booty would like to begin offering up some of "our very favorite things" that make our lives somehow simpler, better, or that just make us smile. from cooking to reading or from fitness to child rearing(cutey booty pun intended), we all have so much in common!

as someone with a true love of the kitchen, i have always found great pleasure in tackling elaborate meals, unique tapas, or easy family meals on which to nosh during our next night of entertaining, date-night "in", or even just a night at home with the kids. so this particular week as i(and the rest of the world) think on what to make this sunday for the superbowl, again, simple and easy has to be the theme. i have a great pick for a "cool tool" that will help anyone make one of the best known appetizers and make it "simply"! who doesn't like stuffed jalapeno poppers? well anyone can make them right at home(and WELL) with William Sonomas Jalapeno Roaster, their pepper corer, and a container of Callie's Pimento Cheese(another of my personal charleston-based faves and "quick grab"!) with these tools in your kitchen, you simply cut the end off the peppers, core them with the nifty tool, stuff them with the pimento cheese and grill. literally, easy as 1, 2, 3, you have gourmet poppers you can be proud to serve!!!! for variation, stuff them with cream cheese and sausage. see these pics above of all you need for this "HOT" fave! and fyi, even the kids will love them if you take out the seeds and rinse the peppers before stuffing(not quite as hot!) please stay tuned to our blog to find out what else we love to do when we aren't focused on "baby's bottoms" :) you can go to http://www.williams-sonoma.com/ for the tools and to http://www.calliesbiscuits.com/ for the pimento cheese. until the next time, happy jalapenos!!! whitney koval

Greetings Cutey Booty fans!

This October, Cutey Booty made a leap of faith based on your enthusiasm for our little children's collection by attending our first national trade show, the Children's Club event at NYC's Javits Center. We spent three long days in our booth meeting with retail stores, media outlets and other vendors and fortunately left feeling optimistic about our small, Southern brand.

Here is an image of us in the booth!

We were able to pick up a few new retail stores who will be selling the Cutey Booty collection in a matter of months. Are there any stores in your area that should be selling Cutey Booty? If so, leave us a comment with the store name!

Meet Cutey Booty

2010-02-05T13:39:00.000-08:00

Inspired by the births of our third babies, we took the frustration we had with our children’s clothes and turned it into the foundation for a new clothing line for babies and children.

Our tagline, basic to brilliant, is an apt description. Our market debut offers a fresh take on oldies, but goodies with modern, personalized bloomers and boxer shorts for infant and toddler girls (patootys) and boys (dudeys). Each piece is handmade by hip moms in Charleston, SC and is an exclusive - complete with lower case initial appliqué, snaps for convenience, and pre-packaged for easy gift giving.

Family and friends can choose between smart, sensible bamboo or fashion-forward, premium Moda Bella cotton bloomers and boxer shorts in a refreshed palette: coral, lime, mist, and white. These are “must haves” for the modern baby bum!

We were constantly dressing and undressing our little ones and thought ‘we can make these everyday wears smarter and add some panache'. There aren’t many ready-to-wear personalized pieces available that offer that grab-and-go perk for the discerning, busy mom. With Cutey Booty, clever convenience meets personal flair.

We simply take basic wardrobe staples and brilliantly redefine them. Cutey Booty updates essentials by giving them a stylish and uniquely modern twist. Even classics can be made better, and our contemporary take on timeless standards is exactly what today’s savvy buyer is looking for.

We hope you will find the line irresistible whether for your own little one or for a friend you are gifting. Look for Cutey Booty to grow leaps and bounds from infant wear to garments and accessories for older children soon!

Basic to Brilliant,
Whitney Koval and Angie Medlock
