Krista Means would've named a daughter Georgia Blu, but she had two boys instead. So, the name went to her charming new children's boutique in West Seattle. The vivid blue space houses white furniture and touts a Parisian feel, with updated Shabby Chic touches. Think of it as a prime go-to spot for European pieces for both boys and girls (infant to size 5/6). Kids are more than welcome here; notice the stroller parking and the kitchen play area. The store's main focus is clothing--brands such as Petit Bateau, Chipie, Confetti, Knuckleheads (retro greaser-style clothing for boys) and Splendid Littles line the racks. Also expect puzzles and wooden toys from Melissa & Doug, baby blankets from Little Giraffe, linens from Serena & Lily and shoes by Tsubo. Noodle & Boo lotions make excellent baby shower gifts, as do picture frames and other accessories that round out Georgia Blu's chic selection. We imagine all of these factors should help keep Georgia on your mind.
