Thanks for stopping by sproutstyle! I'm Dee Devine, the founder of sproutstyle, an online lifestyle resource for the modern sprout. I'm often asked where I find decor, fashion and other items for my son, so I decided to create this site to share the most amazing products that come my way!
A little about me - I'm the mother of an energetic, sparkling baby boy and the wife of an amazing photographer (check out http://www.robertdevine.com). While my day job as an attorney is challenging, I love discovering new decor and fashion items and sharing them with you! Check out my articles on Swami Baby (yoga tips for mamas and sprouts), La Vie Cherie (modern home decor), The Voice of Mom (as the Health Mom) and Barefoot Mommies (anything and everything for baby)!
The sproutstyle aesthetic is modern and clean, juxtaposed against handmade and vintage details - a sensibility I endeavor to carry from my pre-baby days into mamahood! sproutstyle hopes to be a go-to source for tips and hip items for all of the mamas out there who won't settle for the traditional!

We’re a huge fan of WallCandy Arts…and we’re very excited to explore the redesigned website! New features include a “flip book” showing off consumer’s applications of WallCandy Arts products, an inspiration section, and the ability to buy coordinating furniture and other decor!
In honor of our 1 year anniversary, we’re giving away the beautiful necklace above by Anusce Sanai! Email sproutstyle@gmail.com with “Happy Birthday” in the subject line to enter…a winner will be chosen in February!
I love the packaging of the necklace with the wax stamp…
Inspired by her unique background, Anusce creates one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that she sells on Etsy. I especially love the rose pendant on the giveaway necklace! Anusce is Persian but was born and raised in Italy, and many of her designs include pendants and beads from Italy. After marrying her husband, Anusce came to the US in 2001, and is a lawyer with a “passion for anything beautiful and healthy.” Anusce makes many custom pieces as well, so if you have a specific design in mind, contact her through Etsy. Anusce’s designs have been gaining popularity, and have recently been worn by Michelle Spaleta, Miss Massachusetts International.
Visit Anusce’s blog, “Halfway along our life’s path” as well!

Do all good things come out of Australia? That may be an overstatement, but in the past year an overwhelming number of truly interesting designers, artists, and magazines I’ve discovered have been from down under! Peekaboo Magazine is no exception.
The creation of Brisbane mama Bianca Shugg, Peekaboo Magazine presents a collection of the best products for mamas and sprouts on a quarterly basis. The photography is especially beautiful! While most vendors and products are local, those of us in the states can take inspiration from the designs and other ideas in Peekaboo. Also, many items are available for purchase online. Below are just a few favorite pages from the glossy – be sure to subscribe to Peekaboo!
The teepees above are so cute…
Recognize Itch? We featured Itch on sproutstyle last spring!
Cake Lingerie, on the right, has adorable maternity lingerie!
I may be obsessed with pettiskirts! My four week old has 2 so far…
Thanks to Bianca…the new issue of Peekaboo comes out in March!
If only Sweetiepie was around when I was younger…
Can you imagine having a tea party here for your 5th birthday (or your 30th, whatever!)? Sweetiepie in the West Village looks as yummy as the food sounds! I am definitely visiting Sweetiepie for afternoon tea the next time I’m in NYC…

I love peas! Well, more specifically, I love Trendy Peas! Sisters Patricia Cancado and Raquel Kohler of Trendy Peas create unique, modern art pieces, like “Love Birds” (above) and “Stacked Birds” (below).
Like many of the designers we feature on sproutstyle, Patricia and Raquel began Trendy Peas after coming up empty when trying to decorate their own nurseries in a contemporary yet playful style. Patricia, a mother of two, is the creative mind behind the designs, and draws inspiration from nature and her children. Raquel’s perfectionist nature ensures that each piece created by Trendy Peas is of the highest quality, down to every last detail.
Trendy Peas offers affordable artwork that can grow with your child, as well as other paper goods. The custom birth statistics wall decor is a cool alternative to displaying your birth announcement – and only $23.00! The stationery is cute as well and would make a fun and useful gift for a mama-to-be. Check out more Trendy Peas designs!
- These are so sweet! I love how simple and modern they are. She is very talented. Thanks for sharing!January 7, 2010 - 1:07 am
So my good intentions of consistent posting were thwarted by the early arrival of my daughter…here’s to a more productive 2010! Many more cool designers to come…
One of my all time favorite sites for home design is Apartment Therapy, and its site devoted to children, Ohdeedoh. If you haven’t checked out the innovative designs featured on Apartment Therapy and Ohdeedoh, you definitely should. We were fortunate to have Carter’s nursery featured as one of the “real rooms” – take a look! Thanks Janel for the article!
Everywhere you go this time of year, you’re bombarded with generic Christmas decorations, gifts, etc. So try something new this year – from one of these unique vendors!
First, check out a favorite, L2 Design Collective, for cards, gift tags, and of course, the holiday banner!
Need a stocking stuffer? I love these festive red and green Amigurumi lady bugs from Graziella of Done by Digits. Enter for a chance to win your own lady bug by emailing sproutstyle@gmail.com with your name and address! Just type “lady bug giveaway” in the subject line. Winners will be chosen randomly after Christmas!
Looking for the perfect pj’s for your sprout? I opted for this retro set from Juju & Genevieve – love the monogramming! While this set has been sold out for the holidays, be sure to check out Juju & Genevieve for other adorable handmade designs! Check back with Juju & Genevieve after the holidays for more pj’s – also a great Valentine’s Day gift!
Merry Christmas from sproutstyle!
I have to mention a couple of new blogs I subscribe to now – Minor Details and Trouvais.
Minor Details usually features modern, unique furniture and other decor ideas for children, but they featured the more vintage-inspired canopy bed above last week. The source for this bed (any many others) was Trouvais, which means “found” in french. Be sure to check both blogs out!
Check out Petit’s lines of toiletries for babies (Petit Enfant), girls (Petit Amour) and boys (Petit Prince) – another wonderful Australian company I have come across! Scented with the specific child’s age in mind, you are sure to find a scent appropriate for your sprout!
