Baby, It’s Cold Outside

7 a.m. Enfant’s Outerwear

Big surprise: Boston’s bitter cold has turned you into a shut-in.

But for those rare moments when you dare to brave the elements, outfit your little Eskimo in French designer 7 a.m. Enfant gear. Toasty caps, booties, and single- and even double-stroller blankets are perfect for protecting babes.

Each one comes in a variety of colors and is machine washable. And who knows? Baby’s resilience might even inspire you to brave the next nor’easter that whips across the harbor.

Quelle horreur!
