The World's Most Expensive Kid + Baby Clothes

Peruvian pom-pom hat

Peruvian pom-pom hat

It's fairly innocent looking, but this darling hat will set you back a whopping $106. If your kid is anything like mine, that $106 will be quickly thrown off the stroller, left at a playground, or covered in grape jelly within the day. And yet, you can't deny it, the desire to spoil our children and outfit them in the very best is a strong one. Hence, even in a recession, there exists a $106 dollar hat for your six-year-old.

Based off an informal poll of my Twitter followers, the consensus seems to be that $50 per item seems to be the very top of the baby wardrobe budget (for me, personally, I stop at the $40 mark). What about you? How much would you be willing to spend on a single item for the apple of your eye?

Check out a collection of the most exorbitantly priced baby clothes I could find on the web (and I'm sure I am missing some gems!). Give them a gander and let me know, how much would you spend on a single item for your baby's wardrobe?

A Look at the Most Expensive Shoes in the World

A love of finely crafted footwear is a dangerous obsession to have. Although the most expensive pair in the world are DEFINITELY out of most shoppers' price range (they're vintage Roger Vivier pumps that cost $26,629.06, according to Forbes), tons of designer shoes aren't cheap. Plenty cost more than a month's rent.

We spend a lot of time staring at pricey pairs on the internet, dreaming of our next big purchase. Barring any outstanding credit card debt (pay your bills before shoe shopping, kids), we recommend-occasionally!-shelling out for fancy shoes. Since luxury labels use the best materials available, their products fit better and last longer. Plus, pumping money into our lackluster economy is the best way to boost it, so spend when you can!

Below, we've found 10 beautiful high-end shoes for the serious shopper looking to invest in their wardrobe.

And tell us: Would you buy any of them?

1. Christian Louboutin croc simple pump, $4,645, barneys.com
Topping the price index are these surprisingly demure Christian Louboutin heels. You can bet all $4,465 that's genuine alligator skin.
