Fresh off the Boat

While Posh and Becks have been working on their leathery tans in paparazzi flashbulbs, some other notable imports have quietly arrived on our shores.

Even if the jury's out on Posh's style, get ready to fully endorse Sweetpea booties. They come from the other land down under – New Zealand – and they show that the Aussies don't have a lock on cuddly sheepskin footwear.

Sweetpea's lambswool-lined booties for babies and toddlers come in three textures and nine colors. Starting at $30 a pair, they're priced more practically for fast-growing tootsies. The booties also feature an elasticized fit so they stay on snugly but feel seamless.

Sweetpea also features beautiful linen baby bedding, adorable layette sets, cute preemie outfits and the requisite cheeky tees. And though the goods are appearing in NY stores like Takashimaya come September, you can get 'em now online, where you'll also find swimsuits by Little Red Fish; they feature built-in sun protection that's tough enough for those South Pacific rays.

Surely Aussie (and new mom) Naomi Watts should snap these up for her new babe. The paparazzi are watching.
