Born Identity

When shopping for friends' babies, it's important to ask what their babies' style personality is? Instead of spending a lot for clothes baby won't wear or won't look good in, this question can save you some cash. Of course, baby can have two style personalities depending on his or her activities, just how we can be both Carrie and Samantha (from Sex at the City) at the same time.

Preppie/Country Club Baby

This is appropriate when baby is playful and active but a bit reserved with his or her actions. He or she likes horses, golf clubs or soccer balls. Since baby is sociable and interactive, these oufits are best worn when going to Hong Kong Football Club (or Manila Polo Club in the Philippines), Sunday lunch at Top Deck (or Greenbelt), playgroup at My Gym or (Gymboree).

Where to shop: Ralph Lauren, Gap, Zara, Petit Bateau, JCrew, Hackett London

Lil Fashionista

This is for the outgoing and cheeky baby. He or she is showing a little bit of character already, either one who smiles at the camera a lot or is a bit snobbish and does not like being with strangers. They are the future Victoria and David Beckhams, the late Kennedys (Caroline and JFK Jr) or better yet Jackie O and James Bond. Best worn when going to parties, baby's first photoshoot or special occasions (like the Baby Gala Dinners or the Baby Tatler Ball).

Where to shop: Juicy Couture, Chloe, Dior, Burberry, Armani, Fendi, Kenzo, Barneys New York, Neiman Marcus or Harrod's

Artsy Fartsy/Alternative Baby

This is for the creative and a bit moody baby. He or she likes playing with crayons and creates buildings from blocks in a little corner or likes dancing to music and playing with the guitar. Favorite DVDs are Baby Van Gogh or Baby Mozart. He or she would grow up to be the next Zaha Hadid or Mick Jagger. Best worn when going to Kindermusik, Woodstock concert, art museums or when checking out the facilities of a finishing school (you want to be prepared way in advance).

Where to shop: Little Marc Jacobs, Diesel, Comme Ca Baby, Roxy or Quik Baby, Von Dutch Baby, Small Paul by Paul Frank

Romantic Prairie Baby

This is for the sweet and loving baby who is on the shy side. He or she wants to be hugged and carried the whole time and cries when Mommy is not around. She likes walking or crawling on grass, playing with animals and wades in little puddles. Best for baby who grew up in the countryside. Think Little House on the Prairie or Brokeback Mountain! Best worn to church, first days of school, sister's holy communion or Mommy's best friend's wedding.

Where to shop: Gap, All Organic and Eco-friendly brands, Marks and Spencer, Oilily
