RUUM American Kids' Wear Back To School Shopping with KidzVuz

Last week we ventured out to the Palisades Center Mall in West Nyack, NY to attend a back to school shopping spree event with KidzVuz. It was the first time we'd visited a RUUM American Kids' Wear store, and it was a delightful (dare I say fun?!) shopping experience. RUUM store employees know that clothes shopping can be a tedious and boring experience for kids - leading to unhappy, whiny or out of control kids. To keep kids happy and engaged with the shopping experience, they have a few photo kiosks around the store that allow the kids to take... Read more →

The Children's PLACE Holiday Preview 2012

The Children's PLACE offered a sneak peek at their 2012 holiday baby and kids' clothes last night in NYC. Yes, that's right - HOLIDAY 2012! While we're just beginning back-to-school shopping now, it was nonetheless inspiring to see the winter trends for kids' outfits - and to see what we need to pick up to ensure that the Kiddo's sporting some style this next school year. Overall, the Loft Suite at the Bryant Park Hotel was bustling and it was interesting to hear The Children's PLACE's own Michael Giannelli discuss some of the winter trends for kids with Nicole Feliciano,...

Disney Baby Launches Cute 'n Cuddly Bodysuit

Today Disney Baby debuts its Disney Cuddly Bodysuit for infants on Amazon.com/DisneyBaby. These adorable li'l onesies are the onesies I wish existed in time for the Kiddo when he was a baby: soft 100% cotton in sophisticated Disney designs and featuring some clever favorite characters. The Disney "Momgineers" behind the Disney Baby brand product line found that the average parent purchases 35 bodysuits in the first year alone. To help reduce that number for parents, the bodysuits have a second row of snaps to extend the wearability of the onesie as your baby grows. Disney Baby was focused on developing... Read more →

Great Deals for Li'l Rockers

City Threads is one of my fave clothing lines for Li'l Boo. We have their San Francisco zip up infant hoodie from our Cali days, a toddler size Chicago one from our time there, and we quickly picked up a New York hoodie and hat from them when we moved here earlier this summer. (I'm obviously a big fan . . . see shots of Li'l Boo below sporting their gear from coast-to-coast.) So I was excited to get an email for previous and current customers announcing they're taking an additional 25% off everything online including items already marked down... Read more →
