Gandzee offers complete wardrobe sets for children ages 2 to 6. The wardrobes contain fun, fashionable clothes your child will love – with a quick and painless process for you.

How Gandzee Works & Why We Love It

1. Buy a season’s worth of fashion-forward kids clothes with the click of one button.

Find a wardrobe that fits you and your child’s style, select the size and BOOM, your child is for the preschool runway. Wardrobe Collections are 8 pieces including tops, bottoms, layers and accessories. Starter Collections offer 4 pieces of mix and match clothes.

2. Everything in a wardrobe collection mixes and matches.

One of the hardest parts about shopping online is not knowing if things will actually match when you get them home? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found myself wondering “Does Seafoam Green match Springtime Green?” while browsing some big name children’s brands online. Gandzee wardrobes are hand-picked so that everything coordinates.

3. Save trips to the mall and multiple shipping fees.

Gandzee has FREE shipping and when the season’s wardrobe arrives, you’re all set! No need for harried trips to the mall with multiple kids in tow.

4. Follow our styling suggestions to take your child’s wardrobe even further.

Gandzee offers suggestions to work staples (like jeans and khakis) into your clothes to create even more stylish outfits.

Gandzee Style

We love this season’s Wardrobe Collections for boys and girls. Which is your favorite?

Planning a vacation? Where will your wahine rock her surf wear this summer?

“We believe that fashion is an outer form of expression of oneself that one must enjoy and embrace. Our goal is to make clothes fun, stylish and bold as well as inspiring and positive in order to make an impact on kids self-esteem at an early age.”

Available in two styles, Polkadot What leggings allows a girl size 2 through 10 the opportunity to take part in the design process to get leggings as unique as she is. First, decide between the Capri Shapes and Stripes leggings and select a size. Next, create your leggings by selecting a pattern or color for each leg. We love that the shapes and colors are labeled personality traits (like confident, happy, unique, awesome, sweet) rather than simple descriptive words. The website is very user-friendly and previews your design before you buy.

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… We love the design your own leggings feature that guarantees leggings as cool as your kid. You can pick your design based strictly on color or based on the personality traits that best describe your girl.

Or Not to Buy… We realize not everyone will go for the two-different-color-legs-leggings from Polkadot What. Granted, we wouldn’t give this a thumb’s up on an adult but it’s perfect for playful girls – and to encourage them to have some fun with their clothes and just be themselves.

Shop! We are delighted to offer two discount codes to Polkadot What. Use code PDW-SHOPMAMA-10 and get a pair of Stripes for $28 (reg. $32).

Tea Collection Clothes for Spring Break

We were lucky to receive a gift card to shop some spring styles at Tea. When shopping, my singular goal was to put together some outfits for my kids to wear on our vacation. Now, I know it’s a little silly but I wanted the clothes to coordinate. My theory? We’ll be taking lots of photos on vacation and you never know when you’ll snap this year’s holiday card. The kids might as well be dressed for the occasion, right?

Hammerhead Tee ($19) & Safari Print Cargo Shorts ($39) || Colorblock T-Shirt Dress ($27), Mini Stripe Leggings ($18.50) & Peppercorn Scarf ($25) || Hippo Heaven Tee ($19) & Patch Pocket Shorts ($22)

I fell in love with the adorable Colorblock T-shirt dress and picked outfits from there. My daughter has already worn her dress and coordinating scarf and the outfit is just as fabulous as we imagined.

Unfortunately, it’s been far too cold for the boys to wear their cool tees and shorts, but my six year old is stoked his shirt has hammerhead sharks.

Tea Collection Spring Break Sibling Outfit Inspiration

With our upcoming travel in mind, I put together some more spring break sibling styles from Tea Collection.

Venda Fish Polo ($29) & Surfer Plaid Cargo Shorts ($39) || Floral Smock-Neck Mini Dress ($35) & Saltwater Original Sandal ($34) || Dance Print Shirt ($39), Two Oceans Sweater Vest ($45) & Safari Cargo Shorts ($39)

Muizenberg Beach Tee ($29) & Cape Point Surf Shorts ($28) || Wild Hibiscus Tee ($29) & Paperbag Shorts ($30) || Ubuntu Striped Romper ($25.50) || Woodstock Ruffle Bubble Romper ($30)

Colorblock Explorer Tee ($19) & Billabong Muted Board Shorts ($45) || Rainbow Waves Tankini

($45)

Laugh Brand Denim & Tees

The foundation of Laugh Brand’s clothes is simple: quality denim and fun shirts with flair that your kids will actually want to wear. The t-shirts feature kid-friendly designs, like ballerinas and bikes, with details parents appreciate. The shirts are more thick than a typical t-shirt and have thoughtful details like slightly puffed sleeves, 3D tulle tutu, and overlock stitching.

On him: How I Roll BMX Tee & Relaxed Straight Leg Jeans
On her: Parisian Ballet Tee & Super Skinny Jean in Rinse

The denim is full of design details, too, like stitched pockets and “diamonte” buttons. Here’s a true story: my daughter hates jeans and she’ll tell you any day of the week that they’re ugly.When the Laugh Brand Super Skinny Jean showed up, she initially scoffed at them and wasn’t interested. And then she got a closer look at the sparkly buttons and soft pink stitching and changed her tune. “These are the only cute jeans I will wear every day, mama!” she said. Then a miracle happened and she wore jeans without a fight.

The whole family is tickled with the Laugh Brand clothes now in heavy rotation in my kid’s wardrobe. The fact that the brand is dedicated to donating profits to protect children around the world is an amazing bonus that makes us feel good about recommending these clothes. You will certainly feel good about your purchase, too, knowing you are supporting such a great cause.

Laugh Brand Home Dressing Room Experience

Laugh Brand has a unique way for you to try their clothes with the super smart Home Dressing Room program. Here’s how it works:  The basic idea is this, you can select a size for either boys or girls (or both) and Laugh Brand will ship the full line to your home.

• There would be a small deposit of $25.00 and you can have the clothes for 21 days. You are not billed for any of the items shipped.
• You keep what you want, ship the box back to Laugh Brand for free, and they will charge them for the items you want to keep. There is no requirement to buy anything, but if you do the $25 deposit is applied to your order.
• All items can be returned as long as they are not washed and the original tags are still attached.
• It’s a risk-free way to try Laugh Brand clothes – all of them! – at home.

Shop! Laugh Brand clothes are available on the website. T-shirts are $38.50 and jeans are $58.50. If you’re on the fence about a purchase, consider the Home Dressing Room experience. Keep up with Laugh Brand on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Moxie Jean Review

Selling to Moxie Jean

Time to clean out the kids’ closets? Moxie Jean makes selling clothes EASY. When you place an order, you automatically receive a a huge addressed, postage paid envelope. You can also request a mailer bag and it will be sent to you at no cost. I gathered up a bunch of my daughter’s clothes to send to Moxie Jean. The company emphasizes to only send your best things – and they mean it. Only about half of what I sent was purchased by Moxie Jean. I received an email explaining what was purchased, for how much, and also the reason certain things were not purchased. The pricing is straightforward and you can see the pricing sheet before you mail anything. You can use the money you earn towards your next Moxie Jean purchase or request a check.

If Moxie Jean doesn’t buy your clothes, they donate them to a local children’s charity in Chicago. I was surprised that so many things weren’t purchased as I thought they were perfectly good quality. But, of course, that means I can purchase with confidence knowing they’ve looked over every piece of clothing they sell with a fine toothed comb, only accepting the highest quality kids clothes.

Buying from Moxie Jean

Shopping Moxie Jean is easy and well organized. You can browse boys or girls and by size and by season or brand or Moxie Style (“Free Spirit”, “Tea Time”, “Prep School”, “Special Occasion”, etc). Another thing that makes shopping Moxie Jean unique is that the clothes are often sold in sets so you can buy an outfit knowing it will match. I ended up buying mostly individual pieces, but it’s not unusual to find a set with two tops and a pair of pants, for example.

My shipment from Moxie Jean arrived quickly and nicely packaged with a personal note. Love those personal touches! As you would expect, given their buying policy, each piece was like-new quality. And, of course, they were a fraction of the cost of new clothes.
