Just wait till you see them in person - I totally died - I had NO intention of bringing in swim, but just had to have this line. Sizes start at 3 months (be ready to omg over these) and will go up to a 10. And Mamas - they're affordable, I promise (but they don't look affordable - I promise that, too - wink). The whole line is adorbs, and will start rolling in in January for vacation season.
Another new line is Limeapple - all girls 7-14. Yup - 14. THIS is the line that convinced me to carry up to a 14. It will be here in February, and I totally fell in love with it. I'm not going to post pics because I'm not a huge fan of their pics - you have to actually see it in person to love it. Again, another one I had no intentions of so much as looking at, but I happened to whirl through it and L-O-V-E-D it. And I KNOW you all are dying for an alternative to the J-word store...well, this is what I'm bringing you (for now, anyways). I actually had to shop at the J-word store once - for some photography styling. Now, I left there with two complete summer outfits and had spent $120. That's $60 per outfit. We all know their quality is terrible, and the style is...well, not really what we want for our kids. Limeapple is much cuter, higher quality and definitely less...Britney Spears circa 1998. AND - lower pricepoint per outfit. Win-win-win-win, right? I certainly thought so.
Next is the one I'm MOST excited about - Baby Nay. OYE. Love it. I actually made the poor rep stay past their tear down time so I could place my order. I really wish they went higher than a size 6, but no such luck, and I HAD to have it regardless of WHAT sizes it came in. Bright green and pink with grey funky florals and a "crayon" art pattern - super funky and very b&b kids. I also added a couple sets for holiday - so we will have some pieces in shortly! One of them is pictured below (gasp!)
Now for boys - I did not completely disclude boys - I found Bobinette. I only brought it in in sizes 4-8, because that's what I liked it for, but I absolutely adore how chic yet simple it is. The designer was brought up in Paris and her upbringing really shines through in her designs. Tres magnifique! The pic below shows one of her designs from last spring/summer - she is well known for her classic shirt and shorts that utilize unique but durable fabrics...a little shi-shi for boys, I know, but the price point is reasonable for this age group for one of their "nice" summer outfits, and the line is obscure enough that it is fitting for b&b. I really fell in love with it...
Well folks, those are a few of the lines you can expect to see this spring (and sooner)....and of course, expect some surprises along the way! I have at least six new designers coming in within the next three weeks that are NOT on this list!
