Cool Shirts for boys

Wow, cool t shirts abound at http://www.tillys.com/, and at great prices too (just $12.99!) I have to grab a few of these original styles for John! Here are 2 of my favs, but there's plenty to choose from:

Volcom, Comicazee T shirt (orange, white, black) in boys sizes 2 - 7 $12.99 (look for this on John!)

School Bus

It seems to be the year of the dress in our household, how about yours? I love buying clothes that stand out and that aren't carbon copied for every other little girl in class. Don't get me wrong, we buy lots of gymboree and the like, but there's nothing like custom to set your little one apart.

Here's a great back to school dress offered on ecrater (click the title above for a direct link.) $50 will get you a custom dress for your little girl. There's still time!
