I love coupon codes - Lil' Swanky!!

I am very decisive.  Either I like it or I don't.  The same holds true when shopping for Liv.  I don't like to settle for something that is just ok.  There are so many cute trends for kids these days and I have found one website that has them all.  I spend more time than I care to admit browsing for the next cute item and I almost always go back to the same website...Lil' Swanky.  I have spoken about it before and with the holidays coming up, I have gotten a coupon code for my readers (scroll down)!!

So what is hot right now?  Pretty much everything Lil' Swanky carries but here are a few items to take a look at (click on the item to see it on the Lil' Swanky website).


First, let's look at outerwear.  Appaman has a great puffy coat that comes in a variety of colors for $96 -$98 (short and long).

For boys, this Appaman Denim Hoodie Jacket is the best way to make a great first impression.  At $60, it is a great price for great style.

A variety of Lola & James items like this dress ($114) that would be great for a New Year's Party.

Or this Lola & James shirt for boys that will show their inner rock star ($89).

Some of my favorite brands are represented well like this Luna Luna 2-piece set ($72) that would be great for a party or a play date.

And this adorable combo from Scotch & Soda Shrunk ($150) that will make your little man be the center of attention from all the little girls.

I LOVE this set by Little Ella for $58 for your little one.

And Splendid Littles will NEVER disappoint with comfortable materials and great color combinations like in this hoodie ($56) for boys.

Another great brand that is worth your time is Cotton Caboodle.  They make items for both boys and girls and are great staples in your little one's wardrobe.  These three items would work for any little boy and would be great for preschool or just lounging around ($28-$46).

Let your little one represent your team in this tee by Red Jacket (other teams available - $38).

There is so much more (check out the stuff on sale...you don't want to miss out) but to get the picture, you gotta just see for yourself.  And if you love the style but the prices are out of your price range, today (well Monday) is your lucky day...starting on Cyber Monday, November 29, 2010 thru Sunday, December 12, 2010, my lucky readers get 20% off.  Just enter the code cybermonday and start your holiday shopping right.

Don't be scared of these Crocs

Every summer, I get Liv a pair of basic Crocs.  They are great for the beach, easy to put on and take off, and great for a kid that can't figure out flip flops.  After a toe injury last year, Crocs were the only thing I could wear without limping and while my Manolos started shriveling up from the loneliness, my feet were happy so I did't care.

When I bring Liv to dance class, I thought it would be a good idea to get a pair of Crocs so I could just throw them on over her tights and put on her ballet slippers when we got to class.  I looked on the Crocs website a few weeks ago and was going to go for the basic style and was deciding between lined (Blitzen) and not lined.

Functional, matches a lot, no brainer...until I got sucked into Denny's with their Fall/Winter sale on Thursday...I walked into the store and immediately grabbed these Crocs for fear that they would not be there after I checked out the toddler section.

The picture from the Crocs website does NOT do them justice.  They have a silver glitter band along the bottom and a jeweled bow accessory attached on one shoe.  I tried to get a shot with my Blackberry and while the quality isn't great, you can kind of see the sparkles a little bit more.  I brought them home and let's just say Olivia wanted to wear them to sleep!!

I got a pair for my niece for Chanukah and if you want something functional for your fashionista this holiday season, check these out!!  They come with (CrocBling Mammoth) and without (CrocBling) the lining and in three colors (black, white, and pink).  This style is $35 and the ones with the lining are $40.  Sign up to receive emails from the Crocs website and you may get an online coupon or something.  Or, head over to Denny's and snatch them up before they sell out.  I just bought them yesterday and when I went back today to pick up the pair for my niece, they already sold a bunch!!

And for those of you who are sick of reading about all of the cute stuff for girls, check out these adorable ones for boys.

This style, Crocband Sneak, comes in a bunch of colors and still have that ridiculously comfy Croc fit.  At $35, they can be worn all winter and into spring and are so easy to keep clean!!

If you are trying to avoid the fact that the holidays are weeks away, snap out of it and start shopping!  Check back soon for some other fabulous holiday ideas.
