Banana Republic Has Gone Mini!

Banana Republic has just introduced their latest limited edition collection and this one is for the mini rock n rollers. The pieces are gender neutral which is really helpful on the second go round. Now that I have a baby boy, I'm regretting my daughters ultra feminine infant wardrobe. I still harbor a serious addiction to buying any item of clothing with butterfly sleeves, so I doubt Mr. Blue Eyes will be getting any future hand me downs.  Love the cozy cashmere and the asymmetrical fisherman sweaters for the wee gents and the tomboy onesies for the lil' lassies. And if you feel the urge to splurge on the cashmere, it looks like today they're offering 35% off with the code: BRSAVENOW

Mini Boden Summer Clearance Sale

Mini Boden's clothes are so adorable and brightly colored with fun patterns and intricate appliques and right now, they are having an amazing sale. Many of their clothes and accessories are up to 70% off.

Summer embroidered play set

I picked up this lavender two piece set for $17 and found out yesterday the price had gone down even lower to $13!

Big applique t-shirt

I love their animal appliqued tees. This zebra would be equally cute for a boy or a girl.

Towelling Poncho 

And this little toweling poncho would be perfect for the beach. Sizes are limited so hurry and don't forget to check out the men's and women's. I snagged a few things for myself. Especially since my daughter's wardrobe is becoming far more stylish than mine!

London - Harvie & Hudson

While in London this spring, I was shocked to see so many sale signs in store windows. Obviously, the recession is hitting the U.K. equally hard and there are great shopping deals to be found. It looks like banker types in particular have tightened their belts because the best deals were on Jermyn Street. This is where all of the great British shirt makers have resided for decades, including Turnbull and Asser, Emma Willis, Thomas Pink, and Harvie & Hudson. Turnbull and Asser and Emma Willis are a bit out of my price range, so I decided to order my husband a few shirts from Harvie and Hudson. Their shirts are beautifully constructed from exquisite cottons with mother of pearl buttons and turn back cuffs. And, unlike many of the current companies on Jermyn Street, they still design and make all of their shirts on the premises. They also offer a slim fit line that is less blousy for a younger look that comes in several classic colors and patterns. Right now, they are offering three or more shirts for 33 pounds, with shipping and the exchange rate, that came to about $50 dollars a shirt.
