Paint your own Shape Puzzle!

Just added to our e-store today! This is the perfect holiday gift for a cool kid you know. Something they can use to be creative and learn about color and shape!

This wood puzzle is handmade in upstate New York, and left unfinished. With kid-friendly non-toxic paints and brushes, your little DIY-er can design and customize a puzzle to his liking.

This also will make a great keepsake, something to pass down as we all grow up…

Puzzle measures about 9″×12″. Click here to buy.

Pigeons! They flew the coop!

Hands down, the Best. Costume. Ever.

Staci's little girls requested to be pigeons... so she made these costumes up! She's my hero of the week!

Little Miss Heirlooms Giveaway: vote on your gift pick!

Our friend Madeline is turning 3!



This poll is in conjunction with a giveaway on the wonderful Little Miss Heirlooms blog. Your vote on this will count as one entry in the contest! (Please go to her post for full contest details.) the Outfit will give two winners a $25 gift certificate for use in our e-store or at one of our local boutique events!

So, back to this poll. We need your help! What would you give a 3 year old who is full of energy, loves pigeons, is always smiling, and enjoys her music loud?

Here are my top picks from the Outfit e-store:

1. She's pretty as a picture, so the frame tee is suiting.


2. She's being primed to excel at games, so this tic tac toe set would be fitting.


3. She will look just as darling as she is talented helping her very artistic mom and dad wearing this art smock.


Those are my top three picks, but I'm open to suggestions. Please look at all of our gift ideas here, and vote on what you think Madeline would love most!

Thank you to Little Miss Heirlooms for hosting this fantastic giveaway! Be sure to read her blog post about this giveaway to find out additional ways to be entered to win! You'll love looking through her blog, too, it's a great read.

Thanks!

Diapers on the site! Yay!

All In One cloth diapers are the perfect introduction to cloth diapering. Such a good introduction, in fact, you’ll never need a different diaper!

These diapers are all one piece, no stuffing, pinning, or covers are needed. Just put it on baby, wash, and use again!

Give your baby a stash of beautiful, economical, absorbent, leak-proof modern cloth diapers that are effective, save money, and are fun to use! Eli Monster cloth diapers have a soft suedecloth interior that wicks moisture away from baby’s skin, a super absorbant microcloth internal soaker, a waterproof PUL layer and an extremely cute print outer layer. Aplix (Velcro) closures give diapers almost unlimited flexibility in fit (they even have some extra loop tape to one flap for those ultra-skinny babies). Incredibly easy to use; these diapers can be called “daddy proof.”

This is a trim-fitting diaper, not bulky or thick. I have used these diapers for my kiddo and love how easy they are to use, and how super-cute they are!

If you would like additional information on cloth diapers, please email me at WeAreTheOutfit @gmail.com for an e-brochure that has lots of useful information.

To purchase, go here.

Mark your datebook: Photo Session @ the Outfit!

We're so happy to have Zoom Theory Photography in the store on Saturday, October 17th, from 12-6.

This is the perfect opportunity to get your kiddos pictured in that home-made Halloween costume (or, ahem, the Batman PJ's he may insist on...) or even a cutie portrait for the annual Holiday Card!

Zoom Theory also specializes in pet portraits, please feel free to bring Fido.

Sessions are discounted to only $25, and if you spend $25 in the store, with either theOutfit or The Kids Are Alright, Zoom Theory will throw in a free 5x7. Additional prints can be purchased directly from Zoom Theory. You can get a new little something just for the photo shoot!

The Kids Are Alright just got in some beautiful new jewelry and casual but elegant clothing for a fall-tastic look.

See you there!!

Plushkins - a four inch cube of cute

Ashley lives and works in Garden Grove, CA, where she hand-makes these darling plushkins!
The animals are all 4" cubes.

The animal Plushkins are perfect for babies who are learning to grab, sort and toss.

Please support our grieving neighbors

If you live in the area, you've seen the roadside memorial set up at Redondo Ave & 10th. This is just blocks from our home, so I see it daily, and am reminded, daily, of a loss of a beautiful young life. It is saddening, and even more maddening.

A little girl named Kaylee and her brother Oscar were hit by a drunk driver in their wagon, and Kaylee died in the accident. The local organization We Love LB blogged about a fund set up for the family, and gave a detailed account of the accident. Read it here and if you choose to make a donation to the family, you can do that through that post as well.

Our prayers for comfort are with the Alvarez family.
