Nothing beats stripes in the summertime - especially in this mix of pinks, orange, yellow, and hits of purple and blue. Throw a cardigan on top on cooler days *ahem, June!* and pair with sandals, sneakers, or flip-flops, but even bare feet will do. It's easy machine-wash cotton, which wears well … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 8th, 2013
I find Old Navy to be rather hit-or-miss from season to season... I haven't bought much for my son from there in a few years, but it's been my huckleberry for this girl so far. And thanks to all those terrific online-shopping rebates and such, I've been able to pick up a clutch of sundresses for … [Read more...]

Let's go, SPRING!! I did some online shopping last month, in anticipation of the warmer weather, and finally being able to put away all the wintry wollens and such... and as of last weekend, we're all exercising our right to bare arms. Witness: the sleeveless shirtdress. When I open the shipment, … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 9th, 2013
While looking for tights for this girl several weeks back, I popped into a store I don't normally frequent, desperate in my search. It's a based-in-Quebec chain called Souris Mini (Mini Mouse). I confess that I find their stuff a little too... Idunnowhat... for my kids. I find many of the patterns … [Read more...]
Last Minute Valentine’s Day Dash Through the Mall
This is it, T minus 48 hours until Cupid's day. It's a little anti-climatic celebrating this day of love so soon after celebrating the day of pancakes (Mardi Gras for the win!), but it seems inappropriate to ignore it completely. If you're still looking for some gift ideas to tell that certain … [Read more...]
Checking out a new Style-tastic look!
I can vividly remember my first OLD NAVY experience in Chicago 12 years ago. Hubby and I pushing the baby stroller down the street one summer's day heading to this massive warehouse sized store that was filled to the brim with colourful clothes. It was always a fun place to shop for quality fashion … [Read more...]
Holiday Fashion Trends at Old Navy & An Event and a Contest You Don’t Want to Miss!
I don't have much a of a social life these days, but my calendar is jam packed. I've got "Parents Night Out" for my son's baseball team at a local restaurant, "Secondary School Information Night" at another son's school on Tuesday, and "Big Night Out: Mardi Gras Style" at my daughter's school on … [Read more...]

I added this darling purple plaid shirt with the turquoise thread running through it to my cart the last time I ordered some kid stuff from Old Navy online, along with this stuff, and these tights (which are freaking adorable, like whoa). Old Navy has been good to us this fall - and you can't beat … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 18th, 2012
I like to shop online so I can get the sizes I want - it vexes me to spend my precious time running downtown to hit a store with NONE of the sizes I need. Grrrr... But the trouble with shopping online is not knowing how an item is going to really look in advance. What colour is it exactly? That's … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 17th, 2012
First of all, I can't believe this tutu is still in rotation - it's sized 12 - 18 months, but it didn't even start to fit her properly until she was close to three years of age. It's one of her favourites because it's all swishy. It's one of my favourites because it's good ol' basic grey. It's … [Read more...]
