Zappos.com items<\/em><\/p>\n

I can hardly believe that the summer is almost over and school will be starting in around two weeks. Have you already done your \u201cBack to School\u201d shopping yet? We have already bought all of the school supplies, but I have not purchased one item of clothing for the boys yet.\u00a0 In my mind, I was planning on shopping after camp ends this Saturday.\u00a0 It turns out that we\u2019re going camping as a family next week (yay!) so I\u2019m going to have to hurry up and get a move on it.\u00a0 Fortunately, I attended a few blogging events over the last couple of weeks that have provided some direction for when I\u2019m ready to break out my wallet\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2013T.J. Maxx<\/a> and Marshalls:<\/a><\/strong> Fellow blogger Audrey McClellan (of Mom Generations<\/a>) hosted an informative event for these stores (which happen to be two of my favorite off-price retailers).\u00a0 I like a good deal\u2026especially for kids\u2019 clothes since they tend to grow out of them so quickly.\u00a0 With prices up to 60 percent less than department or specialty stores (for the exact same items), these two stores should be at the top of every budget-conscious mom\u2019s shopping list!<\/p>\n

-*Amazon Kids\u2019 Boutique<\/a>:<\/strong> Amazon.com has several cute outfits for both boys and girls at their kids\u2019 boutique.\u00a0 I especially liked this classic little sweater for boys from Tea Collection.<\/p>\n

\u2013Zappos.com<\/a>:<\/strong> My friend Nicole (of MomTrends) hosted a fun \u201cBack to School\u201d themed event last week where I learned more about Zappos clothing division.\u00a0 I am already a huge fan of their shoe selection. (When Michael was younger, he had extra-wide feet and Zappos.com was one of the few places where I could constantly find cute shoes in his sizes.\u00a0 Fortunately, his feet are normal now, but I will always remember the great service that I received from Zappos!)<\/p>\n

Several of the fall trends for kid clothing were discussed at the event.\u00a0 The boho style, flared jeans, pops of color and stripes are popular for girls.\u00a0 On the other end of the spectrum, shiny, pink, sparkles, florals, polka dots and \u201cprincess\u201d styled clothing and shoes are in demand.\u00a0 (There were some really cute Bella Ballerina Skechers that had all of the grown women \u201coohing\u201d and \u201caahing\u201d.)\u00a0 On the boys\u2019 front, pops of color, cargos, layered shirts, distressed denim, desert boots and mixing prints\/\u201dno rules\u201d were featured.<\/p>\n

I must say that the most coveted item when I returned home from the event was the spiky MadPax <\/a>backpack. Sean loved it the most, so he gets to keep it.<\/p>\n

In any event, there are a lot of choices out there \u2013 both online and off.\u00a0 Just in case you have missed something during your shopping trips, one Foodie City Mom newsletter subscriber will win a $50 gift card to be used at Amazon Kids\u2019 Boutiqu<\/a>e.\u00a0 To win, simply let me know the name of the item in the boutique that you would purchase in the \u201cComments\u201d section below by noon on 9\/15. Good luck!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to all of the brands and event hostesses for the information and the gift items that were handed out at each event!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
