say whuuuut?

Stella McCartney just put out a line of kids clothes through the Gap?? Seriously? That's pretty dope, actually. I've been really loving the stuff she'd done with Adidas so I wasn't the least bit surprised to see that I thought this stuff was super cute, too (though I kind of wish she had gone further outside the "Gap" box. I feel like a lot of this could have found it's way there regardless of her involvement.) Personally, I'm feeling partial to this pretty purple frock, though I couldn't justify the price tag, considering it's for a FOUR year old. But hey, if you've got the coin, knock yourself out. Who would YOU like to see whipping up a kit for your kid? And as a side note: Man would I ever have loved to have seen that little dress this summer when I was looking for flower girl dresses. It would've matched my sis' moh dress PERFECTLY!

freeeeeee!

So this morning, my buddy Jo called me up to ask me if I had heard of this Swap 'n Shop hosted by a church in the city, and well, nope, I hadn't... Apparently everything was FREE. Not just cheap, but FREE. So without further provocation I brushed my teeth and we were on the road. After standing in the rain in the wind for half an hour in a ridiculous line up (seriously, we do NOT live near a particularly large city, but there had to be well over a hundred vehicles there already!) we finally made it inside to experience the total mayhem that is hundreds of people being offered stuff for free! At about the twenty minute mark I heard one of the girls at the door announce "528" as the total of people through the door so far... yeah, it was nuts! But so SO worth it once we started to figure things out (where things were, what to avoid, etc.) On top of a pile of perfectly great kids clothes for my monster AND a neat stack of books, I also came away with everything you see below (ok, not really. But versions there of anyways!) Can you believe I got all of that for FREE! And the best part: they host this thing every six months! I can't wait to go back. Do YOU know of any great local resources that folks should know about?
