High Maintenance Mom

It's approaching all too quickly. Back to school shopping. Girls clothes that looked good on your daughters in May now are too tight, too worn, or if your daughter is like mine, stained. Even though it seems like summer vacation just started, it will be just a memory all too soon.

Skip the long, hot, shopping trip to the mall and select the latest in girls back to school clothes online.

Tankini, one piece or bikini? Mom's have a decision to make when their daughters are choosing girls swimsuits. Designers such as Kate Mack and Banana Cabana create cute swimwear in all three styles. Older girls often have a strong preference, while babies seem to feel most comfortable in one piece or tankinis.

A good friend of mine introduced me to Gloucester Oneseas (http://www.gloucesteroneseas.com) recently and I was impressed with both the clothing and the cause they promote. My daughter loves her star fish t-shirt and my son's organic blue fish onesea is a hit. Just in time for summer the web site has adorable sea life inspired shirts and oneseas. But most of all I love that this company has decided to team up with The Ocean Project (http://www.theoceanproject.org) and donate a portion of all sales to the organization. The Ocean Project is an international network of aquariums, zoos, museums and conservation organizations. They work to educate their visitors of the important role each person plays in conserving the plant. Check out Gloucester Oneseas for their fun summer t's and oneseas and your kids can wear the clothes knowing they helped mother earth.

Shopping for clothing for a tween girl can be difficult for both mom and tween. Time spent going from store to store, and agreeing on the right clothing for the occasion often causes stress for shoppers. Luckily, online boutiques can take away a lot of that stress. At LaBella Flora Childrens Boutique the girls designer clothing brand Flowers by Zoe appeals to moms and tweens alike.

It's so much fun to shop for baby gifts. For baby girls, spring and summer brings the cutest styles. Feminine laces, delicate bows, rosettes, and crochet are trendy trims in layettes this season. Rompers, baby clothes and matching blankets are appreciated gifts.

Baby girls clothes have come a long way from the white diaper and matching tee shirt, topped with a flannel receiving blanket. Trendy style for todays baby girls include amazing animal prints done in pink hues, embellishments such as sequins, ribbons, embroidery, and crochet trim. Designer baby clothes from Baby Nay, Cach Cach and Bebemonde all feature these trends.

Girls love to wear trendy pettiskirts. With layer upon layer of soft nylon tulle and trimmed with rosettes, pettiskirts by Oopsy Daisy are popular with the size 12 month to size 7 set. Seen on child stars such as DaKota Fanning, pettiskirts are so fun to wear.

Both trendy and traditional styles will be popular in girls holiday dresses this year. From Biscotti Dresses , a boutique girls clothing designer, trendy styles include the beautiful color combinations of chocolate brown and soft pink. Traditional influences combine with trendy touches in updated girls dress styles by Bebemonde.

At Labella Flora Childrens Boutique the summer clearance sale is in full force. Toddler girls clothing from quality designers such as Baby Nay, Indygo Artwear and Chicken Noodle combine style with quality that you'll both love. For big girls the trendy designer Lipstik Girls has created over the top embellishments and fabrics that girls love to wear.
