Do you ever feel like the clothing you see at fashion shows is “over the top” and ridiculous? Well, I attended one recently, hosted by PARKFAMILY and [pre]shrunk at Southcentre Mall, and really liked a lot of what I saw on the runway. And, can I just say, the kids in the show were adorable!

Dear Daughter, you want to wear what??

I received this question from a reader the other day about girls and clothing. I thought it would make a great topic for a blog post because, honestly, it’s something I’ve struggled with too.

Girls and body image: one size does not fit all

Join Ivivva’s Girl Crew program

Are your girls obsessed with Ivivva clothing? My daughter lives in this stuff. Almost every day she wears something from Ivivva – whether it’s comfy leggings and a long sleeve tee to school or booty shorts (yes, that’s a thing) and a sports bra to dance.

How to save money by shopping consignment with your teens

As the youngest in a family of three girls, I grew up wearing my sisters’ clothes. Whether it was a prom dress, dance costume or a pair of Peter Pan Getaway Boots (can you believe we wore those?), I never questioned my mother when she insisted that I share clothes with my sisters.

Fashion illustrations make a great gift for girls

When it comes to gift giving for teens and tweens, I tend to lean towards practical gifts, like a gift card to a store that you know they love. In recent years, we’ve also enjoyed giving experiences to special friends – like tickets to a concert or taking a friend to an attraction or theme park.

Athleta Girl offers comfortable and stylish clothing for active girls

Athleta is one of my favorite places to buy work out clothes, so you can imagine how excited I was to learn that the store now has a line of active wear for young girls.
