RSVP for Tuesday #gno Twitter Party to Chat Back-to-School Shopping

Jyl Johnson Pattee — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:25:51 +0000

If you’re anything like I was as a kid, new clothing for back-to-school was the highlight of summer. I always went for the cutest clothes that reflected my personality and made me feel confident heading back into the classroom. Now, as a parent, while I dread the chaos of long lines and navigating the mall parking lot, I still love the excitement of back to school and spending time getting my kids ready for the year.

The great thing about shopping nowadays is that you can accomplish a lot online. You and your kids can peruse through tons of clothes online with various styles and designs that reflect your child’s interests and personality – sure to get them excited to strut their stuff all the way to their classrooms. So what are the hot clothing items for your kids this season? And what does your child REALLY look for when selecting a new tee or hoodie?

Party Topic

This Tuesday, join the #gno Twitter party from 9-11 ET (8-10 CT, 7-9 MT, 6-8 PT) with Threadless Kids and chat about back-to-school, your child’s personal style, shopping trends and more for the upcoming school year.

Be sure to click here to check out this week’s giveaway where you can enter for a chance to win one of FIVE $50 gift certificates to Threadless Kids, a new kids’ t-shirt line from crowdsourcing poster child Threadless.

Giveaway—Enter to Win $200 in Shoes & Ice Cream From Famous Footwear!

Jyl Johnson Pattee — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 08:01:18 +0000

Did you know that two things most all women share is their love of shoes and ice cream? Famous Footwear blends these two ingredients together on its site Make Today Unexpected, which gives us women the chance to discover our style and flavor in a most unexpected way.

I just went there, took a short quiz, and found out my personal ice cream flavor is “Double Bubble Sorbet,” which means that I have the following ingredients: “tons of fun, a few rays of sunshine, a little bliss, some flirtatiousness, vivacity, brightness, and spunk.” Who knew? LOL!

I can’t wait to hear what your flavor is when you enter this stylish, not to mention FABULOUS, giveaway!
