MK Giveaway:: Snicklefritz Kids {CLOSED}

Giveaways

ALAS, THIS GIVEAWAY IS OVER. THANK YOU FOR PLAYING!

Yowza, friends–we have a humdinger of a prize for y’all this week. Fresh off the awesomeness of our little Mother’s Day giveaway, we give you this: a $50 gift certificate to online kiddo boutique, Snicklefritz!

And trust me, this is a very very good thing. Because Snicklefritz has AMAZING goodies for boys and girls at great prices to boot! Katie Dissler, the mastermind behind this adorable little nook of the Web has curated a wonderfully charming mix of clothes that pretty much guarantee that you’ll find something divine every time you go there.

But first, we sat down with the Divine Ms.Katie to chat about Snicklefritz and her cozy world over Web malted milkshakes while getting pedicures. (It’s too hot for tea, don’t you think?) But first I must show you how button cute Katie is. And with her equally cute husband too.

I don’t know what I love more, Katie and her hubs sassy style or the fact that this pic was taking in a LIBRARY!!

MK: Darling, I love your store! But tell me what is with that giggly fun name?

Katie: Our name came about because I live in Pennsylvania Dutch country and my grandpa (grampsie, as we like to call him) called all the grand kids ‘snicklefritz’ growing up… among other names, haha…I still don’t know what a ‘nix nooks’ is… Anyway, in PA Dutch it means a mischievous child… and I kind of liked that because most of my greatest memories of childhood growing up involved some kind of mischief! I really want all the clothes in our shop to reflect that too… I’m not looking to stock regular old play clothes or boring pastels (although there’s a time and a place for everything!)… We’re looking for clothes that fun and fashionable little snicklefritzes would wear!

MK: I love it! And I”m so bringing that back “snicklefritz” into every day vocabulary. People, you’ve been warned…  BTWs, I love your selection of boyswear. Those ties from Urban Sunday and the Knucklehead rompers–I die!

MK: I also adore your goodies for girls too. Such sweet dresses. Clearly it helps when you have your own little girl yes? Please see picture of Annie, being very snicklefritzy below…

Katie: I love dressing Annie, and I love when people say, ‘OH.MY.GARSH! That outfit is too darn cute’!!! Because, let’s face it… we all love a cute kid… but I think mostly we love when people squeal about our cute kid!! (At least I do, is that bad?) Well, Snicklefritz Kids is here to make people squeal and coo over your kid! That’s our main goal. Well, not really the main one but… ok nevermind, it is…

MK: You pick great stuff for the kiddos.  They have such a great vintage feel. It is clear to me that you love the vintage, yes?  And girl, you didn’t tell me you also sold VINTAGE at your shop too?!?! Color me sold!

Katie: Oh yes! I’ve always had an itch for all things vintage… any my mom thought I was crazy for wanting to wear her old bell bottoms in elementary school before they were back in style… Needless to say, all of our clothes have a vintage, retro feel to them (some even are vintage!) and we LOVE bright colors. I am also mama to my own little snicklefritz, named Annie… she is 1 and obviously is my number one source of inspiration because she is just that amazing!

Katie, you are adorable and your shop is too!  And we want you to fall in love with this dandy shop too!

PAUL FRANK + Friends Giveaway :: For the Mamas! {CLOSED}

Giveaways


We’ve already had some pretty amazing Giveaways this year….we’re still a little high off our Misha Lulu glow. But it’s the kiddo’s who always benefit from these giveaways, isn’t it? Soooooo even though Paul Frank makes some preeety rad duds for the little ones (under their Small Paul and Paul Frank for Target lables) we decided to put together a little something for the mamas! It *is* Mother’s Day, after all!

PAUL FRANK BAD MAMA JAMA CARE PACKAGE

Friends, I gotta say we love the Paul Frank here at Modern Kiddo. They’ve been sassing up our kids’ closets and nighttime ensembles for years. But the fine folks at Paul Frank know that mama likes to be just as cozy as her kiddos. So they have created a line of oh-so-cozy comfy pjs for the ladies! They have draw string jammies, sleep shawties and darling robes that are perfect for lounging around your pad or making waffles on a Sunday morning. This Ultimate Paul Frank Jammie Care Package will include an assortment of Paul Frank jammies for you to lounge the day away in! Watch out…yer kiddos might get a wee bit jealous.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! We each decided to add in a little sumpthin’ else, jussst to sweeten the deal.

ALIX’S PICK! FRESH SUGAR LYCHEE  GIFT SET.

ALIX: Fresh is hands down, the maker of my favorite fragrances. Their scents are light, pretty and well….FRESH! You can spritz ’em all over and they never smell cloying. I always get compliments when I wear them, so I’m thrilled we’re including this sweet little Sugar Delight set in our giveaway. This rad lotion/perfume combo was recently featured on Kaboodle’s Pampering Presents Mom Will Love gift guide. The set includes one creamy body lotion and a travel-size roller perfume, perfect for tucking in your purse. Both are in one of my favorite scents—Sugar Lychee, a juicy mix of lychee, bright grapefruit, and lotus flower. It’s not overly sweet, just super lovely! Both products use deliciously natural ingredients. Seriously, you’ll love this! Courtesy of the awesome Kaboodle!

DOTTIE’S PICK! SUGAR & SPICE RETRO APRONS!


DOTTIE: I gotta tell you, I’m so excited to have Sugar and Spice as part of our giveaway! Nobody loves a good apron like I do and these pretty-as-punch aprons actually cover your chest—no more spills when firing up that mixer! But most importantly, they are stunning. I would happily wear them beyond the kitchen! In fact, I’m going to buy one right now for the upcoming Tupperware party I’m hosting with Karen Finlay next month! The winner of this giveaway will get a $20 gift certificate to Sugar and Spice…but here’s a little secret, ALL Modern Kiddo readers can get 15% off thru this Sunday. Thanks Danielle!

Another Fabulous MK Giveaway :: Misha Lulu!

Giveaways, ,

Hoo boy!  This is one of those times when I wish I could win our giveaway because its for this insane-in-the-membrane little dressie from our new favorite kiddo designer, Misha Lulu. Presenting the “Red Sea Dress”!

Amazing, no? Karen Salazar and her husband Joe are the masterminds behind this gem of a design line. This is a lady I want to have drinks with. Like, really good drinks involving high quality liquor.

Clearly this retro-inspired design line is a family affair. Oh, and what a cutie family too!

I sat down for a little e-chat with Karen, the creative mastermind behind  Misha Lulu.

MK: What inspired you to start this wonderful line of girl’s clothing?

Karen: First of all it was my daughter Bela—our muse. The thought of being able to be at home and spend more time with her was very appealing. Next it was the love of everything retro. My husband and I love to collect vintage children’s book illustrations, so that is also a big inspiration. They bring back many fond memories from our
childhood. (MK: clearly, we need to hang out!)  Finally we just wanted to be able to do something on our own that we could hopefully pass down to Bela.

MK: You call this a family affair—can you tell me how everyone is involved with your product line?

Karen: Usually I come up with the concepts or sometimes Bela is interested in something that will give me my inspiration. Then my husband and I start brainstorming  and both of us will start sketching out our ideas.  From there we will refine the graphics we like and we both art direct each other.  We wear many hats in this company and we have to multi task constantly.

MK: But I bet they are fabulous hats!

Karen: Ha ha! Indeed! Also, my mom hand paints the aprons and Joe’s mom does crochet bows and hats that we offer for Fall. Bela is also involved by getting her hands into anything she can.

MK: I love it!  Go Grandmas! That might be the best thing I’ve ever heard about any fashion line EVER!  But I must ask one last question—what is your favorite item in this line?

Karen: I really like the “Click” dress, I love this mod silhouette and I adore stripes. This is a dress that I would definitely wear.

MK: Mod! Stripes! Karen, honey, you are speaking our language! Sigh, will you be our BFF? And make clothes in mama sizes? Hee hee! Thank you Karen!

So, now you see why we are so mad crushing on the Salazar family and the awesomeness that is Misha Lulu!

And why we are just tickled pink to offer you this gorgeous Red Sea dress for any little girl from the sizes 12 months to size 6. Amazing.
