CONGRATULATIONS Liz!!!!! You are officially the proud owner of this rockin’ bag that I have been eyeing for the past week and a half as it sits in its luxurious Kate Spade box in the corner of my office!!! (I can’t lie, I’m totally jealous….)  I think you MUST take a picture of yourself with the bag when it arrives so we can all see! Whoo hoo!

I think someone is having a VERY happy Monday.

Thank you so much to everyone who entered. This was the biggest, baddest most rockin-est giveaway we have ever done and we’re SOO thrilled you all loved it as much as we did! Winner selected via Random.org. And yeah. We just might do it again some day.

Happy Sunday!

Month of Color

Mmm color. I love these muted tones….sometimes subtle color can be even more powerful and emotional than big ol bright pops of color, ya know?

The weather out here is GORGEOUS. Like, in the 70s, sunny, I can’t bear to stay inside gorgeous. My parents are in town visiting, so I’m pushing the Kate Spade bag winner announcement to tomorrow (eep!!) and I didn’t post the Friday Link Hootenanny yesterday because honestly, sometimes ya just gotta close that computer and get outside and enjoy life!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who commented so fabulously and gave us such wonderful feedback throughout our Month of Color. I have to say, it’s been SO much fun! We just may have to make this an annual tradition, whaddya say?? We still have one more day left this month, so expect a few more colorful posts. But who are we kidding? I think this whole experience has just  made me determined to make every day as colorful as can be!

Hope you’re having an awesome Sunday my friends!

Giveaway #2: COLORED SKINNIES // Giveaway CLOSED.

Giveaways


I know, I know. Aren’t we already giving away an insane Kate Spade Handbag? (Yes we ARE. And you have til this evening to enter!) But it just wouldn’t be a Month of Color on Modern Kiddo if we didn’t do something for those little peeps in your life. And since the month is ending verrry soon, we wanted to go out with a bang. We are SO excited to be giving away a $50 Gift Certificate to the always awesome and colorful Polarn O. Pyret!

As you probably know by now, Swedish brand Polarn O. Pyret is one of our very favorites. Their clothing is classic, with fresh looks, bold colors and of course those signature stripes. It’s children’s clothing meant for everyday use, duds that will stand up for many playdates and walks thru rainy puddles. BUT in addition to being awesomely practical…..they are also really stylish! PoP was waaaaay ahead of the colored jean trend and their version is super comfy! You can use your $50 Gift Certificate for anything you want, but we highly recommend THE COLORED SKINNIES!

 

Colorful, fun, and ready for action! The sizes range from 2 years to 11 years and come in a bunch of awesome colors. Something to note: skinny jeans for kids aren’t like skinny jeans for adults. They are cut slimmer overall, but don’t worry, they aren’t mega tight.  Polarn O. Pyret’s skinnies are 97% cotton with 3% lycra for addedstretch, so your kidlets will still be able to run, jump and play a mean game of kickball on the playground! In addition to being crazy stylish, colored jeans make it easy to spot your wandering kiddo in a crowd. They have become a bit of a signature piece for Wolfie—he thinks the bright colors just look happier than regular jeans and who am I to disagree??

Let’s Go Shopping :: Sponsor Love

Sponsored Post

We here at Modern Kiddo are pretty darn lucky to have such amazing people to work with us as sponsors. They are all such a creative and colorful bunch—we consider ourselves truly truly lucky.  I know you’ll adore them as much as we do!

1. STOP THE CLOCK VINTAGE

Stop the Clock is nestled in the foothills of Denver, CO and delivers an eclectic mix of hand-selected vintage wares for kiddos AND their parents! As if I didn’t love Stop the Clock Vintage enough.Yes, her prices are great, but she had me at this:

Look, folks, a pink fur coat for a toddler with two little duckies on it. Anyone who finds this and lists it for a mere $20, has to be an amazing person.RIGHT?

2. FUZZY MAMA VINTAGE

Oh Fuzzymama Vintage, how much I adore you! Your amazing vintage kiddo finds and great prices have made you one of my favorite Etsy seller for years.  And soo many of your goodies are under $10! You can’t beat that.

3. 1 SWEET DREAM VINTAGE

With almost 200 vintage items for children, 1 Sweet Dream Vintage  is one sweet Etsy shop!  You could seriously spend an hour looking through all of the wonderful items—I dare you not to buy something! There is even a five dollar sale section, so I’m sure you’ll find something fun to take home for your wee one!

4. ELK DRESSES

Super creative stay at home mama Marjory is the brains behind elk, an amazing line of beautiful and colorful dresses, leggings and skirts out of the softest jersey cotton.  She even makes little ruffly knickers for little cutie girlies can wear. I’m particularly head over heels for these three tiered color wheel skirts. Sigh!

5. LEARN & GROW DESIGN

As a mama always looking for new ways to find fun and educational things for the Peach to do, Learn and Grow Design  is going to save me one Saturday.  Shauna used to be a 4th grade school teacher and even ran her own preschool, so she knows her stuff. I’m particularly fond of the puppet print outs. And almost all of them are under $4.00! That’s cheaper than an ice cream cone (or a latte)!

6. SQRL & BEE STUDIO

I have such a weakness for felted goodies and Melissa from Sqrl & Bee Studio has created some of the prettiest pieces around. Her style is so gorgeous. And these beautiful rattles! I think this is going to be my new go to place for baby shower gifts.

What a collection! That’s just a taste of ’em. We adore our sponsors and hope you’ll check them out too. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, email Alix [at] modernkiddo.com and she’ll shoot you a rate sheet. Happy shopping!
