A GIngersnaps Kind of Day
Gingersnaps has always been known not only for its charming and quality apparel for kids and expectant momsbut also for its creatively themed and pretty displays.This season, I found their display absolutely charming as they used these Little Golden Books as accents. (Gary and I actually collect books just like these from our own childhood!)I knew my little one would love these wrap around sandalsand she would also probably want to add this piece to her collection of dog tees.I also loved this one for her because I have a similar blouse and we would look nice in complementing outfitsBUT the trying-to-be progressive mom in me said I can hold off on the shopping and wait till she was with me so she can make her own choices.So, after a few days, I was able to schedule a trip to the Gingersnaps store together. Just like me, she was initially overwhelmed upon seeing so many cute pieces specially from their latest line of Aztec-inspired prints like this oneI tried my best to step back and allowed her to make her choicesHer facial expression seems to say: "Moooom....stop hovering..." (heehee)We both admired this super pretty pink textured dress that greeted us at the entranceshe even zeroed in on the necklace...Reese declared the necklace would be "perfect for her because (she) is a traveler". Aba.:)I just love how the layered tops and the accessories to match! And lookie at the printed floral jeans in this set!Eventually she chose these adorable outfits:Casual DenimSmart & Girly DressAztec CoolOkay, okay, I managed to sneak in one of my own selections (just one!), but she was not too fond of it (as you can see very clearly in this forced shot...) Note to self: Nice try, mom!Still very cute though, dont' you think?Overall it was a perfect afternoon. Mom was happy with little girl's choices since the store was filled with all good selections anyway. Daughter enjoyed the independence given to her that day and she came home with what she really wanted.That's what I call a win-win kind-of-day and thank you Gingersnaps for making it easy and fun for us both!For more info on Gingersnaps, follow them on Facebook or visit their website at www.gingersnaps.com.ph.
