The Latest From Lester’s

Our back-to-school blowout may be over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still share awesome products that help make school easier, any time of year! 

As a self-confessed shopaholic, it would only make sense that I become familiar with all of the retail stores, both offline and on.  If you’re not familiar with Lester’s, “an iconic retail institution in the NY Metro area for over 60 years” then I hope you’ll take this chance to see what they are all about!

Lester's, has been operating in the New York Metro area for 60+ years and in edition to it’s flagship store in  Brooklyn, Lester’s now also operates in Manhattan, Long Island, Westchester and Deal, NJ.  In 1948, Lester and Lillian Kronfeld proved that they had the fight formula for success with Lester’s gift of gab combined with his business savvy and Lillian’s eye for fashion.  With their children Sheri and Perry and nephew Barry run the ship, Lester’s is still a family affair.

Lester’s carries a variety of women’s, junior’s and children’s clothing by some of the hottest brands including; 7 For All Mankind, Free People and Dr Martens to name a few.  Recently I had the chance to work with Lester’s and since I’m all about shopping, I had to say yes!  For our review, Lester’s sent us the ultra cool and super fun  multicolor Pixel Moda watch. Since my ten year old Sporty Spice usually checks the time by grabbing my phone, I thought she would be the perfect person to help me review the Pixel Moda.  When it comes to trends and what’s hot in fashion, Sporty Spice is always spot on, I’m serious people, she’s usually the one in her grade who starts the trends that the other girls follow.  I knew she’d love the Pixel Moda watch simply because of how fun and playful it is and I was right…she instantly took a liking to it.   I love how colorful the watch is and  I can’t help but thinks it looks like a bunch of bright and colorful Legos. 

If you’re looking for women’s, children's or juniors clothing and accessories…make sure you check out Lester’s!

Back-to-School with Tea!

It’s time for more Back-to-School goodness—and what’s more exciting about back-to-school than shopping for new clothes?  One of my absolute favorite places to shop for my daughter Savanna for back-to-school is Tea!

 

About Tea (from the Tea website)

 

Hello world. We're Tea. Welcome to caring and creation. Discovery and exuberance. Welcome to inspiration and connection. Welcome to our world. Welcome to your world. Like you, we were born to explore it, to experience it with every bit of our souls.

We started Tea in 2002 in San Francisco with 3 beautiful, pima cotton baby sweaters and a vision of bringing the fusion of worldwide cultures and modern design to fashion.

Travel opens anyone's heart and mind to people and places that we don't know. The clothing we create at Tea transforms the foreign world into a smaller, friendlier and more familiar place. We believe that we bring a little bit of that world home to you. - Emily Meyer, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer

We design distinctive fashion collections inspired by the beauty we discover in our travels around the world. From the iconic art and architecture of Barcelona to the graphic boldness of Brazilian street graffiti, we interpret our discoveries into beautiful, dynamic styles for children, ages 0-12. We launched our women's collection in the fall of 2010 in that same spirit—easy-going, culturally-connected styles designed to fit your life.

Everything we create—our products, images, words and ideas—is inspired by going there and being here. And by our passion for exploring different cultures. We are awed by the unique beauty and diversity of people around the world. As we celebrate and share our discoveries, it reminds us how small the world is and how alike we all are.

I’ve been a big fan of Tea’s Children's Clothing for a couple of years now; I love the simplicity and quality of their clothes and my daughter loves that the clothes fit her personality perfectly!  I always enjoy looking at all of the newest styles of Baby Clothes and Boy's Clothing on Tea’s website, its so easy to find something that I know my daughter will love.  Some of my favorite items are from the new Jardin Azul line (the Marimba Mini dress below is my absolute favorite), they are just fabulous and colorful and perfect for Fall—you have to check them out!

 

 

We received a $100 Tea gift card to choose a few items for our review and my daughter wasted no time choosing the items that she wanted, of course, with all of the fabulous styles it was a little difficult for her to not want to pick everything!  In the end Savanna choose 5 items to add to her back-to-school wardrobe—wanna see?

 

 

 

This outfit is one of Savanna’s favorites and she’s pretty sure it will be her First Day outfit, I have to admit, it is pretty cute!

 

 

This shirt is my favorite of the items that Savanna chose, I love the yellow and it looks so good on her!

 

I attempted to take a few more pictures of the rest of the items Savanna chose, but my camera refused to cooperate with me and the battery died before I could get any more shots!  In addition to  adorable items above Savanna also chose the Campanillas Ruffle Top (so cute) and the Happy Hoodie in Salsa Red—all for under $100—in my book that’s a great deal! 

 

If you’re looking for a great place to buy quality, stylish Girl's Clothing for back-to-school you have to check out Tea—you will be so glad that you did!
