Fashion (12334)

P11418039.jpgThere is something absolutely adorable about toddler jewelry. I used to make jewelry to go with my outfits when I was doing customs on eBay, but when I began manufacturing for Pixyworld I had to simplify things for awhile, and I miss the jewelry!

I bought this sweet silver ring recently for my preschooler, from Overstock.com, and she just loves it. It fits perfectly on her little ring finger, even though she is so small. (A size 1 actually exists -- who knew??)

I do have to help her keep track of

Kids' Fashion Photography

cool funky baby & toddler girls' outfitsIt's so difficult with little kids to get everything right in a photo. I'm impressed with Melanie Reyes' work here, in a recent photo shoot for Pixyworld.

boutique baby clothesShe gets the most of the details of the clothing, while still getting a cute smile. I'm a sucker for a twirly dress, and she even got a little twirl into the photo!

Hats off to you photographers -- without you, there would be no online shopping!

Little Kid/Big Kid -- and in beTween

If I've heard it once, I've heard it 100 times -- Pixyworld needs to add bigger sizes. Moms want it, girls want it. So this season we're adding sizes 6 and 7.

There is an age, though, where kids stop wearing matched sets. Not that all kids wore them before that age -- but they definitely go from cool to uncool somewhere around age 7. Funny, isn't it?

My two boys, 9 and 7, have made the transition. Now they don't just not match -- they usually clash. Boys' athletic clothes are sold as separates, fo

Overseas Manufacturing: Pros and Cons

Pixyworld is dipping its toes into the deep waters of overseas manufacturing. We're starting with one collection, as an experiment, this season. Amazingly enough, we found a factory that is willing to come low on minimums and even make one fabric in an extremely small quantity.

But there's more to overcome than high minimums. How about shipping cost -- not just shipping for the product, but back and forth for sample fabric, patterns, samples, & counter-samples!! Using a courrier service like FedE

Cutting Costs on Fashion Business Expenses

I'm starting this blog post because I was just so IRRITATED at how freakin expensive the fashion business is. Or rather how expensive the business of fashion is. I'm not so much talking about product costs - but after you have your line. The marketing, the prototypes for the next line, the supplies for printing cartridges of all things!I just saw a posting about a girl simply asking about fabrics and people gave links to the fabric sourcing show, fabric store links - I didn't even scroll down fu

Fashion Copyright Infringement

Fashion copyright infringement is an interesting topic that I think we should all learn more about. In the fashion industry, so much has already been done. At what point can a company claim that "they did it first". In all honesty, I do not really fully understand the rules. For example, if I create a long sleeve t-shirt and make one sleeve red and the other sleeve black, can I copyright that design. Does that mean no one else can make a long sleeve t-shirt with one sleeve black and one sleeve r

While enjoying on a sea beach in spring, we all know that swimming and sunbathing are not the last things we crave for. Undoubtedly, buying and wearing a befitting beach wear only never gives your 'beach fashion sense' a finishing touch. There is more to it.So the next time you plan a trip to a sea beach nearby, never forget to include a comfortable, colorful and cozy beach footwear in your 'beach luggage.' Because you also need to walk,stroll,run, and play over there, not only swim and bath as

The Idea for Pink Jungle

cool funky baby & toddler girls' outfitsThe popularity of animal print fabrics in women's apparel seemed like an opportunity for Pixyworld to do something trendy and yet fun and kid-friendly for little girls. My daughters love to see character on their clothing, and while I had not considered this look fashionable before, their enthusiasm put it in a new light for me.

Putting monkeys on the lower part of the dress and the jeans legs felt like unique twist, rather than simply slapping them on the chest of a tee-shirt. Then, I searched f
