I’m really excited to be sharing a few brands I’m absolutely
loving right now. In order to break it
down, I’ve divided this blog into two sections:
this week I’ll be sharing some brands I love for my kids, and next week
I’ll be focusing on myself (products I’m personally using)…sometimes you have to think about yourself too.
I am definitely a huge fan of supporting local businesses
and whenever possible I try to shop locally. But occasionally I like to venture out and try other companies...and sometimes it can be such a pain! It often means dealing with higher shipping costs, exchanges/returns can be really confusing and there can even be hidden costs. I would be lying
if I said everything I’ve ever ordered had arrived on time just as I had expected, but for the most part the brands I am sharing have been tried, tested and true. I wouldn't be recommending them if I wasn't truly happy with my experiences. Let's begin...
Remie Girl
Product/Service: Clothing brand for young girls (and mommy)
I came across this company just after Christmas and since then I’ve
ordered 4 items from them (I even snagged 1 item on sale). I follow them on Instagram and their photos
are adorable. If you have a little girl
between the ages of 12 months and 10 years, then you’re going to love them
too! Their products are well made, super
comfortable, very stylish and their customer service is on point! I did have an issue with sizing but the
company dealt with it immediately. Both
my shipments arrived within a week of ordering and I wasn’t charged any
additional costs upon arrival. Items are
a little pricey, but worth it if you're using them for a special
occasion. I especially love their leotards...my oldest daughter often wears them for gymnastics and dance, and always manages to stand out because their patterns are all so beautiful and unique. One downfall is that you have to be quick with
ordering: some items sell out quickly!
They are made in limited quantities and sometimes sell within hours of
being released (depending on the size – smaller sizes in my experience are the
first to go). But still - totally worth it!

Kortni Jeane
Product/Service: Bathing suit brand for the entire fam
I have been following this company for 2 years now and
although it took me almost a year before I made my first purchase, I couldn’t
have been happier when everything arrived.
One thing I adore about Kortni Jeane is that they cater to such a wide
range of people. They literally have
hundreds of options to choose from. It’s
so easy to mix and match all the different styles and colours in order to find
your perfect combo…and if you like twinning then you’ll enjoy trying to match
your entire family! Shipping rates are reasonable, however I did have to pay additional costs for duties once my first packaged arrived (it included six items). Their sizing charts were accurate - everything seemed to fit extremely well. As for actually wearing them in the water this summer, I can hardly wait! My girls and I will most definitely be matching...it my was my oldest daughter who picked the colours!

Baby Moon Kids Apparel
Product/Service: Baby, toddler and kids clothing apparel
This soon to be mother of two started her company just after having having her first daughter. Her ultimate goal was to provide a line of clothing for little ones that moms alike would soon fall in love with. Her collection encompasses the latest trends in young children's fashion, yet for the most part she tries to stays true to comfort and practicality. I met her at a local Mama's Market last spring and I'm certainly glad I did. So many of Irelynn's adorable outfits have come from her shoppe...sometimes I wish I could just buy them all!

Royal Threads
Product/Service: Handmade Children’s Headwear (turbans, bows
and headwraps)
Last spring I was also introduced to Royal Threads and since then I have continued to purchase various items for my
youngest daughter. I particularly love
her turbans and bow headbands. My little one
actually keeps them on her head and I can’t get over how adorable she looks
when she has them on. You’re sure to
find the perfect accessory to compliment any outfit. The owner does offer a flat rate shipping fee
within Canada, but you’ll also find her at pop-up markets throughout Toronto, Vaughan,
Caledon and Newmarket.

Halo Headwear
Product/Service: Handmade hats and headbands for women and children
I've been wearing their hats and headbands since 2017 and so have both my girls. I made my first purchase at the Christmas One of a Kind Show in Toronto where I bought two hats for my youngest daughter and one for myself. When I returned to the show this past Holiday season I was really excited to see that they had also returned and even made some improvements to their products. The one thing I didn't like about my original purchases is that you couldn't remove the pompoms on the hats in order to thoroughly wash them. I was very happy to learn that this year, not only could you remove the pompoms but you could also choose the style...and I love big fluffy ones! Check out their website for how to order online or purchase at in-store locations.
