A Shopping Spree for the Little Lady

I've been in the Philippines and Singapore for the last 3 weeks visiting family.  I will definitely post recaps of my trips when I am back but this was too good not to share right away.

 While casually browsing at the malls here in Manila, I came across a children's clothing store called "Gingersnaps".  My mom and I oohed and aahed our way through the entire girls section (unfortunately, the boys section left a lot to be desired) and ended up with a whole new wardrobe for A.  The pint-sized clothes are chic and trendy but with the right amount of cute, making them perfectly toddler appropriate!

 And the shoes....ugh! The Shoes!! If only I had an extra suitcase, I would have bought them all!  I was dying to get her a pair of sandals but since summer is almost over in Chicago, I had to stop myself and that definitely warrants a sad face. :(  

 Here are the 2 pairs we ended up with.  I have a hard time finding cute and affordable ballet flats for A stateside.  She'll wear the silver tipped shoes the rest of the summer/fall and will grow into the chanel-inspired flats come winter/spring. 

 Modelling a giant bow dress (giant bows were big on the Spring/Summer 2010 runways) and the silver tipped shoes.  And Hello! Who doesn't love an exposed zipper these days??

 An adorable graphic print T...wish I had the SLR to better show off the shirt!

 Aren't these soo Crewcut-esque (J.Crew's kids line) but without the hefty price tag!

 Pretty flouncy top with the itty bitty-est est sailor shorts I ever did see!

There are several more I wasn't able to take pics of yet.  Sigh...I will have to add "Gingersnaps" to the list of things I will miss in Manila (right next to $7 massages and Summer Palace dimsum).
