Matooka kids couture offers contemporary, sweet, stylish, cute, modest, and totally fashion forward attire that is sure to please the eyes of girls and parents alike.

Two best friends, both being mom’s of eight daughter between them teamed up together and launched Matooka in 2009 with the mission of creating a line “…that would attract girls with its fun attention to detail, and comfortable fit, but also appeal to parents with its reasonable price-points and quality make.”

We were sent the Let Loose shirt and skirt in hot pink to review. This outfit is made extremely well and it’s very soft and smooth. The outfit is adorable and it’s true to size, fitting my daughter absolutely perfectly! I love this outfit! It fits my daughter’s personality like a glove!

Matooka offers many fashion forward pieces that are sure to delight any little girl. The spring line has so many fun styles and colors that I can hardly wait to see what they will be offering for the Fall 2010 line! Clothing sizes starting at 2t!

Matooka also gives back by donating 10% of all profits to research in infertility and to families undergoing costly assisted reproductive treatments.

Buy It: You can purchase Matooka Kids Couture girl’s clothing from a number of retail locations, including online at Peachandplum.com and Shopbabytrends.com.

You can also find Matooka on Facebook.

Just Boys & Girls is a wonderful Etsy shop that offers a variety of adorable attire for both boys and girls. I enjoyed browsing this shop and feasting my eyes on the huge variety of styles and patterns listed for purchase. The girls area of the shop offered all sorts of outfits and dresses perfect for numerous type of events and occasions. I couldn’t help but think how cute the Baseball fun baby/toddler girls dress was! How cute would that dress be for a trip to the local ball field?

I was able to review the Summer Dress for my daughter’s second birthday from Just Boys & Girls! This adorable off the shoulder dress is full of various shades of browns and pinks, making it perfect to wear anytime of the year in my opinion. This dress features adorable ruffle sleeves and ties off the top with ribbon ties. I love that though this dress fits well, it gives my daughter plenty of room to continue to wear and grow for a little while longer. I also like the fact that this dress is available in sizes 12mos to size 7!

I enjoyed getting to know owner and creator of Just Girls and Boys through my Etsy meet and greet questions and I hope you do too!

1.Why did you decide to start doing this on Etsy and how long have you been?

I am Cheryl Ragan and originally from California, but currently living in Tennessee(my husband is from TN). I have been with ETSY since sept 2008, before that I was on ebay. I moved to ETSY because ebay did not afford me the opportunity to sell my clothes to the audience I wanted, ETSY has given me that opportunity.

2. What do you enjoy the most when creating your products?

The things I enjoy about my creations is my ability to mix and match colors and fabric types,as well as, being able to design clothing with a flare.

3. Apart from creating things, what do you do?

When I am not sewing(which is seldom), my husband and I do craft fairs. We are retired and we also enjoy the freedom retirement gives us by not having a defined regiment.

4. What inspires you?

My inspiration comes from my ability to see in my mind’s eye a dress design and how it will look finished.

5.In five years you’d like to be…?

Our future plans are to continue with my sewing and going to craft fairs and having a successful, but not overwhelming, business.

Overall thoughts…

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Just Boys & Girls! I again love the wide selection of styles and colors to choose from and can’t wait to see what else will be added in the future. The prices are reasonable and sometimes you can catch some great sells!

Win it!

I enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth and wanted to give my readers a chance to learn more about her too! Enjoy the Etsy meet a great questions and answers below!

1.Why  did you decide to start doing this on Etsy and how long have you been? I like the flexibility that Etsy provides. Being able to work on creative projects, manage my own shop, and raise my children at the same time is ideal, and would only be possible through an online sales vehicle. I have been selling on Etsy for about 8 months.

2.  What do you enjoy the most when creating your products?
I love being able to use my graphic design background to create something that will be worn and loved by someone else. Its fun to see children get excited about wearing my tees. I also enjoy having the opportunity to give back by donating proceeds from my fisherman design to a cancer charity.

3. Apart from creating things, what do you do?
I own a commercial graphic design firm, which is home based, and spend most of my time caring for my 2 young daughters. I also enjoy cooking and spending time outdoors.

4. What inspires you?
My children.

5.In five years you’d like to be…?
Still able to earn a living doing creative things!

Strawberry Monday is an online resale shop of which carries a fantastic selection of top quality name brand clothes for woman and children.

If you know anything about me, it’s that if I can find a deal on quality clothes for my daughter at affordable prices, it’s made my day that much brighter.

I was given the chance by Nicole, owner of Strawberry Monday, the chance to review several items from her store. I went with a Girls Gap Black Floral Dress 18-24 Months for my daughter Melody, a Women’s Old Navy Sweater Tank Knit Pink for myself, and for the Holiday season, Nicole personalized one of the many ornaments she has available in her store for my daughter.

I was thoroughly impressed with quality of each of the garments I was sent. I also am totally  love with the sweet ornament which hung proudly from our Christmas tree! Spreading the word and purchasing from places like this is a fantastic way to go GREEN!

Happy Green Bee has a simple philosophy: clothing that is comfortable, colorful, playful and ecologically responsible. Shouldn’t all of our children’s clothes be like that?

I was sent a petal dress in color radish/bean to review. The organic cotton material I found stretchy which is perfect for any body type! The material is breathable so my daughter won’t over heat.  And this dress has not faded after many washes!

My daughter will definitely be wearing her dress from Happy Green Bee throughout the holiday season, the red and green colored stripes make for even the perfect dress to wear on Christmas day!

Happy Green Bee is not just for babies as their sizes are newborn all the way up to four years old. I love the variety to choose from as they have swimsuits, hats, socks, tops and bottoms.
