I am a bit high maintenance when it comes to my kid’s clothes – especially Ali’s.

I want her to look hip and modern, but still like a little girl.  I want her very modest and while I’m at it, I like her to feel comfortable.

That’s not too much to ask, is it?

I’ve been horribly disappointed with the selections for girls in some of my favorite stores this year.  It’s all, like, camo and screenprinting and camo tulle skirts and jeggings and camo sequined shirts and … not a single thing that I want to buy.

So I’ve been scouring the internet for clothing that meets all my criteria and is FOR THE LOVE not camo, and one brand that I really fell in love with is Tea Collection.

Their clothes manage to walk the fine line well between hip and still-a-little-girl – they’re not afraid to mix funky prints, all while keeping their cuts and lengths little girl appropriate.

I contacted them and told them how much I loved their clothes, and they offered to send me a few pieces to try out, as well as let me give one of you a $100 gift certificate to shop their collection!

I sent them a link to a picture of Ali and let them do the styling, and I LOVE what they chose for her.

Mine and Ali’s favorite outfit are these awesome cord cargo pants along with an adorable shirt that Ali insists has LILY PADS on it, not FLOWERS.

Geez, Mom.

The pants are super cute – they have the tiniest bit of a skinny leg (which looks oh-so-much better on her than on me), giving it that modern flair.

And the shirt – well, it’s awesome, whether you call it lily pads or flowers.

They were kind enough to send Noah some clothes as well, and they were just as cute –

His cargo pants are impeccably made, including a super-soft red cotton lining that gives them both warmth and style.

He agreed – they were the ideal clothes for lounging around with his big sister.

They also sent Ali this fabulous dress – although short-sleeved, it’s also lined thickly for fall.  I love that I can use it all year long, just adding a turtleneck during our very few months of cool weather.

Noah received a coordinating Henley that looked awesome with his eyes.

It was soft, thick, adorable, and durable enough to put up with big sister harassment.

All of their clothes are captivating and so comfortable– so much so that neither of my children protested their photo shoot.  Pretty awesome, if you ask me.

  1. Thanks so much for sharing this awesome giveaway! I feel so frustrated when I go shopping for my 10 yo daughter with all the so-called fashions & designs, not only do I want modesty, I want her to dress as a young girl without compromise, and still feel good about the way she looks. I do love the “lily pad” top, it is adorable on Ali & little brother is just too stinkin’ cute!

  2. I’d love to win a gift certificate!

    It was weird, but after years of DYING to have a little girl to dress, when I finally had one it seemed like all the cute clothes I had longed over were gone. Everything was pink and brown. I like pink and brown a lot, but… EVERYTHING was the same color scheme. The stores do seem to pick a theme and go with it.

  3. I shared on FB with my username Mary Happymommy–http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=225293630858725&id=100000611160195

  4. They both look so cute in their new clothes!! My older daughter just moved into size 6 (aka out of the toddler clothing section) and I am feeling the same way. Not ready to dress my little girl like a tween! Did you find any other great brands? Thanks for the giveaway!

  5. I was very excited to look them up and see that their clothes are available in Canada and even better, in a city centre near me! Thanks for introducing us to this line!

  6. I agree that their clothes are very good and I think that maybe if I had a girl I might care more, but with two boys and ton of hand-me-downs I can’t see spending $90 on one outfit they will outgrow in 6 months. Especially since the stuff I think is cute my kids tend to abhor:( Dressing my children has never managed to be a stylish event no matter what I do, so I’ve mostly given up and just try to make them look seasonally presentable. I will bookmark this site and come back to it when they get older.
    And because I like Tea.

  7. Since the majority of their clothes come from consignment sales, I’m not sure my kids are aware that clothes can be bought new. What a surprise this would be for them! :)

  8. My boys are reading your post over my shoulder. “Hey she is an A-wee, just like Aunt A-wee.” And, “Look at him, he’s just a little guy.” So, we are all in agreement, your kids are darling. And, my kids would love some cute, hip, non-camo fall clothes.

  9. How has no one else noticed the smock on the home page for Tea Collection? That cute little raglan-sleeve dress is just ruined by mid-section smock ;)

    1. I had to go see what you were talking about!! And I don’t consider that smock – that’s gathering. I actually have a lot of gathered things for Ali like that. Smock is when it’s gathered much tighter, then embroidered over the top of it. Not that I’m picky or anything ;)

  10. Wow, I LOVE these clothes for my 18 month old boy! I especially like the Mexican themes that they have going. Thanks for introducing me!

  11. I like you both on Facebook and subscribe to your RSS Feed! I would love to win this for my son! The clothes are great and your children are adorable! Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!

  12. Maya’s take home outfit from the hospital was Tea. Still have it in her memory box of clothes that will never be given away. Can’t believe she was so small. =) Love their stuff!

  13. I’d love to win. And I agree, most of the kids selections at stores this season are awful!! Either ugly camo or completely inappropriate cuts/styles for a little kid.

  14. OMGosh what cute outfits (and great pictures). I have to get the Mixteca Alta Sweater for my son, it is wonderful!

  15. I’ve never been disappointed with anything I’ve from Tea Collection, and it lasts forever! What a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!

  16. We have some Tea clothing and love every piece, I especially love the leggings for my 10 month old daughter, their clothes are high quality and last and last through lots of washings. I love how modern they feel without being overly trendy.

  17. Ali and Noah are adorable. I love Ali’s long hair and the way she poses for the pictures, and Noah’s eyes are too cute! I’d love to win the giveway and get some fall dresses for Rachel.

  18. I had never heard of this company before. Their clothes are so cute and stylish. Love that they have women’s clothes too (Dig the wide leg jeans!). Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I already have my list of items I want to buy! :)

  19. First off – your little ones are presh! And second – great giveaway! I love Tea Collection’s clothes!

  20. Forget the clothes, I’ll just take the kids! :) They are so adorable! The boy clothes would look adorable on my 2 year old though!

  21. I love Tea Collection! I got the cutest outfits from a friend for my daughter when she was a newborn. I need to get some more!

  22. My grandson needs some new pants, since he has managed to outgrow all of his, at least as far as length is concerned, and Tea Collection certainly has some nice ones.
