Weekend Wishlist: Betsey Johnson, Matching Mother-Daughter Rain Boots, Girl's Tutu with Doll Tutu plus a Zulily Promo Code!

 It's Friday!  That means I've been browsing the new sales on Zulily.  I love shopping on the weekends because I only pay shipping on my first order and get free shipping on everything else from Friday through midnight on Sunday.  This weekend, if you use the special Zulily coupon code SCRTSALE54, you can receive an additional 10% off your purchase of $60 or more! This offer is good through August 18th at 6am PST.

I have to admit that I am always tempted every time I see something that is a matching set for mother and daughter.  I think my daughter and I have 3 different sets of matching handbags that neither of us currently use (but we might someday).  I figured I might as well go for it now before my daughter gets older and is no longer happy to be seen wearing the same thing as me.  Not sure why, but I felt the need to explain the rain boots . . .

1.  Betsey Johnson Fuchsia Puffer Jacket - $59.99 (Originally $185)

Stylish Cupcake Tutu Tank by Tutu Pour Mon Deux

Our daughter first experienced Tutu Pour Mon Deux when she was 3 years old.  She was so sad when she outgrew her Boston Red Sox tutu tank.  Needless to say, she was thrilled to have a chance to wear another tutu tank by the same Massachusetts-based family owned company.  She was even more excited when she found out that she could design the tutu tank herself.

In addition to offering an adorable product and being based in my home state, I love supporting Tutu Pour Mon Deux because this company donates 1/3 (that's HUGE) of its proceeds to Children's Hospital Boston.  Visit TutuPourMonDeux.com to read about how the wonderful doctors at Children's Hospital saved one of the precious members of their family.  How could I not admire a company who gives back in such a generous way?

If you know a little girl who enjoys fashion design or likes to spend time on FashionPlaytes.com, then she will love creating a tutu shirt or a tutu tank online.  The one our 5 year old daughter ended up with looks nothing like the one she started with.  She thoroughly enjoyed the design process, especially since the design page is so user-friendly for someone who cannot quite read yet.

As you can see in the photos, these shirts are created by hand, with iron on appliques and sewn on organza tutus with a ribbon trim.  Our daughter currently takes a size 5/6.  The Size 7 tutu tank is slightly large on her, but that works out great.  I am hoping this shirt will fit her for two whole years just like the last one.  These tanks are machine washable in cold water (turned inside-out) and do not shrink if they are laid flat to dry.

Too bad our daughter's birthday has already passed because this cupcake tutu tank would be perfect for a birthday girl to wear.  She did wear this shirt to school to show it off and received one compliment after another from her girlfriends, teachers, and the other parents.

To see all the fun choices for designing your own tutu shirt or tank, visit www.tutupourmondeux.com.  Personally, I love the monkey and the black cat applique.  For a limited time, you can receive Free Shipping when you checkout using Code: HEART.  If you do end up shopping, I would love to know what you chose for your tutu shirt.

Review: Red Sox Tutu Tank by Tutu Pour Mon Deux

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to an adorable clothing item for girls while promoting a local mom business. I'm referring to Tutu Pour Mon Deux, a Massachusetts based online business that offers custom tutu tanks and long-sleeved tees for girls. Not only is the concept of the product unique, but this mom donates $10 per item sold to Children's Hospital Boston.

It is so easy to design your own tutu on this user-friendly website. You simply choose your shirt style, shirt color, shirt size, applique design, tutu color, and ribbon for the trim. Then the site gives you a summary before you add the tutu shirt to your cart. If you don't quite love it, then you can start over again.

When I saw that there was the option for a Red Sox applique, I just knew I had to have it for my daughter. It's actually tough finding Red Sox clothing for girls that is unique and girly, but is not pink and white. I am extremely pleased with the workmanship. The applique has a nice soft backing inside the shirt so it does not irritate my daughter's skin.

The tulle for the tutu is machine stitched along with the ribbon trim you selected. There are 16 fun ribbon prints to choose from. Even though the product tag says to wash this item separately inside-out, I prefer to hand wash this tank because of the delicate tulle. I want this adorable top to last my daughter as long as possible. She currently wears a size 3T and this tank is a 4T, so it should last her at least through the current baseball season and the next. Even though this top is 100% cotton, it still has a bit of a stretch, which also adds to the versatility of the sizing.

As you can see, my daughter loved her new Red Sox tutu tank. It really made her feel girly and pretty. She could not help dancing around so she could see the tutu move.
