2012 Summertime Fun Spotlight

Anna and Nancy, college friends, received degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1998. Since college they have both gained valuable experience in the fashion industry. Eventually the two became mothers and wondered why no one had thought outside the box and modernized the classic romper. Finally, in 2009, they decided to bring those typical children’s ‘rompers’ into the 21st century because who had time for all those snaps?

Together, after many ideas, prototypes, and production samples later, they launched Rock Me! Made with love in the USA. Rock Me brings a modern approach to baby clothing by offering styles that have no snaps, no buttons, and no other closures. This allows babies (size 0-24 months) to be dressed with style and ease. All styles open in the back like a pillow sham for super quick and easy on and off! For the spring ‘12 season, Rock Me has expanded by offering separates for older children (up to a size 4T). We are proud to say that all styles are made right here in the United States of America!

The line spans the rainbow in colors this season, not just from print to print, but in the individual prints as well. Splash has 6 different bright colors and is looking like one of the lines best sellers. Anita G also introduced a new Terry Romper in solids and a few of the season’s best prints. It works great as playwear or as a swim cover up. And of course they still have basics that carry over each year ranging from cropped leggings, bike shorts, to tanks and tee’s.

Summer Time Fun means plenty of Sunshine and Outdoor Activities – so don’t forget your Shades! Real Kids Shades^®.

Celebrating 10 years of eye safety and protection, Real Kids Shades^® is dedicated to providing the very best quality in infant and children’s UV protective eyewear.

Our complete line of 100% UVA/UVB rated sunglasses offers the best eye protection available. Our innovative frames, adjustable comfort bands and wide range of styles ensure a great fit for any child, from infant to tween.

So when out in the sunshine, summer or winter, remember to wear your shades.

At Real Kids Shades we strive to give parents a product they can feel good about and one that kids will enjoy. After all, we’re parents too. Our goal is to give kids an early love of sunglasses - one that will help to protect their eyes for a lifetime.

Knickerbocker Glory believes that this summer…

“She should be thinking about her next adventure, not worrying about her underwear!”

That’s why we just love Underouts for girls.

Underouts undergarments provide better coverage and superior comfort than traditional underwear, giving her the freedom to do, and wear, what she wants. Underouts are fashionable, fun and okay (if not purely intended) to be seen.

No more nylon under-shorts, Underouts are made of super soft and breathable Organic Cotton, Modal and Lycra. They also offer supreme comfort – no tight bands, no itchy tags, lace or seams, just a perfectly snug and stretchy fit.

Girls mix and match three lengths of “Bockers” with our Camis to create the perfect look with any outfit… then tumble, twirl and leap for the stars with total confidence that she is covered.

Offered in sizes 3-12
Cost $16-$22

New for this Spring/Summer: Posey Pink and Luscious Lime.
