2 Blondes Cut a Brand New Cloth

It’s not always easy to get kids to dress up for the holidays. As much as parents may want their children to look neat and grown-up for a big sit-down dinner, kids will usually complain that whatever their parents want them to wear is too scratchy, too constraining, or just not “cool.” This is especially true with young boys. It’s not only the kids themselves who object to dress-up clothing; some parents want to outfit their youngsters in holiday apparel that’s more original and on-trend than traditional “seen-and-not-heard” straight-laced clothing.

Andrea Brody Gillman and Jami Leen Weisman, the dynamic duo behind CUT by 2 Blondes, know what it’s like to try and please the fickle fashion tastes of boys. They have four sons between them and had a difficult time finding stylish dress shirts for special occasions. They weren’t impressed by the same-old striped button-downs they found in most clothing shops, so they decided to create their own, more interesting versions of the classic. They offer a more grown-up cut and fun extras, like rolled-cuff sleeves that feature a different contrasting pattern than the rest of the shirt. With CUT by 2 Blondes, little guys love getting dressed for company.

Get on a First-Name Basis with Blume Kids

Inspiration can come from some unlikely places. That was certainly true for Stacey Blume, the founder of trendy children’s clothing company Blume Kids. Blume was a struggling actor with little fashion experience when she was struck with the idea to create a line of clothing based on classic work-wear. Blume’s father owned a uniform company, and his products were the inspiration for this unique collection that includes items personalized with old-fashioned name patches. Inspiration, perspiration, and celebration went into the introduction of Blume Kids.

Blume Kids fashions are casual and comfy, with a personalized touch of hip retro style that helps make the brand a name. The signature product is the name-patch shirt, available in a range of styles from T-shirts to layer-look tops to waffle-knit thermals. They also offer the adorable Little Man shirts, which are tees and thermals with real neckties attached for gent-setters.

Blume Kids offers colorful, durable clothing that’s great for casual holiday fun, whether the kids are going out with mom and dad to find the perfect Christmas tree, or relaxing indoors after a long day of winterland fun. Because there are so many styles and options, kids can wear these fashions all year ‘round.
