Fitting Rooms

Once when my son was four years old, we went clothes shopping in a large department store. We picked out some clothes, and then I said, "Now, where's the fitting room?"

"What's a fitting room?" Luke said.

"It's where you go to try on clothes, " I said.

"Ohhhh. I thought it's where you go to have a big fit!"

Truer words were never spoken.

What is it about shopping with their kids that drives parents absolutely insane? Are the kids picky about styles, fit, or comfort? Do they always want more than perhaps you'd like to buy? Do they "hate" everything?

Yes, yes, and...yes.

Whatever every kid's quirk, we've noticed that lots of parent shop for their kids...without their kids. It must be easier to make another trip to exchange stuff than to endure a "fitting room" session.

Well, we'd like to change that particular family dynamic. Juvie is probably the most kid-friendly store around, which by extension makes it parent friendly too. We've got a variety of styles, prices, and fits for boys and girls, so everyone can find just the right thing. Our fitting rooms are spacious enough for a "helper," and we've got a comfy lounge area with magazines and a swinging chair to keep siblings or kids who are shopped-out occupied while Mom or Dad finishes up. The boys, who tend to be anti-shopping from birth, even tell us that we're the only store they've ever liked. We blush a little at that, but we're thrilled to be solving problems for everyone.

And here's a shopping tip: Sundays are our quietest day, so come on in this weekend for a "personal shopping" experience!

You're the Cool Aunt or Cool Uncle, Aren't You?

Uncle Jesse

We've found that a good number of our clients are shopping for their nieces and nephews, and we're always happy to suggest what might be the most appropriate gift with the biggest "wow" factor when maybe you're not entirely familiar with what the kids are wearing (or interested in) these days. So it's always easy to find an awesome gift and keep your "cool aunt" or "cool uncle" cred when you're shopping at Juvie, but we want to make it even easier...

We've started a special "registry reminder" service for people shopping for children who aren't necessarily their own. If you give us your family's basic stats (names, ages, birthdays, sex), we'll "ping" you via email about a month before their birthdays and major holidays with some great gift ideas. Then you can shop online and have everything wrapped and on its way before you know it, or come into the store if you'd like to do some hands-on selecting.

Give us a call (323.667.0344), drop us a line (info@juvieshop.com), or come into the store and we'll have you set up in a jiff.

Don't let this happen to you...

Robot Madness!

Robot Love Necklace by Loungefly

I wasn't kidding when I said that robots are hot. We have this adorable necklace from Loungefly, but it goes out almost as quickly as it comes in! In fact, we shipped it out to England and Austria this week....how cool is that?

Dessert Charm Necklace by Loungefly

This necklace is brand new, just in from Loungefly. The charms are "sweet" (groan), but the O-ring is my favorite feature. Will cupcakes be the new robots???

More Deadstock in Stock

Deadstock lives again! We've got a fabulous new selection of vintage kids' wear from the 60's and 70's. Come see the tops, shirts, shorts and assorted goodies for boys and girls. Our last shipment sold out almost immediately, so get in here quickly for the choicest picks. We don't always have every size in every style, so these items are an opportunist's best friend.

We have a good number of Buster Brown items in stock, which got me to doing a bit of research on the company. They've been around since 1904, and the name came from a popular comic about a boy named Buster Brown and his dog Tige.

Got that? The dog is named Tige; the boy is named Buster. Judging from the number of people who have posted pictures of their dogs named Buster Brown online, most people have that one mixed up! Note to self: must name next dog Tige.

New Ella Moss is Here!

Ella Moss, our favorite for soft jersey dressing, has done it again with their early fall line. These pieces are based on the styles going out right now to women's stores, but with just the right modifications that make them perfect for girls. The dresses are youthful and sophisticated; the tops versatile enough to wear with jeans, shorts, or leggings.

Inky Navy Sleeveless Dress

These are custom cut-to-order for us, meaning that we order up the colors and sizes before they're produced, and once they're gone they're gone. So get yours now while you can!
