JULY'S FIVE EASY PIECES
LOCAL RETAILERS PICK THEIR FAVORITES
At THE FAMILY GROOVE, we say: "Think Global, GET IT Local." It's our mission to deliver
the
groove right to
your
doorstep—or computer screen, as it were. In TFG's global village,
local
stores share the stage with
national and
international ones. Each month TFG will
introduce
you to regional retailers who have got it going on.
1. The Shorts
Zoe Shapiro, co-owner and head buyer for the beach-chic kiddie boutique 98% Angel in Malibu, CA, loves these sizzling shorts.
“Asian-inspired designs continue to be hot and the 100% cotton 98% Angel dragon shorts are on fire.
The dual-sided, limited edition dragon design is a 98% Angel original and comes in three versatile colors. With an easy-fit elastic waist band and functional pockets, your kid will look stylish and be comfortable all through the season. Pair with a matching Gliff tee during the day and add a warm zip hoodie for those chilly evenings.”

4. The Clothing Line
Carol Young of the sweet and lovely Lullabies 'N Mudpies in Marietta, GA, loves the adorable Bailey Boys clothing.
“The original, fresh designs along with high quality make the Bailey Boys one of the best known labels in upscale children's clothing—and it's proudly made in the USA. The girls' jumper and the boys' john-johns are reversible, which make them a fantastic buy because if one side gets a stain, just reverse it to the other side. They're best known for their angel dress with bows on the shoulders and bloomers.”

5. The Bag
Dean Rezaei of the designer discounter Hip and Hype in Lewisville, TX, loves this dramatic bag.
"This season, the trend in bags is oversized and detail-heavy. Spacious, slouchy styles are in too, so if you bought a hobo bag last season, it will still work now. I love this this bag for its versatility and sleek style.”
