JUNE'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 Tutu
Nikki Blanton of the kiddie couture and more Hopscotch Boutique in Orlando, FL, loves this little girly girl's closet staple.
“Design your little girl's very own tutu: choose tulle color, length and waist size, custom for your little princess. Perfect for birthday parties, photographs and dress-up, this tutu is made from seventy-five yards of tulle, making it just right for twirling, twirling, twirling. American Apparel tank tops complement the tutus beautifully.”
$62.00, Hopscotch Boutique, 1620 N. Orange Avenue Orlando, FL

2. The Accessory
Kate Logan of the eternally hip and alive Ooma in San Francisco, CA, loves this must-wear headband.
“Cookie & The Dude headbands are a summer essential. They add pizazz to any outfit, remedy a bad hair day, and for new moms with little time, they are a true lifesaver. In a variety of colors and patterns, they are the easiest way to enhance summer style.”
$25, Ooma, 1422 Grant Avenue, San Francisco, CA

3. The Dress
Katy and Janci of the trendsetting Belly in Denver, CO, love this versatile dress.
“The dress that our model is wearing is worn as a stand alone dress within the first five to six months (and after baby, too); but once the belly really pops out in the last trimester, it is best worn as it is in the picture: open and over jeans or capris with a basic wife beater tank. Our clients love the versatility and the uniqueness—that's our deal. We try to find items not found on every other maternity website.”
$204, Belly, 3003 E.3rd Avenue Denver, CO

4. The Undies
Sacha and Allison of the cool and cutting-edge Bluebird Boutique in Edina, Minnesota love these flattering and sexy skivvies.
“A great outfit can be ruined if you don’t have the right stuff underneath. Hanky Panky’s one-size-fits-all stretch lace thongs are the perfect start to all your summer outfits. Available in regular and low rise versions with a wide waistband that lays flat, stays put and won’t dig into your hips, you’ll be cool and comfy all summer long.”
$18, Bluebird Boutique, 3909 West 50th Street Edina, MN

5. The Product
Randle Doss of PIR Cosmetics in New York City loves this essential summer hair care.
“The must-use summertime beauty product is La Cove Botanical Conditioning Treatment. This ultra-nourishing hair mask hydrates as it adds shine, bounce and manageability and helps to fight humidity-induced frizz. With ingredients like sweet orange and wheat germ oil, it also restores vibrancy to faded color. Throw it in your beach bag and use it all summer long to protect your hair from the harsh effects of sun and chlorine.”
