A Cute+Cool Giveaway

Gardner and the Gang

We are ~~obsessed~~ quite smitten with the newly released clothing line and online boutique, Gardner and the Gang, designed by the amazingly talented Swedish graphic designer, Kristin Nystrom.

"IT’S CUTE WITH A HINT OF ATTITUDE,
JUST LIKE OUR CHILDREN."

The garments are all 100% cotton, printed with silk screen printing. The material is high quality, and didn't lose any of its luster, even after washing in the unforgiving industrial laundry machines of New York City. I am super impressed by the fabric quality and texture; everything has that "favorite cotton t-shirt" feeling to it.

Zion is totally comfortable and relaxed while wearing her Helmut Harem pant…while at the same time she looks upscale, modern and fashionable, the perfect combination of cute and cool for New York City. My husband at first thought the harem pants might be weird, but he actually loves the way they look on Zion, as do I, they are our favorite item from the collection so far. Did I mention she loves pockets?

via Gardner and the Gang

The initial collection is based on 4 colors and 4 models, fits boy and girls age 3 months to 2 years, and features limited edition production based on illustrations called Helmut Flamingo and Love Skull.

Gardner and the Gang has partnered with Baxtron{Life} this month to give you an exclusive chance of winning an outfit from the limited edition first production!! One lucky winner will receive a harem pant + top of their choice! Enter via the rafflecopter widget below!

the life I've been graciously given;

the things that I love and that inspire me;

it's a place where I connect with my freest thoughts &

expose pieces of the pain I've experienced,

but even more so,

it is truly a place where I have met the most amazing people -

people like YOU.

Thank you for visiting!

Enjoy the party (and the Holiday)
