Fall is coming and with it comes the new school year. This means back to school shopping for the kids. For some, uniforms, bags, and gadgets, are atop the list, but what about bows?

 

Boutique Bows

 

Ditch the boring clips and scrunchies and add some cute headpieces to your kid's shopping list. Boutique bows are stylish and great for wearing back to school. Find a color that matches your child's uniform and give them some additional cool points when they step into the classroom this September. Kid's school uniforms look great with coordinated headpieces!

 

If your little one does not wear uniforms to school just yet, imagine the unlimited ways you can style their fall outfits with headbands. Burgundy, yellow, orange, dark blues and grays are just a few of the colors associated with fall. Check out our fall collection and take your pick, there is a wide range to choose from and different styles to select.

Also - Find Back To School Bows and uniform colors here! 

Not a big stylista?

 

Styling headgear with cute fall outfits is a breeze, for even the most non-fashionable mom. Our supermini model, pictured below is styled in a solid jeans and magenta-colored sweater, with her hair accessory matching her top. You can do this with any of the fall colors we mentioned earlier. You can also use colors that complement each other. Match the bow to the top, or another color featured in artwork on the top, dress or onesie. Match the bow to the shoes or the bag and for hairstyling help you can check out some styles here. You can also opt to totally ignore all fashion rules. Have your baby rock any color bow of your choice or theirs and create your own style.

 

Let us know how you style your baby with Baby Wisp products. Whether for fall or any season, we have the right style just for your little one

 

Baby Flower Crown Headbands

Why does being sold out make me so happy?

We're sold out of the Coral flower Crown Headbands as of today. It's not the revenue generated from the sales that is making me utterly giddy.

I should be a tad worried that I cannot fill demand for the flower crowns in Coral this spring and summer, shouldn't I?  We sold out of this hot style and colour before March even hit and I won't be restocking it.  You are probably scratching your head with this, as that doesn't make sense...or so it seems.  They are so popular, you sold out!! Why wouldn't you re-stock it? Make more and ride the wave, you're chiding me as my friend in business.  As my customer, your demand should be driving me to get more in stock...and NOW, right? But, I've made this mistake before. Too many times, in fact.  The times have changed so much since Baby Wisp® first started (2008) , you wouldn't believe how much faster the 'trend' cycles are. You think a bow is a bow is a bow...pink is pink and pink.  I tell you - it's not true. [caption id="attachment_1258" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Coral Baby Wisp Flower Crown[/caption] Any retailer can tell you about this problem of inventory and trend cycle.  Just go to any "end of season" sale and you will see prices that you cannot believe. You know for sure. that skirt you just bought for 99 cents, definitely cost several times that to make. But here's the thing - If you don't sell it off at the end of the season, you will never see a dime for it.  Knowing you have such a short window to get your style noticed you have to be already on to the next before you're finished with the first! Styles are so fluid, so hard to nail down.  As a designer, you're gambling on the right colour, the size, shape, style, fabric and more often that not - you're either doomed or crowned queen when a 'CELEBRITY' tells the general public what's cool and what's not cool or the celebrity BABY is photographed wearing a certain style.  You can't plan for that the year before when your designs are in production.  It's such crazy concoction of the right ingredients whether your design will be loved.  And when it's loved, it's loved for like a second.  It used to be a minute or two but now it's a second!   So today, I'm celebrating the second of fame we got in our Baby Wisp Kingdom.   Our coral flower crown is loved.  We got it right! Nailed it! woohooo!!!  That's a "good day" at work when you feel your decisions were right. On that note - there are only a handful of aqua left as that will be next to sell out...so hurry before they are gone for good! Click here to shop at our store>>>  

That can only mean...SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE!!!

Canada Day, 4th of July, Sun, BBQ's, summer fashion..

July long weekend is fast approaching and if you're not planning your little one's first patriotic celebration (whether Canada - July 1, or USA - July 4).... then you're planning pool parties, weekends at the cottage, midday playdates, picnics and other fun stuff that fully enjoys the outdoor bliss of summer. For a lot of us, these next few weeks are perhaps reminiscent of parades, carnivals, festivals, face paintings, air and maritime shows, fireworks, and free musical concerts. It brings with it that tingly feeling of patriotism and a chance to become a history expert … for 10 minutes … via google. ;)

We're celebrating with a giveaway!   Canada Day/ Independence Day Themed Looks
