This fall season is all about mixing different patterns. Plaid & stripes is one of the easiest and most effective ways to mix, and it can all be done on a budget. By buying statement pieces at resale prices and finding quality, staple items at an affordable price, you can get this look for your little boy.

The 30 second clip offers a glimpse of Gymboree’s Homecoming Kitty and Aviator School collections with a special 20% discount offered at the end.  All you need to do is offer up your email and you will be emailed a coupon to use on your purchase (20% for new customers and only 10% for existing customers). 

We wonder how many new customers will be drawn by the new commercial and how many loyal customers will be disappointed not to receive the 20% discount.  What are you thoughts?  We’d love to hear from you!

If you are looking for kids clothing that you won’t see other kids wearing this fall, check out the UK brand Krickets.  

Krickets is  a fun children’s clothing retailer that was founded back in 1942 in Ireland.  Through the years, the company was passed down from generation to generation and morphed into the Krickets brand of today offering a coordinated collection for kids 0-12 years old.  The company prides itself on offering value at a great price and has recently expanded into the online US and UK market.  Their garments can also be found in select boutiques in the US. 

Shop the UK online collection and take 40% off by using code Summer40 at the checkout.  If shopping in the USA, visit Krickets World for the new fall/winter 2011 line and get free shipping when you spend over $125.00.  Don’t forget to sign up for the Krickets Newsletter on the homepage and get $10 off on your first order.   

For more inspiration, take a peek at the video for a closer look and shop LoobaLee for Krickets. 

My kids had a few Krickets garments and loved them.  They were great quality, held up to the wash and wear and proved to be a brand worthy of resale.
