New Lines Are Finally up at Gymboree: Your Picks?

[urbanmama]

I have yet another sizing question for you. Are you planning to buy 18-24 for AG for the fall/winter? My daughter fits perfectly in 6-12 or 9-12 right now. I did buy some 12-18 for the summer too. I figured that I could use it in late summer and some of it looks okay a little big anyway (although it fits differently than intended). So, I'm thinking that 12-18 might fit her best in the fall and then 18-24 in the winter. What are you thinking? My big dilemma right now is whether or not to buy some of the layette line in 12-18.

Thanks for you opinion!

Imperia,

What shirt are you planning to put with the pants?

I agree with you. I'm saving up for the European line too. I love BV and I know that this line is going to be a favorite as well!

I am just thrilled! I Love Pinks and Greens together! I have a feeling that this line is going to be like the Tip Toe Line, we own most of it!

I also am a HUGE fan of toile patterns so I am in Heaven right now. I love so many of those pieces for this Fall.

Be back with my top picks to post. I am just Too Excited this morning! It's about time.

*I am also Really Happy that I did not place a huge Janie and Jack order this week. Alot of these colors are similar to what I was drooling over there.

Actually, I am thinking the Skate Pup line is pretty hideous myself! No offense to anyone who likes it, but I know I won't be buying one single piece of it!

We are going to the mall today to check everything out. The things I like sometimes change when I actually see them. As for right now, these are the things I'm most interested in:

with these shorts from the island line

with this skort if it is still at Baby Gap

That's about all that I see that I really want from the new stuff. I'll check out the sale rack. I'm not wild about the layette line and I don't know if it would fit when I would need it anyway. It is a knock-off of Baby Nay's fall line and I will probably buy the Baby Nay. A lot of Gymboree is obviously inspired from other designers. The Floral Pallet line was a knock-off of the Little Mass watercolor line this past Spring. In this case, I liked Gymbo better as I am not a Little Mass fan.

No offense whatsoever! I'd love to be more of a Hanna Gal myself but it's so pricey! IRL the lines are pretty close to online though the colors are a bit softer IRL. I actually think I liked the clothing better online I'm sad to say. The actual dog ruined it for me. He's kind of creepy! I did buy a few items: the short sleeve shirt w/the attached striped sleeves, a couple of rhino items + the tank bodysuit from surf school...not terribly exciting!

LAVENDER (woo hoo)! light blue and white (maybe there was also some navy accents, but it wasn't a dark line at all kwim?)

Lavender (and red) are my favourite colours for baby clothes for Maddy so I am happy.

HI Marie!

I am unsure about which top to get right away. I love this one:

but I am concerned about 2 things: one will it really match that well since it's striped and two, it's supposedly a swing top which means it might cover up the pretty belt detail on the pants.


SO I might get this one:

Also, my store is a teeny little Tier 4 so it depends on what they have in stock (they usually get most of not all of a layette line, but sometimes they get them late).

The sad thing is, I am almost more excited to go in and look at the look book again; isn't that just sad?

I'm with you Andrea. I got excited when I saw the word "pup" in the name of the line since I love doggy stuff, but I just can't go for that selection.

ITA...Ugh! What were they thinking? I like DS in navy but where exactly do these designers live? Who needs a corduroy pea coat and a sailor sweater IN JUNE!?!? By mid June it won't get below 80 even in the dark of night.(I'm in Kentucky--not quite the South, but not quite the mid-west either!) I have to believe only a small fraction of the far northern states and mountain areas might actually have a use for those items in the summer...

Skate Pup is way too retro for me...should I stick a little comb in DS's pocket too? I'm having bad flashbacks to my days at the skating rink...

Blech! I'll save my money and send it to Hanna!
