will you tie my laces?

i love that simple gestures from another person, regardless of the intimacy of the aquaintance can truly change your day. regardless of whether it makes a positive or negative change. humans really were not made to be self-reliant. in saying that, why the fuck should we be subsurvient to people around us when we can't cater to our own needs and serve ourselves. or help ourselves. gah.

Hiring a Sales Rep: A Big Decision

So, Pixyworld is taking the plunge. In a certain way it feels like we're signing away our freedom. But, all things considered, I think signing on with Lace and Denim for the Southeast US region is the best next step for us in building our line.



When we first considered a different showroom in 2008, we were scared off big-time. In fact, it was that experience that inspired us to start selling to the… Continue

The Princess and the Pea

How could I have understood, before giving birth to a Princess, the humor of The Princess and the Pea?



It can get to you, if you lose your sense of humor about it. Some little girls are simply born with an acute sensitivity to anything -- ANYTHING -- that rubs them the wrong way.



I suppose I was this way myself as a girl;… Continue

Flattering Lines for Little Girls

My favorite fashion & style book has to be Does This Make Me Look Fat? by Leah Feldon. The title is perhaps somewhat misleading, in that it is not a strictly thinness-oriented book. It gives some very helpful tips on looking chic and having an artistically well-proportioned ensemble.



This, more than any other style handbook, has helped me… Continue

Are We Tired of Pink?

Page Rank: The Chicken or the Egg??

So, if I understand it right, you get page rank by having other highly ranked sites link to your site. OK. So your options are: solicit link exchanges with highly ranked sites, or create your own highly ranked site (like, hmmm... a blog!!!) which links to your site.



The problem is, highly ranked sites don't want to swap with lowly 1's and 2's. So we have to settle for linkbacks from other 1's and 2's. Hopefully, some of them will someday succeed in becoming 3's and 4's, and their links… Continue

"I Want to Do it Myself!!"

Have you ever heard this from your toddler or preschool-aged girl? Especially in the area of apparel, it seems they have an independent streak.



This has several interesting results. Firstly, in dressing themselves they reach new and interesting heights of clash. Secondly, it seems that more than 50% of their clothing is on backwards at any given time. Finally, they gravitate towards wearing certain items as often as possible, while leaving others (the ones we like best) lying forlornly… Continue

Standard US Sizing???

In soliciting our business, the overseas factory Pixyworld is currently working with proudly announced that they could grade our patterns for us according to "standard US sizing." Is there such a thing??



Even for women's clothing, I've found significant variation between brands. But in the children's clothing I buy, sizing is all over the map!!



In shopping for my boys (aged 7 and 9) I've found that the smaller brands tend to run on the… Continue

For the Toddler Divas of the World

Accessorize Me! Set: Tee, Jeans, Shrug I have two tiny divas of my own, so I knew the Accessorize Me! collection would have to be part of my toddler girls' line.

Fashion Internships?

Have any of you ever wondered if it is legal for a company to use the services of an individual, and pay them in the form of 'valuable experience'? Well I have. I am a fashion marketing student, and as any good student hungry to make it in the fashion industry, I have worked, and am currently working as an intern. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the company I am intering for, it's awesome, but I dont get paid for my hard work. Instead, I am supposed to be content with the fact that someday, I… Continue

A Basic Sewing Studio for Knits

I am indebted to the Leabu Sewing Center for not only repairing and maintaining my machines, but advising me on how to provide myself with the essential machines for my work, without breaking the bank.



Many designers do great work without sewing, but I design mainly by sewing. Since I began working mainly with knit fabrics, in developing the Pixyworld line, I realized that my sweet little Huskystar… Continue
