The Family that PJs Together, Slays Together

December 9, 2016 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

We just switched up a holiday tradition that goes back in my own family for as long as I can remember. We ALWAYS opened one gift on Christmas Eve, and that gift was brand new pajamas so that we looked fabulous on Christmas morning.

This year I decided to change things up a bit with my family. We are still getting holiday pjs, to be certain. But now we are getting them earlier in the season so we can enjoy them for more time before they have to be put away (or in the case of my kids, outgrown). I’m enjoying getting more use out of our festive jammies, and in fact, I decided to do the matching family pajamas this year (similar set here). It’s silly, a little dorky and you know what? Also so much fun!!! I’m going to keep doing this until my kids are too embarrassed to match their parents. 🙂

If you are still shopping for holiday sleepwear for your family, definitely check out Zulily. You can purchase a product featuring a “Buy One, Give One” badge and that will trigger a donation to one of two philanthropic organizations, First Book and Treehouse. And while you are shopping, keep in mind that 31% of families will go the matching PJ route (I vote for it! It’s so stinkin’ cute!), that 29% of folks prefer plaid for their winter pajama look, and that 8% will go all in and get matching PJ accessories for their dog(s). However you want to work it, Zulily can help you achieve your perfect look and slay (sleigh?) this holiday season. That Buy One, Give One promotion is pretty awesome, too!

Do you usually get holiday jammies? Any favorite looks from Zulily? I love this set. I mean, I tried, ok? 🙂

Children’s Fashion at zulily: Hear What My 4-Year-Old Thinks!

December 9, 2013 · by Tiffany Merritt · 7 Comments

One of my favorite places to shop for children’s fashion is zulily. Last week zulily was kind enough to send a box of surprises to Darah for her to check out. The cuteness that was contained inside is a testament to all the incredible stuff you can find there.

zulily children's fashion pink sweater

Let’s start with the basics. You can find excellent deals on workhorse pieces for your child’s wardrobe. This pink sweater, for example, will likely be worn almost weekly by Darah, since it is her favorite color, and since it so easily goes with many pieces in her wardrobe. Darah says that she likes how soft and comfortable it is. If you are like me and loathe having to go to a store to go shopping, zulily really is a great choice, even for the basics!

zulily military jacket

Perhaps what they are best known for, though, are the pieces that really stand out. Check out this military-inspired denim jacket. I almost couldn’t handle the cuteness when she put it on. And I also may have asked Owen, our elf, to please have Santa send me something similar. So in this case, if dressing like your 4-year-old is wrong, then I don’t want to be right! Darah has also noticed the pink stitching detail on the jacket, which has made it her new favorite thing to wear, and on milder days, it has replaced her coat.

zulily accessories

Zulily is also a great shopping destination for shoes and accessories. The mustache necklace is hilarious and the animal print boots, while not my style, have been worn pretty much every single day since they arrived. I’ve been teaching Darah to say, “I mustache you a question,” and while I’m not sure that she completely gets the joke, she loves to say it! As for the boots, she says, “they are great for stomping!”

zulily rain coat

If you are looking for something for a special occasion, be it a dress up, or just certain weather, then I’d recommend zulily simply because you are going to find things there that aren’t necessarily carried at your nearest mall. In my experience, zulily carries a lot of “boutique” brands, but at a price point that I can actually afford. This adorable rain jacket still had its retail price tag on it: $42! It is totally cute, but that’s not something I can pay for a jacket that will be worn for 1 year, and only on rainy days! Because it is pink, Darah is in love with it, of course. And I’m in love with those cute ruffles!

I haven’t put links to the specific pieces of clothing up for a reason: they are long gone from the zulily site! If you’ve never shopped at zulily, they have new special sales every single day, and those sales usually last for a few days, or until inventory sells out, whichever comes first. It is a good idea to take a few minutes each morning and scan the new sales at zulily to see if anything strikes your fancy. You have to get it when you see it, or else it will be gone (I speak from experience!). You’ll also find plenty of fun items for you, for the home, and occasionally for men, too. Basically, zulily is like a miniature boutique mall that is on mega-markdown, delivered straight to your inbox. What’s not to love?

Do you have any favorite zulily finds? I’d love to hear about them!
