Think Fun in '09.

Happy New Year!

Here are a few things to get you going for '09.
Think bright fun colors, look forward to an afternoon at the beach and for those expecting pick something terribly cute for your little one that will have every one saying "aaawww"!

And don't forget to check out our sale for some AMAZING deals. Seriously, can you believe Ella Moss for you and your little fashionista at 65% off?

Snuggle Up!

One can never have enough blankets. Don't be afraid to give them as gifts or simply ad to your little one's collection. We just got in some more Little Giraffe blankets in soft warm colors and we also keep great stock of the old favorite Barefoot Dreams blankets. If you're shopping for Barefoot Dreams do check out the amazing adult throw they offer...it will keep the whole family cozy this winter. While we're on the subject of keeping warm I have to mention Trumpette, the cutest line of tiny socks.

Hats Hats Hats!

Get ready for winter in style.

At Madison and Friends we try and add a saying to our logo hats every year. From Miso Cute to Hunk to Diva, these hats fly out every season. They come in pink or black and the sayings are whimsical and sometimes naughty like our very popular "BoobMan".

Come up with a witty logo and if you win you'll get a $50 gift card to use at any of our stores or shop online.

New Kingsley... And We Love It

Jet-setting Maddox Jolie-Pitt made this line super popular and it just took off from there. These tees will make a statement but they are certainly age appropriate, it's a blend of sophisticated graphics (like the Warhol inspired drums) that most adults would want to wear with kid-approved graphics. This line really stays true to its rock and roll roots and brings innovative prints to the "cool tee genre" in kids' fashion. Check out the latest styles by Kingsley. You'll want a matching one for yourself...and there is actually one for Dad!

Get Your Baby Inked!

One of the hottest new lines in our stores is Kids Ink. The line features bold prints and whimsical funky rompers, onesies, mini dresses and tees. The great thing about this line is that it's equally cool for boys and girls! Finally a great look for the whole family, from infant to bigger boys and little ladies. Check out the entire Kids Ink line.

1. Cherry Onesie $38.00
2. Pink Lollipop Tee $36.00
3. Apple Pop Dress $54.00

5. Short sleeve Toys Tee $32.00

Top Trends for Fall

With the cold weather peaking through and the days getting shorter there’s still fashion to think about. This season’s trends are fun and bold, lots of textures and colors, no more earthy tones and subtle details; it’s all about flash and taking a risk!
1 - Sequins
It’s all over Vogue and major fashion mags, this is definitely a trend every designer has embraced this season; see it not only on dresses but also on your every day wear. From t-shirts to ballet flats everything has a touch of sparkle this fall. Here are some of our favorite Madison and Friends and The Denim Lounge sequined items.
2 - Bold patterns and color
Forget the winter blues…it’s all about bright reds, yellows, purples and every thing in between. Just because the weather can be dreary and blah doesn’t mean your wardrobe has to be so add bold patterns to everything!
3 -Tunic, tunic, and more tunics
We love this trend…for those of us who need the extra hot coco during the cold this is a keeper trend. Everything is tunics for fall, tees, hoodies, sweaters, turtlenecks; we love the extra length. This trend is super chic over skinny jeans and ballet flats.
4 - Leggings for every occasion

Leggings with everything! Under dresses, tunics, with layered tees and long cardigans, this is a look that we can all embrace. There’s nothing more comfortable than leggings, your favorite chunky sweater and a great pair of boots on a cold day.
