Dear Friends,
May in New York City is just glorious! The flowering trees are in bloom, the sky is blue again and it's such a relief not to worry about hats and gloves when I walk the girls to school. Some days it feels like summer, and the girls are thrilled to be in new short sleeved tees or dresses. On the cooler days, layering a sweatshirt under your spring coat is a great option. Layering clothes is not only practical, but also continues to be a hot fashion trend. Many of our cute summer tops can be worn over a favorite winter shirt to create a new outfit that keeps your kids warm enough to go out and play. Just in case you're depending on me to remind you, Mother's Day is May 11th. Chances are someone will snap a photo of your kids with you and maybe even a grandparent. We have lots of great new outfits that will make those photo ops into the pictures you'll cherish looking back on. Happy Mother's Day,
TRANSITIONAL CLOTHING
On breezy May days too cool for bare legs or arms put a brightly colored tee over a long sleeve shirt. New to WVK are three hip companies that have amazing tees: Made U Look, Monster and Shrnk. Just to give you some ideas, I've taken a summer tee from each new brand and paired it with a long sleeve top that you can find in the clearance section. It's a great look! By the way, type LASTCALL for an additional 10% off in our clearance section (offer expires May 31st).
Tunics are hotter than ever!! Wear a tunic with leggings for a hip, comfortable and weather appropriate outfit. My girls, Gabriella and Sydney, will both fight over who can wear this lovely Grey dress with adjustable straps by Pura Vida nyc. The photograph doesn't do justice to the glittery fabric that is uber feminine-and, in a word, twirlable. The footless leggings are super soft and they are trimmed in lace. I just love the bold print of this Catimini tunic. Add the black leggings with orange trim and the matching cell phone case/mini purse to complete the look.
Another hip way to layer is to roll up the sleeves of a button down shirt and put it over a new tee. This outfit by IKKS creates a now look, is lighter and less bulky than a sweater or jacket but will keep your son warm enough on a chilly spring day.
Thank you all for sharing pictures of your kids for my One Year Anniversary. They are all absolutely adorable!! I really got a kick out of seeing them in their WVK wears. If you haven't yet participated, send a picture of your WVK kid dressed in an outfit from our store and you will receive a $25 gift certificate (offer NOW expires May 31st). The pictures will be posted on the WVK site at the WVK Celebrity Gallery so your kids can see themselves and feel like stars. (If you don’t want your kids’ images on WVK, let us know).

Extra! Extra! Extra!
What's hard to destroy, easy to wash meant to be played in, and forever cool? Cookie Magazine says anything with denim.
Your little guy may be too young to tattoo Mom over his heart, but he can wear "Mom" on this blue short sleeve button down by Rockin Rooster. I can't think of anything cuter for Mother's Day.
A. You can do two things; 1. Go to my clearance section and pick up a couple of pair of pants one size larger. Since 99% of my pants are adjustable waist, fit the waistline to the tightest spot, this will hike the pants up and they will last until the Fall. Type LastCall and you will get an extra 10% off the Fall Winter collection (offer expires May 31st.) 2. Consider light weight pants. These two pairs from Replay & Sons are a good choice. They are cut large, so if you need a size 5, buy a size 4.
