Over the years I have been gifted many a beautiful, poofy, pink tulle skirted dresses by well-meaning relatives and while my youngest seems to adore poofy pink dresses (her motto seems to be the poofier the better), my oldest has NEVER liked the big poofy skirt look. She would constantly cry that it itched and well, I stopped trying to make her wear them. That's not to say my daughter doesn't have a sense of fashion. On the contrary, she has a very SPECIFIC sense of fashion. She calls it "Fashulous" (a word I can only interpret to be a marriage of Fashionable and Fabulous, but don't quote me on that).
Lucky for me, my best friend and my girl Friday, or Auntie Karla as she's affectionately known in our household, is the owner of her very own label of clothes; KarliQ Designs. Karla has always been extremely talented and has been a costume designer for many a production, including my own, and now she has applied her talents, vision, and skill to create a line of playful, life-friendly, and cute designs. In her own words:
"I'm a working mom with a knack for creativity. It started out when I was pregnant trying to shop for trendy and comfortable maternity clothes that fit my petite size. Everything I bought had to be altered anyways so I decided to make my own clothes, one being a customizable dress that is now a staple in my Etsy shop. After starting KarliQ Designs I decided to expand my collection to include baby clothes. I had the skill, the time, and now my son to inspire me. Now my shop includes not only customizable dresses for moms to be but adorable clothing for the littles when they are born. I love creating something special for my customers and hearing their stories. I hope to bring my vision to life and continue to expand KarliQ Designs over the next couple of years."
From my perspective, I am extremely happy that she's expanded her brand to baby, toddler, and kids clothes and I'm even more thankful for the custom designs she's done for me, including a Halloween costume for my baby girl that I'm very excited for (but that's a post for a different day.)
And because I believe in her brand and her talent and I love her designs, I'm happy to share that my ragamuffins are both brand ambassadors for KarliQ Designs; and let me tell you, my kids are VERY energetic and active. The items my kids are wearing in these photos are light, breatheable fabric, machine washable (which every momma is thankful for!), stylish, and play-friendly!
To give you a taste, here's a couple fashions you can find at her shop:
(My oldest is wearing the toddler pencil skirt in tribal print and the infinity scarf, and my youngest is wearing the baby leggings in tribal print by KarliQ Designs.)

Karla has a current coupon code for $5 off any order of $25 or more (some restrictions apply) using the code "AUTUMNLEAVES." But hurry over to her shop, the code expires on 10/31/16 and she has sooo many ADORABLE Halloween themed prints you won't want to miss out on!
As an added perk, you can shop with the knowledge that your purchases not only are savvy savings but also are actively supporting small business and mompreneurship!
To see these looks and many more visit her shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/KarliQDesigns?ref=l2-shopheader-name
And share the photos of your kiddos in their new KarliQ Designs styles! I want to see!
*I have not been paid for this review, but as brand ambassadors, I do receive merchandise to wear and review.*
