pears and bears GIVEAWAY.





It's an easy task to celebrate this mother of 7 (!), Kayce Hughes: founder/designer/owner of Pears and Bears, her collection of pretty and vintage.  


After a career that started with 6 years in the women's design department at Ralph Lauren, Kayce had her first child and transferred her talent to her home, where she could stay focused on her "first priority, which is being a mom."  Four years and four children later, as she tells it, 
Hughes turned some 'vintage-looking' fabrics into nightshirts for her daughter.  "They were so cute that I had a seamstress sew up some dresses and shorts as well."  Marketing them under the label Pears and Bears, Hughes took her tot-size garments around to a handful of stores, who snatched them up.  What began with a simple nightshirt has now expanded to a near 200 piece collection that includes children's apparel, gift and layette collections and an ever expanding women's line of apparel and accessories.



This is good news for us because, with her children as her obvious inspiration, she creates quality and comfortable children's clothing packaged in playful and charming.  And due to the success of that children's line, a new women's collection is now available!  


(a preview of their fall 2008 collection)

It's all very feminine and easy to wear-- the perfect combination for an on-the-go woman who's craving a new Spring wardrobe.  And to give you a taste of the sweetness that is Pears and Bears, one very lucky reader will win the ruffle blouse ($74) and coco skirt ($58) of your choice (green, pink or white).  



It's hands down my favorite from the collection: easy to wear, a gentle (giving) fit, in the best of Spring colors (I chose green, of course).  

What would you put in your cart?
