Originality ... Brought to You by Miele Fresca

Now, please don't mistake me. I love Gap as much as the next girl, I really do. They are the tan mini van of family apparel ... solid, dependable, with a few bells and whistles if you want them. Their low-rise flares and solid tees are my wardrobe bread and butter every year, and (as we all know) their kid's clothes are affordable and high quality.

But every once in awhile, I crave a bit of originality. Sometimes I want something for me or my kids, that isn't also owned by every Jack, Ava and Mommy at playgroup (and in nine different colors to boot!). That's where Lilywear by miele fresca comes in. The designers create beautiful pieces, drawing inspiration from vintage fabrics, art history and everyday life. The result of their efforts are silk-screened tees and tote bags that are refreshingly unique. Each piece is hand printed, so every item is one of a kind.

Lilywear has shirts for mom, dad and kids. Check out this adorable Friends shirt for babies and toddlers. Available in sizes 3-6 months to 4T (note, they seem to run a bit small), I love this shirt's happy design and bright colors. And their line of women's tees is chock-full of distinct designs that are that are sure to shake any wardrobe out of that mall-store rut, the Night Plume shirt (pictured above) is just one of these. The shirt's cut is very flattering, and I especially liked the longer length (I have three children, and have no need for my belly button to greet the world).
