I am going to be honest with you. I was seriously skeptical of this design!
It could have something to do with the fact that I am deathly allergic to jelly fish....two summers ago I was innocently enjoying a boat day when my best friend and I both got stung. Actually, he got stung first and since I was hanging on his back- he yelled and threw me right into it (Pretty chivalrous, right?:) Oh, Don't worry- he was fine...his leg looked completely normal after two days while I looked like a serious burn victim for three weeks . It was horrible! Not to mention that it was 100 degrees here so my poor, red, inf lammed stung legs were always showing (I think I'm still recovering from the emotional devastation :) To me, jelly fish are like the mosquitoes of the sea. I mean, WHAT good do they do!? I'm obviously not a marine biologist so maybe I'm not completely educated on this subject, but it looks to me that all they do is make little children (and me) run out of the water crying. So when Megan mentioned doing a jellyfish line, it was hard for me to get over my extreme hatred for these nasty creatures. I honestly couldn't imagine how to make these THINGS cute (I'm getting all feisty just thinking about them).
Of course, as usual, she proved me wrong! If jelly fish were this cute, I might, slowly begin to get over my extreme loathing.
I love so much about this design!
1. I love the light green seersucker (duh!)
2. The last dress shown is ALSO a top! For instance, a size 2t dress would fit a 6 year old as a top (pair it with our white pique capris :)!
3. I am OBSESSED with the one piece bathing suit...(I love a good ruffle, you know!)
So, maybe I'm slowly starting to re-think my position on jelly fish.....

Confession: I have mixed feelings about this line. I'm SO excited because I honestly think it's Megan's cutest, most original line yet, BUT I'm also sad because it is the last line I get to preview :( After working here for two years, I finally have to go to a full-time internship for graduate school. I guess I should take on the "glass is half full" attitude and just be excited, eh?
Honestly, I'm obsessed with this whole line. It's going to be hard for me just to preview one design at time, but patience is a virtue, right?
This design is one of my favorites, but the reason that I decided to preview it first is because, duh, it has SHRIMP! What design is better to preview SHRIMP AND GRITS kids Spring 2012 line than the Shrimp and Fiddler Crab Line!? Personally, I love Shrimp... shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp and grits, fried shrimp, grilled shrimp...you can cook shrimp about any which way ;). I never knew that shrimp could be cute though. Have you ever seen a live shrimp?...they look like demons! Far, far from Cute! But, OF COURSE, Megan can make a shrimp adorable!
These outfits are so perfect for summer for numerous reasons:
1. They are seersucker (y'all know how much I love seersucker)
2. They are red, white, and blue (HELLOOO 4th of July!)
3. I love any kind of ruffle fanny (just wait until you see the girl's bubble)...I'm obsessed.
Okay, Okay I know I'm rambling (I have a bad habit of doing that)..and I know y'all are dying to see...so drumroll...
Seriously, how cute is this line!? My favorite part is the girl's bubble (obviously!). I think that the ruffles on the fanny and cross back are so so cute (not to mention that the little girl is so cute that I just want to SQUEEZE her)!
Hello Friends!
Happy Friday! I just love a good Friday! I wonder what it is about a Friday that is just so wonderful?...I especially love a rare weekend like this one where I am not traveling and have no commitments! (except for fun ones :)Anywho, GUESS WHAT! Our complete fall line goes on sale this afternoon! How exciting is that? Everything in the store AND online will be on sale! My expert recommendation would be to go ahead and stock up on Christmas gear! As some of you know, things sell out quickly and Christmas is coming up sooner than you think....(even though I am not down with all the Christmas tunes before Thanksgiving- one holiday at a time, please!)Also,
Okay, SOOOO I know that I mentioned this yesterday, but I just got so excited that I needed to talk about it again! As I've stated previously, football season is one of my favorite times of the year! I mean, what is not to love about good food, drinks, and friends? (the actual game is actually only a side note in my opinion:) It's like a fabulous reason to celebrate EVERY Saturday! Maybe I'm just biased because I went to Clemson University and in a town like Clemson we really don't have much else to do BUT focus on football (and baseball and basketball). I still have to stop myself from buying every orange thing that I walk by (I'm living in the past, I know..).Everyone knows that the biggest game of the year here in South Carolina is the Clemson vs. South Carolina game! We plan our outfits a few weeks in advance (or if you're like me and have an abundance of orange clothes that don't look cute anywhere but a Clemson game, you pick from one of the many lonely dresses in the closet :)!Now, the only thing that could make this even more fun is if I had a tiny one to dress for the games too! I was definitely one of those little girls running around in a cheerleader costume (I desperately wanted to be a cheerleader until it became apparent that I am the most uncoordinated person on the planet...my tiny little dreams were crushed). Even now, and as a freshman, at Clemson, my friends and I would stare at the cute little children wearing their Clemson gear frolicking around the tailgates. (total child envy).Even if you aren't fortunate enough to be a Clemson fan ;), you know that you still have a big game to go to and, lucky for you, WE have the perfect outfit for your little one to wear!
So, hurry and get to shopping so you have more time to make pigs in a blanket, buffalo chicken dip, chicken salad, ham sandwiches (can you tell I'm getting a little overly excited? :)
Hi friends! Happy NOVEMBER! (Isn't that crazy!? I feel like I was JUST blogging about 4th of July yesterday!) It is FINALLY feeling like Fall here in Mt. Pleasant! This morning it was 60 degrees..(bring out the winter coats :)! November brings some of my favorite things- a.k.a. Thanksgiving and the USC/ Clemson game! BOTH of which require an appropriate, yet cute (obviously) outfit! Not to worry- I already have mine picked out (even though I'd be much happier wearing a bishop dress on Thanksgiving...more breathing room! :)So, on the topic of bishop dresses and other types of adorable smocked clothing, have YOU decided what your little ones will be wearing on Thanksgiving or to the Clemson/Carolina game? (even if you're not a die hard Clemson or Carolina fan- you know that you still have a favorite :)! Those holiday pictures last for a life-time, you know. Do you really want your son or daughter looking back when they are 24 and asking "why in the world you dressed them in those tacky clothes!?" Didn't think so! :) Personally, I would recommend the fall bishop/longall or the turkey reversible jumper or longall! Obviously, for the big game I am recommending the Tiger or South Carolina bishop or longall!
Okay, I'm about to make your day (you're welcome!) Drum roll....today we start the deal of the day!!! For those of you that know what it is- try and contain your excitement.

Hello all! So sorry I have been SO M.I.A. lately! In my measly defense-- our backorder came in (which means shipping and returns GALORE) and we had our sample sale which was CRAZY (but still so fun)! Hope that you can find it in your hearts to forgive me one day :)The good news is, somewhere during my long absence, it became FALL! Hellooooo jeans, boots,and sweaters :)! I've already carved a pumpkin (the Clemson one is mine- pretty good, eh?), officially busted out my boots (I'm obsessed), and planned my Halloween costume (You're never too old to dress up, right!?)
In the spirit of fall and all of the wonderful fall holidays upon us (Halloween and Thanksgiving are two of my favorite days of the year besides my birthday, Valentines Day, and Christmas :) - we have decided to go ahead and put ALL of the fall items (a.k.a- the pumpkin/santa reversible jumper, fall bishop, the the rest that go with those lines) ON SALE! We know, we know- we're just too nice :)!
So, hurry and get to shopping (www.shrimpandgritskids.com) so you can enjoy all of the wonderful things that go along with fall...did I mention that I joined a kickball team!? I just know that I'm going to be M.V.P....not! :)
Great news! The day that many of you have been waiting for is here (actually, it was here last week, but I just haven't had time to blog about it)! THE BACKORDER is in and you should all be getting your order in the next week!
