Good Ideas - Shopping the Kids' Department

It might not be the first place you'd think of, but the kids' department can be chock full of gems. In fashion, kids can take more risks, because they grow out of their clothes as trends change:

razzle-tassel necklace, Crewcuts (J.Crew), $16.50

skinny bangle, Crewcuts (J.Crew), $9.99

mixtape necklace, Crewcuts (J.Crew), $12.99

kids' large Selima Optique® for crewcuts aviator sunglasses, $80

paint splatter graphic scarf, Crazy8, $2.99

In housewares, kids' rooms are often like mini-studios: multi-purpose spaces that need tons of storage. As a result, childrens' furniture manufacturers often have amazing products:

This ottoman converts into a twin-sized bed! tufted ottoman bed, PBteen, $249

black wire beauty storage, PBteen, $19 - $45
