OK, I know all the moms of boys are going to agree with me here - I find it extremely hard to find fun, cool, fashionable, trendy clothes for boys. Heck girls have all the fun when it comes to clothes and the boys get stuck with the standard tee with an action hero on the front and a boring pair of jeans. Now I know there are fashionable clothes out there for boys because we always see them on the TV right? They just aren't all the easy to come by.
So I know you will understand exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon a store that caters to boys fashions! I was elated! The store in questions is Ochanga!
"OchangaTM is an online retailer of premium clothing exclusively for boys. Inspired by Moms who find it difficult to find stylish clothing for boys."
One look through the store and you'll totally agree - boys don't have to look like they rolled out of the sandpile all the time.
Here's what Ochanga is saying on their website.
"Our Mission

I had a blast browsing through this awesome store - I think I was smitten by almost every item I came across. I was actually excited to view some stylish boys clothing for a change.
Have a look at a few of the items I've got added to my wish list for the boys.
That's just the very tip of the iceberg when it comes to what Ochanga has in store for you!
I was very excited to be able to do a review for Ochanga. The service was top notch, emails were answered very promptly and shipping was very fast. I received two items for review. One for each of my little guys.
The first item is this adorable Trapper hat in a brick color. You won't believe all the ooohs and aaaahs we have every time I show someone the hat. It has a wonderful fur lining and the front and side flaps can button up or undo and hang down. The hat is also kind of quilted and feels so warm - I wouldn't mind one in my size! Unfortunately I do not have a picture of it on my little guy because he is currently away on vacation with his dad. I know it's going to look amazing on him. I really love the brick color as well - it seems to be one of the prominent colors for fall and winter and I have to say it's a color pretty well anyone can pull off.
See - it's absolutely adorable!
The other item I was sent for review was a gorgeous Basketcase shirt. The color is a stunning aqua & white with chocolate brown buttons and collar band. The shirt couldn't have suited Boo any better - the color just brings his eyes out and I just love seeing him in a classic button shirt instead of tees all the time. The shirt is very well made, I couldn't find a string anywhere - lol! Usually I have to cut off a bunch of hanging little strings. I was even impressed with how well the buttons were sewn on - you couldn't wiggle one of them. Yes, I do get excited when I find a quality product because quality seems to have become a thing of the past when it comes to kids clothing.
Take a look at how cute the shirt looks on Boo.
I love it!
All in all I am very impressed with the selection, service and quality Ochanga offers. I keep adding more stuff to my wish list, pretty soon I'll have the whole store written down to purchase!
