Spotting bargains across the pond
Most of the online shopping I do at UK shops is of the window variety. As in, browsing only, do not pass go, do not add to my cart, do not pay international shipping. But sometimes I stumble on a sale so good, it makes it worth it to do more than drool.
At the UK's Alex and Alexa, their chic kids' and baby's clothing are on sale now at up to 50% off. Click on sale, sort by price, and you'll find all sorts of goodies to love from labels like Imps + Elves, No Added Sugar, Diesel and Paul Smith.

If you've got a new baby to shop for, grab the Anne Claire-Petite crochet rattle, a steal at $8.93, plus a Cacharel baby hat for under $20. Or stock up on basics for the kids, from affordable tees to a splurgey cashmere pea coat from John Galliano that will be ready and waiting come fall.

Or heck, if you're not on a budget, then more power to you. Enjoy the rest of the boutique, which will yield you some of the best dressed kids on the block. -Liz

Save up to 50% on children's clothes and accessories size 0-14 at the Alex and Alexa summer sale, plus get international shipping half price for a limited time.
