4 KIDS Events Fashion Review

Gingersnaps Clothing-20 years and counting

As a mom, I need to know that the clothes I invest in for my children are going to stand the test of time. These clothes for my kids need to be made well. Aside from being made well, they also need to celebrate each of my children’s differences and styles without making them appear older than they really are.

Gingersnaps has a way of dressing my girls that is age appropriate, fun, fashionable, and tasteful without being too trendy.

Gingersnaps has a way of dressing my girls that is age appropriate, fun, fashionable, and tasteful without being too trendy.

Specifically, this means that when my then 12 year old daughter would like to pick out a nice dress for a special occasion or a family photo shoot where we have to wear similar colors, I actually would like her to look like she’s 12…and not 24. Where do we go for such a stylish, colorful, dress that is age appropriate and well made?

Why, Gingersnaps of course.

Truth:  I ALWAYS get excited when I know that one of my kids has received a birthday or Christmas gift from Gingersnaps.

Another Truth:  I get equally excited picking out special gifts for my nieces and my nephews from Gingersnaps and having it wrapped in their trademark box/bag with a handle. It also makes my life easier because I don’t have to think of how to wrap our gift creatively.  A box from Gingersnaps is one that is always received with gratitude. It’s recognizable and appreciated.

Tin attests to the timelessness and durability of Gingersnaps fashion for kids during the Gingersnaps at 20 Fashion Show.

So when my friend Tin Dychiao of Manila Fashion Observer and SoMom Extraordinaire said that we were invited through her friend Sherry (who handles marketing) by the owners of Gingersnaps (Sabrina and Jerry Uy) to come to the Gingersnaps 20 year anniversary fashion show, I couldn’t wait to attend!

Daphne Osena Paez hosted the event that celebrated 20 years of Gingersnaps fashion.

Many of the SoMoms were in attendance…and when we are all together, it’s an instant party!

Here are some of the SoKids that were in attendance before the show started.

I remember the very first Gingersnaps pieces my MIL brought over to NY when Gia was still a peanut. It was a white eyelet peasant top coupled with a pair of linen pants that were embellished at the cuff with white beads and button flowers. It was so adorable! She wore it well and it was super cute. People would often ask where I got her cute outfit, which I of course answered with “The Philippines,” proudly.

Jerry Uy shared Gingersnaps beginnings...

What intrigued me even more during the show, was when company CEO,  Jerry Uy,  took the stage to give a little background on the company. I learned that Gingersnaps started in Robinson’s Galleria with a space that was only 3 square meters in area, and only one person to assume the role of sales staff. It is from that small beginning that Jerry and Sabrina Uy put their heart and soul into a clothing line which has become an international brand having branches and boutiques not only here in the Philippines, but in Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and UAE as well.

When the main attraction started and the newly chosen models from the “Gingersnaps Model Search” were strutting on the catwalk, even Gelli was excited! She was clapping and laughing!

All of the kids were so super cute strutting down the runway.

Even Tin’s daughter Berry was amongst the models! Of course all the SoMoms had to cheer her on 🙂 We were all so proud of her!

Berry was all smiles, not just at the end of the show, but all through out. Great job, Berry!

Another thing I love about Gingersnaps? The ability to mix and match the outfits…You can double your child’s wardrobe by investing in some of the pieces that can be paired together changing the look completely.

Many mommas often complain that dressing their daughters is so much more fun than their sons...Gingersnaps makes dressing the boys JUST as fun for me!

I thought it was an adorable show and celebration of Children’s Fashion! Even Diego and Gelli had fun at their very first fashion show!

Thanks Gingersnaps! We'll be in again real soon :-) Easter is right around the corner, and we all love shopping for new Easter outfits.

I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Th I have always been intimidated by Cornish Hens. Through this learning exercise with @usapeecphl, I have learned a bit more about these little birds that have bigger breast parts, and thank you Chef @ivoryyat for showing me how easy it is to prepare Greek Lemon Roasted Cornish Hens with Roasted Potatoes.
 
Clean and fresh flavors are perfect for these smaller birds that are rich in protein with zero carbs. Try the recipe in the comments section. I’m sure you’d enjoy it as much as I did!
 
Interested in U.S. Cornish Hens? You can buy them in stores near you. #CornishHen #USCornishHen #PoultryPerfection #CookingWithUSPoultry #USPoultry #USAPEECPHL #ad
@gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @pura @gi.aventajado and I played with some of the @puratosph products that they sent over the other day. Ready to use Bavarian Cream made these Cream Puffs easier than ever. I think we have to figure out how to temper our couverture better…

@mommymundo always has a way of bringing together @mommymundo always has a way of bringing together just what we need, no matter the time of year. Loving these photos of my first boy that were snapped @expomom.

Anyone else thinking about #HolidayPhotos? I am not one of those moms that has it all together before Christmas. It’s usually a mad dash for us at the end of the year, but if it’s anything that the past few years has taught me, it’s that the little things are what makes the Christmas special.

Many of us haven’t been together with the extended family or even our immediate family in so long. That means it’s the perfect time to document.

@nextbymetrophoto will be hosting one last Christmas Marathon family photo shoot before the end of year. Check them out or shoot them a message. They have some cute set-ups.
****GIVEAWAY ALERT*** 10 things I LOVE about @sed ****GIVEAWAY ALERT***

10 things I LOVE about @sedahotels listed here and on FB!

1. Each property has a Signature Dish. If you can’t make it to Bacolod, you can still enjoy Chicken Inasal in any of their properties.

2. Clean Design. So easy to work and play in a space that is light, modern, and clean in design. 

3. Beautiful views. Every chance I got, I would sit outside at @straightupatseda. 

4. Spacious Rooms and Residence Stays. Staying in the Three Bedroom Premier was perfect for our family. 

5. Attentive Service. Everyone was pleasant and accommodating.

6. Centrally Located. If you are thinking of fun things to do in Makati and want a home base, Seda Residences Makati is near a few of the museums, parks, and malls.

7. Work with ease. Internet service is uninterrupted. Meeting rooms are available and easy to book.

8. Relax and Play. From mid-day tubbies with Gelli to, taking advantage of the pool, or the children’s room, the little girl had more than enough things to keep her busy!

9. #FamilyTime. Spending an extended amount of time outside our own space led to laughter, fun conversations, and opportunities to try new things. We were comfortable and rested in the space we were in, which meant more opportunities for us to connect.

10. Homegrown with a Purpose. A Filipino brand that understands the importance of both work and travel, each property is important to the city & province location. Environmentally aware by adopting Mayumi, a Philippine Bald Eagle. 🦅

Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at Is there anything better than a stuffed turkey at this time of year? Whole turkeys require serious commitment to cook. #IYKYK But because U.S. Poultry is now available here in the Philippines, that also means preparing turkey is a tad bit easier.
 
Frozen U.S. turkey products are available and ready to cook for people who want to dabble with flavors for this bigger bird but aren't sure how.
 
Thank you to Chef @ivoryyat for putting together a medley of my favorite fall flavors. This combination of apples, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup perfectly compliment  the roasted turkey leg and remind me of flavors and scenes from back in New York. 
 
@usapeecphl l has the highest standards that follow USDA requirements which are certified safe before shipping to the Philippines. Get them in stores near you.
