My mother loves this shop by SANDIE M. at InsiderPages

Contributor at Insider Pages

I walked in to shop because my mother lives behind the store and has raved about the shop and very friendly staff. She was correct. Very unique clothing, very organized, and child friendly shop.

I am so happy as I had a hard time because the selection was

amazing, and I wanted all of it. Best kept secret in Bellaire.

SHOP WITH DESIGNER CLOTHING

by 1resalemom at Citysearch

I FOUND THIS SHOP THRU CITY SEARCH SHOPPERS!! EVERY REVIEW WAS GOOD SO I DROVE IN AND SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY. THE OWNER AND HER STAFF BENT OVER BACKWARD TO HELP ME SELECT CLOTHING FOR ALL OF MY 4 GIRLS. THE PLAY AREA WAS A BRILLANT ADDITION, AS MY GIRLS WOULD RATHER PLAY THAN SHOP. FOR A MOM PEACE OF MIND WAS GREAT. IF YOU HAVE NOT SHOP RESALE, THINK NEW AT 1/2 OFF OR MORE OFF RETAIL PRICES ON HER NEW ITEMS. SO WORTH THE DRIVE. THE PLUS WAS TO HAVE EXCELLENT SERVICE, ORGANIZED NEAT SHOP. THE WHOLE ATMOSPHERE WAS SO PLEASANT.

• Pros: EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE, AND SELECTION
• Cons: MORE TIME AND CLOSER TO ME

Go Green, Save Green!

by mommylove at Citysearch

This place is awesome! I can't keep myself away from the wonderful owner, Yolanda, and the great stuff! As a mom of 2 and wife of a law student, finding deals is my perogative, and did I mention that my friends call my "granola chic?" So yes, saving the planet and your wallet while looking trendy IS possible thanks to Children's Collection.

With a wonderful assortment of "classic" children clothes and accesories, my two little princesses are always ready for their "ball" of life. And even better, I've found some of the exact outfits my mom put on me and my sisters 30 years ago! Some styles never end.

It's so wonderful to walk into a store where you AND your children are greeted with kindness and affection. My girls love the store so much, that the oldest has even asked if we could go there to play- if only money grew on more trees!

You can't beat the prices. Why pay full price elsewhere when you can have fun while saving a ton of money? Plus, it shows my girls how great reusing and recycling can be. I am a consignment store junkie, and truth be told, this truly is one of the best kept secrets in Houston.

• Pros: great help, clean toy area for children to play while you shop, easy to find and great parking

BELLAIRE SECRET

by acemommy at Citysearch

I have shopped for myself and somewhat pleased with the shops in Houston. When my best friend told me where to find exceptional maternity clothing. I was amazed at the selection and the friendlines of the owner and her staff. The store has a boutique style, excellent selection of NEW SAMPLES at 1/2 off retail. Wonderful play area for the child. MY NEICE DIDN"T WANT TO LEAVE. I learned about the benefit of cloth diapers and how wonderful they were from another MOM in the store, and the selection of baby clothes was amazing, This store excels in customer service, friendly staff, and knowledgeable about nursery needs. The one thing that caught my attention the most was as the children came in with their moms they came behind the counter or whereever she was and greeted MS. YOLANDA" and hugged her as if they were part of her family. AS a MOM to be you have to know she has a way with children. So i plan to promote this shop because every customer or phone call was handled like they were all very special., which in todays retail "CONSISTENT EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE" is a rarity. I should know because as an old employee of NEIMAN MARCUS" ITS the one thing I notice when I shop.

• Pros: thumbs up with a FIVE STAR RATING
• Cons: MORE CLOSET SPACE

Excellence in Resale for children

by 1romom at Citysearch

For the resale shoppers that miss YOLANDA.

I kept getting "she's gone on to better things" or she retired. LIES.

I walked into NEO's Yogurt and there on his counter was a resale directory with her name on the back.

Neo let me use his phone, as He knows I love his YOGURT and called her.

I found her in BELLAIRE TEXAS . BEAUTIFUL shop"CHILDREN'S COLLECTION'S.

WHEN I DROVE UP THE WINDOWS WITH BEAUTIFUL DISPLAYS, I NEW IT WAS HER SHOP.

MY mom and mother in law were thrilled to have found her again. DESIGNER clothing selection was just as we expected. We shopped for two and 1/2 hours and found wonderful clothing for my children, plus excellent maternity since I am due may!! I am so thrilled to have found my friend again. You know that she has a following when even my kids were happy to see her. I have never been any other shop that had a love for children like she and her staff maintain. What a way to start the NEW YEAR!!!!

• Pros: EXCELLENT SELECTION, THE BEST AMBIENCE, & SERVICE
• Cons: CLOSER TO MY HOME

For your Classic Child

by JacindaMarie at Citysearch

What a find! The best way to shop is right here in Bellaire. Yolanda is a treasure to find as well. She has taken her gift and shared it with us. Her ability to make connections with vendors selling their samples is a relationship we need to have second hand for these fabulous finds of BRAND NEW never worn clothing. The store is packed with the "Classic Child" look I crave for my boys and there are other styles offered as well that will please almost every palate. We went shopping there 2 times last week and left there with bargains that were unbelievable. Buy resale and save the "green" in more than one way!

Both of my children adore Yolanda and the wonderful play area she has made for the children to play in. She loves what she does and it shows. She will call you when she gets an item in that you are looking for so leave her your contact information. BTW the Christening and Baptismal clothing section is unmatched at any price. Easy to find, very clean, great parking and there are deals each time you shop there.

• Pros: Reminds me that there are people who care- Yolanda helps me find what I need
• Cons: not enough closet space at home-I buy a year ahead sometimes!!

Mom's Delight

by resaleguru at Citysearch

I read the reviews on Lila guide about tjis shop and because I get 30% off my next visit if I took time to review shop was worth my time. Well organized, very pleasant shop, excellent selection of children's clothing with friendly staff. The play area was wonderful for my children. I save so much money on beautiful smocked dresses, and Sunday clothes for my children. Designers I could never afford retail I paid 1/2 off retail for New . The biggest saving was my new Maternity clothes. It's so nice to have a child friendly shop. I could care less of the discount. The special attention my children received was like having my mom around. What a delight this shop is.

• Pros: Thumbs up
• Cons: Which I had found earlier
