sometimes you just need to laugh

There are many things I love about this little ol' blog, and highlighting small businesses that I've discovered along the way is right up there. Especially when they're doing something extra special. Take Laugh Brand, for example.

My little NYC ballerina

Founded by fashion merchandising executive Laurie Wirgler, Laugh Brand is a children's clothing brand that gives 30% of profits to support non-profit organizations fighting to eradicate child slavery and exploitation. Laurie witnessed this horrible activity firsthand on a trip to Southeast Asia, and knew that when she returned home, she had to do something to make a difference. 

Laurie's mission is simple but groundbreaking -- she wants to become the single largest company providing a consistent revenue stream to non-profit organizations. Kind of amazing, right? And I haven't even mentioned anything about the product line yet!

Laugh Brand's collection for girls and boys is made up of adorable, high-quality tee's and jeans. The"World Traveller" options are just the cutest. Naturally, we love the NYC ballerina tee, but my inner nomad loves Paris and London, too. Laugh Brand's jeans are sassy and soft to the touch, just the way jeans should be. I have to admit I don't look at boys' clothing all that often, but I'm loving these tees as well (great colors)!

Laugh Brand has also recently introduced a "Home Dressing Room." With a $25 deposit (which they will credit towards any purchase you make), they will send you the whole collection to try yourself. Free shipping and returns, although they're pretty sure you'll want to keep everything! Giving back has never been so stylish.
