I love sharing wonderful things with my readers!  So when I discovered DAILY THREADS (www.dailythreads.net), I had to spread the news!

DAILY THREADS is a children’s apparel line that introduces a new standard in mix and match every day basics.  Each piece of clothing has been crafted with consideration to the  best fit, comfort, and style. Remember that favorite t-shirt you never wanted to take off because it was so comfortable?  Imagine that feeling offered in a whole line of clothes just for the kiddos!

Additionally, Daily Threads is not only made locally, but also offers superior quality that provides lasting durability and value.  Plus, they are the softest clothes you will ever feel!  Just ask my 6 year old who did not want to take them off.   Check them out at www.dailythreads.net!

Los Angeles never gets enough props for all of its hard work. With our seemingly casual breezy lifestyles and our non dress code days, there is a misconceived notion that we do not value the daily grind as much as the other big cities in the U.S. One industry in LA that never takes lunch breaks or vacations is our ever-growing, important fashion and garment industry. The city of Los Angeles currently ranks #6 from an economic standpoint in the global fashion industry, and we are pushing to get to #5. What comes out of our fashion industry is an undeniable force to be reckoned with, and something that the residents of Los Angeles should be proud of. Truth be told, we still have yet to figure out a fashion week that is cohesive and makes sense for our city, but beyond that, Los Angeles is a real fashion capital of the world, producing a substantial percentage of apparel and fueling not only the city’s fiscal health but the global economy. All of the inner working that make the fashion world go around happen right here in LA from start to finish; studying, design, textiles, manufacturing, production, fashion shows, advertising, pr, sales, retail, red carpets, and so much more.

In a bad economy, style is still important to many. People are still buying new clothes every day. I encourage my fellow Angelenos to think about supporting LA’s economy by buying fashion brands made and sold right here in our City of Angels. Since the beginning of 2009, Los Angeles’ fashion and garment industry has been one of the hardest LA industries hit, with thousands losing their jobs. Once not long ago, this city’s fashion and garment industry was the biggest across the nation. In the late 1990s, the industry was booming with more than 119,000 textile and apparel workers in Los Angeles County, making it the nation’s largest. In 2010 and moving forward, it is important to invest in your local fashion and garment community. Los Angeles has immense potential to be on top. We are rebuilding now. Just like it is important to support local farmers by attending farmers markets and buying from those who produce food here in Southern California, the same is true for fashion. Buying fashion labels that are made in LA helps support us all as a community and goes on to assist our city and nation’s economy. Brands that are committed to their community create much needed jobs locally.

One brand that believes in the local investment is my new client, Daily Threads, a successful children’s basics line based in Los Angeles. Doing business on a local level was very important to Jamara Ghalayini and business partner, Claudia Schwartz, when they decided to create the basics mix and match line three years ago. Both businesswomen live in the LA and see the big picture of investing in their communities. Schwartz is a marketing professional with a background in children’s apparel manufacturing and Ghalayini is an economist who has many years experience in retail development. In addition to offering great styles and color selections, Daily Threads is known for its perfect fit as each size offered has been individually crafted with consideration of the best fit and comfort. Keeping with the California casual lifestyle, Daily Threads keeps focused on its brand mission, to provide fashion forward basic styles with premium fit, fabrics and construction solutions for both baby and child (boys and girls) to play in, layer in and live in with superior quality that provides lasting comfort, durability and value. The challenge for Daily Threads was to create a premium line from start to finish that people will want to buy, is affordable and local. Daily Threads is a brand made in the U.S.A. — and even better it is made right here in Los Angeles.

For Daily Threads, they insisted the fabric be milled in Los Angeles, the line produced & manufactured in Los Angeles and even began selling at first only in the LA area and now sell online and across the country. Daily Threads is only one line of hundreds and hundreds born right here in LA that are supporting the local economy and fashion industry. We all know that small businesses creating jobs in their community is what fuels the national economy. Buying brands like Daily Threads is a way to support your neighbors, the Los Angeles fashion and garment community and our city’s economy. Please get familiar with the great LA based fashion brands to support. Lines to consider that are made in Los Angeles in addition to Daily Threads are AG Jeans, 7 For All Mankind, Bedhead Pajamas, Andrew Christian, California Rising and many, many more.

Investing locally helps us think globally. It just does. Many say people either love LA or hate it. I say love it and show it. Support Your City, Buy LA Brands. -Diana

My daughter Hannah and I had the pleasure to review a super cute skirt by Daily Threads!

Daily Threads is a company devoted to “raising the bar” when it comes to the basics in children’s clothing. From pants to skorts to great cap-sleeved tee’s — All of Daily Threads products are made in the USA by superior standards and practices — all design, fabric milling and production occur in Los Angeles, CA. The clothing is made with care and the highest quality in mind.

The skirt I chose for Hannah is called the Lettuce Edge Tiered Skort. It comes complete with built in shorts for comfort and ease. Hannah hates having to wear separate shorts underneath skirts– but with the way she plays, it’s a necessity. The Daily Threads Lettuce Edge Skort takes the need for separate shorts out of the equation! SO NICE! It’s also made of a extremely soft modal cotton.

Hannah chose her favorite color — fuchsia! But there were so many other colors to choose from too — which was nice! If you have a certain shirt that is hard to match– for sure you will find something at Daily Threads that will go!

The skort washed exceptionally well. I washed it in cold water, like suggested and tumble dried on low. It came out of the dryer beautiful and vibrant — like new!

The skort sells for $39.00. A little higher than the cheaper brand versions, but I say if a piece of clothing washes well and lasts, then it’s like an investment. For sure this will be a piece that my younger daughter Emma can enjoy too when she is bigger!

This is one summer trend we love. Daily Threads is a sublime new line of cotton apparel for kids. They sent me over some summer samples and now I’m hooked on the skorts. My little girls can feel fun and girly and still turn a cartwheel or run as fast (or faster) than the boys. But you don’t have to be in grade school to enjoy this trend.

We love the Lettuce Edge Tiered Baby Skort Daily Threads lettuce edge girls modal cotton skort–pick from six colors ($39).  Ruffles not for you? Pick the Sport Skirt instead ($29). Now what about mom?
