The huge summer sale that's molto bella at Estella
Estella is one of our favorite NYC boutiques, and it's also Italian for star. (I mention this only because it makes me crave Italian cream cake.)  While Estella definitely sells the kind of designer kids clothing that makes you wish for a bigger budget, they're having an amazing sale right now that's certainly worth a look when you're inside, taking a break from the humidity. At the Estella summer sale, you'll find several luxe selections I love like lovely Album de Famiglia snap-front tunics for 50% off. I also like some sweet dresses from Estella's own line which are sure to charm, including the rose-soft Pleated Corduroy dress for next fall.

For i ragazzi, the boys, you won't want to miss the totally rad Wizard shirt by Munster, a great deal at $21-- and for every Munster garment purchased, one is donated to Vietnamese orphanages. Or get ready to snuggle down in the hand-made Samurai thermal by Estella, which is sure to tap into the Last Airbender craze for $29, down from $42.

It's a good opportunity to snag the kinds of labels you wait to go on sale, even if you're buying a size or two up. Just do it now; the sale ends July 19. I call that molto bella, baby. -Delilah
