The wait is finally over! Spring weather has finally arrived, and that means Ithaca’s favorite summer sandal is back in stock! Tevas are here!

It seems like Spring may have finally sprung! Birdies are chirping, plants are peeping out of the ground, and the sun is making regular appearances. Warmer weather inspires utter glee in many of us at the Goose, and our April model captures the feeling perfectly:

This is Ananda. His giant grin goes perfectly with the most effusive sweatshirt we’ve ever seen (FrogPrince, size 6, $7.95) which is emblazoned with the words “WEATHER SUN BOY WATER TASTES HOLIDAY” on the front and the words “PRINCE Care U” on the hood. We don’t totally get it, but we definitely love it, especially paired with plaid-cuffed jeans by Blurred (size 6, $7.95) and aqua KDs (Nike, size 1, $8.95.)

Underneath it all, Ananda rocks a tee (size 6, Carter‘s, $2.95) that tells how we’re all hoping to spend this season — hangin’ with our peeps!

Come kick your Spring into gear with a stop at the Goose.

So, what’s a fashionista to wear in March?! This month is supposed to be in like a lion and out like a lamb, but here in Ithaca, it’s more like lamb ..  then lion … then giant-roving-pack-of-lions-tigers-and-bears! Luckily, we have this month’s model, Leona, to show us how a little creativity can help keep your wardrobe weather-appropriate.

Leona’s outfit centers around her sparkly Cherokee top (size 7/8, $4.50)  paired with Ralph Lauren tweed leggings (size 6, $5.50) and size 2 ankle boots by Tuffrider ($9.95.) She gets extra warmth from her Uniqlo heatec tee ($4.25,) Gap cream coat (size 8, $11.50) and Italian wool hat ($2.00.)

Once the weather finally warms up, Leona just swaps out her layers for Gap kids sparkle dot shorts (size 7, $5.50), a leather belt (Peace sign buckle not visible, $1.50) and European leather sandals (size 13, $9.95.)

You too can survive this month as fashionably as Leona. Just stop by the Goose for more styles that transcend seasons!

After registering with us, we’ll provide you with cards to put in your baby shower invitations, so your attendees know where you’re registered. Every registered Mama will also get a goodie-bag from us with samples of some of our favorite products. And, after your shower we’ll send you a coupon for 20% off your entire purchase of things you may still need or want.

Meet Mitch, our February “Look of the Month” model. He and his mama Mariya (and Daddy Schuyler) stopped by the Goose to shop the sales we have going on this week. February, much like Mitch, is short and sweet – a great month to show off some of our favorite things, like the Ergo Carrier pictured above!  Mitch’s sweet ride is a barely-used Organic Green Zen Ergobaby (retails new for $140, on sale at the Goose for $95.) Mamas and babes love these stylish carriers!

Mitch chose to share the spotlight with another kind of model… model trains, that is! He had a grand old time with the Discovery Kids mini train table pictured to the left ($28, vehicles and helipad sold separately) and our large selection of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends trains (prices range from $1-$5.)

Even a wardrobe change couldn’t distract Mitch from his train play. He made the perfect conductor in Gap overalls (size 2, $6.50), a Gap striped long-sleeved tee (size 2, $3.25), a fleece-lined hooded sweater (size 2, $9.95) and See Kai Run Dane high-tops in red plaid (size 6, $41.50.)

Thanks to Mitch for showing us that having fun is always in season!

Meet Olivia and Charlie, our January “Look of the Month” models. Their sweet and sassy sisterly selves, dressed in snuggly Mama Goose garb show us that a bright new outfit can help you get through any January day!

Olivia’s Gymboree sweater dress (size 7, $8.95) is layered over an OshKosh tee (size 7, $2.50) and purple striped teggings* (size 7, $2.50.)  Her purple Bearpaw boots (size 2, $19.95) keep her feet toasty both indoors and out, and her adorable felted hair clip (model’s own, but $5-12 at MG) was made by her very own mama.  Charlie’s hooded dress (size 5, $11.95) and leggings (size 5, $4.95) are super soft Naartjie items that go great with her Livie & Luca boots (size 13, $23.95.). Once they decide to hunker down for the day, they can swap out their boots for cute clogs.

Sanita clogs (size 13, $13.95) and PG Lite Alegria mermaid mules (size 2, $9.95)

After the New Year’s Eve excitement wears off, the frigid temperatures and endless gray skies of January hang overhead as a constant reminder that there are still many, many winter months to come. Come on down to the Goose for sales and some warm and fuzzy fashion.  We’ll all get through this month together.

Olivia and Charlie also accessorized with sunny dispositions that could brighten anybody’s January.

*Teggings (n): a thin, stretchy pant-like leg covering that simply cannot be defined as either tights or leggings alone.
