How Did You Spend Memorial Day???

My family and I had a low key weekend spent with family. We had a bonfire, trampoline fun and even some rainy day fun!

But best of all, my daughter spent it in style because she was wearing her super cute new outfit from FabKids! 

Whether you’re soaking up the sun and BBQ-ing, going out of town or having a low-key weekend, FabKids will keep your child in style!

My daughter looked so adorable in the new Navy Ballerina Outfit!

She loves the fun tutu dress and the fun summer colors!

This pretty summer stripe dress is complete with plenty of tulle. She feels like a ballerina every time she wears this dress! She spins around in it every time she wears it!

This outfit comes with the FabKids Soft Leggings which are super soft knit leggings in deep navy. They are cropped just above the ankle and are perfect to wear under dresses now-and-later!

Don't mind that they are on the wrong feet! :)

And the perfect accessory with this cute outfit are the Fab Glitter Bow Flats! Add some shine to your FabGirl's step with these easy-to-wear ballet flats. They feature all over glitter with bow accent and cushioned footbed. My daughter loves wearing these sparkly shoes and I love how easy they are to put on!

So as you head into summer and are enjoying the warmer weather, make sure your children are clothed in the super cute and affordable FabKids clothing!

Edge by Jen Rade Sleeveless Embellished Tank

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

As a busy mother, I don't have much time for clothes shopping...nor do I feel like I have much personal style or energy left to look great and feel great about what I wear. Every day is usually compliled of yoga pants, capris, a t-shirt or tank. Not much creativity...not much style. And when I do have an occasion to dress up, go on a date with my husband or sisters, I usually get really depressed about my wardrobe....

So I am super thankful for great online sites like QVC who offer super cute, stylish clothing and I never even need to leave my house to buy them!

I recently received the super stylish Edge by Jen Rade Sleeveless Embellished Tank in Red. This sleeveless shell hits a note of rockstar chic with cool embellished detailing.

I love to wear this tank with leggings, capris or it would even look cute with shorts! It is super comfortable to wear and the material is so soft!! Plus, the embellishments let me shine and feel cute and young again!

A few things to keep in mind when ordering and wearing: The sizing seems to run big. Maybe go with a size smaller than you normally wear. And make sure to follow the directions of hand washing and line drying only! It will shrink!

Overall, I love this tank and it is my new favorite to wear at special occasions and everyday use because it is comfortable and cute and I love that I can feel both at the same time!

Buy It: You can purchase the Edge by Jen Rade Sleeveless Embellished Tank for $29.84 (on clearance!) from QVC.com.

Organic Clothing from Faerie's Dance & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

My favorite items of clothing are the ones that are comfortable (a MUST!) but also really cute! If you top it off with the fact that it is made from organic cotton, then it might just make me the happiest woman!

Sound too good to be true??? Well, it is not and you can find comfortable, cute, fashionable and organic clothing that will make you happy too right from a great online store named Faerie's Dance!

Faerie's Dance is a vegan, woman-owned, Eco-Fashion store. They have fashions for everyone and specialize in offering organic and earth-friendly lingerie and intimate apparel. They've literally scoured the planet to bring in organic cotton bras from England and Italy, bras and panties from recycled pine trimmings from France, reclaimed soy sleepwear from Canada and more! Of course, they have intimates for the men, too.

Their clothing is made of environmentally sensitive fabrics and dyes. They source products from both US manufacturers and overseas manufacturers who take care to ensure that all workers are treated fairly, are safe from sweatshop conditions and receive living wages. No children are employed by any of their manufacturers here or overseas.

I absolutely LOVED looking through their website (and probably spent WAY too much time browsing and dreaming!) and looking at all their super cute clothing and loving that they were made from organic and eco-friendly materials!

I finally settled on the Long Sheer Tank because I thought it looked super comfortable and I needed more summer tanks!

I received the Long Sheer Tank in Clay (shown above) and am so HAPPY with it! It is just as comfortable as I imagined and really cute too! I pair it with leggings, capris, shorts, ANYTHING and I got compliments from my husband right away! :) The Clay color is a little more brown than it looked in pictures (I thought it was more grey before I received it) so I would definitely be interested in owning the Smoky Blue color too - it looks so pretty!

It was a little big at the beginning but after washing and drying it, it fit like a glove and I love wearing it whenever I can!

Long and chic this tank will layer under anything or stand up completely on its own. Falls to the top of the thighs with sophisticated detailing such as ruching at the neckline and unfinished edging.

It is made from 100% Organic Cotton Jersey and is made in Peru using Peruvian-grown organic cotton. Meets all Fair Trade Federation guidelines.

So, if like to look cute but also be eco-friendly at the same time, head over to Faerie's Dance and have looking (and buying!) all of their chic and eco-friendly clothing!

Buy It: You can purchase the Long Sheer Tank for $42 from the Faerie's Dance website.

Yochi Yochi Shoes & Giveaway

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I have mentioned before how much I LOVE CUTE BABY SHOES!!!! I am such a sucker for baby shoes, especially for my baby girl! The good news is my daughter's feet never seem to grow so she still has many more years of baby shoes! :)

My latest favorite pair for her are the Yochi Yochi shoes that squeak and are super cute ladybugs!

Yochi Yochi is proud to introduce the latest trend from Japan here on American soil. Yochi Yochi shoes are made with a small squeaking diaphragm in the heel of each shoe which causes a small squeak when your child takes a step. The noise is fun, but it even goes beyond that.

With the squeaking sound of every step, you can find comfort in that fact that your stealthy child will have a hard time getting away from your side without you knowing.

In addition to safety, many doctors have suggested that when children can audibly recognize their footsteps, the sounds can reinforce the natural rhythm of walking and actually help train them to walk.

Like I mentioned I received the super cute Miss Mushi shoes (pictured above) from Yochi Yochi! 

Miss Mushi is more than just a new pair of shoes for your child—she is a new best friend. Though capable of flying Miss Mushi prefers walking and encourages your child to do the same by squeaking with every step she takes.

Each shoe is made of high quality nylon, with comfortable insides to keep your child's feet cozy. The velcro closures makes them quick and easy to put on.

Safety is an added plus. Every parent's nightmare is losing a child in a public place. The squeaking sounds from Prince Mushi can help you keep track of your child or locate him quickly if he slips out of sight.

Miss Mushi is available in sizes 4 through 10 so they can definitely grow with your child throughout their young years!

Not only is the squeak so fun and cute but it does help me know my daughter is always near by! The shoes themselves are so cute and easy to put on with the quick velcro strap and comfortable material! These will definitely my choice of shoes for my daughter this winter!

My daughter DID NOT want to take these shoes off once she heard they squeak and walked around in them for awhile! 

Buy It: You can purchase Yochi Yochi shoes in four designs for $29.95 each on the Yochi shoes website. 

Win It: Yochi Yochi Shoes is generously offering (1) Pair of Yochi Yochi Shoes in your choice of size and design to a lucky winner!

Belly Dance Maternity

Let me just state right away...that I am not PREGNANT...but I really hope to be soon now that I own a super cute new maternity dress from Belly Dance Maternity that I received for review!

I remember back to the days when my mom was pregnant with my younger siblings and maternity fashion was not very cute. It was basically just the baggiest, biggest clothes you could find and it was kind of like wearing a garbage bag. But I am so glad to be having children and being pregnant in the age where you can still be stylish, comfortable and cute in maternity clothes, especially dresses because I am never very comfortable in those ever! And part of that thanks goes to great maternity clothing companies like Belly Dance Maternity! They have a great range of maternity clothing for all occasions, sizes, and stages and I love their selection and clothes I have previously received from them!

At Belly Dance Maternity they believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice your style when you're expecting. Their clothes outfit every part of your life -- work, home, formal occasions, outdoors, sleepwear and lingerie -- and they work hard to bring you the best in hip, fashion-forward maternity clothes.

As recently as a decade ago, women thought that fashion and pregnancy could not go together. This is when Belly Dance Maternity changed this notion and opened the doors of its flagship store in Chicago's fashionable Bucktown neighborhood. With an urban boutique sensibility and an eye for trend coupled with exceptional customer service, Belly Dance has generated quite a buzz among expecting fashionistas.

In addition to receiving wide-ranging media interest, including best maternity store in Chicago Magazine, exposure in national magazines such as InStyle, Us Weekly, and People, and numerous television appearances, Gwyneth Paltrow recently named Belly Dance Maternity as one of her style favorites for the mother-to-be.

Have I said yet how much I love Isabella Oliver and their maternity dresses???! I already own a Isabella Oliver dress and it was my go to dress when I was pregnant with my daughter! I knew I wanted another one for a little variety and opted for the Isabella Oliver Cobalt Olivia Dress. It is so fashionable and chic and the Cobalt color is bright and fun!

This dress is really a flattering style by Isabella Oliver. It hugs your curves in all the right places and it is a great color to spice up your wardrobe. Wear it to your shower or to a wedding and have people asking you where you got it.

\

I love that this dress is so versatile. It can be worn longer or shorter and I think I could even nurse in this dress! Plus, it even looks great on when I am not pregnant or right after having a baby where you might want to cover a couple extra pounds. It hugs all the right areas and is the most comfortable dress I own...and that is especially important when pregnant!

So, if you are have a special occasion coming up or just want to look cute this summer while pregnant, I definitely recommend Isabella Oliver dresses and Belly Dance Maternity has a great selection of dresses and other great summer apparel!

Buy It: You can purchase the Isabella Oliver Cobalt Olivia Dress ON SALE for $100.00 from the Belly Dance Maternity website.

My First Weitzman Shoes Review & Giveaway

I don't know about you, but my favorite part of my daughter's wardrobe is her cute little shoes! There is nothing like a shiny, new, sparkly pair of baby shoes! It really tops of any adorable outfit and makes her cute little feet even cuter!

As I have mentioned several times before, I truly have a baby outfit and accessories problem! I just love dressing up my daughter and taking pictures of her in her cutest outfits! 

I can't wait for her to grow into her new Baby Sugar shoes from the My First Weitzman line of Shoes from Stuart Weitzman!

Most people that love fashion have heard of Stuart Weitzman! From New York to Milan, from Paris to Beijing, the Stuart Weitzman shoes and handbags have a truly international presence and a steadily growing customer base. Now the company is engaging in a new phase of growth with the launch of the Stuart Weitzman Kids line.

I just love the Baby Sugar shoes I received for my daughter! They are great for dressing her up and adding a sparkle to any outfit! The color is a neutral silver so they match everything!

(Make sure to check out the video below for a great look at how cute these shoes are!)

I LOVE the rhinestone embellishments across the strap. They just make my daughter sparkle and the elastic at the sides of the straps helps for an easy slip-on fit without having to worry about doing a time-consuming buckle.

They are really lightweight and flexible so they won't impede her standing and walking when she is older!

It was so hard to choose just one style to review for you because they are all so cute! Make sure to check out the available styles from the Stuart Weitzman Kids line!

Go Back to School with Crocs for Your Children!

One of the biggest purchases for children when they head back to school is the purchase of new shoes...shoes that will hopefully last through the school year or at least the season! It can be SO HARD to find quality children's shoes these days and get your money's worth from them!

My son is especially hard on his shoes in the winter (since he barely wears shoes in the summer!) because he is so active and is always running around and putting wear and tear on his shoes! That is why I must always find really tough, quality made shoes that won't fall apart but are still comfortable during his activities!

Crocs is one of those shoe companies for me that I can always count on to have tough, well made shoes that last for a long time! Plus, they are super cute! I especially love their selection of back-to-school shoes for the Fall!

They recently introduced several new back-to-school kids’ styles which fit school dress codes (closed toes, enclosed heels, and non-marking soles) and align with this year’s biggest back-to-school trends including bright sneakers and colorful boat shoes. They’re comfortable for all day activities/events. Plus, they all come at a price point moms love –$60 or less.

I received several super cute and stylish shoes for my children: the Hover Easy-on Sneaker, Retro Sprint Sneaker Kids, and the Hover Easyon Floral Sneaker Girls.

The Hover Easy-On Sneaker is my new favorite pair of shoes for my son!

I love that there aren't any annoying shoelaces to tie over and over and my son can easily slip into these shoes and be active! These shoes are available in kids’ sizes C6-C13 and are available in Sea Blue/Smoke (shown) and Pink Lemonade/Fuchsia for a MSRP of $40.00.

The Retro Sprint Sneaker Kids remind me of something my brothers may have worn when they were young...twenty years ago!! The colors and style are so retro! :)

They are a little harder to put on but they are still great with no laces and easy straps! They look way heavier than they actually are. They have really lightweight soles and are great for running fast! :)

They are so cute and are great for little active boys like mine! They are available in kids’ sizes C6-C13 in Pink Lemonade/White, Black, Light Grey/Sea Blue (shown above), and Lavender/Dahlia for a MSRP of $40.00.

My favorite new shoes for my daughter are the Hover Easyon Floral Sneaker Girls! I love the cute purple design and once again, they have no laces and are easy to slip on with one hand (which is all I ever seem to have these days!). They are available in kids’ sizes C6-C13 in Dahlia/Lavender (shown above) for a MSRP of $40.00.

My favorite part about ALL crocs is the lightweight soles made from Croslite™ material, a proprietary, revolutionary technology that gives each pair of shoes soft, comfortable, lightweight and odor-resistant qualities. The material of the shoes are heavy-duty and durable but the shoes are so much lighter because their soles are so lightweight! It makes running so much easier for my son!

So if you are looking for affordable but quality made shoes for your children as they head back to school, check out the great selection of cute and "tough" shoes for your active children from Crocs! They will be both comfortable for your children and easy on your budget!

Buy It: You can purchase all new Back to School Shoes from Crocs on the Crocs website.

Get Yourself the Perfect Handbag!

What is your favorite style of handbag??

I used to like the nice small purses that don't get in the way, aren't heavy to carry, and can be left behind when you don't want to take a purse.

NOW, as a mom, I am always carrying a huge and HEAVY tote type handbag around with me wherever I go! This is mostly because it also doubles as my diaper bag most of the time and also an activity holder for my toddler! I always call it my "Mary Poppins" purse because I can never find anything and it seems like I could just keep on digging in it (and never find bottom!) and pulling out item after item like Mary Poppins did in her bag!

I decided I needed a new handbag for the times I go out with my hubby, with friends or by myself and don't want to carry a huge and heavy handbag around with me! I love my new Annabel in Mallard handbag from this great new company called Emilie M.

Emilie M knows how hard it is for women to find the perfect handbag - one that fits their life in every pocket while accentuating their own personality. Launched in collaboration with Mondani Handbags & Accessories, Emilie M features timeless silhouettes, soft and rich animal-friendly materials and multi-organizational function. An easy weekend bag for a trip to the Hamptons. An attainable fashion statement for the mom on a budget. At a retail range of $50-$80, every Emilie M handbag is an investment piece without the investment.

Emilie M is dedicated to being the premier online resource for women to accessorize by offering exciting value product, an engaging shopping experience, access to our favorite style guides and unparalleled customer service. Unlike many of its peers, Emilie M’s direct communication with women allows us to incorporate their comments, ideas and even designs into their product offering and shopping experience. Through its beautiful product offering and unique engagement methods, Emilie M aims to build the first online accessories brand that speaks fashion and value directly to women.

The best feature about my new Emilie M handbag is that it is not bulky to carry but it definitely carries A LOT! It has three storage compartments in the purse and they all hold way more than they initially look like they could! I love how the middle compartment zips shut (and Stays Shut!) so nothing falls out or gets lost! It is also nicely organized and keeps me organized with a zippered compartment inside and two pockets!

The two side compartments have a magnetic clasp that keeps them shut and they also have A LOT of room for storage!

Check out the purse all closed up...it looks small and easy to carry!

But behind its small size, is a lot of storage and room for whatever you like to carry!!!

Since I am a mother, I definitely LOVE the storage but I also like it to be easy to carry (since I am usually carrying one or two children at the same time!). This handbag definitely gives me that!

The material is light and it fits perfectly under my arm! The only downfall is that the straps do tend to slip a little bit down my shoulder since there are two straps to stay up and they are made of a slippery material.

However, that is why this is my "No Kids" purse because I will have the patience and hands to help keep my purse on! :)

I love the green and brown colors...it adds some fun and color to my usually black, brown and white wardrobe and it really helps me feel stylish and young again! :)

At Emilie M, they believe that every woman should be able to accessorize luxuriously on any budget. I am sure all of you want that too so make sure to check out Emilie M's great selection of stylish BUT affordable handbags! You are sure to find one that fits your personality, lifestyle, and fashion sense!

Make sure to stay up to date with Emilie M and see when their new website launches by signing up for their newsletter, follow and pin Emilie M on Pinterest, and follow Emilie M on Facebook.

Buy It: You can purchase all Emilie M handbags at a retail range of $50-$80. Their Fall collection will be available very soon from their online shop: www.emiliemshop.com
