Glup Baby Accessories Provide Practical and Trendy Essentials for Little Ones-Giveaway

When my boys were babies, I learned for the first time how much easier life could be with the right baby gear. I had that common mentality of thinking that all strollers, diaper bags and infant outerwear was the same until I was actually using some different products. That’s when it became clear that well-designed baby products were worth their weight in gold to a frazzled new mom.

Sisters Alexandra and Isabelle created the company because they knew that mothers crave products that are useful, stylish and environmentally responsible. But above all else, mothers crave products that make life with a little one easier!

I recently received the Glup Drool Bib, Trimini and Diaper Bag to review and I was excited to see exactly what made these products, which are designed and manufactured right in Quebec, Canada, so special. I checked out the Drool Bib first because the design seemed so ingenious for both parents and babies. [Read more...]

Let Your Child Add Style to Their Look with Hats from House of Koopslie-Giveaway

I love accessorizing and my boys have inherited that same love. Zackary and Benjamin both have a strong opinion when it comes to clothing and they take a great deal of pleasure in picking out clothing that they especially like. But while trendy shirts and cool jeans are easy to find, accessories for boys are a little scarce. That’s why I was thrilled when the Canadian momtrepreneur company House of Koopslie invited me to review its adorable hats.

With a large variety of colours and screen-printed designs to suit different styles, they are a fun and easy way of personalizing an outfit. I knew my boys would be much happier if they could pick out their own hats, so we spent some time looking through the Fall 2012 collection so that they could choose their favourites.

Monika, the fabulous woman behind House of Koopslie, very generously gave all three of us the chance to try a hat, so Zackary chose black with a blue car, Benjamin chose blue with a green dinosaur and I chose black with a cute pink fabric rose. When the hats arrived, we all had to pull them on right away! [Read more...]

Chesapeake Ribbons Belts and Accessories-Review and Giveaway

Holiday Gift for Stylish Kids and Adults

There’s nothing better than the way that a cute accessory can take an outfit from so-so to whoa! I have an obsessive love of jeans and t-shirts because they provide a comfortable, cute and low-maintenance outfit for a day of running after children. But no matter how adorable the jeans and how stylish the shirt, the same two pieces can sometimes get a little boring. When I find myself suffering from denim boredom, I know that a sweet accessory is sure to revive my look. So when I was given the chance to review one of the stylish belts from Chesapeake Ribbons, I was thrilled.

Chesapeake Ribbons Crab BeltThis fun and funky online shop offers hair ribbons, belts and key fobs in a variety of gorgeous prints and sizes for both children and adults. I received an adult Crab Belt in a small size to review. This gorgeous belt featured brown fabric ribbon on a pink heavy-duty cotton webbing back with a pattern of pink crabs across the chocolaty material. I loved the classy color combination and couldn’t wait to try the belt on with my favorite pair of jeans.

The belt featured nickel D-rings as fasteners that were quick and easy to buckle and I loved the way the flash of pink and brown dressed up my look. The belt was completely gorgeous and I got numerous compliments on it over the next few weeks.

I tend to vary between a small and a medium size and the belt did fit all of my pants, but with some of my lower cut hip-hugger jeans I found that I didn’t have very much extra length to play with. If you’re a fan of hip-huggers, I definitely recommend ordering a size up to be sure that you have enough length to adjust the belt perfectly.

Chesapeake Ribbons Whale BeltThe accessories offered by Chesapeake Ribbons come in a variety of trendy patterns and so many great color combinations. With funky fabrics to suit men, women and children, everyone in the family can add a fun and fashionable touch to their outfit.
