The New Tiffany & Co Aviator Lock Collection

2012-04-30T19:51:00.002-07:00

If you know me you know I have a deep love for sunglasses. Since my blog is built around fashion, I found it only fitting I should fill you all in on my new shades, and the newest collection from Tiffany & Co. I really couldn't find much about it on the internet, which I found surprising because I'm in love with the new aviator lock collection. So I apologize for the lack of pictures, but it's all I could find.

The glasses come in a couple different colors but I love the light blue. The lens is blue as well so you're seeing everything in an ocean color. Love these! Isn't the case gorgeous? ♥

I found these at Sunglass Hut for $330. They just came out last week. Whatcha think?

We are Moving & an Update

2012-04-30T19:40:00.002-07:00

So first, I would like to say I'm sorry for my lack of posts lately, but no need to worry I will return soon with tons of reviews and giveaways, I have been crazy busy, plus we are moving to WordPress finally! I'm so excited, not that I haven't enjoyed my time with Blogger, but it's time to move on. I've been messing around with my new camera lens, and trying to figure out how to use it. I'm thinking of taking some type of photography classes to learn, but I just dont have the time.

Mila is growing like a weed and I can't believe she is already 5 months today. Here is a picture of her and her friend Nolan.

Although it's a horrible picture of me, my grandmother is exactly 100 years older then Mila. Can you believe that? So here is a pic of me, Mila, my mother and my grandmother.

Here's a couple pictures I took with my new lens, and although I'm no where close to being an expert, I'm starting to get the jist of a macro lens and photoshopping.

New Camera Lens

2012-04-21T15:33:00.003-07:00

I finally went out and bought a new camera lens for my Nikon D90. I really look forward to learning how to use it, and showing you guys amazing photography. I hope one day to do some professional stuff... so for now I practice on Mila! (And a dying flower outside)

Camilia Natural Teething Gel Review + Giveaway

2012-04-19T17:19:00.001-07:00

Mila is almost 5 months old now, and she is starting to teeth. She even has a little tooth coming in at the top gum. I can tell it's hurting because she's been screaming and putting everything she can in her mouth. We have a couple teethers of course, but for the pain I looked for something safe and easy we can use when the tooth really starts hitting the gum. And although as a Mother, I'm super excited to see my baby's first tooth, I know it is very painful for her. Finally a found relief, when I found Camilia Natural Teething Gel.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

2012-04-04T19:42:00.000-07:00

This is my first Mother's Day as a new mother! And if you're completely out of the loop, in case you didn't know, Mother's Day AND Father's Day are right around the corner. These are always the hardest holidays for me to shop for, because my parents are soo difficult when it comes to presents. I rack my brain each year trying to figure out something original and unique, but I always end up buying a pair of shoes or a tie. Boring! So this year we are trying something new. Shutterfly is a great way to let someone know you care. Graduation season is also coming up, so what will you buy that person that has accomplished something amazing?

Here are a couple ideas:

I love the idea of putting a memorable picture on your cell phone case. Nowadays people are putting cheesy images on their Iphones and Blackberries, so why not give someone a beautiful case with their graduation picture? Shutterfly offers an Iphone only picture case that will surely remind every time you pick up your phone of that special moment.

My favorite idea is taking a memorable moment such as the one above and putting it on your bedroom wall as a Picture Wall Decal. Take any photo and make it life sized and high quality. Stick it anywhere on a wall and you have a life sized picture. I want to do this with my baby and take pictures of her and post them all over her wall. I think that is a super cute idea. Probably better for the younger crowd, but still a great gift to give someone. They will have nothing like it!

Another way to spruce up your home is a Canvas Print of one of your favorite pictures. Canvas is the new thing, out with frames and in with a colorful canvas picture. You can put together one or more then one picture to create a beautiful memory right on a gallery wrapped portrait canvas. You pick your size, style and of course print. This is something I'm considering giving my Mom for Mother's Day. You can even take your children's artwork and turn it into black and white or sepia tones. The possibilities are endless.

Another fun idea is a picture puzzle. Who doesn't love a good puzzle, especially when there is a good memory underneath. I know my Mom (and my probably my dad) would love this. I haven't put together a real puzzle in a long time, but it sounds like fun that the whole family can have fun doing. The more detailed the picture, the more fun! Available at Shutterfly for $24.99

These are just a few ideas of of what you can do for your Mom, Dad or whoever is graduating this year. Also works for weddings, birthdays and any other holiday. Photo Books, Iphone cases and Canvas Prints are just to name some of what Shutterfly has to offer. Visit Shutterfly for fun photo gifts.

Loving the Look: Biker Jacket Over Stripes

2012-04-03T20:07:00.000-07:00

My favorite look I've been seeing on celebs is the big striped sweater with a cute motorcycle jacket. Stars include Heidi Klum and Miranda Kerr. Here's the look put together much cheaper, the jacket is at Express for under $100!

Fraas Scarf Review

2012-03-29T21:48:00.000-07:00

Are you in the market for a new scarf? Yes Winter is ending, but that doesn't mean you can't stock up on a good looking scarf. Personally, I love collecting fun scarves, and Fraas is one company that I always end up looking into. And I'm a huge fan of leopard, who isn't? It never goes out of style, and it can really spruce up a boring outfit.

I found this fun video on You Tube, on 25 ways on how to wear a scarf. So I just had to share! There are SO many different ways to tie and wrap a gorgeous scarf or shawl, the possibilities are endless. I think that's why I had so much fun with my Fraas Scarf.

The Leopard scarf is from the Fraas 2012 collection, and will give any woman a more chic and edgy look. The leopard scarf comes in three different colors, mine is a gorgeous pink. "Our aim at FRAAS is to give consumers great choices of fresh products at affordable price points"

The scarf is super soft and measure 28 x 80 inches, so it's pretty big, and can be played around with many different ways. Check out the video I found, and to find out more about FRAAS scarves, visit fraas.com and amazon. The leopard scarf can be found on both sites for $40.http://www.fraas.com

Hush Puppies Review

2012-03-22T17:51:00.000-07:00

I'm not really a big fan of slippers, they make my feet sweat. Ew kinda gross right? Plus living in Arizona, it doesn't get that cold, but I think I found my new must have. Summer slippers! Basically a flip flop with a soft cushion.

Grandoe introduces the Hush Puppies Spring-Summer Break Slipper Collection of Plush, Plaid and Prints in Authentic Casual Style.

Hush Puppies slippers by Grandoe are the natural outgrowth of the collaboration of two companies that have a long history of providing comfortable and casual products to consumers. Their latest shared effort is the Hush Puppies Spring Break Collection for Spring/Summer 2012.

I'm been sporting the Willow Style, (seen above) and although purple my color, these thing are SO awesome! I wear them around the house everyday, when it's warm, cold and everything in between. The cushion is so soft on these slippers, it's like a pillow for your feet. Every step feels like you're walking on a cloud.

The Spring Break Collection is all about Plush, Plaids and Prints. Consisting of casual and unique slipper styles, this collection is designed to appeal to women and men seeking to express their individuality with fashion ease. Each style is ideal for lounging at home, spending time at the pool, beach or spa or even a neighborhood stroll with a pet. The FEATHERWEIGHT outsole is delightfully lightweight, yet durable for indoor/outdoor wear.

Two top styles for fashion savvy females are WILLOW and GINGER, both featuring a soft and super comfy micro-terry foot bed. Willow, a flip flop silhouette comes in lavender and red/taupe each with a solid foot bed and plaid straps, while Ginger, a clog design, is featured in white and black bodies, both with red plaid trim. They retail at department and specialty stores for $40 and $42 respectivity. The women's products run Sizes 6-10 and the men's from 9-13.

I can't say enough good things about these slippers. I am in love with them. I can't even call them a slipper, they are a soft cushioned flip flop perfect for all year. To purchase the Hush Puppy Slippers visit their website.

Also find Hush Puppy Slippers on Facebook to stay up to date with all their sales and new slippers!

Mohawk Rug Review + Giveaway

2012-03-21T18:30:00.001-07:00

Mohawk Home, the rug division of Mohawk Industries, is the largest manufacturer of area rugs, indoor and outdoor mats, and washable rugs in the United States.

Because we participate in a fashion industry, Mohawk Home employs a team of design professionals specifically recruited for their expertise in textiles and floor covering innovation. With a commitment to relevance in style we are continuously creating trend setting designs and constructions as well as updating timeless classics.

Since Mohawk Home is the biggest manufacturer of rugs in the US I've seen their products quite a bit in stores such as Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and Lowes. I've been in the market for a new area rug, because they make your house look so much nicer and they keep your original carpet clean. If you have a rug, or an ugly mark a beautiful rug will hide all problems, and leave your living space feeling much more like home.

Here are some of my favorite rugs from Mohawk Home:

Right now in my living room I have this circle rug, (read the review here) and so far so good. It's been over 6 months and it's still holding up extremely well. I vacuum over it, and with babies and dogs running around, Ican't believe it still looks just as great as it did the first day I got it.

Our house is a bit older, and it has some rough patches we haven't fixed up yet. One of the flaws is a huge hole in the carpet in the hallway, so I knew I had to get a runner to cover it up. After searching many rug stores, I knew I had to go back to my favorite rug company, Mohawk! Everywhere else simply didn't cut it. Too expensive, too cheap, too fancy, poor quality.. the list goes on and on. And of course Bella had to be in the picture. She never misses a chance to get involved!

(Before)

(After)

The Midtown Bungee Cord Runner matches my house perfectly, because of the dark chocolate brown and blue which is also the theme in my living room and bedroom. It's 2'1"W x 7'7"L and extremely affordable, less then $150!. Much cheaper then the runners we were looking at at places such as Rug World, and other furniture stores. It's 100% nylon and extremely durable, made to last. When you're purchasing a rug you really want a product that won't tear apart within months of purchasing it. Especially when you're someone like me who has a messy husband, dogs, cats or kids running around. I also failed to mention earlier we have spilled SO many things on our living room Mohawk Rug, and every thing has came out super easy. I even spilled nail polish AND nail polish remover, 2 things I thought for sure would leave a permanent stain. But everything that has spilled, (and trust me there's been a lot) has came right out. No problems.

Mohawk Rugs are available at retailers such as Lowes, Home Depot, Bed Bath and Beyond and Target. For a list of retailers, and to view Mohawk Rug's huge selection, click here.

Madonna's new Truth or Dare Shoeline

2012-03-20T20:25:00.000-07:00

Madonna launches new shoe line for grown ups called "Truth or Dare" They will be produced by Aldo, but will be sold at stores such as Nordstroms, Macys, and ASOS. The collection will be somewhat affordable ranging from $89 to $349. It will include boots, heels and flats. From the above picture, I'm wondering, "Are all the shoes black?" Ugh so boring...

So what do you think? Although I don't have much of a peek to show you, the above picture is a little glance at what is in store for us with the Material Girls' new lineup. I guess anything is better then a new perfume line right? I'm so over celeb perfumes.

Madonna's "Truth or Dare"new will also include, (later in the year) legwear and intimates. A bit more interesting then shoes, I can't wait to see what she comes out with.

Jamon Endiablado Review + Giveaway

2012-03-16T19:00:00.001-07:00

The project started with an idea. An idea that every person could wear a work of art during his/her daily activities.

All they needed then was an artist, someone who shared our passion for everyday expression and whose work spoke common emotions in an extraordinary way.

This is where Gerardo Vargas comes in and now that they found each other and started creating this label they would not have it any other way. His work on handmade silk screening is the perfect blend of stunning graphics and interesting character, the next step was to translate his images onto a different canvas: t-Shirts.

So their best wish is that you share this vision with them and rock your own Jamón Endiablado Tee because art makes everybody happy.

I received the Birds Top, (which is on sale now for $12) It's a form fitting flattering tank with a unique design on the front that had many people asking me where I got my top. Because of the original artwork, it's a shirt that you won't find many places, you won't find anyone else wearing the shirt around you because it really is one of a kind. I received many compliments on it, and I told a lot of my friends about Jamon Endiablado.

Here are some more of my favorites:

The Siren Top

The Boat Top

The City Top

Jamon Endiablado is having a huge sale right now. All their tops prices have been slashed. Overall, I love the quality and the look of their tops. It is truley wearable art. Visit their site now to purchase any of the above looks and many more.

The Giveaway:One winner will win the Leon top in their choice of size ($35 value) To enter, fill out the Rafflecopter below:

BB Becker Jewelry Review

2012-03-11T19:38:00.000-07:00

The leading designer of inspirational jewelry for a decade, BB Becker is known for remarkably legible and long-lasting words on jewelry. His engraved jewelry carries messages of love, joy, and peace. Carefully selected quotations are engraved in his wife, Josephine's distinctive handwriting. Each piece of sterling silver in BB's Signature Collection is skillfully handcrafted. A secondary collection, BB Boutique, is available in sterling silver and golden bronze.

I was first drawn to BB Becker jewelry because of the inspirational quotes on each piece. Josephine Becker personal handwriting makes every ring, every necklace one of a kind. The messages are those of love, joy and peace. All wordss to live by. All words of knowledge and many are words of great world leaders and poets.

How BB Becker is Different

Superior Depth Engraving. BB Becker’s jewelry is known for its superior depth engraving which produces remarkable legibility and a long-lasting imprint. His engraving process took two years to develop and remains a trade secret today. Although time consuming, each piece of jewelry is individually engraved rather than stamped or cast.

Carefully Selected Quotations. BB Becker’s carefully selected quotations are engraved in his wife’s distinctive handwriting for a personal touch rather than in block letters or a regimented font. The sentiments are chosen for their uplifting nature and wisdom. Often the quotations gain significance due to the life lived by the source.

Individually Handcrafted. BB Becker’s artisans skillfully handcraft each piece as opposed to casting many pieces from a single model. Respect for the precious metals of sterling silver and/or 14k gold is evident in the dedication to quality workmanship.

I received the "Like One" ring. The words read, "Like One, Like the Other, Like Daughter, Like Mother" I love this ring not only for the words but the design and look of the piece.

The ring is Sterling Silver, and simply gorgeous. I especially like the wrap around style. I haven' taken this off since the day I received it, and I don't plan on taking of off anytime soon. I like to think of it as something I will cherish forever, and when Mila is older it can be a special keepsake that she will wear when I'm gone.

I received this ring a couple weeks ago, but I held off a bit to write the review because I think , and although it is still far away this would make the perfect Mother's Day gift.

BB Becker has many different rings, necklaces and more to choose from, and they make the perfect gift for all occasions. Here are a few more of my favorite items from their site:

A Courageous Life Sterling Silver Pendant

"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage."

"The Greatest" Sterling Silver Dual Ring

"These three remain: Faith, Hope and Love. But the greatest of these is Love."
- 1st Corinthians

"A Gentle Way" Sterling Silver Moving Bracelet

In a gentle way, you can shake the world. - Ghandi

"Yours and Mine" Double Band Ring

Whatever our souls are made of, yours and mine are the same. - Emily Bronte

Each quote on each BB Becker jewelry piece is inspirational and at least for me, each day I look at my ring and read the writing and think how much I love it!

All BB Becker Designer Jewelry arrives in a beautiful ivory organza drawstring gift bag perfect for gift giving. Care Instructions and a quotation card are included as well.

Stop by BB Becker and check out their all their beautiful designs…

Cord Bracelets

Rings

Token Necklace Charms

Pendants

The "Like One" Ring is available at BB Becker for $139. Click here to find the closest BB Becker Jewelry Store near you.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.
- Mother Teresa

Small Concept Review + Giveaway

2012-03-10T19:51:00.003-08:00

The Small Concept mission is simple: to provide quality products and deliver only the best in customer service. We offer great brands like Tea Collection, Appaman, Deux Par Deux, Magnificent Baby, Wonder Boy, and much more.

I found so many cute outfits for Mila, I had a hard time picking my favorite. Not only outfits, but nursery decor, toys, maternity clothes and diaper bags. I only wish I knew about their website when I was pregnant, because I'm loving their styles for pregnancy! And we all know there aren't too many stylish "go to" sites for pregnant people. They are constantly having sales shipping specials, so I find myself checking back constantly for new items, and clearance products. They have many products you can mix and match such as tops and bottoms, along with dresses and even swimwear for your little one.

Appaman Roll Neck Tee Booted Fairies

Biscotti Navy/White Halter Dress

Lilac Robin Top

Apparman Ruffle Halter Bikini Top

These are just a few of the precious items you can find at Small Concept. They also carry toys, including this wooden raddle I found

Butterfly Teething Rattle

Mila was sent the Hannah Banana Tunic with Leggings ($62). And when I say this is my favorite outfit in her closet, I'm not exaggerating.

This adorable gray tunic has pockets has a mesh pane with sequin embroidery. Cream leggings with grey multi ruffles complete this great outfit. Obviously not Mila seen above, but a beautiful little girl is modeling the outfit. Because the size is 12 months, Mila can't fit into it just yet, but I can't wait till she can! The best part about the piece is the quality. It's super soft and each sequin is perfectly placed on the shirt. A gorgeous pink bow finishes off the look, and the leggings with the bows at the bottom of the ruffles adds a beautiful finishing touch. It even has pockets. What little girl wouldn't look great in it? It comes in 12 months to 6 years old, so whether you have a baby or an older girl, the tunic outfit is a one of a kind!

Small Concept is constantly updating their inventory, so check back often for new items. Right now they are having a great sale going on, prices have been cut in half, check here for their list of clearance products. Visit Small Concepts Facebook page to stay in the loop too!

Baby Legs Review

2012-03-07T19:46:00.000-08:00

BabyLegs was invented by a mom seeking for a solution to keep her daughter's legs warm while she was diaper-free. Little did she know that the BabyLegs leg warmers would quickly become a parenting essential due to their utility, practicality, and fashionable appeal. They have added socks and tights to their line since then, and more is on the way!

Mila has the Newborn Leg Warmers, which are on sale for $6 right now at BabyLegs.com Super cheap! She's wearing the Little Pink Ducky LegWarmers, a pretty light pink with little yellow duckies, and they fit her perfectly. She also has the Lil' Lilac and the Over the Rainbow Warmers, two super cute baby leggings, both on sale and perfect if you have hard floors or rough carpet in your house. Of course Mila isn't crawling yet, but the leggings are also good for when it's cold outside and I want to put Mila in a dress but I don't want to leave her legs bare, so the warmers work well under a dress, like she's wearing above.

My favorite collection from Baby Legs is their adorable Hello Kitty socks, however they don't carry that line in Mila's size so when she's a little bit older, I plan on buying them up because they are so cute! Baby Legs are great for when your baby starts to crawling, so your little baby won't get rug burns or hurt themselves while crawling around on their little knees.

I also love the new bug collection, which consists of slugs, fleas and of course the social butterfly. Who knew yucky bugs could be so cute on little baby socks?

And if none of the above fit your personal style, there are many more to choose from. Baby Legs is constantly updating their inventory, so you will always find a style and color that fits you, (and of course your baby) And don't think they are just good for Winter, they are great for summer too. Do you have a little crawler that love the outdoors? Well Baby Legs work for grass, concrete and anywhere else your baby likes to move around. Baby Legs are also organic and latex free. They complete any outfit, for a boy or girl!

Visit BabyLegs.com to see all their styles and huge variety of socks, warmers and more. Also visit Baby Legs on Facebook and Twitter to stay in the loop for their sales and new products.

Vince Camuto Eau de Parfum Review + Giveaway

2012-03-05T19:58:00.003-08:00

Vince Camuto Eau de Parfum is the debut fragrance of the self-described "fashion footwear and lifestyle designer." The perfume launched exclusively this month on the HSN channel and website. Camuto appeared to promote his signature scent with wife Louise Camuto;. Both were involved in the development of the fragrance through what sounds like a selective process, rather than a perfume development from scratch. One day finally, as Louise Camuto was wearing a new sample unbeknownst to her husband, she provoked an aha reaction in him. Vince Camuto, who had been rejecting mods after mods, that day ondered what that great smell was in the room.

I never even knew Vince Camuto made perfume, I've always used his makeup brand, but I was super excited to try out the perfume. Vince Camuto has been in the footwear industry for 30 plus years (he was a co-founder of Nine West). He started the Vince Camuto Collection in footwear and then launched his collection into a lifestyle brand. The bottle is super gorgeous, and I knew this was my kind of scent. Even before I smelled it. Fit for a princess, the bottle is a sleek gold flacon with a red ribbon. The top is shaped like the logo of the company. This is how all perfume bottles should be designed. Classic yet fresh and stylish.

So what does it smell like? I'm having a hard time explaining exactly what the smell is, but I know i love it. It smells of glamour and romance, but there is no musky or dark strong scent, I get a strong whiff of leather and nectar, (which is the top note) It smells similar to Dior Cherie, which is one of my all time favorite perfumes, maybe that's what I'm so drawn to this one.

Vince Camuto describes this parfum as "sophisticated, sexy and contemporary"

Kolcraft Baby Sit & Step Activity Center Review

2012-02-28T20:36:00.000-08:00

Mila is 3 months old now, which means it's time for her to get an activity center! I had decided earlier I would get the same one my friend has, the Evenflo Exersaucer, which her baby loves. But then I found something that peaked my interest. The Kolcraft Baby Sit & Step Activity Center grows with your child! It's first an activity center for a 4 month old and then becomes a walk behind walker for a 9 month old.

The Kolcraft Baby Sit & Step 2-in-1 Activity Center has an abundance of developmental and educational activities for child to enjoy. It features an activity center with tons of toys and different tasks for the child to perform. It helps the child develop all sorts of cognitive and growth skills. It only requires 3 AAA batteries and gives a lot of bang for its buck.

Mila is almost 4 months old, not old enough yyet to reach the cute activities it has to offer, but she loves looking at the pretty colors and hearing the sounds from the activity center. The pinks and purples plus the bright green and orange activities really peaked her interest, and she couldn't stop staring at the lights. I know this will be a bit hit in our house.

Not many activity centers change into a walker, so this is definatly worth the price of $99, because it won't be used for only a couple months and then thrown out. Turning into a walker is a plus because now we won't have to go out and buy a separate product for when she can actually walk.

I had a hard time choosing between this and the Kolcraft Jeep Liberty Walker, another adorable Kolcraft product. Shaped like an adorable jeep, it's only a walker and not an activity center, so that is why I chose the Sit & Step Vs that one, although the jeep is so cute! So if you have an older child (9 months and up) the jeep is also an option.

The Kolcraft Baby Sit & Step is everything I wanted in an activity center and much more. I would give this 5 stars for the safety aspect, the activities and the soft seating. I have nothing bad to say about it. And at $99, it may seem expensive, but you really are getting a 2 for 1 deal, since you won't need a walker after your baby grows out of the activity center.

Kolcraft's Baby Sit & Step is available on Amazon.com , Target.Com, and Walmart for around $99. Kolcraft also sells many other activity centers, along with an adorable new line of Sesame Street Walkers. Also find Kolcraft on Facebook & Twitter so you can stay up to date with their new products.

What's the latest trend I've been seeing on celebs lately? Animal hats!

AnimalHeadGear.com is one of the most popular websites for animal hats. With so many styles to choose from, it's hard to pick just one.
