Baby Cottage Gifts {Review}

I have a few favorite websites that I use to basically fulfill all of my shopping needs, and

 recently, I just added a new one: Baby Cottage Gifts.  

From their website:

Baby Cottage Gifts is a mom-owned, upscale children's and baby boutique with products to fit every budget! We offer designer baby brands such as Noodle and Boo, Bebe au Lait, Robeez, Jack and Lily, Trumpette, Uglydoll,BabyLegs, Beba  Bean, Diapees and Wipees. We also offer unique products made by WAHM's (work-at-home-moms), including our own brand, The Pat-a-Cake Baby! 

There is so much to fall in love with at Baby Cottage Gifts.

They offer a HUGE collection of gifts under $20, including everything from bibs to burp cloths

to Baby Legs,

An adorable selection of clothing and footwear,

Gorgeous selections of room decor, 

And that is just the beginning.   Are you beginning to understand why Baby Cottage Gifts so quickly catapulted to one of my favorite online baby boutiques ever??

Recently I had the opportunity to review the Mocha Lovey Blanket

and I can honestly say I "lovey" it.

The front side is a gorgeous print, made of bright colors sure to captivate baby.  The stitch work is flawless, the construction sturdy.  The cotton material is not the softest or cuddliest, but certainly the cutest.

The back side is quite a different story.  Used is some of the plushest minky-dot fabric I have ever rubbed my cheeks against, creating a true cuddly, can't-go-anywhere-without lovey. The satin edging is thick and high-quality and while snagging at some point may be inevitable, does not seem to be likely.

All of you need to go on and take a gander at all that Baby Cottage Gifts has to offer.  But make sure you leave yourself plenty of time...you won't be going anywhere soon.

Added BONUS:  Baby Cottage Gifts is offering Just for Me...and You readers a 15% discount on all purchases.  Just enter code BABYLOVE at checkout.

Let the shopping begin!!

Coco Bonbons Review & {GIVEAWAY!!}

Are you ready for this??  A DOUBLE review....

Looking for unique and fun clothes for your kids that can be worn for more than a photo shoot on a pristine sofa??  Coco Bonbons is the answer.  

From their website:

Using a bright color palette and clever design features, coco bonbons has taken

some of the universal loves of children and brought them to life on coats and separates. Parents will appreciate the quality fabrics and detailed  embroidery of these wearable works-of-art while children will treat the  clothes like a favorite toy--they won't go anywhere without them.

I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the Maison Knit Flower Print Dress with matching umbrella , and instantly, I was impressed. 

 The cuteness of Coco Bonbon clothing is obvious.  What was not obvious was the attention to detail.  The dress has an adorable elastic band around the waste and sleeves, adding that certain something.  The fabric is incredibly soft and thick, a sure sign of quality and durability.

 The umbrella is adorned with fun pink beads on each end, adding even more character.  The absolute best part about the Coco Bonbons brand??  They provide adorable clothing that is actually wearable, creating an versatile wardrobe for your little one.  

  My little Linley is set to go from a birthday party, to the doctor's office, to a play date in the park in her little Maison  dress.  And who knew that a two year old could fall so deeply in love with a little umbrella??  It has not left her side.  We should all be so lucky to have clothing and accessories have that sort of effect on us!

Coco Bonbons is a brand to remember when it comes time to shop for the little ones.  It is a one stop shop featuring everything from stylish clothing for boys and girls, to an unbelievable collection of rain gear.  The clothing fits true to size and utilizes playful patterns, quality fabrics, and bright and whimsical designs...a combination sure to make mom and child happy!!

I was able to review this adorable outfit from the Boys Clark (Golf) Collection:

The shirt is thick and well made. I have washed it and the applique still looks brand new. 

The shorts are to die for. Carson has already worn them like 10 times. They fit him like they were made for him. 

I was a little disappointed with how little the belt was that came with the shorts. I actually ended up just taking it off. Despite the belt, I definitely plan on purchasing from Coco Bonbons in the future.

With so many classy, unique choices for our little ones, it is going to be hard to resist.

I really want this from the Charlie (suits) collection:And these from the Boys Frog/Bugs Raingear collection:Do check Coco Bonbons out. You won't be able to stop yourself either.

Jack and Lily Shoes Review & {GIVEAWAY!} CLOSED

Giveaway is closed.  Winner is Cherry Blossoms.  Thanks all for entering!!

We all want the best for our babies.  The softest blankets, the purest soaps, the cuddliest clothes. Shoes should be no different.  Sometimes our babies feet need covering, and when they do, they should be wearing Jack and Lily shoes.

From the Jack and Lily website:

Inspired by a baby's sense of touch, Jack and Lily's specialty footwear is the next step in designer baby shoes. Made from the finest 'Lamb Touch' leather, our handcrafted slip-ons are the softest baby shoe available today. Specially designed to encourage a baby's development, our beautifully appointed, soft-soled shoes invite babies to discover, touch and smile. Playing with our new 'Soft Touch' patches or taking first steps, babies are well heeled to explore the world with our naturally durable, non-slip shoes.

Recently I had the opportunity to review a pair of "my boots" from Jack and Lily's "my shoes" collection, and they did not disappoint.  As soon as I opened the adorable gift box, I fell in love.  The leather is truly of the highest quality, supple and flexible, while still maintaining durability.  The lining is unbelievably plush, and made of breathable, non-allergenic lining to keep baby's feet dry and cozy.  The "my boots" also feature Jack and Lily's signature double stitch (no worries about these little beauties falling apart), as well as a double elastic ankle that offers support for growing little feet- probably one of my favorite features. All the shoes from the "my shoes" line have a soft, skid resistant sole that is perfect for indoors as well as outdoors.  Additionally, their shoes are also refreshingly lightweight- fabulous for new walkers and toddlers.   Did I mention they are perfectly gorgeous to boot (no pun intended)??  Nothing beats a shoe for the little one that is stylish, comfy, and functional!!  Jack and Lily has not overlooked a single detail!!

Additionally, Jack and Lily offer one of the largest collections of soft shoes I've seen, featuring over 70 styles.  Their "Original Collection" of shoes are recommended by medical experts, offer the same plush "lamb's touch" leather, and are even machine washable.  And, they are perfectly adorable!!

Dying to get your little one's feet into a pair of Jack and Lily's?  Visit their website now.  And for a limited time, buy any two pairs of Jack and Lily shoes, and receive free shipping.  See their website for details.

WIN IT:

Jack and Lily has generously offered one reader their very own pair of Jack and Lily shoes.

Mandatory entry: Visit Jack and Lily and come back and let us know your favorite shoe on their website.

You must complete the mandatory entry before doing any extra entries.

Recently, Layers Clothing gave me the opportunity to review this perfect swimsuit:

And by perfect, I mean perfect.  The quality is phenomenal.  The cut is amazing.  No constant adjusting necessary here.  This suit is built to fit the female body, and it definitely made me feel confident and comfortable (okay, well as confident and comfortable as I will ever feel in a swim suit).  I felt covered yet sexy, and those are two words that rarely fit together when speaking swimwear.

Dying to get your hands on your own bathing beauty?  Head on over to Layers Clothing right now and check out their fabulous Spring Collection and Swimwear line. You will not be disappointed.
