Bellaziza - Pretty Precious. Exquisite Children's Accessories

When we first saw this lovely collection of jewelry, we were so touched by the handcrafted beauty that goes into each piece and the memories that can be represented.  In what seems to be an endless supply of mom inspired jewelry, Lisa Leonard’s collection is really so much different… and it’s not just for moms either.

Get creative!  Each piece is not only personalized, but you can design it yourself in that the words that you choose can mean so many different things.  Maybe yours will have the names of your children, or a name on one Tiny Square and a secret message on the other behind it!  

Lisa Leonard has captured the poetry of life in her collection and we just love it’s fresh perspective on design and sentiment.  Take some time to look through her website and you will be sure to be inspired!  Also, take the opportunity to save 20% on all purchases of $100 or more with code JUNESALE20 this week only!  Visit www.lisaleonardonline.com for more info.

Congratulations to Tacey L. of NM who is the winner of our Huddy Buddy SWAG ALERT!  Please check back soon for more of the absolute best just for you, and of course more great SWAG ALERTS where you too can win!!!

We recently found the absolute cutest line of tee’s for kids - Huddy Buddy!!  They have the most adorable little  illustrations on them and take on a little bit of a retro twist, which we really love.  Check them out at www.huddybuddy.com to see all of their designs.  

We especially love the “We Take The Cake” shirt with it’s too cute cupcake shop theme.  It is also Suri Cruise’s favorite Huddy Buddy shirt, but we share the same love for cupcakes in general with her and her mommy Katie, so that’s no big surprise here.  Great minds think alike… and love cupcakes!

They also have a really nice line of sibling shirts which are soooo the perfect gift for your neighbors who are expecting #2 or more!    

One lucky reader will win their choice of any Huddy Buddy shirt too!  Just email us at “reviews@bellaziza.com” with “HUDDY BUDDY SWAG” in the subject line.  Visit their website and let us know which of their designs is your favorite and why.  All entries must be received by Sunday, June 22, midnight, PST.  You may enter once per email address per day.  Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org.  Good luck to all!!!

Stay tuned for more great SWAG ALERTS coming up really soon including more great Favorite Things from Phil&Teds, and the cutest little T shirts ever from Huddy Buddy!!!

Happy Father’s Day to all of the great dads out there!  We have put together a fabulous list for the shopping moms of a few of our Favorite Things that we think you’ll love on your special day!

First off is Sprinkles Cupcakes!  What Father’s Day would be complete without something sweet for dad?  Sprinkles has put together a special dozen just for Dads including their Peanut Butter Chip, Red Velvet, Black and White and Vanilla Milk Chocolate.  Tres yummy and just perfect with the little “DAD” motif!  We definitely heart Sprinkles! 

Next we have some fabulously innovative and super cool products from Dad Gear!  Dads are sure to love their incredible line of Cargo Jacket Wearable Diaper Bags and their new one-of-a-kind messenger bags from their Billboard Collection!  

The thing that makes Dad Gear’s products so incredible is the fact that they look incredibly sporty and cool and at the same time, all function as a diaper bag!  CLICK HERE to watch a quick explanation of just how the Cargo Jacket Wearable Diaper Bag works!  It even has a pocket just for your iPod or MP3 player with a little slot for your headphones to come out of - SO cool!  

Their Billboard Collection of messenger bags is such a trendy little concept too.  They actually recycle used billboards that have been in use in their area that would otherwise end up in a landfill, cutting out and reusing what they think will look cool as the front of your bag!  It’s very green, but at the same time so unique and not a style sacrifice at all!  We LOVE it!  CLICK HERE for a quick video about these great bags!

As all of our readers know, we REALLY have a thing for Phil& Teds. If we had a Favorite Favorite Things list, they would be there without a doubt!  We just love their gadgety-innovative-incredibly-high-quality approach to everything that they make!!!  

We saw their Escape child backpack and knew it would be the perfect thing for Dad!  It is such a fun piece of equipment with every ounce of the quality and comfort that we expect from any Phil&Teds product.  We couldn’t be happier with this product, from the specially designed air-flow backing material, to the super comfortable back supports, to the adorable detachable backpack for junior that snaps on the back of the Escape or comes off for separate use by your cutie pie.  It’s another wonderful product from Phil&Teds and one that your family is sure to get loads of use out of.

Enter to be the one lucky reader to win all of this fabulous FATHER’S DAY SWAG!  Just email us at “reviews@bellaziza.com” with “FATHER’S DAY SWAG” in the subject line.  Let us know which of our picks is your favorite and why.  All entries must be received by Sunday, June 15, midnight, PST.  You may enter once per email address per day.  Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org.  Good luck to all, and HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!!!

Okay girls, these have got to be the absolute best chocolate chip cookies…EVER.  Thank you Neiman Marcus!  Seriously, just give the recipe a try and you’ll be a believer.  

We have been using it for years now and have a few tricks…mix the butter and sugars very well so that they are a smooth and creamy consistency.  Also, barely mix in the egg.  This is important.  Over-mixing the egg will actually give you ‘tough cookies’…hehe:).  We also sometimes substitute 1 cup of flour for oatmeal.  A perfect treat for Father’s Day or anytime…enjoy!

When we first saw their little shirts from across the room, we were like ‘OMG, TOO CUTE!!’  They would have to be the hippest threads out there for any little man.  We hear moms of little boys saying all the time that it’s harder to find really great things for boys than it is for girls and to be quite frank, it is a fact.  That’s why D-Mo Baby’s line of boys clothes is oh so special!

Each little shirt is very Barney’s-esque and definitely too cool for school.  When paired with one of their little blazers though, it’s a real tear jerker!  Again, OMG, TOO CUTE!!  The quality of the materials used is gorgeous and the little shirts seriously look great straight out of the dryer!  They wash extremely well, as a quality garment should, and we are SO very happy to have found them. 

The designer, Dana Morgan-Hovind is a former corporate gal who after having her son was disappointed with the selection of fashionable clothes for boys that was available.  She loved to shop for her husband’s clothes but couldn’t find what she wanted for her son!  She was not the only mother out there with the same problem, and that’s why she is finding her success now!  Go Dana!!!

D Mo Baby not only offers a truly unique and A-list worthy product, but their story really inspires us.  Dream big and see what happens!

Congratulations to Brenda J. of Ketchikan, AK who is the winner of our SWAG ALERT from Boon, Inc.!
