Nicole Richie was spotted at Petit Tresor in West Hollywood over the weekend with two of her girlfriends.  She purchased one of those great stroller liners from Booyah Baby, a favorite of celebutots in Hollywood including Max & Emme, Eden & Savannah, Nahla, Jayden James and Sean Preston!

Of course, she had to have the matching bibs and burpclothes for precious little Harlow too!  The stroller liner retails for $69, and can be purchased online at BooyahBaby.com.

Happy Holidays from your Favorite Elves!!!

By this point, every one of you has to have heard of Plain Mary, right?!?!  It’s causing a little hysteria on the baby scene in LA these days, as everyone just HAS to have one of Plain Mary’s Kensington Play Mats for their little one(s) and their other Plain Mary essentials like their tees, bibs and burp cloths too!  Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have them for Knox and Vivienne.  Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have them for little Max and Emme.  Jennifer Garner, Heidi Klum, Brooke Shields, Nicole Ritchie, Uma Thurman, and more have all used them with their babies too!  In short, if there was one single baby item that everyone in-the-know just could not live without, Plain Mary’s Kensington Play Mat would have to be it.

We first saw the Kensington Play Mat at a trade show in New York last fall.  We thought it was beautiful, but didn’t really see it up close to be able to appreciate the real reasons that it has become SUCH a success for Plain Mary!  After seeing a recent sample and putting it through our little battery of textiles tests, we can see why it’s so popular and an amazing product totally worth the $190 price tag.

It’s not just your average play mat, which is apparent from the beginning.  Where are the toys?  Where are the cutesy characters and patterns?  How about the chimey-digitized “music” that is sure to drive you nuts?  You’ll find none of those things here.  What you will find is twice the size of a traditional play mat!  It’s B.Y.O.T., but we like that since it can be overstimulating to have the usual ten different toys suspended overhead anyway!  The fabric is the most luxurious microfiber and it is virtually impossible to stain.  It is very cushy with the thick quilted padding,  hard for little hands to grasp (so it stays in place) and is surely one of the most useful things that you could have for your little one!

What we love most is the fact that after repeated wash and drys, stain tests, and more, not only does it look great, IT STILL LOOKS NEW!!! That’s amazing, and we really do try! We love the sturdy stitching in the quilting and the silk threaded embroidery is just luscious.

Why “SUPER”? Because this week’s SWAG ALERT truly is!!! We’re swagging one lucky reader with the entire Organic Crib Mattress and Accessories line from Netto Collection! Yes you read that right, all 4 pieces valued at over $700!!!

We are really big fans of anything cozy around here.  The softer, fluffier and bigger the better!  The Snuggly by Cover Me Collections of New Zealand is the most amazing blanket for both babies and children of all ages.  It’s not your typical blanket for lots of reasons…oh and by the way, we REALLY do look all over to bring you the absolute BEST:)!!!

First things first… it’s huge!  It measures 150cm x 120cm (that’s about 5ft x 4ft for those of us on the left side of the pond).  It’s not the usual 29″x35″ baby blanket that costs what, $80 and may or may not hold up so well?  It is twice that in size and so much more in quality and durability.  It is appropriate for small babies as well as children of all ages, growing with the child in this way!  It’s a true heirloom.

It is made of one of the premier natural fibers in the world, New Zealand Merino Wool.  New Zealand Merino Wool is different from other wools and merino wools from around the world as it is known especially for its unmatched softness and luxurious feel.  Think fine cashmere without the shedding or super delicate nature.  New Zealand Merino Wool is one of the softest and finest fibers in the world and is produced exclusively by New Zealand high country farmers who are committed to finding harmony with nature.  No chemicals or unsafe treatments here - only purity and cozy warmth for your little ones.

The Snuggly is lightweight and machine washable.  We tested it out a few different ways, a few spills, etc and then a few wash and dries and it really is amazingly well-made.  You would think that with it being wool that it would be a washing nightmare with kids, but it in fact has proven to be the exact opposite!

Using the absolute best materials really does make such a difference from the wool to the gorgeous French ribbon around the edge.  You can really tell after experiencing this balnket just how much thought and care went into it and how no corners were cut at all in its production…well except for the four corners themselves!

Moms and Dads, would you like your own version of The Snuggly?  Lucky you!!!  Cover Me Collections has also made an equally luxurious and super cozy throw for you bigger babies out there, The Passion Throw!  It’s absolutely gorgeous, compliments any decor and is made with the same integrity and quality of The Snuggly, including being made with the same 100% New Zealand Merino Wool.

Check out www.covermeblankets.co.nz for more information, or to purchase.  They retail at $199 NZD (Just under $135 USD based on today’s exchange rates) and are sure to impress as the perfect gift.  Also, shop right now and save 30% on a limited selection!  They are happy to ship anywhere in the world too so hurry before they run out or the exchange rates change:)!  Once distributed widely within the US, the price may not be this good!!!

Last week we posted late, so here’s early!  To win your choice of your very own Backpack and Lunch Tote from Hatley valued at $50, visit their website and email us with what you love most about their super cute collection.  Email swag@bellazizasfavorites.com with ”HATLEY SCHOOL SWAG” in the subject line.

All entries must be received by Monday, September 29th at midnight, PST. You may enter once per email address per day. Winner will be chosen on Tuesday via random.org. Winner will be fetched using Prizey.net.

EXTRA ENTRIES are available for subscribing to our blog, blogging about us on your blog, AND/OR adding our button to your blog too!  Just email swag@bellazizasfavorites.com letting us know what you did for your extras and we’ll make sure to count them!

Hatley is one of our absolute Favorites for that indispensable genre of clothing that might not fall into the extraordinary every time, but that none of us can live without…Everyday Clothes!  Hatley’s new colors and patterns for this fall are beautiful and so much fun!  They are of course in keeping with their Nature theme, apples, horses, dinosaurs, the ever popular moose, and this time around there’s even some alien action!

Hatley’s new backpacks and lunch totes are pretty impressive.  They of course are made with the high quality that we would expect form all things labeled Hatley, but they spare no expense in the design and production departments!  It’s so great when something works and functions as well as it looks, right?!?!  That’s typically Hatley!

The backpack is very roomy without being oversized, and makes great use of its’ compartments.  The lunch tote fits very neatly inside too!  The zippers are made for kid-use and the canvas that they are constructed of is absolutely made for loads of loads and multiple washings.  We love the apple print the most but were a little concerned as it is mostly white…hmmm…SCOTCHGUARD, GIRLS!  It works fabulously and will keep people in wonder and amazement of how you could be that good to keep your little sweetie in a white backpack that always looks new!

The Lunch Tote is fabulous too and makes a great little travel cooler as well if your set hasn’t reached school age yet.  Again, it washes quite well and you can keep it looking new forever with a little Scotchguard.  The inside is lined in plastic, and there’s an elastic tether to keep things from bouncing around inside.

The Backpacks are $30 and the Lunch Totes are $20 and are available to ship immediately.  Check them out online to browse or place your order, CLICK HERE or on the button below to see their website.  All items ship from Canada, so give a little extra time for shipping.

Also, stay tuned for our upcoming reviews of their fabulous new outerwear collections including matching Rain Essentials (raincoats, rain boots, and the weetest little umbrellas you’ve ever seen) and Snow Essentials (fluffy snow jackets, snow pants and matching snow boots fit for the Canadian cold!).  They are all absolutely adorable!!!

We are absolutely in love with Right Bank Babies’ new couture line, Cha Belle by Right Bank Babies .  Right Bank Babies had gotten it right from the beginning in our opinion, but with Cha Belle by Right Bank Babies they have absolutely outdone themselves.

With Cha Belle by Right Bank Babies it’s all about the subtle details. It’s the luxurious fabrics, the delicate ruffles, the lush gathers and the flawless lines of the garments’ design…a true heirloom collection for boys and girls.  It’s all of this that makes Cha Belle by Right Bank Babies exquisite, yet at the same time it’s so not overdone like many lines attempting to do the same. The simplicity almost catches you by surprise. It’s the movement of the fabrics and the draping of the garment that make Cha Belle by Right Bank Babies such a unique collection, comprised of ‘finishing touches’.

We saw the entire collection at a trade show, but were able to test out their Babydoll Top, Pinafore, Toile Pants and Princess Pants here at Chez Bellaziza. All were truly magnificent (of course!) and had that great mix and match quality in true Right Bank Babies style!

We love the Pinafore with a great little pair of jeans underneath and ballet slippers, as pictured. It’s a very sweet yet unexpected look, very quaint but a little edgy. The Babydoll Top has to be seen and felt to really be experienced. This top is the true essence of the collection with its’ fine choice of fabrics (linen and cotton voile) and its’ beautiful details such as the generous pleating and hemline, and the sweet little bow in the front.

The Toile Pants are so classic and have the most beautiful cut to them around the waist. They perfectly accent that cutie pie baby belly both with their rich design and the luscious double-faced satin bow that sits just under your little one’s button. (Too too too too CUTE, trust us !!) They also cuff at the bottom so they will probably fit through multiple seasons! The Princess Pants are simple and very vintage with their light linen and warm vintage pattern, the perfect pant for so many occasions or just everyday!

Their more casual-esque pieces range in price from just under $30 to around $100.  Their more dressy pieces will be covered in a later review, so keep your eyes out for that and prepare to be amazed!!!

The care of the pieces is really easy too.  We have found them to hold up through multiple washes without looking washed at all, and ironing is optional for most.  They are a great example of why paying a little more for your children’s clothes should mean more wearings and less work for mom:)!

Please check them out online at www.chabelleforrbb.com .  It really is a very new line and they are still working out the kinks for their new shop online system.  We asked if it would be ok for you, our fabulous readers, to download their line sheets and contact them directly to place orders.  CLICK HERE to download their catalog, and contact them at 323.936.7296 to place your order.  They really are the sweetest girls in the world over there, so expect a fantastic experience when calling!  Shop online is so overrated these days anyway, right:)?!?!

It’s no secret that we are absolutely in love with two gentlemen from New Zealand by the names of Phil and Ted.  How cool are their products?  It’s not just a few either, but ALL OF THEM!  In our opinion the only ones qualified to out-do this dynamic duo are themselves…and they sure have with the Vibe!!!

How many mothers use a double stroller?  How many are lucky enough to have a Phil&Teds Double Inline?  Wouldn’t it be great if all of that rugged functionality came in one uber chic and luxurious package?  Wouldn’t it be even better if you could fold the whole thing up quickly and easily without any disassembly or breaking a nail?  What if it drove like a dream and had the lines of a thoroughbred?  What if the minute you started the engine you just knew you had arrived?  HALT!  Okay, must be dreaming about the Maseratti Quatro again *sigh*…or not?  It’s actually the new Phil&Teds Vibe that we’re describing and we know you’ll just love it.

All of you Bugaboo wheeling moms with #2 on the way please do pay close attention!  This could end your misery and pre-heal your impending Bugabooectomy.  Girls, you just shouldn’t have to give up your chic-factor over needing to upgrade to a double stroller.  Now you don’t, so don’t be another casualty!

The Vibe features super cushy removable padding that is both durable and easily washable.  The harness even has a slick little adjustment so that when Junior grows and needs to have his straps moved up a bit, it doesn’t take you forever trying to thread and re-thread.  Who’s been there moms?!?!  The main seat fully reclines in true Phil&Teds fashion to very comfortably accommodate an infant or snoozing toddler, and the whole thing folds up, doubles seat and all, with ease into one very compact unit.  It also features their new and improved braking system that sets itself in as little as the push of a button that is located right on the handlebar.

This is it!  Drumroll please!  Our NEW Favorite Pick for Best Double Stroller goes to the Phil&Teds Vibe!  For more information, please check out www.philandteds.com.  The Vibe retails at just under $800 with the doubles kit, or $679.00 without.  They can be purchased HERE.

Also, this is our 100th post at BellazizasFavorites.com and what could be more appropriate than our review of the most amazing product ever from Phil&Teds for the occasion?  It has been such a pleasure partnering with them over the past year!  We really appreciate their support for what we do and their absolute commitment to innovation and excellence within the industry.  We heart Phil&Teds!

Halle Berry, sweet baby Nahla and daddy Gabriel Aubry visited Petit Tresor in Los Angeles on Saturday to purchase a copy of Joel Harper’s Fit Pack DVD, and skincare products by Belli which have become all the rage for moms dealing with pregnancy skincare issues including those pesky stretchmarks.  They also have a fantastic line of skincare products just for baby too!

Robert Downey Jr and his wife, Susan Levin visited Petit Tresor in Brentwood, California this past Saturday. Robert has a son from a previous marriage, Indio who is fourteen.  He has been very open about having more children lately.  He also recently starred in Iron Man and Tropic Thunder.

He and Susan looked at several nursery items including cribs and changing tables. They left with pregnancy skincare products from Belli and several luxurious baby blankets from My Blankee.  Looks like a baby’s on the way to us!

We are excited to announce that over the next few weeks we will be featuring some fabulous stories on Petit Tresor - the hottest baby boutique in the country right now that ALL of the stars shop at out in LA!  We have insider information on who’s been shopping at the store and exactly what they are buying.  It’s all about the hottest new products that those in-the-know just can’t live without!

Be on the lookout for these exciting tidbits as well as all of the details of our recent interview with owner Nina Takesh!  We will also be reviewing many of their most luxuious products and of course doing some fabulous SWAG ALERTs too!  You will definitely not want to miss anything!!!

Happy Natonal Breastfeeding week everyone!  We just found an absolutely fabulous product for all of you nursing moms out there.  It’s called the Slurp & Burp.  Okay, so the name is a little funny, but the functionality of this fantastic product really makes up for it!

There are all sorts of little tricks to breastfeeding in public, but how many of us end up covering up our babies along with ourselves in the process?  There’s the good old blanket through the bra strap trick and now over the past few years there are nursing covers that drape around mom’s neck, securely covering both mom and the baby.  Wouldn’t it be nicer for all of the little nursing bundles out there though if they didn’t have to be covered while nursing?  We think so and that’s why we love the Slurp & Burp.  Come on Moms!  It gets hot and stuffy under all of those blankets and covers!  (It’s SO much fun when they just yank them off too, right?!?!)  Not anymore…thank you Slurp & Burp!

Slurp & Burp comes in a large variety of colors and designs, and retails at under $40.  It is made of super soft and stretchy cotton and comes with a built-in burpcloth, which is just so clever!  It’s really very comfortable and looks pretty cute too!  It comes in a nice little pouch too and makes a perfect gift.  Check them out online at www.slurpburp.com where you can see their collection and purchase them too!

We simply love Boon!  Everything is always so well designed and functional, and the quality is always excellent. When we found out about all of the new brilliant additions to their line though, we just had to pass it on to you!

It’s always nice to see any good business grow and succeed. It’s even better when you can see that it’s not just an effort of brilliant pr/marketing, but of their truly functional and high quality products. We wish Boon all of the success in the world for this reason. They have recently launched a bunch of great new products that we will detail for you, including a layette line, sterling silver baby and children’s jewelry, and some SUPER cool and well thought out feeding accessories.

The new Boon Layette line is fabulous! It is extremely well made with 100% fully combed cotton (for a super chic fit) and ultra cool prints and colors. We washed it, stained it, treated it, washed it and basically put it through the ringer….AND it came out like a champ! It is our new favorite layette line. We really believe in its quality. It is so nice to be able to buy beautiful things for your baby and not break the bank over it too, at between $15 and $30. Their collection includes bodysuits, coveralls, rompers, pants and hats.

Boon’s new collection of jewelry is absolute luxury. Their Boon-level of craftsmanship ensures that these pieces will be an exquisite keepsake, treasured for years to come. They are perfect for any special occasion and come in a variety of stunning designs. These are truly for that child in your life who has everything but deserves more! They range is size from newborn to toddler/child and are priced between $59 - $99 each. They are also perfect for engraving!

How many of us remember those days when little junior was learning how to eat solids and how frustrating that confounded baby spoon seemed? It was a true exercise in patience for us. Sweet potato puree all over the place:)! There has to be a better way! Well now there is with Boon’s new “Squirt“! It is a spoon that holds the food inside so that there is no more fumbling around with those little jars of food and the spoon and all of that. You simply SQUIRT your sweetie’s pureed treat into the spoon by squishing the handle which is filled with food. It is SUPER simple and even comes with a nifty cover so that you can save leftovers easily! Enter our Boon Swag Giveaway to win your own Squirt!

Their whole line of feeding gear is wonderful. The Snack Ball can also be yours too if you enter to win! It is a super chic, yet functional container that is perfect for those little fingers to keep their crackers or cereal in. It has a small-ish opening so that spills aren’t as dramatic, and the cover turns to open and close it completely. We love the fact that the plastic on all of their products are “safe” and eco-friendly too. It is another great part of their commitment to delivering you and your family only the BEST!

To win your own fabulous Squirt and Snack Ball from Boon, just email us with ‘”BOON SWAG” in the subject line and let us know which of their innovative products on www.booninc.com is your absolute favorite.

We recently got the chance to try out the super chic M1 Carrier from Lascal - a very innovative Swedish line of high quality children’s products. It is by far the most comfortable carrier on the market for both mother and baby and has so many other great features! It is naturally antibacterial due to its Bamboo fabric components (yayee!!!), and the Bamboo fabric top cover removes in a snap for easy cleaning and also functions as a canopy against sun and wind!!! So, go-go Gadget Baby Carrier!

What do we absolutely love about the M1 ? We love the gadgety “double click” and lock buttons that you can trust to hold your little sweetie snug and secure. Once you hear the second click, you know you’re good to go. We love the lightweight and very breathable high-tech ventilated fabric that it is made of so much too! This is a MUST for hotter climates. It is also so sporty that daddy will love wearing it - BIG plus - let’s give mom a break guys!

Again, we love the fact that the Bamboo Fabric parts (colored) are naturally antibacterial! That alone gets it two big thumbs up from us for being safe for baby, and clean! It’s almost like it cleans itself (okay, not really), but it is easily machine washable, and actually comes out still looking new - much unlike the first carrier that I bought from a competitor that actually cost the same. It comes out of the wash like an absolute champ!

We also love that you get very effective lumbar back support without having to don that “first carrier” that resembled more of a heavy-lifting brace. Not all that flattering in our opinion, and yes, I do plan on allowing the M1 to help me to move on from that “first carrier” experience:)!

We simply have to have “it all”, and this is it! It is also so comfortable to wear… it’s like it just hugs your body! It supports your back very well, and this is coming from someone with a back problem. We really love this one, and of course that is why we are bringing it to you as one of our Favorite Things !

The M1 retails for $129.99 and comes in 5 sporty colors. You can also buy additional top covers to rotate or change colors of you like! If you would like more information, please visit the Lascal or Regal+Lager websites, www.lascal.se or www.regallager.com . The M1 can also be purchased at Target.com and RightStart.com as well as many other stores that can be found on the Regal+Lager website.

Ever heard of it? We hadn’t, but it seemed to be an appropriate title for the adorably quirky little hat that we received just a few weeks ago from Zooni . Our little Isabella’s favorite vegetable is broccoli, so calling it her “Broccoli Hat” made her not want to rip it off as soon as we put it on her, which is our usual hat experience.

Zooni hats are great for so many reasons. They have the absolute cutest styles and are really made to keep those little heads warm. They are lined in super cozy fleece and are sure to be your little peanut’s favorite too.

Kids love the great designs - fuzzy and colorful, some are even animals!

Moms love their warmth, the fact that they wash so nicely, and that the phrase “keep that hat on!” becomes obsolete. We actually wear our Zooni Hats inside as well as out and it has definitely become a part of Isabella’s signature look (according to her). It has become almost a toy!

You can go to www.zooniwear.com to purchase your own lovely little hats and enter code “luvzooni” to receive 15% off! Keep your eye out for their new line of mittens too that double as puppets as well as their fabulous new hat styles! They are a true winner with both moms and kids. They are definitely one of our very Favorite Things!

Fun and Lovely! I absolutely adore My Vintage Baby and all of its lace and hankies! It really is such a sweet line of girl’s clothing that all of you who appreciate the fine details of vintage pieces will REALLY love.
The outfit that we received (as pictured) is an adorable little tie-dyed tee with a fluffy chenille flower in the middle, and hankie trimmed jeans. TOO CUTE!!! At first, I thought it was so cute, but might be a nightmare out of the wash, but NO! It came out of the washer, I gave it a good shake, and left it to dry on my drying rack. It was ready to wear!

The small details of My Vintage Baby are where you will absolutely fall in love with the line. It is the authentic vintage hankies, the old lace trims, the detailed embroidery and timeless look of femininity that sets them apart. We love vintage here, but we absolutely adore My Vintage Baby !

How many of you are certifiable Bag-a-holics? I know that I am. I can go without whatever, but as long as I have a reeeeally nice purse, I am good to go. When I had my daughter Isabella, I refused the idea of a diaper bag. I associated the term with those hideous character bags made of padded vinyl. I did a large super chic Isabella Fiore bag of my dreams instead:)! Did I have to dig in the bottom to find things? Yes. Did I end up overfilling it to the point of some damage? Absolutely. Did I even think to reconsider? NO! Not until I received the Maria bag by Mia Bossi! It is just as much a luxury handbag as any of the other big names, with it’s fine fabrics and rich leathers, and as it retails between $340 and $590 (depending upon the material), it’s a great buy!

Can I tell you how nice it is to make daily use of something that is SO functional, yet absolutely gorgeous!?!? It really makes your life better! Now, I don’t search around for all of the necessaries of leaving the house, for one thing. It’s all in there and in such an organized way that it just makes me smile:).

The other totally unique feature is that the lining zips out and can be washed very easily. SO smart! Also, once Junior is out of diapers, you can get the Computer Case Insert ($70) and it completely converts into the most beautiful and functional computer bag / briefcase that you could ever imagine!!

The Maria is our new Favorite Thing and is sure to be one of yours too! Mia Bossi also offers seven other different styles and many colors to choose from. There is even a matching baby carrier - Mia (Look for this to be reviewed by us later) - and some bags that work for Dads - Rex and Tobey (not purse-ish at all)! To purchase one or for more info, go to www.miabossi.com , or google them to see all of the great things that everyone else is saying about their super chic and innovative line of must-have products!

Bellaziza is being featured at a very exciting event that is sure to be an evening to remember, Ladies Night Out with the Designers at Baby Grace Baby Planner in Rockwall, TX! One of our favorite lines, Lemon Loves Lime is also a big part of the evening, and the entire Spring / Summer 2008 collection will be there to preview and purchase! VERY exciting!!!

It will be a great night to get out of the house, socialize and shop at beautiful Baby Grace Baby Planner ! There will be so many incredible door prizes (trust us on this one - F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!!) and complimentary gift bags from Baby Grace Baby Planner and their generous sponsors with a value of over $100; yours just as a thanks for coming!
