Winter just got a bit more fun! Hatley winter weather gear is here

Hats Off For Hatley Outerwear!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Tis’ the season to bring out the cold weather gear!  Weather or not it’s rain or snow, our favorite folks at Hatley sure have you covered this season.  Their patterns are only getting cuter and their quality is as always superb.

Starting out, a great choice for fall is their raincoat and matching boots!  Hatley’s Raincoats aren’t your average stiff, straight-cut raincoats, but are instead quite comfortable and stylishly cut to look and feel great even on the gloomiest of days.  The raincoats are lined in cozy and absorbent terry cloth and have a generous hood.  They are sized in a way that your little puddle stomper will have some room to grow too! Also, there are over 12 styles to choose from for both boys and girls!

The matching Rain Boots are just darling and a true classic, little pull-on handles and all!  They are lined in cotton jersey so even they have that extra little bit of cozy that we just love Hatley for!  The sizing runs pretty accurately on these boots, but with a thick pair of socks you might want to run the next size up just for kicks.

Hatley also has a new line of snow gear!  It is truly spectacular and the ultimate in cold weather apparel for any little kid this winter.  Hatley is a Canadian company too and we trust them to know how to handle that cold weather!  The Snow Jacket is flawless with lots of puff and an extra dash of cozy.  The faux fur trimmed hood is just too cute with your little pumpkin’s face peering out of its fuzziness too!  “Looks like a lioney mommy, Roaarrrrr!” was Little Bellaziza’s reaction.  Too cute, right?  We of course think so!

The Snow Pants have a great fit to them and both the Snow Pants and the Snow Jacket leave you without that usual feeling of not being able to move around well.  No more “I can’t move my arms!”  Little Randy from A Christmas Story should have had Hatley Snow Gear.  We particularly liked the way the straps at the top of the Snow Pants adjusted.  They scooch up just like any pair of snow pants, but they have comfortable elastic belting for straps, and the adjustment range is generous making it quite possible to get two winters out of them, or at least get Junior through a huge growth spurt with no issues.

Hatley’s matching Snow Boots are really the icing on the cake.  The Snow Jacket and Snow Pants are definitely cute enough, but with the matching boots it’s a real showstopper!  These boots aren’t a joke either!  They incorporate an easily removable and washable super insulative thermal liner to keep those little toes toasty and have a cinch cord at the top to keep the snow out.  The Velcro fitting at ankle provides both comfort and a secure fit, and they are made of 100% polyester upper with polyurethane coating for water resistance and a double rubber sole.  Yes, Hatley’s a Canadian company…did we mention?  Brrrr!!!

We absolutely adore the entire snow collection, which comes in Prancing Horses for girls and Bear Country for boys, but the boots would have to be our Favorite.  One note with them though is to definitely buy the next size up from what your little one would usually wear.  The thick thermal lining may not give much room for socks if not.  Boots should be worn a little large anyway to promote ample circulation to the toes and prevent a chill to the feet.  Just one size up.  You’ll thank us for that!

The Raincoat ($40), Rain Boots ($34), Snow Jacket ($96), Snow Pants ($64) and Snow Boots ($58) are all truly exceptional and definitely a fabulous choice for your little one this season.  They come in sizes to fit from age 2 to 7 and do check out Hatley’s Baby Snow Gear too!  It’s so cute!!!

Celebs Everywhere LOVE Plain Mary & So Will You!

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008


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.

Plain Mary’s collection of t-shirts, onesies, bibs, burp cloths and more is also of incredibly high quality.  We had the same experience with their t-shirt, bib and burp cloth, being amazed at how well they washed and how fine the details of the construction were.  These may look like your typical white t-shirt, bib, etc, but when you see them in person, the details of the individual pieces are just lovely.  It’s the hems, the nicely trimmed edges, the quality snap closures and silk embroidery that we fell in love with most.  Isn’t it the everyday luxuries that we truly enjoy in life anyway?  That is exactly the essence of Plain Mary.

Tom Brady Shops For Little Jack In His Extra Off-Season!

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

With Tom Brady out of the game due to his recent knee injury and surgery, it’s given him more time to spend with that sweet little Jack!  It definitely sounds like a win-win to us, well unless you are the Patriots or a fan.  Oh well, all of our best wishes to Tom and the Pats!  He’ll be back before you know it!

In Tom’s extra little off-season, besides surgery a week ago, recovery and starting rehab soon back in Boston, he has been doing a little shopping for Jack!  He’s been in LA for a few days before heading back to Beantown and ordered some lovely things from Petit Tresor!

Tom’s picks for Jack were none other than a collection of super soft baby sweaters and a cardigans from babycottons, a super cute ‘hunk’ giftset from Plain Mary, and a luxurious “Blanket of Snow” Quilt from Bunnies By The Bay.  Enjoy that baby Tom…they grow up so fast!

Happy Gia Matt & Luciana Damon!

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana recently welcomed Gia Zavala, baby girl #3 into their family.  Matt must feel a little overwhelmed by all of that estrogen from our guess, but absolutely elated as well!  Congrats Matt and Luciana, and welcome little Gia!

Baby, we’re sure that there were tons of gifts, but we recently got some insider 411 on a nice little surprise that was sent from the uber-chic celeb favorite MilkShop.com!  The package contained some beautiful things and we thought we’d pass the info along just in case any of you have your own little new arrivalettes that need a little something extra special.

Arriving at Chez Damon: a Piggy Doll by BlaBla, a Pasha Silk Kurta in pink by Leaves of Grass, an ultra luxe Larucci Leopard Blanket in cream, the entire Kiehl’s Baby Product Collection, and last but not least, an absolute necessity for any little princess, a Mason Pearson Child’s Hairbrush in pink.

Made to Match: Hatley’s New Backpacks and Lunch Totes!

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

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!!!

Letters & Numbers & Shapes, OH MY!!!

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

We recently came across the best ever way to teach your little one all of the numbers, letters, colors and shapes!  It’s called Teach My Toddler and it really is fabulous.  Mom-inventor Christy Cook came up with the idea after being disappointed by the selection of products available to help her to teach her 18-month old son Finn.  We are so glad to have found Christy and her fantastic product and we know you will be too!

The system includes the case which is separated into four sections - Letters, Numbers, Shapes and Colors.  Each section is filled with flashcards, board books, posters and puzzles that relate to each.  Everything is made to be handled and will hold up to your toddler’s repeated use.

Our Favorite Thing about Teach My Toddler is the fact that it is so much fun!!!  Kids do love to learn, and it ’s a great way to bond with your child.  Take it as a special time with them for about 20 minutes a day (as suggested by Christy) and you will see just how excited they get, and how great you feel too, Super Mom!!!

The entire system retails for only $39.99 plus s/h and makes a wonderful gift.  Here at Chez Bellaziza, we particularly enjoy the puzzles and are happy to say that we now know all of our letters and colors!  It’s a fabulous educational tool, and one that will really bring you and your child closer together.  Please visit www.Teach-My.com for more info on the product, a video tour and how to order.

New Multitasking Must-Haves For Multitasking New Mommas!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Boy oh boy, nobody tells you how to weed through all of the “essential” baby products out there like we do!  How many “Must Have” products are really that must have? It’s our mission and we are constantly out there looking for the best products so that you  A) get the best, B) live with less clutter, and C) not waste your time, space or money!

Luna Lullaby is a new Favorite of ours with three of their products - the ball, the blanket and the pillow.  ALL of them have multiple uses to carry you through pregnancy and well into the toddler years without having to buy loads more stuff to do what these three products do so well on their own.  Simply genius!!!

First is the Bounce-A-Bye-Baby Ball.  It’s the perfect birthing ball, pre and post-pregnancy excercise ball, and it also works incredibly as a soothing motion seat - bouncing little Junior into a trance-like state almost instantly!  It really is the perfect parenting companion!  It also comes with its own hand pump for easy inflation and a simple-to-assemble and transport stability stand.  It’s definitely something you don’t want to do without for so many reasons.  Any product that promises to help you through both labor and delivery and then a colicky baby too is definitely a must have!

Luna Lullaby’s Soothing Blankets are another fabulous part of their baby must-have trifecta!  They are made of super chic and breathable cotton muslin and are oversized which is a long-overdue change to receiving blankets for sure!  They are really very soft too and wash beautifully!  We love the fact that they come with a detailed instructional DVD too so that you too can learn to construct the Perfect Swaddle!  (How smart was that?!?!)  You can also use your Soothing Blankets as a sunshade for stroller rides, a lightweight and breathable nursing cover, a playmat, or a great accessory for an always popular game of peekaboo!

The third product that we just love is the Bosom Baby nursing pillow.  It not only functions as a nursing pillow, but again multitasks through pregnancy and beyond starting as a very comfortable maternity sleeping pillow, a great support pillow for baby’s tummy time, and a cozy pillow for your toddler to curl up to their favorite cartoons in.  It’s multi-functionality is really impressive and it’s something that your family will enjoy for now and for years to come.  It is also PERFECT for twins, which most other nursing pillows are not.  It has lots of room and is definitely wide enough to support two at once!

All three products are a dream for any expectant mother and something that would so make the perfect shower gift.  The Bounce A Bye Baby ball sells for $52.00, the Soothing Blankets come three to a set with the DVD for $42.00, and the Bosom Baby pillow sells at $58.00 with extra covers available at $34.00 each.  For more information check out www.LunaLullaby.com and tell them who sent you!

D Mo Baby - Cutest Boy’s Clothes EVER!!!

Friday, June 6th, 2008

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!

SWAG ALERT: Fab New Additions to the Boon Family!

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

 

 

 

 

 

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. Email reviews@bellaziza.com. All entries must be received by Sunday, June 1st at midnight, PST. You may enter once per email address per day. Winner will be chosen on Monday via random.org.

You continue Bliss-fully with the spa-inspired anti-aging Bliss Youth Group Skincare Kit .  The Youth As We Know It moisturizer, concentrate, cleanser, toner and eye cream all perfectly packaged in a pretty pink cosmetic carry all.  You are worth the pampering, and you know it!

After your rejuvenating facial, complete with your new youthful glow , you slip into your cozy new pajamas, compliments of Hatley.  You are so happy and can’t wait to see how your little sweetie looks in their own set after Daddy gives kiddo a bath tonight!  PS - We love you Dads for that night off!!

As you look in the mirror, noticing how special you feel, you open the clasp to your beautiful custom-made Tiny Squares necklace by Lisa Leonard Jewelry.  It is so dainty and perfect for everyday wear, yet so special with the names of your loved ones artfully inscribed on individual squares.  Maybe it’s you represented by the delicate pearl hanging in front.

What’s the perfect date with yourself without a good book and something sweet?  As you open your fresh copy of every hot mom’s fave read, Rock Star Momma, by Skye Hoppus, you get ready to take that ‘me time’ that many times is forgotten.  You pause though remembering the box of one dozen decadent Sprinkles Cupcakes in the kitchen!  They are a Katie and Suri’s favorite and they sure are ours too!  

One hip, lucky and stylish momma will be taking all!  Just email us with ‘”SPA SWAG” in the subject line and let us know which prize you love the most.  Email reviews@bellaziza.com.  All entries must be received by Sunday, May 11th, 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 MOTHER’S DAY!!!

Excuse me Sir, have you ever heard of a Broccoli Hat?

Monday, March 10th, 2008

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.

 

greenside1.jpgZooni 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!

My my, My Vintage Baby!

myvintagebaby1.jpgFun 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.
myvintagebaby2.jpg 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 dr
