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!!!

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!

THIS JUST IN: Yet another great sale from GILT Group!

Chic parents and kids alike love Baby CZ for their soft cashmere and beautiful designs.  Trousers to dresses, these timeless styles can be passed down for generations.

Sale starts tomorrow, Tuesday August 19th at 12 noon EST. at www.gilt.com.

Okay girls, get excited!!!  We are celebrating Mother’s Day in a very big way this year.  We have looked through countless resources and found what we believe to be the absolute crème de la crème just for you!!  Throughout the next few days we will be posting reviews on all of these fabulous products, so stay tuned for detailed info on just why these products have been added to the list of Bellaziza’s Favorite Things!

Imagine winning our Mother’s Day Spa Swag Giveaway…a box brimming over with wonderful products to help you, Mom, to relax and enjoy taking care of you.  

We begin your well-deserved date with yourself with an incredible facial using your new Clairsonic skin care system.  You feel refreshed and rejuvenated after experiencing the deep cleaning of a professional facial, but the peace of mind in knowing that it is available to you everyday from the comfort and convenience of your own home.  Finally, something that you can promise yourself to make time for!

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!!!

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 !
