Hip Diaper Bag For Mommy & Daddy
We are always on the hunt for the very best and most stylish diaper bag. We get really excited when the style and design appeals to both mommy and daddy. How many times does your husband wrinkle his nose or roll his eyes when you ask him to carry your pink and flowery baby bag? He’d rather risk being caught without a clean diaper then be scene with a frilly bag. We can’t change our men but we can certainly switch up our diaper bags. We love the classy and timeless look of JIMEALE’S diaper bag collection. Clean lines, gorgeous rich color (chocolate brown…love it!) and oodles of space for all your baby and mommy and daddy things. It’s got two side pocket’s for babe’s bottles, a comfy padded strap ( very important for long days of strolling and shopping) and it comes with a matching change pad. We tried out the Luca bag that’s lined with an eye catching lime green pattern and we’ve been stopped everyday in the park by parents wanting to know where we got this brilliant and functional bag. Can your man can handle a splash of pink? If so go for the Emily bag like Sacha Baron Cohen and his hip lady love Isla Fisher. Chocolate brown and pink look fabulous together. So, enough of our gushing, just go see all of JIMEALE’S treats for yourself at www.jimeale.com
Celeb Favorite Pippalily Does it Again
We all know that Pippalily makes fabulous baby slings. They are a must for any mommy who wants to carry their baby comfortably in style. Did you know that Pippalily now makes super soft minky blankets and chic little diaper clutches? When we heard about their new baby gear we had to try it out for ourselves…difficult job but someone has to do it. The blanket is unbelievably soft on one side and comes in fresh and funky designs on the other. We chose the Blue Gothic Rose pattern as it was perfect for a boy or a girl Which blanket did Gwen Stefani receive? The Sky Temple blanket and the matching diaper clutch. How much “stuff” can you pack into that brilliant little clutch? Well 4 diapers and a travel wipe container as it says on the Pippalily web site…but we also crammed a lipbalm, a cellphone, two credit cards and our ipod…not bad, and we felt extra swanky when we pulled it our to change our baby’s bottom. Oh, the glamor! Check out their site and see what’s new at this drooliciouse Canadian company: www.pippalily.com
Keep Them Safe & Stylish
It seems all I did last summer was chase after baby blankets that had blown off my stroller and car seat…trying to keep the sun off the babies is an Olympic event! This season we were ready with a fantastic little blanket that comes with baby safe clips attached…so simple, so necessary. Secure2Me has designed a blanket called the Eclipse that not only stays put, but blocks out 95% of the sun’s harmful rays…and it comes in super cute shades that are sure to match your Bugaboo or Maclaren (very important). We’ve been using it at the beach and for long walks in the park (our toddler thinks it makes a great cape for playtime…whatever keeps her busy). Love how sheer and breathable these blankets are, and that it’s keeping my wee ones safe…and stylishly so. Have a look at this brilliant blanket at www.secure2me.com
Shoes You’ll Want To Wear Too
Don’t you just love children’s shoes? It’s absolutely our favorite thing to shop for. We’ve spent many long hours searching for the next big thing in the competitive shoe world and our latest find has “IT SHOE” written all over it’s fabulous soul. KUURU SHOES is owned by a mom who saw a need for chic, stylish childrens shoes that can stand up to a day at the playground and beyond. She wanted comfy and fashionable all rolled into one so she designed the shoes that make up KUURU’S brilliant line herself. So smart! The colors are spectacular (just check out that shade of burgundy up there) and the details are simple yet eye catching. Love the flowers on the peep toe mary janes. If Carrie Bradshaw had a little girl, she would wear these shoes. We have KUURU’S Sophia in burgundy and they keep us looking stylish from the swing set to strolling the posh shops. Their line includes the boys too, and we can’t wait to try those out. The owner let us in on a little secret…Salma Hayek’s gorgeous little trend setter Valentia was spotted wearing a pair of KUURU’S Peytons. Follow momma Salma’s sophisticated lead at www.kuurushoes.com
SlingEZee Has Us Hooked
SlingEZee knows a thing or two about making brilliant baby slings, as they’ve been around since the 80’s. They recently revamped a few things and their new patterns and designs not only offer superb comfort but necessary style as well. We chose the sling in the stunning Chocolate Aqua Flowers and couldn’t be more pleased. Love the perfectly padded shoulder strap and rails…no back pain which keeps both baby and mommy happy. We’re very “Princess and The Pea” here at Celeb Baby Clothes…too much fabric or too little on our sling and we notice right away. We’re able to take our baby to the market, the beach and the park and he sleeps soundly in his new sling while we chase our toddler around. SlingEZee also has enough fabric to keep you discreetly covered and baby cradled while you breast feed. However, we have to admit that the first thing we fell for was their fabulous choice of fabrics…just look at the patterns and you’ll toss out the Bjorn and convert to a SlingEZee. Have a peak yourself at www.slingezee.com and after you try one out let us know what you think.
Safe+Hip=WeeGo Baby Bottles
What do you get when you pair a pediatric physical therapist with a designer? Modern, cool baby gear that’s eco friendly and developmentally appropriate. The owners of WeeGo have created the coolest looking baby bottle out there mommas. It’s made of glass, so you know that’s safe and it is covered in a plastic sleeve that’s bisphenol A, phthalate, PVC and polycarbonate-free…and it looks super hip. The sleeve comes in bright, eye catching shades and a pattern that provides much needed tactile stimulation for your tot. We also love that the sleeve keeps the bottle from breaking if dropped (and believe me, we’ve dropped it a hundred times already and no breaks yet). It’s so fabulous when a company can merge great design with concern for the environment and our children…shouldn’t they all? We love the baby bottle in “look at me” raspberry, but you’ll have to see what fits your baby’s style at www.gobabylife.com
Fish Lilly Has Style
We never grow tired in our quest for the most fabulous baby gear. Our latest crush is on FISH LILLY, a brilliant mommy run company that makes the most scrumptious baby blankets, bibs, wraps and sleep suits. We tested out their wrap in the colorful train design and the baby suit in the whimsical cowboy style. Both are super soft and comfy which are the most important qualities to us mommies, and they swaddle like a dream. Their is nothing more annoying to us than baby blankets that fall short in the swaddling department. Being self confessed blanket snobs we also love the clean designs and contemporary patterns. With classics like cupcakes, butterflies and airplanes, how can a mommy go wrong? Embrace you inner “blanket snob” too and have a look at FISH LILLY’S droolicious creations at www.fishlilly.com.au
Fabulous Baby Toys From Vulli
You just can’t knock a toy that’s been a favorite since 1961, can you? Sophie The Giraffe, made by the brilliant toy company Vulli (www.vulli-toys.com) is an absolute cult classic when it comes to babies. Made in the French Alps (ohh la la!) with natural rubber and non toxic paint, Sophie is the perfect safe toy to get your newborn. So what’s got every baby we know hooked on Sophie? They must love the soft rubber, subtle squeaks and easy grasp of this retro toy. It makes a fussy teething baby happy . Mommies love how entertained and soothed their baby is when Sophie is around…our advice? Get at least two, because if baby looses Sophie, you’ll loose your sanity when nothing else calms them quite the same. According to The Globe and Mail, celeb moms have a thing for Sophie as well. Kate Hudson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Debra Messing all relied on this little French giraffe too. Don’t just take our word for it, see how addictive Sophie is at www.sophiegiraffeusa.com.

Jubi: Impressive & Classy Baby Basics
Chic and luxurious are the first things that came to mind when our package from JUBI arrived. We’ve heard tons of fabulous things about JUBI and we needed to find out first hand. Smart and stylish mommies in the know like HALLE BERRY already have a thing for JUBI’S soft and yummy baby products (we hear she loves their butter soft wash cloths). We tested out their all natural fitted bassinet sheet, and their super comfy Baby Basics pant and shirt set in classic black. So unbelievably soft, and the understated neutral colors are a refreshing change. We also got to test out their brilliant “dribbler” style bibs. So handy for when your little one starts to drool and you want to keep their snazzy outfit nice and clean. These are perfect gifts for that baby shower this summer you want to impress at. If new mommies CHRISTINA AGUILERA and TORI SPELLING love JUBI, chances are your mommy friends will too. You want your baby to feel calm and secure, and the soothing fabrics from JUBI do just that.
