Lusting for this Splendid style!

A stylish iPad Clutch that makes me happy!
I'm beyond impressed with this genius product! I have never seen anything so stylish and functional for the iPad. I was really thrilled with the way you could fold the case to turn it into a stand. This is great for when the kids are watching a movie or when it's charging at night and I want it to display a clock. Happy Owl Studio has gone above and beyond with their clutch - it's something every woman would be proud to tote their iPad in.
You can choose from 3 different colors - red, blue, and black. The clutch also comes with a detachable strap to make it even more useful for your busy lifestyle. The price is something that I was really impressed with as well. I paid $50 for a basic shell of a case for our iPad. Getting a chic leather clutch that not only protects my iPad but also takes away the need for a new purse for only $79 seems like a steal to me. If you are going to invest in an iPad you realize how important it is to protect that purchase. In my opinion this is the case to go with! When you check out Happy Owl Studio you'll see that they also have a wallet option perfect for the man in your life. It's basically the same as the clutch without the pleating - my husband is now hinting his desire for the black wallet.

20 weeks - This pant has got my back!
They would also make awesome work-out pants because the fabric just wicks away moisture. I will definitely be sporting these to my Pilate's class. You can choose from white or black (or go for both). After trying these out in black I am adding the white pair to my birthday wish list. Sassybax's Cigarette Pants are perfect for any woman. I love that this is a piece of clothing that works pregnant or not pregnant. It will be a staple that I can always wear. You can get your own pair online from Sassybax and while you are there check out their other amazing options for your body.
Simply Stated - This one gets a top notch rating from me! I was really impressed with the quality, versatility, and the comfort. I really love that I can wear them pregnant or not!
Special thanks to Sassybax for providing a sample for review purposes.

N-Fini Shapewear
Most of us can use a little extra help getting the body shape we desire. The shapewear from N-Fini Shape will definitely give you that smoother shape you would like and it will do it without a trip to the gym. I recently tried out their Shapewear Cami Dress and I am in love. Unlike other shapewear camis this one actually stays put. It does not ride up! I can also breathe in it because it is surprisingly comfortable considering the effort it takes to get on. It's perfect to wear under your dresses or I like to wear it under my long tees and tanks. It just looks like another layer poking out. The Cami Dress has a built in bra and that just means there is one less thing to add bulk to your shape. The adjustable straps ensure that you get the perfect fit for your body. This is one impressive dress - it doesn't just smooth out the tummy, but also your thighs, hips, and torso. It has become my secret weapon to looking trimmer.N-Fini Shape has a full range of shapewear ranging from tops, dresses, bodysuits, bottoms, even sports bras. They carry plus sizes too! I love the Lycra FreshFX fabric used on their shapewear. It's soft, provides moisture management, and impressively slimming. You can view their full range and start shopping online at N-Fini Shape. Now through March 31st, 2010 you can save 10% using the code save10 at the checkout line!
One lucky reader will win a $50 Gift Certificate to N-Fini!! To enter to win visit N-Fini Shape and comment back sharing which N-fini shapewear is a must for your wardrobe. The deadline to enter is February 11th at midnight EST. THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. Congrats to our winner: Sheila Rae! Here is her comment: Oh I would want the tank top with underwire, or a sport bra.

Switching purses has never been so simple!
I'm not sure what it is about purses (or jeans) but they have this power over me. I can't seem to ever have enough. My purse collection is staggering and sadly I rarely use most of them. They are neglected not because of dislike but because it is such a pain to move the contents from one purse to another. Unless I have extra time to kill in the mornings (unheard of) then I will go rushing out the door with my current (and probably mis-matched) bag. Enter my handbag hero - the PouchMiss. This is such a simple but genius idea. I think of it as my purse's undergarment. It has 14 pockets built in to this insanely helpful organizer. This is the perfect way to convert any handbag into a diaper bag. You don't have to carry two bags or to tote something decorated with Winnie the Pooh. I love how it organizes the contents of my purse in a way that I can actually find what I am looking for - it has a spot for pens, baby bottles (or water bottles), and comes complete with a matching changing pad that has a clear sleeve built in for a spare diaper. Using the PouchMiss will also protect your pricey handbags from getting covered in spills. When the PouchMiss gets dirty you can just pull it out and wash/dry it. Too easy! There are so many pluses to having one of these helpful products but my favorite is that when I want to change my handbag - I just pull out the PouchMiss from my current bag and place it inside my new bag. It's so quick that I've been able to bring my bags out of hiding and enjoy them all! New moms - this is a great alternative to an expensive diaper bag. The PouchMiss is only $40 and it is so worth it. You can order one online here!

Make peace with Earth
I spend the vast majority of my time chasing around two gremlins who tend to be covered in peanut butter, jelly, and boogers. Great fun of course, but it has made my style become mainly based on comfort. Which means most of the time I have no style. One of my favorite places to shop is Yes Style and that is because they have lots of comfy options that are actually stylish. I am currently in love with their My Heart Long Sleeve Tee! It's so soft and I really like the bright yellow fleece lettering. It takes a boring tee and steps it up quite a few notches. The light worn in looking material is perfect to pair with jeans and boots (or sneakers). I love that I have found a top that works with my lifestyle but I still feel cute wearing. The message is something I am happy to see blazed upon my chest as well (greatly preferred to all the tees 
with innuendos all over them). If only this tee could achieve peace with my boys...peace and quiet...peace and sharing....you get the idea. Perhaps once they can read it will be more effective. All in all, for twenty dollars the quality, comfort, and style factor cannot be beat. Snap one up for yourself at Yes Style and while your there take a moment to look at all the great deals. I tend to get lost in the vast array of affordable clothing and still find it hard to believe that there can be so many options in one place.

Rivet De Cru
We've all seen the victims of dad jeans. They are just as unattractive as the mom version. Even if you man is unaware of the unflattering nature of his current jeans, you can easily rectify the situation without him knowing there was ever a problem. This holiday season give him a pair of jeans that makes him look lean, younger, stylish, and SO much more attractive. It is time to say goodbye to jeans that go above their belly button, are tight in all the wrong places and puffy in the hips and butt. We shouldn't be able to see the full outline of your stomach and if the description says carpenter it is only meant for someone who uses a hammer hourly out their job. Rivet De Cru has a huge selection of jeans that will get your man looking better than ever. This is just as much a gift for you as it is for him. After he wears them a few times and notices the compliments he gets (especially if he was a long time sufferer of the dad jeans) he won't ever want to go back to the jeans of his past. Don't be surprised if they disappear to your local Goodwill. My favorite thing about the Rivet De Cru jeans is the fit. They are ultra flattering and the premium denim will look good wash after wash. They offer so many different choices in wash, pockets, and the overall look of the jeans - so you know that you can find something that is just right for your man. Even your son. Please don't make your teenage boy wear goofy jeans. I still have memories of the too-short sad pants my brother used to wear in high school. Just get two great pairs of jeans and you'll end up saving money because they won't wear out that easily. You can get cheap good looking tops for men but with denim - you get what you pay for and Rivet De Cru has some impressively low prices for the quality they provide. They have truly worked hard to create unique & beautiful washes. You'll appreciate the work that goes into the destroy accents and the thought out hand brushed creases! My husband loved the pair he got the chance to try out and I must admit I loved them too! They lower rise flattered his body and the dark wash went great with so much of his clothing. They make him look long & lean! Check out their site to find what is right for the man on your shopping list and check out the gorgeous lady jeans too (you get to have some presents from Santa too)!- Wrap it up: Put it in a pretty box and add a bow. This is a gift they will get so much use out of!

I know what I'm wearing to turkey dinner!
YesStyle constantly has clothing worth talking about and their Chiffon Accent Top has earned my pick as a holiday favorite. I will definitely be sporting this chic top on Thanksgiving this year and I have a feeling it will appear again at the many holiday events on my calendar. I love the simple elegance from the 
unexpected ruffle on one shoulder. This is a unique top but at the same time so comfortable. It looks great with jeans and even better with black pants or a black skirt. The top only needs some pretty earring to achieve a pulled together look. If you have been looking for quiet elegance with a big touch of style - look no further. This gorgeous top comes in both gray and black and it will only cost you $28. With a price like that you'll have enough left over to get some hot new shoes to wear with it!

Say Yes to this style!
Just because you're a mother does not mean you want to stop being stylish. The biggest wardrobe change I have noticed since becoming a mother (other than my waistline) is that I search for versatile and comfortable clothing. I want my clothing to be stylish but also to flatter my figure. I was really impressed with the huge selection of options from YesStyle. Their selection is not only huge but their prices are amazing! I love the
Tab Sleeve Check Blouse. It is looks good with black pants for the office or with jeans for my day to day. You can even pair it with leggings. The longer length of the shirt is really comfortable and I don't worry about being over exposed. I really love the looser fit of the shirt because it is so flattering to my mom tummy. This is the perfect weekend outfit with skinny jeans and boots for fall! You can also roll up & button the sleeves or the sides of the shirt. It will only set you back $28 - $34 depending on the color you choose (it also comes in navy). Check it out and order one for yourself at YesStyle.com.

Uranus Apparel!
Who knew that soy could make for some really comfy undies? Uranus Apparel's Soy Shorts are the ultimate in luxuriously soft fabrics. They feel similar to cashmere or silk and are so much softer than the traditional cotton. Soy fabric is long lasting and it even gets softer each time you wash it. It's also eco-friendly and sustainable. Soy Shorts have quickly become my favorite pair of underwear. They feel good no matter the temperature and the cut is really flattering. I'm all about comfort where my undergarments are concerned and these have you covered in that department. They come sold in a set of 3 (black, moss green, and beige) and they get their color from 100% natural vegetable dye. When it comes to the environment - Uranus Apparel cares. Their Soy Shorts are packaged in a 100% degradable burlap drawstring sack.- Wrap it up: I can see these as being wonderful stocking stuffers or a great gift for your friends!

Cook with style, even if you can't cook
Jessie Steel has the most beautiful aprons I have ever seen! Their vintage style is sure to appeal to anyone. They are so well made and flattering to any woman. I love the unique cuts, the built in pockets on many styles, the elegant but fun fabrics, and the fact that wearing one makes me want to cook. Everyone has someone in their family that would love to have a gorgeous apron - these designs are so sophisticated they make me want to wear them with pearls! They come in a variety of styles like hostess aprons (which can also be half aprons), Chef's aprons (some even made for men so dad can barbecue in camo and not ruin his shirt), and even child sized aprons. How cute would matching mother/daughter or grandmother/granddaughter aprons be? The hardest part about shopping at Jessie Steel is picking which apron to buy. I am still unable to pick my favorite! You can save 20% off your purchase using the code JSBLOG9 at the checkout!- Wrap it up: 1)For a lovely lady - package the apron with a nice cook book or some beautiful mixing bowls 2)For a cooking papa - give the grill master some new tools or sauces to go with his apron 3)For the little princess - put some pretend food in with her sweet new apron

One pair with so many possibilities...
The Lindsay Phillips Ballet Flats are flawless! I am completely enamored with these adorable shoes. First of all they are the most comfortable ballet flats I have ever worn. They honestly feel like bedroom slippers. So soft and cozy. The most amazing part however is that you can change the look of these shoes instantly just by swapping out the interchangeable snaps. There 11 different snaps to choose from and swapping them out is as easy as it sounds. They simply snap on and snap off! One pair of ballet flats with 11 snaps would be like having 11 shoes in one. If you were to buy a pair in every color than you would have 33 shoe options! I love all the beautiful snap designs and something tells me this is a gift any lady would really appreciate!- Wrap it up: This shoe box has endless possibilities! Wrap up a pair and then perhaps add a few snaps to her stocking for an extra surprise.

Not just for around the house, the rubber sole makes them great to wear both indoors and out! You can choose from two fun colors combined with the signature patterns from Little Miss Matched. No matter what color you choose - these boots are fun! This would make a great gift for a teen or mother. I have certainly been rocking my Winter Boots all over town!- Wrap it up: How cute would they be packaged with some fun socks to match (or miss-match) from Little Miss Matched?

My Skins
It might just be me, but it drives me crazy when I can see a bra threw some one's shirt. It almost irritates me as much as seeing bra straps. In my opinion - underwear should not be seen, they are called "under" garments for a reason. It can be really difficult to find a bra in the right shade as your skin tone. When it is a off you can tell when you put on that white top. Finding a bra that not only doesn't show through and doesn't create funky lines seems impossible at times. My Skins has twenty different skin shades to choose from when you pick lingerie from them. Chances are you are going to find a really close match. Finally women are not limited to beige, white, or black. In addition to finding your perfect shade - the
y also offer the right bra for any situation. Their T-shirt bra is not only comfortable but it gets the job done line free. You can don this bra with any tee (even the white ones) and trust that you will be properly supported without any lumpy miss-shaped bits. It's very flattering and has quickly become my go-to bra. I am also loving the My Skins Plunge Bra. It dips just deep enough for you to be able to wear that low cut top without showing off your bra. It gives you a smooth, line free shape with just the right amount of padding. If you need a strapless bra - their Convertible Bra gives you the option to wear straps anyway you want them. It's perfect for your strapless tops or razorback tanks.Don't forget to pick up a pair (or more) of their amazing panties to match you shade. Available in a full cut brief, a thong, or a girl short they are not only comfy but they keep you line free. These are the perfect panties for your skinny jeans or those white pants everything seems to show through. The fabric is seamless and it molds to your body, leaving you without a muffin top (thank you!). These are seriously comfortable panties. Check out My Skins to see what your shade is and if you can't decide they will mail you a free Skin Tone Color Chart. You can place it up to your skin and look through the clever cut out to match your shade. It's a very helpful system and it certainly helped me find my perfect shade!

Shhh....Cami-Rolls is a genius secret!
After my second child I got this ring and not the kind that goes around my finger. It's a stubborn thing that resides around my waist that won't seem to go away. It's not so much fat as saggy, loss skin and once I put on my pants it gives me an adorable muffin top. Not exactly the type of accessory I want to advertise. I am loving the secret weapon Cami-Rolls. Basically it is two tanks in one but the double-layer camisoles provide very discreet tummy compression. The inner camisole is made with stretchy spandex material giving you some extra help with your wobbly bits. You tuck it into your bottoms and it goes virtually undetected. The outer camisole makes certain to smooth out any remaining ripples and you don't have to worry about it riding up. I love this feature because the majority of the products I have tried that promise to help suck in your tummy - while they deliver results, they also ride up and create the opposite effect of what I am going for. Cami-Rolls stay put and it's not uncomfortable. I love that is looks just like a ordinary camisole and is perfect for daily wear. Just because you are wearing shape wear doesn't mean you have to look like it. Visit Cami-Rolls to get your own and you might want to get more than one. I was instantly hooked on the svelte results and I don't like to do laundry on a daily basis.

Cinch by Anew
Ok - new moms or moms-2-be this is one product you better be sure to add to your wish list. The Cinch By Anew is an easy way to get your stomach looking flatter faster. The best part? You don't have to do any work. It's an updated version of the retro practice of wrapping your belly after birth. When you use the Cinch you can wrap your stomach without the help of anyone and even track your waist line loss with the built in measuring guide. It's comfortable and you can keep using it as your stomach shrinks because it's inner panels are adjustable. You can even insert a hot/cold pack into the front panel for added comfort or healing. I am always overheating at night and found that placing a cold pack inside the front panel made for a much cooler nights sleep for me. Plus my body was getting slimmer as I snoozed. How do you top that? Although most start using the Cinch after birth...I was a little late to the party. My son is almost 10 months old and I just now learned about this sweet gadget. However after trying it out for a little over a week - I swear I can tell a difference. I'm not 3 sizes smaller but my stomach is noticeably firmer and I can see progress. I plan on wearing it daily to see what else can come from here - what do I have to lose except a muffin top! It's also a great help to my poor posture and it makes me look slimmer when I wear it under my clothing. I will definitely be donning this the second I pop out the next addition to our family. The fabric is breathable and the spandex doesn't stick to my clothing. Strangely it isn't uncomfortable. To use their tag line because it's just too true - "Losing your baby weight is a ...cinch". Visit Anew to pick up your own and when it arrives you will be impressed with the packaging as well. It comes in a beautiful garment bag! This would make a wonderful baby shower gift and you could skip the wrapping. Also - while you are at Anew check out their clothing line designed specifically with a mother's body in mind. I'm dying to try out their jeans!

Birth Designs
Mommy jewelry is becoming pretty popular and I for one am a huge fan! We worked hard to squeeze those little ones out and we work even harder to raise them. I certainly like having a piece of jewelry that represents them wherever I am. The jewelry options from Birth Designs are simply lovely. I am a huge fan of the Stamped Sterling Cuff Bracelet. You get to personalize it to your tastes from the finish, the font, and even down to the little designs next to your words. I like having the ability to choose from options that ensure the piece is not only my taste but also one of a kind. I love the idea of getting one of these bracelets each time you welcome another child into your family. They not only look beautiful with just one but they layer extremely well. All of the creations from Birth Designs are made by hand, one by one! You can browse the unique selection of jewelry including some beautiful pieces for children and even some Twilight inspired options (yes- I too am obsessed!) at Birth Designs online store.

Mama Om
Just in time for swimsuit summer I have stumbled upon a whimsical and unique company filled with beautiful clothing - Mama Om. This company strives to bring you not only eco-friendly clothing but also mother & daughter outfits. They aren't your usual cheesy matchy-matchy onsembles - they are really stylish and I would be proud to 
wear them with my daughter (if I ever have a little girl). The entire line is made to be extremely comfortable and the Beach Halter Dress I tried was definitely comfy. It was lightweight and extremely soft. The cut was very flattering and made the perfect swimsuit coverup.
I love the beautiful swimsuits in the Mama Om collection and I am also a huge fan of the dresses! The Bumbelina dress to your left is made with 100% organic pima cotton and it is also fairly traded. I really like the bow and the unusual color paring. The also have a very similar Bumble dress that Mommy can wear to match her little princess. The Bumble dress is also made using 100% organic pima cotton and the cut looks incredibly flattering. The two dresses are the same fabric and clearly are meant to go together but the combination of the two is not corny but instead really beautiful. I know if I get the chance to buy mother & daughter dresses Mama Om will be my first stop. They would be fabulous for Easter, weddings, birthdays, and summer parties!Take a moment to visit Mama Om and see the beautiful collection of mom designed clothing. There are dresses, beachwear, tees and much more to choose from. I love to purchase from fellow mothers and companies that care about the environment - with Mama Om you get the best of both these worlds without compromising on quality or style!
