pajama party! {St. Eve Review}

On January 23, 1976, Steve C. Demakos founded St. Eve Creations, Inc. The company — whose name was derived from his auspicious given name — was designed to target the growing novelty cotton panty market. The company has since grown into the sleepwear and children’s markets. The St. Eve corporate headquarters were first located in the fashion center of the world — New York City — where they remain today.

St. Eve sells to all major department stores, including Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bealls, Mandee’s, Loehmanns, Frederick’s of Hollywood, Filene’s, Robinson’s, Fashion Bug, Marshall Field’s, Urban Outfitters, Kohl’s, Sears, and JC Penney’s. ~ St. Eve

The set includes a short sleeved top, adorable pink giraffe print pants, and cute pink shorts…with a ruffles on the bottom!!! CUTE! Since they have arrived, every night she is asking for her pink giraffe jammies! She really loves them and I don’t blame her! The bubbly giraffe character makes the perfect pal for her, bursting with personality! Not only are these jammies extra soft and comfy, but they are SO adorable, too! I wish I had a pair! Your child would love a pair of pajamas from St. Eve Kids! They are available in infant/toddler & kids sizes!

tn We received the most adorable pair of “Captain Heartbreaker” pj’s from St. Eve kids. When they arrived my little guy squealed in delight. They came with a pair of pants and also a pair of shorts so we can extend the wear of them from Summer to Fall. I love that. Definitely helping mommy save some money through out the seasons.They fit him so well and they are soft and comfortable. Plus they are super affordable.

Does Your Child Have Spunk? {Spunky Stork Review}

I absolutely love children’s clothing that has attitude and speaks on behalf of them. I mean, they can’t tell us what they think so I love giving them a voice through their clothing. When I was introduced to Spunky Stork I fell in love with their adorable clothing. They feature bright colors, and the funniest sayings. They can even make you a custom shirt or onesie with your choice of verbiage. There are no limits to what they can create.

I received a red onesie with LOVE printed on it. It will be perfect for my new baby girl to wear when she arrives and through the holiday season. I plan on pairing it with a cute denim skirt and red tights. Oh-she will be so cute thanks to the Spunky Stork.

They even feature a onesie of the month club! What a great gift idea. Your recipient will receive a new onesie every month throughout the year. DARLING IDEA!

You can keep up with Spunky Stork on Twitter, Facebook, and through their Blog. If you would like to subscribe to their newsletter you can do so here.

simply adorable! {Simply Chickie Review}

logo Simply Chickie is a line of adorable and witty organic clothing designed to let little ones express themselves with their own personal statements!

When Gwen was pregnant with her daughter, Elizabeth, she decided to put the designs on clothes. So, the Little E Chickie wear line began. The clothing is printed on 100% organic cotton – a very important thing to Elizabeth – though she doesn’t quite know that yet!
Gwendolyn is the owner of the company, Gwen Designs. Creativity runs in her background; she comes from a long line of artists and writers; in fact, she is a direct descendent of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of the 1850 novel, The Scarlet Letter.
One of her earliest memories is Sundays growing up—when her father would gather crayons, paints, and paper from the kitchen cabinet for her to use while he and her mother slept in until almost noon. During college, she studied art history as well as abstract art with Karen Peterson from Hartford College for Women. Later, she studied the art of watercolor with Laura Eden.
In 1988, she lived in Tokyo, Japan where she became fascinated with the fine detail, elegance, and attention to nature that Japanese art highlights. Japanese paper and paint are the mediums she uses to create the art that gets printed on cards and textiles. ~ Simply Chickie

When trying to decide on an item to order from Simply Chickie, I had the hardest time! Simply Chickie is full of organic darling onesies, t-shirts, and hats! I finally decided on the “I Toot Toot” onesie for Hollies…a perfect fit for him! ha! The cute train is on the front chest as well as the back bottom, too funny! He looks so cute in his onesie and every one gets a little chuckle when they see him wearing it! Aside from the cute factor, this onesie is 100% organic & super soft. You can read on the Simply Chickie website about exactly how it’s made, it really is awesome! Certified organic cotton grown on organic farms! No pesticides, or fertilizers! So amazing. I always get a little extra comfort knowing my baby is wearing something so pure!

Super Comfy! {be present Review}

Let’s just say I am not into yoga yet (I recently tried pregalates while being pregnant)…but I do like to live a yoga lifestyle. I just love to be comfortable right now especially while being pregnant! be present is my favorite shop for comfy clothing.

be present sent me a pair of French Terry Resort Pants to review. Let’s just say that saying I Love Them, would be a total understatement. Right now with my pregnancy I really hate wearing jeans or tight fitted pants. These are perfect. If I could live in them everyday for the rest of my life I would! These ones feature a drawstring waist with two adorable patch pockets. The fit is perfect. Comfy and still flattering. Every time I wear them out I get asked where I got them :) They are made of an organic french terry that is super soft. I am able to machine wash them,but only downside is that I have to hang them to dry because I do not want them to shrink :) Plus I will be able to wear them after the baby comes.

Next I will have to try out their tees. Don’t they look super comfy?

So whether you are into yoga or just being comfortable this clothing line is perfect for you.

Head over and start shopping at be present!

shawnABC Neckties, a member of the Affordable Style network, carries the best brands and models of discount ties.  They work directly with manufacturers in order to pass the savings on to their customers.  Ties are always in stock and ship within 24 hours.  To make things even better…within the US all orders are shipped FREE!  Nervous about ordering off the internet?  With ABC Neckties, you can have the confidence of ordering because they have a money back guarantee

ABC

When I was asked to review ABC Neckties, I hooked my husband up with the website and let him take his pick.  He looked at striped ties, silk ties, and solid ties.  After about 10-15 minutes he finally narrowed it down to his top three.  After showing all of them to me, he finally made a decision.  (Now I know what he deals with when I am clothing shopping. :D )  He picked the Martinez Striped Silk Tie.  The colors are vibrant, the material is thick, and it looks great on him.  Another happy customer!

One thing I really like about the company is the prices!  They are amazing.  The tie my hubby picked out is on sale right now for $12.71!  Steal of a deal.

Tu-Tu Cute {Just For Me Baby}

il_430xN_120741622 I am an Etsy lover! I think it is such a fabulous place to shop! You can find all things vintage and handmade…pretty much find anything your little heart desires! And I love buying handmade! Just for Me Baby is an etsy shop full of original, handmade products made by a stay at home mama of two beautiful boys. A love for “little ones” inspired this mother to dress, snuggle and doll them up! There are several adorable pettiskirt designs as well as super cute headbands. Feel free to be picky when ordering items,  Just for Me Baby loves personalizing any item to fit your personality!

pettipic

Just for Me Baby sent my daughter the most adorable green pettiskirt! I have always loved pettiskirts, but have never wanted to pay the big bucks to get one! Just for Me Baby offers an affordable and equally as adorable option! I love photography and see these skirts all over the place in the children’s photography world; so excited to have one to use! The bright green material is so pretty and soft and it looks so darling on Ava. She loves to dance and twirl in her “princess skirt” {that is the name she has affectionately given to it!}. I think she has had it on every day since it arrived in the mail! It is really great quality and I just love that it is handmade!

Bathing Suit Beauty {Diviine Modestee Giveaway} CLOSED

image

Spring is just about here!  This is the perfect time to start working on your summer body and to find a great swimming suit.  That is right, I said the dreaded words…SWIMMING SUIT!  If you are like me, these two little words can bring some mighty big tears to your eyes.

Finding the perfect swimming suit is difficult.  It is too low cut, too high cut, not the right material, too revealing…the list goes on and on.  For me, I don’t have the best middle section so I like to keep it to myself.  I like to keep strangers eyes on my face and not my gut.  However, I don’t like one piece suits because I have a long torso…long torso in a short torso suit equals wedgie!  Therefore, I go to the tankini.  Again, because I have a long torso I have a hard time finding a top that covers that lower abdomen roll I have going on.  When I heard about Diviine Modestee my heart stopped for a second.  Finally, suits that are tankinis with long tops and bottoms that do what they should…cover my bottom.

Diviine Modestee, a Utah based business, carries clothes that give you style and confidence.  They have a swim suit line that is out of this world!  They are modest swim suits that are made out of super thick and soft material.  Each suit is lined to prevent becoming see though when wet.  Design your own suit to match your style by picking which top and which bottom you like.  Don’t know which style will best suit your body?  Use their swim suit shape guidelines to help you pick out a flattering suit.

Here are a couple of suits I designed that I am dying to have:

image

This is the Teal Starburst Ruffle V-Neck Halter with a Cocoa Brown Ruched bottom.

Luckily the store front for Diviine Modestee is just down the street from where I live so I have seen this up close in person.  It isn’t so much teal as it is green.  I love it!  The ties on the bottom can be adjusted to a bikini bottom or a midrise bottom.

image

This is the Raspberry/Cocoa Ruched with Sash top paired with the Cocoa Brown Banded Midrise bottoms.

I love the color of this pink top!  It is sure to make you look super tan.  The ruching on the top is flattering for any tummy.  The banded midrise bottoms help support your stomach.

image

This is the Bubbles Banded Halter Top matched with the Purple Ruffle Bikini bottoms.

This bubbles material is so cute!  I like the banded halter top because it gives you definition between your chest and your stomach.  Also, if you look closely you will notice pleats at the bottom of the cup just above the purple band.  This gives the illusion of added fullness.   Now THAT is a suit created by a woman!  The bottoms are complete with feminine ruffles on the sides.

Diviine Modestee allowed me to design my very own suit fit just for my style.  This was hard to make a decision because everything is adorable.  After much debate and a few opinions from co-workers I went with the Purple Dots Ruffle Halter top and Purple Dots Banded Midrise bottoms.  They fit perfectly and cover up everything I don’t want strangers seeing. P1020396Here is a close up of the top.  Look how cute those ruffles are!  This is a great top for big chested women.  The halter provides great support.  Also, I really appreciate how it isn’t low cut.  I like to keep some things to myself, you know.P1020400

The back is cut high.  This allows you to still get a great tan but doesn’t expose too much to the world.P1020398

The bottoms are the highest cut to help lengthen the leg.  Great for me because I have muscular dancer legs.  In the back it is full coverage.  Perfect for me because I love my ice cream but don’t need the world to know that.

P1020399

The waist band is the highest height.  This is perfect for tummy control and minimizing hips.  But look!  It can be folded down to provide comfort for those of us who struggle with things sitting up to high on our waist.

P1020406 P1020403

Not only do I love the styles and materials of Diviine Modestee swimming suits, I love that you can mix and match them!  Buy a pair of plain bottoms and match it with several different tops and vice versa!  This is a great way to keep your summer pool side wear different without having to own 15 different suits.  I will be a loyal customer for sure!  It is nice to not have spend hours searching for the perfect suit.

Diviine Modestee is offering a 15% discount for Real Moms Real Views readers!  Just enter the code EVERYDAY15.  Thanks Diviine Moestee!

Too Cute to be Boys! {Girl Gotch Giveaway} CLOSED

logo It is so exciting and such a milestone to get your daughter potty trained and finally into those super adorable big girl panties! Then you realize that in all their cuteness, your squirmy girl is now squirming for a different reason…these wonderful big girl panties don’t.fit.right!

Rebecca Winterhalt came across this very same dilemma while potty training her daughter in 2008. Rebecca found that there was a lack of quality products on the market. Most underwear seemed to ‘ride-up’ or be really uncomfortable. She stumbled upon a solution on day after her daughter had an accident and had to borrow some of her nephew’s underwear. She discovered they fit just right! She then decided to design her own “Girl Gotch”! Girl Gotch underwear was created in the fashion on the original boys brief and boxer but made ‘too cute to be boys’. Rebecca has been working with designers and manufactures to get what she believes are the best girls underwear on the market!

cuteI was so excited to receive panties from Girl Gotch for my Ava to try! As you know we’ve been potty training and she is doing so awesome! I have been thinking it’s time I put all my faith in her and go all panties all the time! I know she can do it! She spends time every day in them and does really well. It’s just so final…no more diapers! That’s a good thing…a GREAT thing! So I have bought her several pairs of big girl panties to wear and they all seem to be a little uncomfortable for her. She is always pulling at them, wiggling around in them, and they always seem to ride up on her. When I stumbled across Girl Gotch I knew they could be our answer. They offer two styles: the Brief and the Boxer {yes, for girls!}. The brief is inspired by the original ”tighty whitey“, they have taken the style and made it to be all girl. They feature a one inch covered elastic pic waistband and material binding around the legs. the Boxers are great to wear under skirts or for sports. Or your daughter may just prefer this style for everyday, you never know! They looked so sturdy and with both fantastic designs I was hoping one of them would work for us. Turns out they both do! Yay! When I first pulled them out of the box Ava immediately wanted to put them on {good sign!} and kept telling me they were pretty :) . As she was getting into them, I couldn’t help but notice how thick and soft the fabric was…none of the paper thin material so many of her other pairs are made of! The briefs are super adorable with their bright colors and white edging and the boxers, well, who doesn’t love a toddler bum in boxer briefs?! So, so cute! These big girl panties are definitely the way to go! She is loving wearing them and I can tell she is totally comfortable in them. No more pulling and squirming!
