PinkBlush Maternity Review and Giveaway

So not too long ago PinkBlush Maternity reached out to me to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their items. I of course replied yes! I have seen there stuff all over but hadn't ordered from them before and now I am hooked. What I loved most about the pieces wasn't just how trendy and adorable they were, but also had affordable everything was. The best part they have stuff that works post baby!

The maternity dress I choose is perfect for this amazing spring weather. It's light weight and flowly while being cute and comfortable. I paired it with some tory sandals and a sweater from target. It was a fabulous spring look. And like I mentioned before I totally think this will be easy to pull off post baby. I loved the print it's classy and trendy at that same time, if you haven't noticed by now I am obsessed with navy so this was a great fit to my personal style.

I also decided this would be a great opportunity to order a cute pair of pajama's as well. I had a c section with C so I wanted something that I can take to the hospital or use at home with baby girl that won't irritate my incision. These adorable pajamas are perfect for just that! They are so soft and comfortable. The waist is very stretchy as well so they will be great for lounging around at home and the top will be perfect for nursing.

Stitch Fix Review #5

This has easily been one of my favorite boxes yet. I made mention after my last box to Stitch Fix that I wanted to see more fall pieces but since it's been so hot here I needed fall pieces that were light weight. They totally got the memo and sent me some things I just love. 

THML | Tavia Pullover Sweater | Medium | $68.00

This top is so cute, I love the mix of stripes and the navy and olive together. I need up sending it back though because it was itchy. It has wool in it and for me that's kind of a no go, I have a hard time with harsh fabrics but I loved the look of the top a lot. 

Market & Spruce | Sawyer Space Dye Dolman Sleeve Knit Top | Medium | $58

This I kept, you all know I am a sucker for a good dolman top and market and spruce apparently. This is such a light weight sweater, perfect for the upcoming southern California "winter". 

Fate | Adair Jacket | Medium | $68

This jacket was the only thing in the box I wasn't a huge fan of. It was too big and felt very boxy on, plus the length on me wasn't my favorite I would have preferred it shorter, so it went back.

Kut From Kloth | Kate Distressed Boyfriend Jean | 6 | $88

Last month as you saw here, I kept the Kut Kloth jeans they were the only thing from last months box I liked. Well I went to put them on last week and they ripped in the zipper/crouch area. I wrote Stitch Fix about it since I hadn't even owned them a month yet and I wash in cold water and hang to dry. They are letting me return them with the returns from this month and offered a replacement or refund. I decided to get a refund, because I like the above jeans better so win win for me I suppose. 

Street Level | Horon Reversible Magnetic Closure Tote | $48

This bag is SO cute and so versatile. I love it and when I saw it I knew I was keeping it. Super pumped to add this one to my bag collection. 

All and all I really enjoyed this fix.

Clean Bambino Review and Special Offer

Now It's officially fall! With that being said it's back to school, making lunches, cleaning up after summer, all with a pumpkin spice latte in hand. Am I right? Just in time to get ready for the holidays that are right around the corner. 
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Clean Bambino to take a look at their service and maybe try it out. I was so excited to when I found out it was a mobile detailing service for strollers and car seats. Since we had C, basically I have been overly paranoid about our stroller and car seat being clean. You spend so much money on this things and they so easily get trashed. I've been saying do while now there should be a service that should clean them for you, because who wants to spend the better part of a Saturday deep cleaning kids stuff. 

Now with a toddler in tow who basically needs a snack if I want to run any errands, we've had cheddar bunnies, fruit snacks, tougher bites all sorts of things buried into our stroller. So when clean bambino contacted me, I immediately said to my husband "babe there's a mobile detailing service for our stroller and car seat, we HAVE to try it!" I contacted Michael right away and set up a appointment. He was so friendly and responded right away, he even accommodated my schedule when I couldn't make my original appointment.
When he came he had everything he needed to get our orbit baby stroller and car seat spotless. He even used honest company products and steam to get it all clean. I loved how thorough he was and his attention to detail was spectacular.
Here are our before and after photos. 

You see how the fabric is so dusty looking? I know wheels are going to get dirty, I mean they touch the floor but these are gross, then you put these ditty wheels back into the car! 

Same here, I wash this fabric take the car seat apart and vacuum, but there is still snack residue. 

Heres the stroller now, its so shiny. It's look brand new! He steamed cleaned all the fabric and polished the frame, I love love love how it turned out. 

Now this is spectacular, he got to every nook and cranny. This hasn't looked so clean in a while. It sparkles. 

He did all the prams and accessories too! 

Michel has offered a special for my readers. He's willing to do the basic cleaning for $30 and the detail for $60. Just mention Bumps Babes and Bellini's when booking! 

Side note, he also does car seat education and can check if you have your seat installed properly. 

This is totally something I'd love to do again in the future. I mean you clean your kids crib sheets and changing pads, why not the same for their car seats and strollers. I for one love clean stuff and making it easy, where mom doesn't have to do it, well that's just an added bonus.

Stitch Fix Review #3

Got my third box this week and they nailed it! Even though I only kept two pieces I was pretty pumped with this box and it totally got me in the mood for fall, now if only the weather out here would cooperate.

41Hawthorn | Queensland Dolman Jersey Top | Medium | $48 

This dolman top was one of my favorites, I wore it immediately as you can see by the wrinkles. Haha I washed it and forgot it in the dryer. I love how comfortable it is, and the color was not my first choice but I thought it looked good on me.

Market & Spruce | Corinna Striped Dolman Top | Medium |$48

This top is super fall and super comfortable. You all know I am a sucker for stripes. This top fit great and is a fabulous fall transition top.

Kut From The Kloth | Siena Cropped Pant | 6 | $58 

Fun3Fun | Julianna Back Cutout Top | Medium | $38

I loved these black pants and I was surprised by how much. They are more trouser style, which I usually don't love. I loved the length but the fit was a tad bit off. They were a bit snug in the hips which wasn't super flattering. This top I super loved and so badly wanted it to fit, it would have been perfect for our upcoming trip. Unfortunately it's way to short in the front. I don't like it when tops come up that short on me, it's very unflattering. So these went back.

Zad | Martin Mini Layered Metal Cuff | $28

This bracelet is cute just not my taste. I'm a little picky when it comes to jewelry. So this was also a no go.

All and all I love this box. I wish that green top was a little longer and I would have kept all the clothes, and it was fun to get a accessory this time. Till next time!

Vacation for Two Please | Pint Size Board Book Review & Promo Code

Steve and I are going on a trip, and I have a confession I may be slightly more nervous than I am excited. You see it's our first time leaving the peanut for this long. We've been away overnight once before for anniversary but this time around we will be gone for a full week. 

Personally I feel that it's important for us to nourish our relationship and time alone with just each other. As much as I love family vacations I know it's important to spend some time alone and go away just with my husband. Also, if I'm being super honest Family vacations are not always the most relaxing for mommy and daddy. 

So we are biting the bullet and going away for a week to Fiji! I honestly can't wait, I know that the peanut will be in the best hands because my mom is flying out to spend the week with her. I'm writing  tons of notes down and by the time I'm done I'll probably have a binder full of information for my mom. Including nap schedules, eating schedules, princess ballet (yes I just signed her up for that) and swim. I'm pretty much doing this so I can to ease my nerves about leaving her for the first time for this long. My thought process was anything I can do to help make me feel more comfortable about leaving I should do. 
So I came up with an idea to make the peanut her own board book talking about mommy and daddy going on a trip. I arrived at this when I was looking for books about mommy and daddy going away. Then it struck me, how cool would it be if I can make a custom board book with pictures of our own family showing her that mommy and daddy are away on a trip, how much we miss her, how much fun she'll have with her nanny and how we can't wait to come home and see her.  

In the process of googling, that's when I stumbled across the company Pint Size Productions! This awesome company makes custom board books. You upload your own photos, create your own text, the book can be truly about anything you want! I decided on the 16 page, including cover 5 5/8 x 5 5/8 for our book, and I couldn't be happier.

In our book I wrote how mommy and daddy are going on a trip and how she's going to have so much fun with her nanny. I included photos of the family as well as photos of the peanut with my mom from our last trip to New York and I ended the book with mommy and daddy miss you very much and will be home so soon to give you hugs and kisses. 

The shipping estimate was 10 to 12 days so I made sure I would have plenty of time before our trip. I received it this week and boy I cannot begin to explain to you how excited I was when I got this package. 
The book is fantastic quality it's durable, everything is printed beautifully and it came in such a timely manner. After receiving the book and reading it a few times, my husband and I were so ecstatic with the product that I reached out to the company asking them if I can offer a promo code to my readers! These books are just too cute and the possibilities are endless! 

They graciously created a special code just for you guys! Use promo code BUMPSBABES2015 at checkout for 10% off your order! Now until 11/5/15

So Enjoy! Happy Shopping!

Stitch Fix Review #2

So I got my second box in the mail last week, and I have to say it was way more me then my first. The styles that were picked out this time around were so much more my style, I ended up keeping two of the tops from this box and I have already worn them both twice! So here you have my poorly lit iPhone photos :-) 

I love love love this top! It was by far my favorite in the whole box. 

The fit was perfect and the style was very me 

A view of the back 

Market & Spruce | Xander Short Sleeve Woven Back Sweatshirt - Medium | $54.00

I decided to keep this one, it's crazy comfortable and a wonderful summer to fall top. 

RD Style | Carlotta Mixed Material Knit Top - Medium | $58.00

I am a huge fan of this top. It fit perfectly and was also very comfortable I felt like I could dress this up or down as well depending on the outing. 

Heres a view of the back, I kept this top as well. 

Mavi | Sonja Boyfriend Jeans- 6 | $88

I liked these Jeans but the fell a little to low for me. I prefer a higher rise with my denim. They were also very comfortable and stretchy, but I wish they fit my hips and thighs a bit better. 

Loveappella | Saxby Scoop Neck Top - Medium | $54

I liked this top and felt like it fit nice, but it was a tad itchy for me. The material didn't feel very nice on my skin. I also felt for the top itself it was too pricey. 

Market & Spruce | Elmira Jacket -Medium | $68 

This jacket was different and fun, just not my taste. It made me feel too boxy. I prefer my jackets to be a bit more fitted. 

All and all I loved this box, at least way better then the first one. I'm looking forward to my next fix!

Stitch Fix Review

I recently decided to join stitch fix to see if I can give this mom look a much needed makeover. I thought it might be fun to challenge myself for 6 months and only buy clothes I get from my boxes. I am trying to eliminate the crap I buy and focus on more staple pieces for my wardrobe, without the hassle and headaches that come from trying on clothes in a fitting room. I thought how awesome and easy would it be to have everything delivered to my door. You fill out your style profile answer questions about look, size and what you are comfortable in. Then they select clothes based on what you filled out. You can even link a pintrest board to items you like or would like to try and they do their best to fit that. It fabulous for someone like me since shopping is quite the ordeal. Then you get 5 styled pieces shipped to you monthly, you try them on,  keep what you want and send the rest back. 

So here are my poorly lit iPhone photos of what I received. Unfortunately I am not keeping anything with this box and I'll explain why with each picture. 

Ignore the top that's mine form a deal site from I don't even know how long ago. 

The skirt was sent in the box. It's super cute and I loved the color the fit was great and the length was perfect. I decided not to keep it because I have so many maxis skirts. I am looking for more staple pieces for my wardrobe, so while I did love the skirt it wasn't worth it. 

Loveappella Leanne Maxi Skirt | $44

This top is adorable, just not my taste it was a little to short for my torso and I felt it came down a little low in the arms and cleavage area. I Loved this jeans though, I don't own any distressed denim. I wanted to keep these so bad but they were just too snug in the waist and thighs, so I decide to send them back. 

Pixley Hillway Double Strap Tank | $48 

Mavi Hattie Distressed Skinny Jean | $118 

Although this top is fun and trendy, it's just not my style. The colors are too bright for me and the shirt itself fit way to short on my torso. I also felt the mixed material with the bright color was a little too trendy for me. I think I can to do one or the other just not both together. That's just my opinion. I really didn't care for this one at all. 

Sweet Rain Shava Mixed Material Knit Tank | $44 

Now this denim jacket I LOVED!!!!!! It fit so perfectly and was so comfortable. Seriously like a glove. Stretchy jean material and the perfect length. Heres the things though, I already have 2 denim jackets so I couldn't justify a third. When the times come though and I am in the market for a new one I will hunt this down! 

Mavi Kalie Distressed Denim Jacket | $98 

So the service is $20 a month and that includes the shipping back to them. If you choose to keep anything they take that $20 off what you are keeping, so thats awesome. All and all I would say I was pretty happy with my first box. With some notes to my stylist, and a few more pins I am really looking forward to receiving my next one!
