At long last we’ve finally found exactly where you too can find THE most perfect pair of little gold mary janes that we have ever laid eyes on. That sweet little Suri Cruise has been spotted in them about a gazillion times.

Every time we see a photo of her, it’s those fabulous little shoes that we’re dreaming of!  This one really took some research and apparently it’s nothing but the absolute best for this pint-sized fashion icon. The shoes are called “Galgrain” and they are from Bonpoint, one of the very finest children’s fashion houses in Paris.  The shoes come in a variety of sizes from infant through toddler and then girls. They retail for between $220 and $270 depending on size, and ooh la la are they ever la crème de la crème.

Go to www.Bonpoint.com for store information.  They are pretty exclusive and do not sell online.  Try calling one of their boutiques in New York, Boston, Palm Beach or Beverly Hills.  Special thanks to Nastja of http://suricruisefashion.blogspot.com for all of her help:)!

We are so excited about this week’s review of the ERGO Baby Carrier! It is a complete solution and does so much for only one product! It is extremely versatile, works for a broad range of ages and is so incredibly well-made that it will actually last through this broad range of ages a few times over!

Don’t just take our word for it either.  Julia Roberts and her baby boy Henry love theirs!  ERGO makes a great line of organic carriers now too, which was Julia’s pick, just FYI.

How many different functions can the ERGO actually handle? How many pieces of baby gear can it lighten your load?  Let’s see. With the ERGO HandsFree System you can leave the stroller and diaper bag at home for once. Amazing, right?!?!  You can also wear it on your front, back or even on your hip! It is really easy to breastfeed in too, even having that great little hood that makes a fabulous fixed nursing cover.  Also you can forget purchasing a sling, wrap, infant carrier, toddler carrier, etc…  The ERGO is all of these!  It will take you some time to grow out of too since it is completely intended to be used from birth up to 40 pounds, but has been tested for up to 90!!!  They recommend using it for as long as you and your child are comfortable.  How easy is that?!?

We love the accessories too!  ERGO offers an Infant Insert, a fabulous Backpack and a Front Pouch which we absolutely love.  They really contribute so much to the overall functionality of the system.  Use the Backpack as a clip on diaper bag!  Store your cell phone, credit card and some cash in the Front Pouch and leave your purse at home!  Keep your tiny sweetie snug and cozy with the Infant Insert!  They all work marvelously with the ERGO Carrier and you are sure to love them as much as we do.

The ERGO Baby Carrier’s incredibly ergonomic design supports a correct sitting position for the baby’s hip, pelvis and spine growth. It also effectively disperses most of the baby’s weight between the hips and thighs, which helps to eliminate compression of the spine when hanging by the crotch, which most other baby carrier designs require. The ERGO also balances the baby’s weight to parents’ hips and shoulders too, effectively alleviating physical stress on mommy and daddy…Yayee!!!

Visit www.ergobabycarriers.com for more information and to order your own.  The ERGO Baby Carrier retails at $105 and the ERGO Organic Carrier retails at $120.

Little Violet Affleck has been pictured a few times recently in this adorable little Rainbow and Butterfly Joanna Hoodie by Juicy Couture!  As our sources tell us, it was purchased by her mommy  Jennifer Garner, at MilkShop.com.

It can be found HERE and sells as a set juicily including matching pants for $170.  Go ahead ladies, splurge!  After all, she’s worth it!!!

THIS JUST IN: The A-List loves Bla Bla Dolls!  MilkShop.com says that there is an absolute run on the Bla Bla Dolls as pictured here.  They aren’t exactly sure why, but thought they would let us know since sales are on fire right now for these little things.  All of the celebs (almost literally) are buying them either for their own children or as a gift.

Marcia Cross and her sweet little twin girls Eden and Savannah were at Petit Tresor in Brentwood, CA this past weekend. Daddy, Tom Mahoney must sat this one out.  They were just browsing but couldn’t eave the store without half a dozen super cozy pink blankets from My Blankee!

We can’t say that we blame them at all.  My Blankee Blankets are just SO SOFT!!!  Look for them coming up in an upcoming review and SWAG ALERT just for you on BellazizasFavorites.com!

Oompa Toys is our absolute FAVORITE place to shop for the best toys ever and we wanted you to know why.

We are really big fans of anything cozy around here.  The softer, fluffier and bigger the better!  The Snuggly by Cover Me Collections of New Zealand is the most amazing blanket for both babies and children of all ages.  It’s not your typical blanket for lots of reasons…oh and by the way, we REALLY do look all over to bring you the absolute BEST:)!!!

First things first… it’s huge!  It measures 150cm x 120cm (that’s about 5ft x 4ft for those of us on the left side of the pond).  It’s not the usual 29″x35″ baby blanket that costs what, $80 and may or may not hold up so well?  It is twice that in size and so much more in quality and durability.  It is appropriate for small babies as well as children of all ages, growing with the child in this way!  It’s a true heirloom.

It is made of one of the premier natural fibers in the world, New Zealand Merino Wool.  New Zealand Merino Wool is different from other wools and merino wools from around the world as it is known especially for its unmatched softness and luxurious feel.  Think fine cashmere without the shedding or super delicate nature.  New Zealand Merino Wool is one of the softest and finest fibers in the world and is produced exclusively by New Zealand high country farmers who are committed to finding harmony with nature.  No chemicals or unsafe treatments here – only purity and cozy warmth for your little ones.

The Snuggly is lightweight and machine washable.  We tested it out a few different ways, a few spills, etc and then a few wash and dries and it really is amazingly well-made.  You would think that with it being wool that it would be a washing nightmare with kids, but it in fact has proven to be the exact opposite!

Using the absolute best materials really does make such a difference from the wool to the gorgeous French ribbon around the edge.  You can really tell after experiencing this balnket just how much thought and care went into it and how no corners were cut at all in its production…well except for the four corners themselves!

Moms and Dads, would you like your own version of The Snuggly?  Lucky you!!!  Cover Me Collections has also made an equally luxurious and super cozy throw for you bigger babies out there, The Passion Throw!  It’s absolutely gorgeous, compliments any decor and is made with the same integrity and quality of The Snuggly, including being made with the same 100% New Zealand Merino Wool.

Check out www.covermeblankets.co.nz for more information, or to purchase.  They retail at $199 NZD (Just under $135 USD based on today’s exchange rates) and are sure to impress as the perfect gift.  Also, shop right now and save 30% on a limited selection!  They are happy to ship anywhere in the world too so hurry before they run out or the exchange rates change:)!  Once distributed widely within the US, the price may not be this good!!!
