PS – I’m not quite a ‘Boston Blogger’… I know.  I love my New York:)!!  I did go to MassArt and live in Boston during the time I was in school there though!  I had to come up with a title people and it worked! Hehe!  Really hope to see you there!

We’re big fans of Vincent Shoes out of Sweden, and that’s no surprise to anyone. What’s not to like? They’ve got the European styling of their more expensive cousins, and great quality too! It’s the price that’s different! Much lower; and in this economy, who’s not at least a little tempted by that?!?!  Yeah. We are too.

That’s when we get all warm and fuzzy… when design, quality and value meet all together and have a big party! Vincent’s always good for that for sure.

This season, just like any other, we have our Favorites! There are always a ton of great styles and colors to choose from, but these two little boots just stole our hearts!

Speaking of hearts! These Susan boots are just the cutest. (They also go so very well with practically anything from Lemon Loves Lime’s Fall 09′ collection!) They come in a few different color options too. Velcro is always easy, but what we love MOST are the adorable little shiny hearts and how comfy they are for everyday! Too too cute!

The other style that we love this season is Rudolph. They have the classical styling that goes with anything, but with a little edge! They’re so great too at not showing wear with the textured patent leather finish. There’s a variety of colors to suit any little boy or girl, and they make a great little accessory with jeans or a hip look in the right dress or skirt too! Something unexpected? Yes, they work that way too!

Check out VincentShoeStore.us for more info and to see their entire collection and right now, 10% Off on All Vincent Kids’ Shoes-Coupon Code VIN-DEAL-10

I just found something that is going to save me time and money on a regular basis!  It’s a lot of fun too:)!  Check out Alice.  It’s a service to help you buy all of the kitchen, bathroom, household, baby, kid and lots of other STUFF that we all have to get regularly but have to go find first, put it in the cart, purchase and then lug it home.  We are now happily ‘lug-free’!  Heck, let UPS do it, right?!?! Oh, it’s ALWAYS FREE SHIPPING at Alice too!  Even for tiny orders:)!!!  Definitley, let UPS do it since it’s easyyyy and only takes 2-3 days!

Saves me MONEY:  The best part (other than saving a ton of time on a regular basis, which I know I mentioned) is the AUTOMATIC COUPONS!!!  Yes, that’s right!  All of those manufacturer’s coupons are automatically found and applied to your order!  Yesterday I placed my first order and bought a pack of Huggies Supreme diapers that retails for $10.99 and usually costs $9.69 from Alice… for only $3.50 after coupons!  Take a peek and notice how MANY of the things I bought had coupons!!

All in all, I bought over $80 worth of things I buy ANYWAY, I got it delivered for free, and AFTER COUPONS I ONLY SPENT $56.76!!!!!!!!(…)!!!

Saves me TIME: Now instead of tromping though the store and forgetting a few things along the way… and buying some more that I don’t really need… I get to pull up my “Shelf” to see what I always buy!

You can even get automatic reminders if you want.  Alice’s organizational features are truly fantastic and I am really looking forward to never running out of anything ever again, and the cumulative savings of both time and money thanks to Alice.

Also, Alice makes shopping Green and Organic very easy!  They carry lots of great brands like Earth’s Best, Gerber Organic, Tom’s, Kashi, Seventh Generation and MORE!

Want to try Alice and save $10 off of your first order?  CLICK HERE, sign up to shop and never run out of anything again!  It’s SO simple and trust us it’s going to be one of your Favorite Things just like it is ours:).

I’ll see ya there!  Look for me online at Alice as Bellaziza in the “Neighborhood” and we can chat or tell me what you think in the comments of this post:)!  For now, back to shopping….

What’s better than Vincent Shoes for your little ones, you might ask?  Well Vincent Shoes at up to 75% off, of course!!!  Summer is definitely here and I know I was wondering there for a month or so, but good to see ya back old friend!  Time to break out the warm weather gear, and find the perfect sandals too!   As always, we’ve saved you a little bit of time with that and highlighted some pretty sweet discounts to boot!  (’Boot’, ah haa….ok, whatever!)

Vincent Shoes is a Swedish company that makes the most fantastic line of kids shoes! Beyond the great design and quality materials used, the price is also surprisingly affordable! I mean, doesn’t every parent get tired of dropping serious amounts of money on kids shoes and then they grow out of them before they’re even broken in? I know I do. That’s what’s so great about Vincent. You won’t ever really spend more than $50 on their shoes, yet you’ll get great quality and that chic European look for about half of what you would normally spend! We think their sandals are just spectacular!

We like the OLIVIA Sandal ($47.95 sale priced $33.55) for everyday running around since it’s basically like a sneaker with some cutouts for ventilation. Think happy toes that are covered and protected! The velcro closures are also a plus for those independent little ones who just HAVE to do everything themselves:)!! (No mention, Isabella!!)  The lining is leather too – so comfy sans socks!

For dressier (or even casual!) wear, we love the LISA Sandal in white ($44.99 sale priced $23.55!). The classic white sandal is always a must for every little girl, right? The closure is velcro, again (yayee!), and the lining is leather to keep those little feet nice and comfortable. The top is also velcro so this is a great choice for kids with wider feet. For more info and to shop the SUMMER SALE that’s going on right now, CLICK HERE to check them out online. Enjoy the summer and your Vincent Sandals!!

We have been on the lookout for our Favorite Layette Collection for quite some time now, and have finally found it!  So join us in welcoming Babycottons as our freshest Favorite Thing for your freshest favorite thing!  Babycottons is a well-known baby brand in their native Argentina and all over South America, but with their recent expansion into the United States with boutique locations in New York, New Jersey and Florida, now we have access to the best in babywear too!!!

Babycottons absolutely has it all!  The fabrics are the absolute softest and most luxurious 100% Pima Cotton imaginable.  They have the most beautiful designs, the most adorable little patterns that you’ve ever seen, and they have all of the loveliest matching accessories that any little baby could ever need or want!  BONUS: They even have larger sizes in many items up to a 6T for big brothers and sisters!!!

They also have quite the a-list celebrity following including Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Isla Fischer…and Tom Brady and Bridget Moynahan’s little boy Jack just adores their exquisite sweaters!  Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s new daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth’s entire layette is reportedly from Babycottons too!  It is truly the best of the best and something that you and your little prince or princess will absolutely enjoy.

We just loved the fact that it all washes SOOOO well, never getting that “washed” look, even after repeated washings.  It retains it’s ultra luxurious appearance wash after wash!  We also love all of the different matching accessories that are available from burp cloths to receiving blankets, hooded towels to the cutest little baby hats ever!  Babycottons really does have it all, and at a price that can compete with other higher-end layette lines while offering SO much more!  More washability, wearability, more generous sizing, more matching accessories, much cuter patterns… and on and on.  Most of their patterns also come with pink or blue options so little girls and boys can match without going gender neutral…blah!

Check out our very Favorite Thing in their collection, the “Humita“!  It’s a gown that converts at the bottom to become little pants!  It’s so easy for those first days around the house (no snaps to fasten to change that diapey!), but easily converts for easy use in the car seat or just a different look!  Also check out their FABULOUS Winter Sale where you can scoop up the last remaining pieces of their adorable Chef Collection and more!  Shipping is free for purchases over $150 too!  Oh, how we LOVE Babycottons!
