Slinky Bracelets

Blast from the past, anyone? Stretch Bracelets are making a hit comeback! (Truthfully, all I remember about these digits is winning bright neon round versions with my arcade tickets. Plus, how they would painfully catch on my arm hair!). But now I'm kind of eyeing the orange one... perfect for Sundays at the beach, paired a bathing suit, t-shirt dress, and flip flops. Honestly, since becoming a mom, I have a weakness for cheap plastic jewelry - it's something for little hands to fiddle with. :)

Summer Baby Giveaway!

Today's giveaway is from Shan and Toad, a charming childrenswear boutique in Jerusalem, Israel. I posted about Shan and Toad here when I had first heard about their launch, and they have since been featuring the most chic and fashion-forward childrens collections. They have enchanting baby clothes, unique and casual boyswear, beautiful dresses you won't see on every other girl, accessories, and just about everything for a full-on wardrobe from designers like Little Marc Jacobs, LA Made, Anne Valerie Hash, and Jo-Lu.

They are now holding a Freidafroo giveaway; 3 lucky readers will win a summer baby body suit from Bobo Choses ($36)! I'm totally eyeing that Ice Pop Body - could just see Hudi living in that this Summer; lazy Sunday picnics at the park, long days at the beach, or that Bicycle Body on early morning rides to the Farmers Market...!

For a chance to win please visit Shan and Toad and leave a comment on the Freidafroo Facebook page. A winner will be chosen at random on Monday.  Good Luck!!

* Winners are comment #6: Chaya Witkes, comment #11: Shira Emmer, and comment #19: Dovid Shayna Toledo! Congrats Ladies, thanks for playing everyone!! xx

Trend Alert: Kaleidoscope Color

A while ago I had caught glimpse of a rug that I just couldn't get out of my mind! The concept of the over and under shades of color and the kaleidoscope vibe had me pining for something as vibrant and full of color action...

That's why I was so over-the-moon when I found these Trina Turk kaleidoscope pillows at a Nordstrom Rack in Arizona! They looked great in my living room (especially with my hot pink walls!), and they're currently inspiring me to be brighter... :)

Paperless Post

Yesterday, while working on a Babyccino birthday, I was deciding how to go about creating an online invitation, and discovered the very beautiful and enchanting world of Paperless Post. I landed there thanks to an invite I received via email a while ago (thanks Atara!!)  featuring the cutest, not-at-all cheesy firetruck! While I was never very keen on using Evite, the immense simplicity and practicality of a site like that was much too attractive to pass up - even though their awful invite designs make almost everyone nauseous. Well, there's now a cure - the folks over at Paperless Post have seriously delivered!!! A wonderfully designed website, a genius method of purchase, classy and tactful function - all wrapped up with a slew of insanely beautiful invitations!!

Not only is the art just breathtaking, but the variety of formats are a breath of fresh air! Check out the paper texture in these e-cards:

Plus, somehow they manage to make even the most basic party themes chic and gorgeous!! Robot party anyone? Red balloon? Aren't they just adorable??

I'm so looking forward to my next party!! :)

Baby Gym Beauties

No baby item has got itself as bad a rap as the "baby gym". (Well, maybe the exersaucer. But that's for another post.) Gnarly colors, awful illustrations, and cheap synthetics all amount to a pile of yuckiness for a price that isn't quite on the low-ball end of things anyways! Well, this morning I'd love to share a few baby gyms that are not at all an eyesore to your overall design aesthetics, and are even quite living room worthy (high and low):

Finn + Emma Wooden Play Gym - comes in chocolate and birch, $135

Natural Wood Baby Gym - handmade of VOC-free Baltic Birch $90

Ikea Leka Baby Gym - bentwood design on the cheap! $25

Mid-Century Modern Baby Gym DIY - craftiness + power tools + $25!!

(Shoutout of thanks to our Babyccino models Sara Leah and Chana!! :))
