Sweet Little Shop -- My Princess Closet

A few weeks ago when doing some online shopping we came across what is now one of our favorite online stores for our little princesses. My Princess Closet is a fabulous collection of clothing, accessories, unique gift items and everything your special princess needs in her life.

We just can't brag enough about the swell customer service, budget friendly shipping and fast delivery. The owner, Dawn, sent us a few things for review, and we fell in LOVE with them.

First on the list is the exclusive award winning Hada the Hippo Zoobie! Not only is it a plush toy ($30) but it is a comfy blanket and soft pillow - all in one! Hada makes the perfect traveling companion for your princess! It is so super soft and cuddly and great at her keeping her entertained when she is awake but perfect for keeping her very comfortable while she gets her beauty sleep! Have a little one? BABY ZOOBIES ($25) are the perfect companion for the tiniest of princesses. Very similar to a full-size Zoobie, these little babies open to a pillow and then a blanket - a perfect place for your princess to nap. And just for babies, this blanket has a comfort corner for grabbing and teething.

For those little ones who love to tote things - the Fancy Prancy Princess Goody Bags ($10) are the perfect stylish totes with tricot handles and velcro closure. Pick one out to match your princess' hair color and she will love carrying it around town.

The perfect additions to your little fashionistas wardrobe are the Pinky Tessa by Morgan& Milo. The most popular Mary Jane in beautiful brushed twill has a delicate grosgrain bow, cushioned insole and protective rubber toe bumper - she won't want to take them off! And for a great price - on sale now at 40% off! - they are a little under $23! To go along with the shoes you may want to check out the oh so chic dresses, tops, skirts and pants - all on sale! We love the Ava Dress by Chase 'n Sky but hurry, limited sizes and styles are available. Get shopping NOW! We are sure The Princess Closet is a place you will surely LOVE to shop.

these are a few of our favorite things........

Pottery Barn Kids is a brand every chic-mom is sure to be familiar with as they bring classic beauty to our homes. Over the years they have helped us bring well-designed classic chic furnishings and textiles into our home. Now they are furnishing playrooms to help inspire an imaginative place for our little one’s mind.

Classic toys made out of wood are timeless favorites for all – this is why we love the Pack & Go Farm ($39). It opens to reveal a farm, tractor, corral fencing, tree and four animals for hours of pretend play and imaginative fun. A momma friendly toy (not to mention one of our all time favorites) making for easy clean up as everything can be stashed inside the farm after play and tucked away to look cute just sitting on the shelf. It can easily fold for simple carrying as well. Just to top it off – the farm is crafted of eco-friendly tea wood and engineered wood – only the best for yours.

For the girls in your life, the Polka Dot Doll Pram Stroller ($79) is anything but your average “toy” stroller. Designed after vintage English prams in a soft polka dot pink print, the sturdy (easy to assemble) stroller is perfect for taking leisurely walks in the park. It is well crafted with metal tubing and features an adjustable rubberized handle for those a little shorter or taller – perfect to fit many ages. The little girls who reviewed it for us loved “shopping” with their doll as it features a shopping basket below for all the little things they picked up on the way. The large rubber wheels are perfect for the not so perfect sidewalks and easily accommodate bumpy rides. If you have a tight space, don’t worry, as the stroller easily folds flat for a simple way to store.

When they are all finished playing for the day the Hybrid Anywhere Chair ($39-$90) is the perfect place to curl up in their own corner with a book. With the all new eco-friendly insert ($80-$90), the popular chairs are better than ever. We love how lightweight the chair is making it simple, with a handle for toting from room to room. The insert (sold separately) is made in the USA (always a plus) with recycled foam containing up to 30% soy-based materials. Moms love the machine-washable zip off slipcovers ($39-$59) for easy cleaning and the durable twill, denim or canvas material – it is tough enough for any tot. They are a sure hit in any room.

Chic Ways To Carry Your Little Bundle of Joy

Out of the entire selection of baby carriers we tried & tested we finally have decided on must- have ways to carry your little one. But, don't just pick one, grab them both – as a chic mom you have to remember your baby carrier is now an accessory to your outfit so it is nice to switch it up every now and then!

Baby Carrier: BABYBJÖRN

We all know BABYBJÖRN – a brand synonymous with design, style and Sweden, recently launched the new colorful Spirit collection – a range of baby carries that incorporates the latest fashion colors (we love!) with the practicality of all BABYBJÖRN Baby Carriers we have fallen in love with over the years. The Spirit collection showcases the popular BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original in eight new colors. The vibrant colors make a bold statement against the contrasting black straps. These new color offerings reflect the company's ongoing dedication to providing consumers fashion-forward selections to express their personal style while enjoying carrying their baby close. Our fave: Pink Passion!

Perfect for the mommaista who wants colorful comfort; perfect for every chic mom and her babe. Pink passion is the color of physical tranquility as it suggests nurture, warmth, and soothes rather than stimulates. It is a powerful color (for us supermoms) and represents the survival of the species. Ideal for everyday activities both indoors and out – the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original is a classic carrier perfect for multi-tasking. It is easy to use and comfortable and provides excellent support for baby's back and head and guarantees that the child's legs and arms are in a physiologically correction position. It is the perfect carrier that makes a bold fashion forward accessory in mommywood.

The new BABYBJÖRN colors are available in department and juvenile specialty stores throughout the United States and Canada in early with a suggested retail price of $79.95. To learn more visit the BABYBJÖRN website by clicking here.

Baby Sling: Serena & Lily

For something whimsical and oh so pretty, opt for a sling from Serena & Lily if you're a style maven momma. The Peacock Market Sling displays bold, vibrant colors perfect for any season. The sling lives up to the name with vivid, multicolored crewel embroidery and is a must-have accessory. Made from one seamless piece of fabric without buckles, belts or strap - we found it snug, sleek and easy to wear for any new Mom. It features a lining of 100% organic cotton that is more than gentle against baby's delicate skin – it really is an ode to chic moms everywhere and will make you look and feel fabulous - as we all know the peacock has long been a symbol of fantastic beauty. But, this sling isn't just for looks, its practical too – just toss it in the washing machine – surprisingly they get better looking with every wash!

Obsession is VERY Addicting -- Our Obsession -- MOGO!

Addicted and Obsessed doesn't even

cover how fixated we feel about MOGO.

Just a few days ago we received the uber cute magnetic charm bracelets from MOGO & well, we haven't taken them off since we put them on; it is currently our deepest most prized possession. MOGO is anything but your grandmother's charm bracelet - it's truly a modern and original concept.

MOGO is a modern, artistic, & playful line of accessories that combines interchangeable charms, linkable Charmbands,and reusable packaging for a completely new take on the charm bracelet concept. We LOVE how you can link multiple Charmbands together to make necklaces, headbands, anklebands, wristbands, belts and even special occasion jewelry for your fabulous, furry friends. The possibilities are endless (so let your creative side run wild) with MOGO’s fully adjustable, high quality (and strong!) silver hook that latches onto any of the charmbands rivets. MOGO Charmbands come in five fashion forward colors - perfect for the accessory obsessed fashionista.

It doesn’t stop there! As for the charms - the fresh, fun, magnetic charms connect securely to the charmband rivets with a powerful "click", providing one-of-a-kind personal style. MOGO Charms come in funky & hip designs such as 'Groovy Love', 'Heart to Heart', 'Peace Time', 'Pet Pals', and 'Free Bird'. You can get packaged sets of 3 in a reusable tin that accommodates a Charmband at the bottom making it perfect for gift giving! We recommend stocking up because you will quickly fall in love with this line - we have no doubts!

The Charmband can also be personalized with fun, vibrant letter charms (sold individually) for endless opportunities in spelling words like LOL, BFF, - which is just OMG so perfect for ‘tweens’.

The tweens we know are so hard to shop for, but the fashionable, high quality and affordable (yes, very budget-friendly) MOGO Charmband and Charm set with tin make the perfect oh so chic holiday gift for under $30. We promise you'll want to snag one for yourself too!

The "must have" accessory for tween and chic moms is debuting in December (just in time for the Holiday season!) exclusively at Fred Segal, select Neiman Marcus stores and additional retailers nationwide after the first of the year.

Sidenote: One of our six year old product testers loved her MOGO Charmband and Charms so much she slept in it (and the charms didn’t budge)- definitely the perfect gift for any fashionista in your life.

The website, www.getMOGO.com will be launching soon so keep checking back often!

*Disclaimer: MOGO is Cupcake Mag tested and fashionista approved. We do not get paid to review products. Just like all the products we feature, this is just our opinion (and review) on the brilliant MOGO products mentioned above.

Chic Babes: Sweet Little Sprinklings

Over the past few weeks we have tried & tested many different hair accessories in our little one’s locks. After being sick of losing barrettes and hair pulling clips we ventured out to find the perfect match.

Bugalug is the perfect STAY-PUT accessories for the Urban Girl. Unlike other STAY-PUT hair accessories these stay in without giving your sweet cheeks a headache especially the fully adjustable headbands ($8) which us chic-momma’s can wear too! We adore the no slip bows ($5) to add extra sweetness and the grosgrain ribbon barrettes ($4) in just too fun patterns and prints! The newly launched 3 pack of Pony Loops ($10) are perfect for pony tails (and a cinch to use too!). Don’t forget to check out the Soother Clips ($10) for the tiny tots in your life. The multifunctional clip is perfectly chic to hold the lovey; whether it is a pacifier, toy or Sippy cup.

All of Bugalugs high quality hair accessories are innovative, unique and one-of-a-kind for every style that suits your little, or big girl in an array of fun colors, prints and patterns. It’s easy to express yourself with Bugalug!

As for Creative Clips by Colleen – well, you may have seen them around town or in your weeklies on celeb tots like Tori Spelling’s little one, Stella and Denise Richard’s girls. They are truly for your little oh so chic fashionista.

Colleen Connon, mother of 2, set out after an unsuccessful search for fun hair accessories for her daughter’s fine hair and well, became VERY successful as Creative Clips have became wildly popular. We currently are obsessed with the Blue & Green Peacock headband ($12) that even we can wear, not just our girls! We just can’t get enough of the girly sequin glitz and glam bows in a wide variety of colors and styles. And of course, we adore the Cupcake clips! All the clips feature Velcro to prevent the clip from slipping in fine hair. In fact, there is nothing we don’t like – we are craving all the oh so chic bows and just can’t get enough of these FAB hair accessories.
