Tea Collection – Not Just for Kids!

One of my favorite brands for my kids is definitely Tea Collection! Matter of fact, Tea makes up somewhere between 1/2 – 2/3 of my 2yo’s wardrobe. It is stylish, unique, and well-made. So, when Tea approached me about reviewing something from their Women’s Spring Collection, I was thrilled! I had never thought about buying Tea for me … I never left the pages of kid clothes! How had I not shopped their women’s line?

First off, their customer service is AWESOME! I am probably one of the pickiest people in the world about customer service, and yet they WOWed me from the beginning. I was unsure of what size to buy and the lovely lady at Tea walked me through each garment I had chosen to help me select the right size for me. She was patient, kind, and a great salesperson (I ended up buying an additional piece that wasn’t included in my gift certificate).

I chose the Modernista Tee in 2 different colors, and added on the Hojas del Mar Tunic. The tees are a cool dolmen style and are so soft that my husband couldn’t stop rubbing my back when I wore one the other day (no complaints here). The best part about these is that they go with everything! I’ve worn them with yoga pants and tennis shoes; jeans, a beaded necklace, and a pair of sandals; and even slacks, nice jewelry, and high heels. I am a lover of the tunic-style, so the Hojas del Mar was the perfect item to add to my wardrobe. I wore it for the first time at our anniversary dinner in Disney World – it was comfy, cute, and fun.

Tea has added a few cool spring dresses that I have my eye on, too. There is one thing that I wish they had, but didn’t … wide-leg trousers. All their pants were of the skinny variety, and I don’t love that style.

And, although I was only asked to write about Women’s, I will add that they have the cutest summer dresses for girls right now – under $30! [I just ordered some for each of my girls.] Have boys? No worries! Tea has some great new arrivals for boys, too!

Hurried Homemaker was provided with a gift certificate to purchase items of my choosing to review. While some of the products mentioned in this post were received for free, this did not affect the opinions reflected in this post.

Spring Fashion Guide: Baby Star Rock the Tote Diaper Bag

Spring Fashion Guide: Baby Star Rock the Tote Diaper Bag

Update:

Every mom needs a fabulous diaper bag … you know, the kind that you’ll want to carry after you don’t need it anymore. Look no further than baby star diaper bags. These folks weren’t joking when they named this perfect bag “Rock the Tote”!

I personally love the kaleidoscope bag, but the silver is to-die-for! Forget these just being your new spring bag – you could rock this tote all year long (pun intended). And this is one of the most affordable diaper bags at only $60. Want to know what’s even cooler? This shop – maker of responsible, sustainable, and safe products – was started by a husband a wife after the birth of their first child (they now have 3). I love that!

Spring Fashion Guide: The Hessnatur Organic Cotton Cardigan

Spring weather is so nice compared the dull, cold days of winter, but it has its own share of cool days. What’s a spring wardrobe without a simple cotton jacket? Even better if it is made from organic cotton!

This Organic Cotton Cardigan is the perfect quickie jacket for weekends or runs to the school. Made by the eco-conscious, fair-/humane-laboring, customer-friendly company, hessnatur. This cardigan is soft and the perfect weight for spring! It comes in 3 colors: terracotta, bordeaux, and putty. I love the natural putty color, and even better – it is only $48 (the other colors are $75). Not only can you save by choosing the putty, but enter: M1U001 and enjoy free shipping and returns on your first order.

Spring Fashion Guide: Mom Must-have Michael Stars Tee

Spring Fashion Guide: Mom Must-have Michael Stars Tee

Every mom, working outside the home or in, needs a fabulous piece that can transition from jeans to dress. Enter Michael Stars. I have been in love with this brand of v-neck shirt since before I became a mom. Now, it makes even more sense for me to be a raving fan!



Michael Stars Shine Short Sleeve Crossover Vee Neck
has become my favorite go-to shirt. I became a fan of this particular shirt while I was pregnant with lil’bit, and I wear it still today. Yes, I wear it now – it did not stretch out! This shirt is adorable with jeans, but you can pair it with a black trouser and be ready for a dinner out, too.

The “shine” in this shirt is slight. Matter of fact, you may not even notice it when paired with denim. But the moment you add it to your evening wardrobe, you see just how fabulous this shirt really is! If you’re anything like me, you may not have a ton of time to get ready for an impromptu dinner with the hub and his colleagues. A little deodorant and a fresh application of makeup … remove sweats or jeans, add black trousers and high heels, put on jewelry, brush hair,  and add handbag and you are good to go!

I mentioned that I wore this shirt while pregnant, but there is also the Michael Stars Maternity Elbow Sleeve Deep Vee, which is pretty dang awesome for pregos! Either way, they are sure to have a little something that you will enjoy adding to your wardrobe.

Spring Fashion Guide: Best Baby Organics Monkey Pants

Spring Fashion Guide: Best Baby Organics Monkey Pants

Springtime is the perfect time for a loose, comfy pant for your little one. Whether they’re crawling or running, you will love these perfect little smooth cotton (formaldehyde-free!) pants for your babe.

The Japanese Monkey Pants from Best Baby Organics are one of the cutest ways I can think of to cover your tot’s tush! These little smiley-bum pants are perfect for play! We pair ours with a simple white organic cotton tee and some cute shoes and get so many “Oh how adorable!” comments. (Of course that could be just about the babe …)

Lil’bit perks up when I say, “Let’s put on our happy bum pants!” She loves to run to the mirror and look over her shoulder at the smiley face across her adorable little tush! As you know, we are big fans/users of the gDiaper, which is a bulkier diaper. The Monkey Pants have plenty of room in the rear, whereas many other pants are snug over them (unless you go up a size).

The Monkey Pants come in a great variety of colors/color-combinations as well as 4-piece sets.

Best Baby Organics provided a pair of Monkey Pants for lil’bit to try our in order for the Hurried Homemaker to do a review. This in no way affected our opinion of this product.
