denizen-revised-logoTrying to squirm and wiggle myself into a pair of jeans after giving birth less than two months ago seems like a daunting task, so when I was offered to try on a pair of dENiZEN® jeans for the Levi’s® brand for review you could understand my hesitaton, but what had left me intrigued was when I had learned that these are not just your typical pair of jeans, but an award coveted pair of jeans, favored by People StyleWatch in the “Best Jeans Under $50” category!

dENizEN is sold exclusively at Target and on Target.com, and are priced at under $30. And knowing that the dENiZEN brand is made by Levi Strauss & Co., there is no question when it comes to the strength, style and durability of these jeans.

I received the new denim collection just in time for the Spring/Summer season: ankle skinny and mid rise skinny for review. When I took them out of the package, I was immediatly impressed with the quality and dark color of the jeans, which gives the illusion of the “skinny”…just what this post pregnancy body needs.

In all honesty, I had never owned, let alone tried on a pair of ankle jeans for the fear of looking like “Steve Erkel”, but to my surprise it was just too cute for words, especially when I had paired it with my new leopard oxford shoes from The Gap, I felt right on trend.

The stretchy material hugged my curves in all the right places and the color for sure gave me the illusion of skinny.

Next up was the mid-rise skinny pair and they felt even better.  Although, it had fit an inch or so below my belly button, to my surprise there was no “muffin top” or visibility of my undergarment when I had bent down. Say no to crack, I like to say.   And again it looked great with my new oxford shoes.  Goes to show that you can rock these jeans with a great heel, flat or even a wedge and you will be on trend.

So I believe that my hunt for the perfect pair of jeans is now over…not only is it affordable, but the fit is great.  I will definitely be wearing them often.

dENIZEN brand jeans are available exclusively at Target. The retail price is $24.99-$27.99 for women, $22.99-$29.99 for men and $17.99-$19.99 for kids, which I feel is very affordable.

When it comes to comfort the dENIZEN jeans are quite comfortable. The material is thin and soft, and not stiff at all like some jeans can be. Now that Spring has arrived, these jeans are great for this type of weather.

So all in all, the verdict is that these jeans are:  breathable, comfortable, sexy and I give it a two thumbs!

I was first introduced to Julep during Blog Her ’12 and then again at Lucky FABB, as was immediately hooked.  When I learned that the products were toxin-free, made it perfect for this pregnant mama not to worry about any harmful chemicals.  So when I inquired about becoming a  Julep VIP Blogger, I was stocked!  As a Julep VIP Blogger I get to offer my faithful readers Julep Giveaways and discount codes!

For review purposes, I received my complimentary Julep box – Classic With A Twist –  filled with two great colors to showcase this fall, Kate and Delaunay, as well as a 2 fl. oz bottle of “The Best Pedi Creme Ever!”

Each box comes with at least two nail polishes (which retail for $14 each) and a little something extra (generally about $40 worth of product). If you don’t want to get a box one month, it’s really easy to skip the month, or if you want to try out a different style one month, it’s easy to do that too!

As you can see,  the shine is incredible and vibrant and goes perfectly with every skin tone.  Even my manicurist loved the shade of color and even after one coat she couldn’t stop raving to her co-workers about how it was easy to put on.

I was just thrilled with my box and need to share the love with you…find out more how to enter this POSH giveaway… View Post

“FILTHY! “DIRTY!” “YUCK, THE CLEAN UP IS SO DIFFICULT!” Did you hear me from all the way over there??? Of course you did, ’cause that’s me fussing time and time again about the clean up about my son’s highchair (brand will remain nameless to protect the innocent).  I am all for him exploring his foods, but when you find peas in the cracks of your highchair and can still smell stained milk embedded in the cushion, even after a thorough cleanup, makes this mom one unhappy camper. But not until my new friends over at Snugli asked me to review their new stylish, chic and easy to clean highchair, I was thrilled and jumped at the chance.

Snugli has launched a new sleek and distinctive line of baby gear from high chairs, infant car seats and strollers. In collaboration with Jennifer DeLonge, a well-known furniture and interior designer, Snugli now has product-lines that are geared towards the modern family and their ever-changing lifestyle. Just a fun side note, Jennifer is married to Tom DeLonge, from the band Blink-182.

I had the opportunity to check out the entire line first hand when Snugli attended the Fashion Forward conference in September.  Super durable, chic, comfy and lightweight are just a few things that I couldn’t stop repeating after testing the products.  Its definitely a must-have item for your ever growing infant.
