Fashion Week is such an exciting time! I am thrilled to be attending Macy’s Fashion Front Row next Saturday, September 26th at 2 pm. Macy’s is getting set to throw the she shopping party of the season complete with the hottest looks from popular designers. Following the fabulous presentation, the pros are sticking around to dispense style advice.  We can even get an expert mini makeover to get look and feel our best as we go forward into Fall!

Macy's Front Row

I cannot wait to see all the new trends and throwbacks for this season. I am really loving the ponchos that are hot again. They are a real blast from my past and I think they are perfect for Fall!  I also like the Western Bootie and the East West Bag. I also am a huge fan of some of the Peasant collection pieces, especially the blouse.

ChicoBag, Hobo rePete Purple Potion Bag Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

Chicobag logo

Do you remember the expression, “Dynamite Comes In Small Packages”?  I do, a boy I went to elementary school who was shorter than most at the time would constantly say that.  He had great self-confidence but he was right, you can have something fantastic packed in a small package.  That reminds me of the Hobo rePETe bag from ChicoBag.

Hobo-Purple-Passion-ChicoBag

chicoBag-Hobo-Purple-1

Hobo-Purple Passion-ChicoBag-2

The Hobo is an expandable carry all that can be worn as a stylish hobo-style bag or just kept to use if you have some impromptu purchases, so great for traveling.  The bag features a large  zippered main compartment, interior zipper pocket, front slip pocket for added organization and storage and a tie together strap that allows for a custom fit and adds a feminine touch. The interior pocket doubles as a pouch for the entire bag, making it perfect for travel. Made of recycled materials and finished with a subtle, heat embossed pattern. The Hobo was designed for the eco-chic adventurista on a mission to tread lightly on the planet, while looking good.

This bag is so wonderful to use every day or to pack when traveling. If you are like me, you probably come back with more than you went with and to have a bag like this for those items is such a convenience. The bag is very well constructed to use as an everyday purse or tote and will stand up to the use with quality workmanship and components.  This bag makes a great gift and even fits perfectly in a stocking!

ChicoBag is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!  One lucky winner will win a Purple Potion Hobo rePETe Bag!  Thank you to ChicoBag for the review product and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

ChicoBag, Nomad Tote In Brittany Blue Review & Giveaway!!! #HolidayGiftGuide

ChicoBag_LOGO_Bubble

Are you traveling this holiday season?  If you are and you have kids, you know for sure you will have a lot to pack.  Have you ever been on a vacation where you discover you need to buy extra luggage or bags to cart all the souvenirs or hauls from shopping you did while there?  I know because this happens to me all the time!  Wouldn’t it be nice to be prepared for that?

The Nomad Tote is such a great life saver for times like that because it can be stored so compactly in its own storage bag when not needed and takes up no room at all.  They’re great to have in the car, in your purse, to pack with you on trips and will act as a safety net.  Forget your beach bag?  Not a problem, with the Nomad, it’s there in a flash to hold everything you need.  It’s also machine washable so you don’t have to stress about a little dirt which is inevitable with kids.  Whether you pack it full for a weekend getaway, a trip to the gym, an outing at the farmer’s market or just pack it compactly for just-in-case, the Nomad Tote will not let you down!

Nomad Tote Brittany Blue

 

This large bag fits comfortably over your shoulder and has 3 exterior pockets and an interior zippered pocket.  Mommy Ramblings thinks the Nomad Tote makes a great gift this holiday season so we are adding it to our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.

Holiday Travel Essential Package For Baby Giveaway With Tortle & 2 Red Hens Diaper Bag!!!

TortleLogo_TM
Did you know that 1 out of 2 babies develop flat head syndrome and that it is totally preventable?  A pediatrician developed a product called Tortle,  this lightweight baby beanie can prevent flat head and even treat babies who have developed flat head.  Target.com will carry three Tortle designs; Blue Elephant, Pink Flowers and Solid White.  The Tortle beanies are available in medium and large sizes at a suggested retail price of $19.99.  You can follow Tortle on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to stay up to date with all the latest product news.

Developed by Dr. Jane Scott, a Board Certified Pediatrician and Neonatologist, the Tortle beanie is an FDA-cleared patented Class 1 medical device that promotes proper head and neck movement which is essential for appropriate development.  Tortle helps prevent and treat early stages of flat head syndrome: plagiocephaly (the flattening of the baby’s skull) & torticollis (unbalanced neck muscles). Tortle works by gently deflecting a baby’s head from side to side when they are sitting or lying on the back of their head.  The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends regular head repositioning of babies younger than six months.

Baby_2b

The incidence of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis (or Flathead syndrome) has increased to epidemic proportions since 1992 with more than a million babies being diagnosed with the condition each year in the U.S. alone.  This is due to their lack of movement and the amount of time infants spend on their back (the safest place for them to be).  If left untreated, there can be long-standing problems.  Treatment is frequently expensive and can be somewhat uncomfortable for a baby.  Plagiocephaly and Torticollis are almost 100% preventable with repositioning and Tortle makes this safe and easy.  It is recommended that all newborns wear a Tortle for the first 6 months of life to support healthy development.

 Dr. Scott, whose specialty is Pediatrics and Neonatology, is recognized as an expert in the areas of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis.  In her nearly 30 years as a practicing physician, Dr. Scott has counseled and educated hundreds of parents to help prevent as well as treat the many problems associated with Flathead Syndrome.  Dr. Jane’s mission is to prevent Flathead Syndrome-an epidemic affecting the babies across the world.

This Mom is Going to Snap!!!

The button on my camera, that is.  What did you think this was going to be about?  Me losing my mind?  Not yet, thankfully.  I think most of you know I have a passion for photography.  I am rarely seen without my camera around my neck, even when out fitness walking long distance.  I get very upset if I see a great shot and do not have my camera, so I tend to keep it in arms reach.

As most photographers will tell you, we have a good deal of money invested in our cameras, lenses and gear, so we need a good bag for travel that will keep everything safe.  Can we dare to be stylish as well?  Why, yes we can!  I am excited to say that I have a special offer for my blog readers.

TheJoyBag.com and I have teamed up to bring you all a special discount code for 10% off their collection of camera bags.  Visit the site and take a look at all the great products and take advantage of the additional savings if you find something great with the code CARLY10.  Happy shopping and of course happy snapping.
