Rave and Review

dENiZeN Jeans from Levi’s {w/ Mystery Facebook Coupon}

Anyone who has ever met me knows how much I love jeans.  As a child of the 80s, I have seen my share of bad {ok, make that horrible} fashions, but the one thing that I’m always relieved about when I look back at my pictures?  The fact that I’m wearing jeans 99% of the time. 

While my style has changed quite a bit throughout the years and I’ve had a lot of fashion mistakes, it’s really hard to go wrong with a pair of classic denim jeans.  Laugh all you want, but I do feel some comfort that my 7th grade picture with the permed hair, plaid button up, and scrunchi was paired with Levi’s.  It’s the small comforts, really.

Those same jeans I’ve worn almost my entire life have just gotten a makeover in a big way with the introduction of the new dENiZEN jeans from Levi Strauss & Co.  Found exclusively at Target stores and at Target.com, dENiZen jeans are a reinventing of the classic blues that made Levi’s legendary.  New dENiZEN jeans are available for women, men, and girls and boys, and come in a variety of sizes, washes, cuts, and styles, which means there’s a dENiZEN for every member of your family. 

dENiZEN jeans just launched this summer and are quickly becoming a hot commodity as word spreads about how comfortable, cute, and cheap they are.  Ranging from $17.99 - $29.99, they may look like premium denim but they have a very reasonable price tag that I really appreciate.

I got to try out the dENiZen Women’s Mid-Rise Boot Cut jeans and was immediately impressed with the premium denim look and feel and couldn’t wait to try them on.  Once I tried them on I was really excited with how they felt: just the right amount of stretch and softness without feeling like I was wearing sweatpants.  Another thing I was really excited about?  I gave my measurements for the jeans a few weeks before I received them as I was working off the baby weight and by the time they arrived, I needed a smaller size.  Woo hoo!

Because I live in Target central, I decided to head out and try on the smaller size in store and what I found was that I could actually go down TWO jeans sizes.  While I picked up that smaller size in store because they were so inexpensive {especially with the Facebook coupon I printed}, I still kept the larger size so I could wear them when I just felt like comfort clothes but didn’t want to wear sweatpants.  Win-win. 

I’ve been wearing the jeans for two weeks now and the only thing I noticed that was on the larger size the tag in the back was kind of scratchy.  I think this is mainly because the tag rubbed against my skin because the pants are too loose, but luckily the fix was as easy as grabbing a pair of scissors.  Once the tag was gone, the dENiZEN jeans easily became my most comfortable pants in my closet with no break-in period required.  I love how the Mid-Rise fit and really love the slimming effect, especially in the smaller size jeans.  Needless to say, I will definitely be picking up more as I go down further in jeans sizes.

Want a chance at some FREE dENiZEN jeans?  For a limited time you can visit the dENiZEN Facebook page to get a mystery coupon that could possibly land you a complimentary pair!  Be sure to follow them on Twitter as well for more information and how to purchase!

A big thank you to Team Mom and dENiZEN jeans for sending a complimentary pair of jeans for review.  All opinions are 100% ours and no form of monetary compensation was received in exchange for this Rave Review.

Get Ready for Fall with prAna Clothing and Activewear

Get Out and PLAY Event - Day 33

Outdoorsy is not the first word that comes to mind when people think of me.  Yes, I do love being outside and enjoying nature, but I certainly don’t dress the part.  prAna is a company that was designed with me in mind, because although the clothing and accessories are very much real outdoorsy gear, you would never know it if you looked at them.

Instead of designing for functionality without considering fashion, prAna clothing is truly the best of both worlds.  One quick look at their website and I basically fell in love with nearly everything the company makes.  We’re talking flouncy skirts, flirty tops, heathered hoodies, stylish and edgy jackets, and more that all are begging for a world trip, a weekend away, or even just to wear to a bonfire.

As a Northwest native, I see more than my fair share of outdoorsy clothing each year, but rarely do I find a company like prAna that pulls together mountain retreat attire, travel comfort and sportswear without ever coming across as too casual for everyday wear.  Instead of the standard washed out cotton clothing typically marketed to women in outdoor shops, I was really surprised to find a whole catalogue of clothing that was truly stylish as well as still being functional and comfortable. 

In fact, the prAna website and catalogue looks nothing like an outdoor shop, but rather just looks like a popular women’s clothing catalogue.  The prAna line showcases a wide range of products from a huge variety of styles, and they just so happen to make really awesome outdoor-friendly clothing.  Since I do a lot of traveling in the summer and fall, I love that the prAna styles are perfect for at home or away.  Since most of their styles can either be dressed up or down, I found they are the perfect solution for when your day takes you from babies to meetings and back, and one of the main reasons they are my go-to line when I’m looking for something special for myself. 

Speaking of special things for myself, I was overjoyed when I got to try out the Mandie Hoodie and the Molly Skirt this past season.  I instantly fell in love with each for their simple, go anywhere designs that are as versatile as they are adorable.  I ended up wearing the hoodie and skirt all over Washington and California and I can’t even tell you how many compliments I got on them over the last few weeks.  Whether I was hanging out on an island or two, attending park play dates, biking, or even in business meetings, wearing the prAna clothing was always spot on. 

After trying these two prAna pieces, I am so lusting over their Toni jacket in black {see left}.  It’s a perfect combination of edgy and urban with outdoorsy and fun and I’ve got it on my wishlist this season.  Wouldn't it be absolutely perfect for chilly fall nights around town or weekends away with the family?

As much as I love prAna, what’s really surprising is that my husband and I both can shop there.  While he tends towards the more outdoorsy clothing and gear and I tend towards the urban clothing and accessories, prAna is our common  denominator.  He got to try out a prAna piece this season and he chose the Whiskey short sleeve button down because he loved the little details that made it stand out in his sea of plaid shirts.  It has also made it on numerous vacations with us throughout the summer and it still remains one of his favorite shirts into fall.       

Whether you are athletic and active or urban and chic, you are bound to find numerous items in the prAana line that are perfect for around town or  wherever your travels take you.  Shop prana.com as well as locally where you can take in all their adorable styles and get the perfect look for fall.  BONUS: If you are looking for a great discount on some great prAna clothing, you  can even check out TheClymb.com and see all the great deals going on right now!

Tea Collection Clothing for Back-to-School Cute

I’ve told you before how much I absolutely adore Tea Collection, but their newest line inspired by modern Mexico is just too cute not to share.  Just recently, we got to check out a few of their pieces in person and, as always, we were incredibly impressed with their quality throughout.

The first time I saw Tea Collection clothing, I remember being absolutely blown away by the detail and finishing touches that go into each piece.  They are super soft, durable, and also incredibly adorable.  Now, whenever I am shopping I hold children’s clothing to a much higher standard as I compare them to the clothing my kids have well-loved from the Tea Collection line that still looks as beautiful as it did the day we purchased it.  And, it’s a good thing it’s such high quality stuff because when I’m getting them dressed in the morning, the Tea Collection clothing is the stuff we both gravitate to. 

We all know how cute girl’s clothes are, but when a company also offers the most adorable boy’s clothes I’ve ever seen, you can bet I’ll be a huge fan.  In my daughter’s first 12 months I saved a huge amount of her clothing – it was simply too cute to get rid of as she outgrew it.  In that “special” bin, you will find 6+ pieces from Tea Clothing mixed in which were some of my husband’s and my favorites.  By contrast, my son has a small shoe box full of “special” baby clothing, most of which is Tea Collection.

That is mostly thanks to the adorable Mix and Match Set we got him when he was first born, which were some of the most popular pieces for us to put him in for his first 8 months and we were so sad when we needed to pack up.  Thank goodness we have some new pieces from the new collections to replace them like the Pirata tee, which just might be the cutest top he has ever owned.

We also got the adorable Scribble Hoodie for him (which our daughter ended up stealing and actually looks quite cute on her) as well as a pair of the new Native shoes that are a wonderful cross between laid back tennis shoes and beach wear that our daughter loves.  She's worn them all over this past few weeks and I love that they are light enough to not get in her way, they go with everything, and they are so easy to clean.

If you’re buying for kids and babies and haven’t heard of Tea Collection children's clothing for ages 0-12, you should definitely head over to teacollection.com and oogle over all the adorable-ness. You can also find their collections in specialty and department stores throughout North America and Australia.  Stores include Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue and numerous high-end children's boutiques.  You can also find Tea Collection on Facebook at facebook.com/teacollection.

Bonus: Have you heard of their Refer a Friend program? (scroll all the way down on the homepage and click on the link) It’s an awesome way to get a huge discount off your order… and save your friend some money, too!

This is a MamaBuzz Media review. A gift code was provided by Tea Collection for some great back-to-school and late summer clothing for our kiddos.  All opinions are 100% ours and no form of monetary compensation was received in exchange for this very Rave Review.

Byer California - Fashionable Finds for Spring and Summer

Most kids don’t notice what brand their clothing is – they simply know if it is comfortable or if they like wearing it.  I was definitely one of those kids who just didn’t care at all what brand my clothing was, but yet I still remember that a good portion of my clothes growing up were Byer California or Amy Byer.  In fact, my absolute favorite dress was Amy Byer and I think I wore it every Friday {my favorite day of the week} until I finally grew out of it. 

Just in time for Spring, I was reintroduced to Byer California’s juniors line of clothing and found all the hottest styles trends and looks that I love.  Just as I remembered from my youth, the clothing is still very well made and is fun and stylish.  But, now that I’m doing the buying with my own money, I really love that the styles are also incredibly affordable. 


Their spring/summer offerings are perfect for anything from backyard BBQs to vacations, which makes them a great place to start updating your closet for the approaching warm weather months.  While I don’t hit the town very often or even attend many dressy events, I still love to look nice and stay current, and Byer is the perfect brand to go anywhere or do anything.  Instead of being fussy and too buttoned up, their styles are fun and fashionable while still being functional for my many daily activities.

I got to try out the Beaded Yoke Racerback Dress from BCX, a division of Byer, and was really impressed not only with the way the dress feels and how comfortable it is while wearing, but also the attention to detail.  I particularly love the beaded turquoise collar that has high quality stones sewn right onto the dress, which makes it really stand out on its own or when paired with a cute cardigan sweater {did I mention it’s still COLD here?}

About Byer California: What began with a simple white cotton blouse in 1964 has since grown into one of the leading garment manufacturers in the United States.  Byer California is known for their hip, fresh styles and their ability to reflect what is currently happening in fashion. While other companies plan their lines six months to a year in advance, Byer acts immediately to create modern and on trend looks for young women.  For the young trendsetter, styles include colorful animal prints to princess perfect party dresses, while styles for older chic shoppers range from fitted blazers and to casual floral tops.

As well as being current with fluctuating trends, affordable, and fun, I also love that I can find Byer California at most of the stores that I shop at including Macy’s, Kohl’s, and JCPenney’s {click on links to see current Byer, BCX, IZ Byer, A. Byer and more from each store}.  The fact that I can find it all over near me makes it easy to find fashionable finds to fit my budget, even at the last minute.  And, even better is that with prices ranging from $5 to $50, they truly are pocket-friendly as well as favorites to wear!

A big thank you to Byer for sending a sample to be reviewed.  All opinions are 100% ours and no form of monetary compensation was received in exchange for this Rave Review.

Barely There No Slip Fit Bra Review {w/ Coupon Code}

Sometimes I feel like I’m messing with my clothes all day long, tugging here, pulling here, and fixing straps, bands and more.  Maybe it’s all the crawling around, cuddling, and playing I do each day, or maybe it’s just that clothes aren’t made the way they used to, but whatever the reason, I find myself constantly fixing, smoothing and straightening more often than I would like. 

What’s even worse than fixing clothing all day long is fixing your bra, because it’s virtually impossible to be comfortable when your undergarments are driving you nuts.  Thank goodness Hanes is determined to end the problem of slipping straps once and for all with their new line of Barely There No Slip Fit Bras that have “no-slip grippers” to keep them in place. 

This past month I got to try out the Barely There No Slip Fit Underwire Bra to see if it could hold its own as I moved throughout the day and was very impressed.  To avoid slipping straps, the bra has a unique pattern of small no slip silicone grippers on the bra straps.  Unlike other silicone straps I’ve tried that irritated my skin or gripped too tightly, the small silicone dots are just the right amount of grip without being overdone or uncomfortable. 

As well as the silicone enhanced straps, the Barely Fit No Slip Bra also has this awesome Lycra lining that gives it a slightly “tacky” feel.  While this doesn’t seem like it would do much to keep it in place, it was surprising how comfortable and secure the band felt while I moved.  I’ve never felt anything quite like it and now that I have tried it I wonder why all bras aren’t made with this technology. 

Of course, all of this wouldn’t mean anything if the actual bra itself was uncomfortable, so I was happy to find that it surpassed all of my expectations for fit and feel.  I absolutely love that the bra is really lightweight but still full coverage, is super smooth with seamless molded ultra-light foam cups that have a great stretch to them, and the whole bra has invisible seams and is completely tag free.  Awesome, right?

You can find Hanes’ Barely There® No Slip Fit line at department stores like Kohl’s, JC Penny, and Macy’s.  The bras retail for $32 and they are available in underwire and wirefree styles in a variety of colors and prints.  Find out more at barelythere.com and be sure to like Barely There on Facebook!

And, for a limited time, you can save $5 on a Barely There No Slip Fit™ bra style #4094 or #4905, when you use the coupon code "SHARE5" at http://www.onehanesplace.com/. What a great deal!

NOVICA for Unique Gifts and Jewelry {Review & Giveaway}

I love jewelry.  Rings, necklaces, earrings and more, you name it, I’m a huge fan.  If that jewelry is handmade, I absolutely can’t resist.  For this reason, I adore NOVICA, which is like an online artisan market where you can get the most unique gifts and jewelry anywhere. 

NOVICA works in association with National Geographic, to offer an extensive collection of over 2,000 master artisans around the world and give you one easy place to buy – no traveling required. 

They have a great selection of pieces that you just can’t find anywhere else and I love that each of their pieces comes with their own story and information about its country of origin.  Looking for a hard-to-find item?  Want truly unique gifts?  Novica really has it all and is now my go-to site for those that are impossible to shop for. 

Novica makes it easy to find the perfect gift because of their intuitive search functions.  Instead of it being overwhelming to shop at a site that has so many awesome choices, Novica has really great categories and subcategories, allowing you to sort and find the perfect piece.  Because I was looking for something special for an amethyst lover, I was even able to sort my sterling silver jewelry results by stone type, something that I love.

Once you find a few items you love, you can see the pictures and descriptions as well as the artist profiles listed on each page that give you an idea of who you are buying from.  This feature makes it a truly unique shopping experience and why I could easily spend days shopping and searching.

I finally decided on the Timeless Water Lily a beautiful silver necklace that has a dainty silver charm adorned with amethyst, garnet and moonstone charms and had it shipped to me from Thailand.  It was perfect for my recipient for a variety of reasons, but mostly it won my heart because I knew it was unique enough that it would stand out against the mass-produced necklaces you can get at department stores. 

It arrived surprisingly fast considering the distance it was traveling, and came boxed in a beautiful leaf print paper jewelry box, a presentation which I absolutely adore.  Included in the jewelry box was a card explaining the piece and the story behind it, something I love as it makes it easy to reference later as the compliments pour in. 

If you are looking for handcrafted and unique gifts, décor and more, you should look no further than Novica this spring and summer. And, if you are as excited as I am about NOVICA, you should definitely check out NOVICA Live, a great way to take your shopping experience to a whole new level.  Whether you want to host a party, become a consultant, or merely learn more about their artisan offerings, the Novica Live site is a great resource.

Tea Collection Mix and Match Clothing {Review}

You may remember a few weeks ago when I found Tea Collection and fell in love with their line of baby clothing and separates for kids and women.  Just recently, we were thrilled when we got to check out a few pieces in person and were incredibly impressed with their quality throughout.   

I had told you I would have a hard time picking a favorite, and that definitely rang true as I spent hours trying to find some pieces to review and even ended up consulting my whole family.  While I was originally planning on buying something gorgeous and girly for my little princess, I got sidetracked when I saw their collection of boy's clothing was as adorable as the girl's clothing. 

If you’ve never shopped for little boys, you probably don’t know how rare that is, but it’s something that never, ever happens.  In fact, because the boy’s line was so cute, I ended up buying 7 pieces of Tea Collection clothing for my infant son.  Of course, I then threw in an adorable skirt for my daughter because I couldn’t resist.

For a great deal on clothing for your little one, you should check out the Mix and Match Sets which include multiple coordinated separates in one bundle for a great savings.  We tried out a 6-piece Mix and Match Set in size 6-12 months because we figured it would be a great foundation for a spring wardrobe and we were absolutely correct.  Once it arrived, I realized how cute each of the pieces were and how great they were for coordinating outfits for our little guy. 

What I really loved about the Mix and Match Set is that each piece is adorable on their own, so when you pair them up the result is almost too much to stand.  Once I get a Tea outfit on our 4 month old, the combination is so adorable that even complete strangers feel the need to stop and comment.  Yes, it’s that cute.  Add in a very excited big sister in her new comfortable and go-anywhere Tea skirt in plum and it’s heart melting. 

If you’re buying for kids and babies and haven’t heard of Tea Collection children's clothing for ages 0-12, you should definitely head over to teacollection.com and oogle over all the adorable-ness. You can also find their collections in specialty and department stores throughout North America and Australia.  Stores include Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue and numerous high-end children's boutiques. 

You can also find Tea Collection on Facebook at facebook.com/teacollection.

Kiki's Fashions Maternity Clothing {Review & Giveaway}

When I found out I was pregnant several months ago (it feels longer than the 7.5 months it has been!), I knew my husband and I had some serious discussions to be had about finances.  The thoughts of diapers and baby products came rushing through my mind and I think it was a little scarier for me, because I know the cost of those items.  I have many cousins and friends to thank for giving me this insight as I attended their baby showers and have watched their little ones grow up.  My husband on the other hand, didn’t get hit by things until we were well into planning, preparing and registering for baby.  Needless to say, I can’t wait for him to hold our little girl for the first time to be reassured that she is worth every penny!

As I prepared myself for all of the costs that would be ahead of me in 9 months or so, I hadn’t been aware of the costs along the way to baby’s arrival.  Most of all, I was shocked at the speedy need for maternity clothes and accessories.  Before pregnancy I was a fairly small woman, but that all changed almost instantly, thanks, as I now know, to having gestational diabetes.  I was fortunate to have those family and friends to hand me down the items they had used during their pregnancies… unfortunately none of my friends or family are as short as I am!

I am a bargain shopper by nature.  Some things you can’t stop me from spending time and money on, but clothes have never been one of them, especially with options for paying less for the same brands and items!  So I was very disappointed to find out that my favorite discount stores didn’t carry much maternity clothing.  I resorted to less expensive department stores for clothing but I was not impressed with the styles or the quality I was wearing.  The clothes I was finding weren’t my style and they didn’t make me feel good about myself, which is important when you’ve become “as big as a house” and your body is constantly changing.

Needless to say, when I first learned about Kiki’s Fashions and their huge selection of cheap maternity clothes, I was intrigued.  From searching on their website I learned that this exclusively maternity clothing company might just be right up my alley.  Kiki’s not only had my styles but also a variety; they seemed to have a look for almost every style type.  Excited by the idea of actually liking the style of the clothing I would be wearing for the next few months, I decided to try them out. 

The best part of all was that their clothing was far from breaking my bank account.  Not only was Kiki’s offering reasonably priced maternity clothing, it was more reasonable that most non-maternity clothing.  In fact, I was able to put together some seriously adorable outfits from Kikis Fashions with pants, tops, and sweaters at roughly the cost of one maternity shirt elsewhere! 

Honestly, at these low prices I was a bit skeptical about the quality I would be receiving but was never the less willing to try.  I was thrilled when my short-sleeved maternity sweater tunic arrived that it was very high quality.  The fit was exactly as I would have expected, not larger or smaller like many other maternity lines I had tried.  The material was very good quality and the stitching was errorless!  Had I really just snagged a quality sweater tunic for 18.99?!?  Indeed I had! 

I wore my find to my first baby shower, where I received countless compliments on it, particularly from those friends who had recently had their children.   They commented on how difficult it was to find stylish maternity clothes.  They were shocked and excited (for their next pregnancies) when I told them about the website and the cost of the tunic. 

We all enjoyed the idea that I would also be able to wear this great tunic as a sweater dress even post-pregancy.  I'm a huge fan of clothing you can keep and wear for a long time so I love that Kiki's even has a  whole section designated for "transitional clothing" that you can wear in the early stages of pregnancy, after pregnancy, or when you just feel like wearing something cute, stylish and comfortable!

Now I am looking forward to my next shopping spree with Kiki’s Fashions, especially with the Buy More Save More Sales Event they hve going on right now.  I have 2 more showers to attend and want to be sure to dress to impress for these gatherings also!  I highly recommend you check this website out for yourself or any friends and family who are expecting.

Tea Collection Clothing {$100 Giveaway}

If you’re buying for kids and babies and haven’t heard of Tea Collection clothing and gifts before, you should definitely check them out.  I had seen Tea Collection basics before in local shops and was under the impression that they only offered baby clothing.  Imagine my surprise to find that not only do they have adorable clothing for babies and toddlers, they also make clothing all the way to tween, and even have women’s clothing and accessories!

Picking a favorite item from the Tea Collection is nearly impossible, especially since I have two little ones to dress and they have some of the most adorable clothing for both boys and girls.  As I was searching the site I realized that the clothing was even cuter when I zoomed in on the clothing images and I saw how much detail they had in each print.  Of course, they are also adorable from a distance, too.

Because I really wanted one of everything, I was really excited to see that they also offer “Daily Tea Sets” that are sets of matching or coordinated separates.  These are great because they can take your kid from parties to play and make it incredibly easy to dress your kid adorably each day.  If you haven’t checked out Tea Collection before, you should definitely head over and oogle over all the adorable-ness.
