See What’s Trending In Fashion This Fall-#FrontRow

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!

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.

Schoola Helps Schools In Need When You Buy or Donate Kid’s Clothes!!! #clothes4schools

Are you back to school shopping for your children? Maybe going through clothing they have outgrown, wondering what to do with it all? If you are, you may be interested to know how Schoola can help you and your child’s school. Schoola is an online shop dedicated to recycling brand-name children’s clothing, with 40% of the proceeds going to schools in need. The innovative new program – which saves parents money and gives back at the same time – has been heralded by Fox News, the LA Times, Forbes and Parenting Magazine.

Mommy Ramblings was selected to participate in a special campaign called “20 Days of Schoola” Adopt-a-School. Mommy Ramblings was given of choice of 3 deserving schools and it was hard to choose, but we selected a small school in the Bronx called KIPP Academy. KIPP Academy has a goal to raise $25,000 to fund a music program. KIPP Academy works hard to support kids who need all the help they can get. Ninety-five percent of its students qualify for free or reduced-cost lunch. More than one in seven receives special education services. Music helps KIPP Academy reach and engage every child who enters its doors. The slogan on the Music Room wall sets the stage—All of Us Will Learn Music. No matter what backgrounds they come from or what challenges they face, they learn lessons together that will serve them the rest of their lives.For more about Kipp Academy and how Schoola helps schools in need watch the video below.

I was blessed growing up to be able to go to a school that had the funding to offer all kinds of great in school and after school programs for students. Sadly many schools today cannot offer as much to students and so students are denied the opportunity to participate in art, music and sports programs that can stimulate and nurture natural or learned talent.

My older children were also able to participate in programs like I was and their school years were enriched with music lessons, great art programs, sports programs, extra curricular programs and more. My younger children who are just entering school are also able to do the same, but many schools have been impacted by lack of funding and have had to cut programs like music, art and sports.

You Can Help

You can shop on Schoola for back-to-school clothing, even clothing new with tags and for every transaction that is processed by going through this link, Schoola will donate $1 to KIPP Academy. That’s not all, everyone that requests a donation bag through the same link will help too because Schoola will donate $1 for every requested bag to Kipp Academy. Perhaps the best part is, if you send in a donation bag of clothing, you can fill out the name of a school you support and for every $5 in sales, Schoola will donate $2 to the school you selected!!! That’s a real win-win for Kipp Academy and the school of your choice!!! You can follow Schoola on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date on all the latest happenings.

This post is brought to you by Schoola, the best place to buy discounted kids clothes all while give back to schools in need.Click here to learn more about Schoola.Click here to see what people are saying.

Corolle Mon Classique Lila Chérie Baby Doll and Fashion Clothing Review & Giveaway!!!

I want to introduce you to a cute and cuddly sweet baby girl named Lila Chérie. She is 17 inches long and has a soft, stuffed cloth body and soft vinyl 3/4 legs and arms. Her smooth, soft vinyl skin has a delicate vanilla scent that is a signature of Corolle dolls.

She is an interactive doll that laughs, cries, coos and sucks on her bottle or pacifier. When she cries her cheeks blush red, but not to worry, a pacifier or bottle soon has her content. She has eyes that close when she is laid down. She comes with a pink and white terry cloth bib, bottle and pacifier.

On her hand there are two white hearts, squeeze once and she babbles and coos, another squeeze and she is crying and her cheeks are turning red. Her crying can be stopped by offering the bottle or pacifier which she will suck on and soothe with. Touch her tummy and she giggles and if you lay her on her tummy she cries. There is a button on the battery compartment that will allow you to turn her on and off and she requires 3 AAA batteries. If you are in the market for a cuddly baby doll that is interactive with realistic sounds, you should check out Corolle’s Mon Classique Lila Chérie. Doll is suitable for ages 3 and up.

Ideal Baby Doll for Creative Pretend Play

Nui Organics, Kid’s Clothing Review & $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!!!

nui organics

Kids want to be comfortable in their clothes. Naturally, active kids want to be able to twist, turn, wiggle and jump without feeling constricted.

Nui Organics loves producing quality clothing for children using only the world’s purest merino wools and cottons. No harsh chemicals for our children, or our planet. Everything is manufactured in a socially and environmentally responsible way.

I recently had the chance to try some of Nui Organics clothing with my son. I chose the Kavi Shorts in ocean stripe and the Vic, 3/4 Sleeve Top in ocean whale.

My son loved them and immediately started jumping around because they were so comfy and that worked to my disadvantage when trying to snap a picture of him with the outfit.

It did show me that they are an excellent children’s clothing choice that feels great and looks great and to kids, comfort trumps most anything. Lots of easy to mix and match pieces are available for boys and girls.

Tea Collection Boys Clothing Line Review!!!

The Tea Collection recently sent me out some pieces from their boys clothing line. I was beyond thrilled to be selected to review these pieces. Luke modeled the size 3 (a bit big on my peanut) Escarabat graphic tee which is available in sizes sm (6-12mo) to 7 yrs. The tee has a retail price of $19.00. It is a super comfy, 100% cotton, in a gravel color.

Then we paired that with the El Born Tile Print Shirt available in sizes sm(6-12m) to 11/12 years. Barcelona’s tiny El Born district is characterized by narrow waterfront streets. It’s medieval, artsy and hip all at once. This shirt will definitely be coming along on our vacation. The shirt is 100% cotton and super comfy. The retail price on this shirt is $35.00.

Ethan is wearing a size 5 (also a tad large but perfect for this Fall) Boardwalk Hooded Sweater available in sizes Sm (6-12mo) to 11/12 yrs. It’s Picasso in casual beach mode with color blocking and stripes. The perfect pullover for breezy afternoons and cool nights. This sweater is 100% Pima Cotton and super cozy and soft. This sweater retails for $59.00.

You can view the entire Tea clothing line for girls and boys. You will be sure to find some cute, comfy, stylish clothing for the little ones in your life.
