This onesie is from the Rock and Roll collection.

This one is from the Funny Onesies Collection.

This hot onesie is from the category consisting of items on Sale.

One of my favorite aspects about Boutiki Hut's appliques is that they are hand cut from different types of fabrics. The "I scream" onesie is one of the designs that used vintage fabrics for the applique. I think that using vintage fabrics is a brilliant idea and makes for an original piece that will definitely ensure that onesie a spot in baby's keepsake box.

Boutiki Hut also applies their original designs to other childrens clothing and shoes for a look that will be sure to delight your little ones. In addition to clothing Boutiki Hut also creates beautiful wall art. The wall art is a smattering of eclectic style with handrawn art, vintage childrens books, buttons, etc... to make each hanging work of art special and unique. I have not seen this eye-catching style used by anyone else and it will really brighten up any children's bedroom or playroom. Below is one of my favorites.

Right now Boutiki Hut is trying to move out all of their decorated clothing items and the prices are rock bottom! Now's your chance to get all this great stuff at amazing prices. But don't worry they also have a sister shop on Etsy, Erin Jade, where you can find more great clothing and accessories.

All of the items that Boutiki Hut offers would be great for gift giving to any child. To see everything that they have to offer you will have to go visit their Etsy shop because there are just simply too many different styles, techniques and designs to mention them all here in this post.


Boutiki Hut is offering one lucky Pretty Pink Momma reader a $15 gift certificate and free shipping on their order!

Here's How to Win: Visit Boutiki Hut and comment back on this post what you would spend your $15 gift certificate on. This giveaway is open to all.

I love all of the super hot baby boutique items being offered these days. Right now one of the hottest trends in baby clothing and accessories is minky or chenile fabrics paired with designer prints to create simply adorable, can't live without, soft bibs, blankets, burp cloths and more. I aspire to be a fantastic seamstress one day, but right now I will have to settle with my simplistic skill set. In order to satisfy my hunger for beautifully hand made boutique baby items I have discovered Love Me Baby Boutique on Etsy.

Love Me Baby Boutique has a wonderful assortment of trendy and chic children's clothes, tutus, bibs, burp cloths, blankets and more. The pattern choices and styles of the clothing created by Love Me Baby Boutique are very stylish and a must have for any sassy little girl. The unique designs are so cute that it makes me wish even more than I usually do that I had a little girl to dress up. Below are a couple of my favorite designs that Love Me Baby Boutique has to offer. All clothing listed by Love Me Baby Boutique is offered in size newborn to 4T.

This super cute combo is fresh for spring and summer. I love the color cooridination and the huge flower on the kimono top. Paired with these matching capris, your little one will look so sweet and stay cool.













I bet that you think that there are two dresses featured above, you are wrong! This is actually an awesome reversable dress. If your little gal gets something on her dress just flip it inside out and voila! A new outfit! This dress has ribbon ties on the shoulders but could also be made with snaps or buttons for a custom fit. I thought that this dress was really a genious idea, especially if you have a little one with a tendency to spill things on her clothes, or like my kids who like to use their clothes as napkins!

I am also really loving the fantastic bibs, burpcloths and blankies that Love Me Baby Boutique has to offer. These would make such great shower gifts for any mom to be. Any mom would love the chic designs and super soft fabric that these boutique quality accessories are made out of. Below are some of my top picks.

This awesome bib is backed with super soft chenile and costs only $8!

Here is an example of one the minky and flannel blankets available for only $30.

What a great gift set! Shown is two burp cloths and one bib in a matching set for only $20.

I don't know about you but I am definitely one of those chicks that won't leave the house without any makeup on. I am just too embarrased to show my face without it. I used to even get all dolled up just to walk my son to the bus stop in the morning. That was until I came to my senses and decided it just wasn't worth the time and energy to get makeup on just to stand at the bus stop with two maybe three other moms that aren't wearing any makeup either. Aside from this one exception, I always wear makeup. With that being said, my very favorite - can't live without makeup is a mineral makeup.

I love mineral makeup! You can put it on in so many different ways. You can blend until you achieve the exact look that you are going for. You can even add water to it to change the consistency and application of it. I love mineral makeup because it is a multi-tasking product, and I am a multi-tasking momma. I was thrilled when Mineral Secrets contacted me and asked me to review their Multi Task Mineral Starter Kit.

The Multi Task Mineral Starter Kit came with two trial sized options from the Ultra Sensitive Loose Mineral Foundation collection, in the shades of Sugar Cookie and Sand. Also included was a trial sized Ultra Sensitive Multi Task eye shadow, in Sunset. This not what I would call a complete intro to mineral makeup but it does work as dabbler. What I mean is that with this set you could not expect to complete your whole face but you can get an idea of how Mineral Secrets works and if you like the feel of it. Plus it also comes with a great Mini Kabuki brush. I love this Kabuki brush, it does not shed like the one I normally use does. For an idea of what to choose to complete your face, not including your eyes, I would go with the 6 Piece Starter Kit at $55.95 for the full effect or the 4 Piece Mineral Starter Kit at $39.95 for the basics.

The Ultra Sensitive Multi Task came in with Sunset as the color option. I really like this soft pink color. When they say multi-task they mean it! I tried it in several ways. The first was as an eye shadow. I did not like it as a stand alone shadow because with my skin tone it just seemed to redish. I did try it mixed with one of my other crushed mineral eye shadows and it blended great. I then tried wetting a lip brush and dipping it into the jar. I applied the minerals directly to my lips. When it was dry a minute later I put on a nice clear gloss. I really liked this idea and how it stayed well on my lips. I never would have thought to use the makeup that way but it really worked! I also tried it as a blush. For me it was hard to tell because I have naturally rosy cheeks and I didn't want to apply too much. It would probably work great for someone with a lighter skin tone than I have. The last thing that I did with the Ultra Sensitive Multi Task was to dip my clear nail polish brush into the jar and apply it to my toes! I loved this idea! I put a nice coat of the polish/mineral combo and it looked great! You can adjust how bright or how muted you want it to come out by adding a little or a lot to the brush.

At the end of the day the makeup held up really well. I was impressed with how it felt and its overall appearance. It was a pretty close match to my skin tone and worked well with my skin. There were no crease lines either, which is always a plus! Mineral Secrets works great with all skin types and is completely free of perfumes, parabens, fillers, dyes, and is never tested on animals.

All in all I think that if you are looking to try out mineral makeup Mineral Secrets is a great option. They have a lot of reasonably priced packages to choose from so you are not spending a ton of money. It does take a bit of time to get used to using mineral makeup but once you get used to it you will be hooked! I will never use anything else. I love all the great brushes for maximum application results too. These brushes are very reasonably priced in comparison to what I have been using.

Not to mention the Mineral Secrets website is easy to check out even if you are not familiar with the makeup. The categories are all on the left side and each has a drop down menu for even easier searching. Once you click on an item you are taken to its page where in the center you will find a description of the product, ingredients and instructions for use. Also on the lower left there are reccomendations for other products on the site that compliment what you are looking at. Did I also mention that if you are a little confused about which tones to pick or what would work best for your skin you have the option to call a toll free number and speak with a licensed esthetician? How fantastic! It is nice to know that if you buy something new and you have never tried it before that Mineral Secrets provides its customers with tons of tools to ensure that you are satisfied with your purchase. Especially with mineral makeup understanding the application is the key.

If you are interested in trying mineral makeup and want to give Mineral Secrets a try go check them out today!

Even though I don't have any darling girls of my very own, I am so in love with all of the crazy cute boutique style hair clips. I just think that they are so darling! For now I will have to settle with getting my fix when I see my friends daughters or my neice. I have become so fascinated with them that I am really into checking out all the different designs and styles that I can find. My search has recently led me to discover 1 Pixie Place on Etsy.

1 Pixie Place has some of the cutest designs for hair pins. This mom owned Etsy shop knows just what little girls like and designs each piece with her own two little pixies in mind. These boutique clips and snaps, appropriately called Pixie Pins, are so adorable and affordable. The little girl in your life can look dazzling without breaking the bank. Below are some of my favorites styles from the Pixie Pin collection. Unbelieveably most sets are under $5!

Not only does 1 Pixie Place offer stylish hair pins but they also have pendants, keychains and beaded dragonfly charms that can hang from a necklace, keychain or cell phone strap. All of these items are really simple and cute. These would make great gifts for any girl from small to big. Pictured below is my favorite pendant that 1 Pixie Place offers. All pendants in this shop are only $5 and hang from a 16" silver plated ball chain.

Unfortunately they are being discontinued, but all of these items are discounted for a quick sale. In addition to the all ready low prices 1 Pixie Place is offering a 30% discount on all of the Aloha items upon ordering. Here is an example of some onesies from the Aloha collection:

I don't think I can even think of a single girl in my lifetime that I have ever known that did not want or have the Easy Bake Oven by Hasbro. I was one of the unfortunate little girls that never got to have one of my very own. Even worse, none of my friends had one either so I never even got the pleasure of trying one out! Yes, its true, I was robbed of one of the best toy experiences known to little girls everywhere. The funny thing is that even though I am a grown woman it still burns me to this day that I didn't have an Easy Bake Oven. I think that this probably rings true with so many others like myself.

No matter what woman you mention it to we all have the same bitterness towards our parents to this day that we did not get our beloved Easy Bake Oven. Those of us who never got an Easy Bake Oven of our own would most certainly purchase one for our daughters. Unless of course you are like me, and you are only blessed with sons. Obviously my sons would love the Easy Bake Oven too, but trying to convince my husband to buy them one is an entirely different story! He freaked out at the hunter green and tan pretend kitchen they got for Christmas last year from my parents. It has sat in the garage so they have limited play time with it - just to ensure that they won't have too much time to spend playing with it. I guess that I just will have to face the facts that they will never get the chance to become the Easy Bake Oven "Baker of the Year".

During the EASY-BAKE 2009 “Baker of the Year” finals, contestants will once again be judged on creative use of ingredients, presentation, ease of preparation, and taste. The grand prize winning pair in the EASY-BAKE 2009 "Baker of the Year" contest will receive a culinary-inspired trip for four to San Francisco, CA, where the group will visit local food-related sites and attractions. The six runners-up will each receive a $500 VISA gift card and a one-year supply of EASY-BAKE Brand mixes. All finalists will have their recipe and a photo of their creation appear on the EASY-BAKE website.

And just for those of you that are alien, and from another planet, and have no idea what an Easy Bake Oven is here is a current picture and all the info about it.



EASY-BAKE Oven & Snack Center
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $24.99/Available: Spring 09)
The beloved EASY-BAKE Oven & Snack Center is back in its original aqua color. The classic side-loading oven that bakes with a light bulb returns to let bakers-in-the-making whip up tasty snacks for friends and family, including cakes, brownies, cookies, and much more. The oven comes with three different mixes, two baking pans, two utensils, a pan pusher, two warming cups and recipes/instructions. One 100-watt standard light bulb is required but not included. The Easy Bake Oven and Easy Bake Mixes are available at most major toy retailers nationwide, on HasbroToyShop.com and EasyBake.com. Don't forget to visit both of these sites for amazing downloadable recipes and the option to create your very own recipe book!

In honor of the seven finalists for the Easy Bake 2009 "Baker of the Year" contest, Hasbro is offering one very lucky Pretty Pink Momma reader the chance to win their very own Easy Bake Oven!

Here's How: Visit either HasbroToyShop.com or EasyBake.com and comment back here what your favorite Easy Bake Mix or recipe is. I want to know what you would create in your very own Easy Bake Oven. Open to US and Canada only.

Lastrose has some of the most beautifully hand knit and crocheted sweaters that I have seen. The quality of work just shines through in the amazing pictures that are on display in the Lastrose Etsy shop. It is hard to believe that these wonderful peices are not store bought! What I would give for this kind of talent! Below are some of my very favorites that Lastrose has to offer.


This sweater, from the Phat Baby Designs collection, is perfect for a baby girl! The perfect size for a three month old bundle of joy. This is knit in an attractive ribbed pattern and features a glitzy, black, faceted one-button closure. I love the awesome details that are put in to this sweater like the crocheted flowers and the hot pink trim at the bottom. This gorgeous sweater is only a mere $12!

I love the music of the nineties! Right Said Fred with "I'm Too Sexy" is one of the funniest one hit wonders to come out of that decade. I just love the part where a grown man says he's gonna shake his "little tush on the catwalk". Hil. Lar. Ious.

I never really checked out other songs by Right Said Fred, but I now know why they were just a one hit wonder after watching a few videos like this one:

Congratulations to my good bloggy friend Modern Mom! She has been randomly chosen as comment 2 out of 44 entries! She will get her favorite pick of notecards from Atomic Rabbit Cards and Prints! Thanks to all that entered this great giveaway!

Its Five Thing Friday time again! This is where I like to share five random things about myself or my crazy life with all of you! Hopefully you will get to know me a little bit better. I invite you to play along and share five random things about yourself with me. Just grab the button on my side bar or copy the image from above. Make sure to leave a comment if you play along so that I can go and check out your post!

1. I hate vinegar. I think it smells nasty. However, I do like Italian salad dressing. Go figure!

2. I have had the same netflix movie by my DVD player for the last three months. I keep meaning to watch it but I never seem to find the time. I guess I am too busy watching my favorite VH1 shows. In case your wondering, it is Definitely Maybe. Anyone seen it?

3. I love getting my hair done! I know, who doesn't right? I am so lucky that one of my closest friends is one of those high charging hairstylists. She normally charges $150 or more for a cut, partial foil and style. I only pay whatever I can. Sometimes I dont pay her at all and just help her out with her personal stuff, which I would do anyways. I dont get the salon treatment though because it is usually done at my BF's house. So I have to wash my own hair, but whatever, the end result is still awesome! Plus she knows if its not awesome, I'll kill her.

4. Little Benji has some developmental issues. He needs speech therapy a few times a week. He also is a little awkward socially. He just doesn't pick up on social cues like everyone else does. He is kind of the person that gets into your personal bubble if you know what I mean. He goes to a developmental preschool to help him with these issues. Its awesome for him and for me because its State funded and inside the same school that Oscar goes to. It is so nice to not have to worry about paying for Preschool.

5. I actally tasted some baby food the other day for the first time. I know it sounds weird considering that I have three kids but I think that it looks gross. It actually didn't taste that bad. I probably won't try it again just because I still think that it looks pretty gross. I know that it is just pureed food but I would have a hard time eating it even it was whole.


That wraps up my Five Thing Friday! To check out past Five Thing Fridays click here.

I also love the oceanic inspired wire wrapped sea glass pendants in the Oceanside Treasures Collection. I think that these are so pretty. My favorite one from the collection is below.
