Dressing Down for the Holidays with Tea Collection

tea collection logoDressing up the kids for the holidays always seems so daunting. Finding the perfect dress or dressy sweater (that won’t be worn again) and the perfect shoes (that won’t be worn again) and the right shade tights (that never stay up) and then making sure everything fits; it’s just too much work. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve done it before but sometimes I want the kids to wear
Children’s Clothes that look like children’s clothes and be comfortable AND still look great. Tea Collection puts out some of the most unique clothing and accessories for children. Inspiration for the colorful and sometimes funky choices is derived from the designer’s worldwide travels.

Tea Collection offered me a great opportunity to review some outfits just for this reason. I selected one of their Girl’s Wardrobe Sets ; A is for Awesome, which included 2 tunics/dresses, 1 pair of leggings and 1 pair of bootcut leggings. The colors pulled me in first. The reds are festive but the purples and oranges tones it down for everyday wear. A simple sparkly headband and pair of elegant shoes can dress-up these outfits in a second. Shae’s outfits come from the Mercado Mexicano collection. The folk art bird on Shae’s dress can be found throughout Mexico at festivals, markets and as body art. Using the natural surroundings as a muse creates their pairings of color and pattern.

Each outfit has been put through a wearing and 2 washings and the materials are still soft and easy to wear. This is important to me as there is NO way I want to monitor labels or pull out an iron for a trip to the grocery store. Tea Collection focuses on what is important; practicality, color and look. I’m hoping to add more Tea Collection to Shae’s wardrobe; these clothes are a natural fit to her easy-going but girly personality.

Lonesome George Needs Your Help

In a former or next life my career path will be very different. I want to travel the world and explore species of animals that few people ever see. Lonesome George is one of them. He’s a 100 year old Pinta tortoise from the Galapagos Islands that may be the last of his species.
Lonesome George has become the icon for world conservationists and ecological educators. Lonesome George is also the name of a clothing and accessories collection designed to inspire people to respect and embrace the world we have. Wearing Lonesome George & Co Impact Apparel makes a statement to those around you that you care and want to be part of the change for good.

Sabreena received the 1930 Element tee that features Lonesome George himself as well as a message asking for help. She’s chosen the right career path; Environmental Engineering. She wants to do something good for the world; she’s on the right track already. The tee is soft, thick, cut large and long and expected to last a long time.

Created using organic Peruvian Pima cotton each tee, hoodie and tote helps support the efforts to bring back the Galapagos Islands where it should be. This oasis and home to many unique species of animals is under attack by commercial fishing, tourism and introduced species. The money raised with the sale of Lonesome George products goes directly to programs to prevent more loss.

Not just Celebs Shop The Children’s Place plus Giveaway

The fall is here and that means it’s time to break out sweaters, scarves and closed toe shoes; just the things to keep the chill away. Shae is a hat fanatic and when I saw The Children’s Place Owl hat I knew I had to get it.

They have a whole collection of fun knit animal hats and animal graphic tees for boys. Attached you’ll see the LA pre-Emmy’s event where stars from every level were picking up their favorites.

Melissa McCarthy (Mike and Molly)

Aidan Quinn from Desperately Seeking Susan and Prime Suspect

You don’t have to be a celebrity to shop The Children’s Place though; their prices are great for everyone. Each year we do Shaun’s back to school shopping and stock up on basics for Shae. Even when Sabreena was little the majority of her clothing came from Children’s Place.  Growing up I remember shopping at The Gallery in Center City Philadelphia and The Children’s Place had a slide and climber to keep the kids occupied as parents shopped.

Don’t forget! The Children’s Place has kids and baby costumes too.

Frankenstein can be cute

Get your own Children’s Place gear here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! A reader will will win a critter hat or graphic tee of their choice (based on availability). Let me know if you’ve purchased Children’s Place clothing and accessories in the past.

Lands’ End Does Polo’s Right

I work in an office where I need cloths that look really nice but they don’t have to be to dressy like a shirt and tie because thankfully I am in a business casual setting where dress shirts with no tie and polo shirts are acceptable to wear with dress pants or kakis.

I recently had the opportunity to review the Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo and I am very happy with the polo shirt that I received. First thing that I noticed and was very happy about was that they offer tall sizes for guys like me who are over the six foot mark. Buying a 2XL tall makes all of the difference in the world and I don’t have to worry about the shirt shrinking because I bought just a regular 2XL. Another thing that I like about the Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo is they offer approximately 20 different colors from rich red to ice pink so there is a color to match everyone’s taste. I typically wear white or blue shirts but this time I stepped out of the box and got the light jade polo which looks really nice with black dress pants.

The Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo is definitely one of those Father’s Day gifts that any dad would love to receive. The polo’s are quality with a no-curl collar and strong buttons that won’t just fall off when buttoning. Finding good polo’s that will last at an affordable price is pretty hard but Land’s End makes it possible.

Want to win a Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo of your own? All you need to do is tell me why you would like to win a Lands’ End polo.

Dressing Up | Giveaway WSRW Blog Party

Whether it’s a LBD or a sophisticated wrap-around Shabby Apple has you covered with its eclectic collection of women’s dresses. Shabby Apple returns to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything…no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).

shabby apple logo

I’ve been scoping out Shabby Apple for over a year now. I’ve feel in love over and over with so many dresses but always chicken out at the last minute over which one to get. I love dresses but my body is weird, I’m a bigger girl with large boobs, long torso but short legs. Dresses hit me at a weird spot on my legs and tend to be shorter in the back, probably due to my butt. I tend to steer clear of dresses just to avoid frustration. Shabby Apple has come up with solutions for trouble body areas by dressing you by your body shape.
Shop by

  • HOURGLASS
  • APPLE
  • PEAR
  • PENCIL
  • ATHLETIC
  • WOMANLY
  • TALL
  • SHORT

Just a couple short questions and you are brought to the best selections for your shape. I’m a womanly apple; not a category they have but one I think that would best suit me. I haven’t yet picked out my ideal dress yet, I have commitment issues. But these are the couple that I truly love the look of even if they aren’t the right fit for me.

penelope and odysseus - golden gate collection

el mar - baja collection

champs elysees - oh la la collection

The Shabby Apple designers are independent artists. Their designs are submitted and if approved collections are created from their ideas, drawings and sketchings. Doing this I believe keeps the selection fresh, modern and inviting for women coming from all different backgrounds and demographics. The 20-something can shop along-side the middle-age corporate exec and they will each find a style that suits their lifestyle without compromising taste.

With the addition of active wear, swimwear, skirts and accessories you only need to make a couple more stops to complete your wardrobe.

Win a Shabby Apple dress of your choice from one of the following collections” Roamin Holiday, South Pacific, The Berksires, Yosemite, Oh La La, Central Park, Carousel, Baja, All That Jazz and 1943. Let me know which 2 dresses from these collections are your favorites.

Look 5lbs Lighter | Giveaway WSRW Blog Party


Like lingerie only better, Yummie Tummie is a slimming shaping garment that can be worn but doesn’t need to be hidden like tradition shapewear.

Unlike most shapewear that compress your bust and roll up, the Yummie Tummies’ cotton bust and hip panels appear to the outsider as a normal tank top; meanwhile the secret midsection panel is smoothing and shaping your middle, eliminating approximately five pounds off your appearance.

I wear tanks under almost everything. It gives a buffer against itchy sweaters, cleavage control with button downs and warmth under sweats and long sleeve tees. The Yummie Tummie does all of these along with some smoothing of the bumps and rolls. I have a drawer full of traditional super tight suction action shapewear that I love but they aren’t for everyday. The Yummie Tummie Skinny Tank has been a part of my wardrobe for about 2 weeks and I love it. I know I need to order more because I always grab it before any other tanks in my drawer. It doesn’t transform me into a svelte sexy beast but it does give a smoother look without the uncomfortable binding and rolling of other garments.

There are more than just tanks to choose from too! Yummie Tummie carries shaping lingerie, camis, tees and dresses. They’ve recently introduced a collection of Men’s Shapewear using the same hidden slimming panel. The smoothing is on the inside with a top layer of stretch cotton and no visible seams on the outside. This new Yummie basic will give you all of the versatility your wardrobe requires with a chic and sleek, show it off look!

Win a Yummie Tummie Tank for yourself from LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too!. Visit Yummie Tummie and tell me which garment would be best for you.

Old Navy’s IN STORE Kids & Baby Sale + $25 GC Giveaway

Who doesn’t love sales?  Better yet who doesn’t love sales that involve clothes?  If you are one of those people then you need to be sure to check out Old Navy’s IN STORE Kids & Baby sale where items will start at only $5 from February 4th until February 17th.

I am particularly excited about Old Navy’s upcoming Kids and Baby sale as we have a friend whose baby shower is next month and I expect Melinda to go crazy.  With items starting at $5 we’ll be certain to get a bigger bang for our buck.  I can remember when Shaun and  Shae were babies and going to Old Navy to get super cute clothing and cute pj’s.

I’m going to be honest and tell you I really like Old Navy and Melinda LOVES Old Navy.  We shop at Old Navy so much we now have an Old Navy credit card because we wanted to receive additional coupons plus a ton of other benefits that are only offered to card holders.  We shop at Old Navy for a few reasons like price, selection and quality.  Having three kids means we go clothes shopping often so I want to make sure I get great clothes for a great price that I can be sure are going to hold up to the everyday activities of my children.  Shaun tends to be rough on his clothes and over the years have found that clothes from Old Navy stand up to his abuse.

Another thing I love about Old Navy is there cute kids clothing.  I like to dress Shaun and Shae is cloths that are cute and cool and I find Old Navy has the best selection of clothing like this.  A lot of other stores we shop at don’t offer the selection of cute and cool that we are usually looking for.

Our family has shopped at a lot of different clothing stores over the years but we find our go to store is Old Navy!

Definitely make sure you check out Old Navy’s IN STORE Kids & Baby sale where items will start at only $5 from February 4th until February 17th

Plus, get an extra 25% off with THIS coupon. Quite the deal, right?
