Gift Giving Season has Arrived!

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Holiday gifts, hostess gifts

Gift giving season is officially here. Sigh. So many people to buy for,  so  many parties to attend and so little creativity left in us by the time we actually get to shopping. So we at Luxe Baby thought we would help you out during the months of November and December – showing you some of our favorite items for the jetsetters,  host/hostesses and other fashion and tech savvy people in your life. And you know…maybe even the kids.

Don’t worry – we won’t forget about gifts for YOU. We will also be doing some fantastic giveaways, so don’t forget to check the blog and our Facebook page!

And in the next few months, we will also be introducing you to some of our newest contributing writers, including a savvy SAHD (Stay at Home Dad) who brings a whole different (and much needed) spin to Luxe Baby.

Happy November!

Yoga for Fitness, Fashion and Boobies.

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

LIMITED EDITION DESIGNER YOGA MAT

You  know you want the same kind of yoga mat that Jennifer Aniston uses. After all, if we have the same equipment, we will automatically get her perfect physique, right? Ok, maybe not. But nonetheless, we like to know that some of the best products on the market (with a high coolness factor) are actually doing more than just looking good. Like these yoga mats from Yogimatic.com, for instance.

Yogamatic.com has produced a limited run of 500 sequentially numbered Calvin Klein Performance designed mats with net proceeds from every sale benefiting Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC). The exclusive Calvin Klein Performance design marks the first time the iconic designer brand has created a yoga mat.

“The design for the Calvin Klein Performance yoga mat is inspired by Warrior 1, one of the most fundamental and beautiful yoga poses. We purposefully wanted the design to incorporate bold, graphic lines which create a fearless silhouette that embodies strength, balance, and courage,” said Kevin Carrigan, Creative Director of Calvin Klein Performance.

This eco-friendly, limited edition design is available exclusively online at Yogamatic for $85 until quantities are sold out. And while they aren’t pink, everyone will know you are doing your yoga in support of boobies everywhere. – Amy Schwager

PRICE: $85.00 + tax & shipping

To purchase please visit Yogamatic.com.

Pink in the Rain

Tuesday, October 18th, 2011

Ah…fall has arrived. And for most of us, that means we are in for some precipitation of the wet and sometimes slushy kind. And that also means that we are in for some new rain boots. What – we can’t ignore nature, can we? And we certainly can’t spend another season wishing we had the perfect pair of boots to add to our wet weather collection.

Well, timing is perfect on this one. Hunter is offering these perfect pink gems in honor of breast cancer awareness. They are limited edition color and a percentage of the purchase price will be donated to breast cancer research. So stay one step ahead of the puddles and order these up, ASAP.  – Amy Schwager
