Sarava Designs Review & Giveaway

When this dreamy package showed up for Avery, I knew we would fall in love with the leggings by Sarava Designs . When I actually opened them and saw how perfectly they were sewn, we were hooked! They fit a little bit looser which I love since so many leggings run so tight. She'll be able to wear them - comfortably - for awhile! The patterns that she has in her shop are all beautiful. Deer, owls, geometric, arrows, bows, chevron. The list goes on and on, and there are plenty of boy options too. Her leggings run between $18 - $30 depending on whether you want the organic fabric. My mom commented that you could tell immediately the fabric was organic -- it didn't have that "chemical-ly" smell.

Sarava Designs has been generous enough to give away a pair to one lucky winner! Winner will get to choose the leggings of their choice. See my instagram post for entry details (@amira143). 

*Extra entry for pinning your favorite pair of leggings and commenting below that you've done so.*

I'll choose a winner at random on Friday 4/25.

Mama Case Prints

First things first. These pigtails KILLED me. I could not get enough of them. Avery instantly looked like a toddler to me. POOF, there went my little infant. These pig tails were a desperate attempt at hiding styling her mullet. 

Secondly, could you just die over Avery's t-shirt by Mama Case Prints?! All of these witty, creative tees are designed and made in her home studio. I admire momtrepreneurs so much and love supporting these shops! She prints on American Apparel so you can be sure the tees are as soft as possible.

Some of my personal favorites:

 Can we discuss how cute the BFF tees would be for siblings? Or mama/baby?

 Mama Case Prints has so generously offered to giveaway one of these witty tees. 

I will choose the winner at random on Wednesday 4/16/14.

See my instagram photo to enter.

Freshly Picked Moccasins

Have you seen the Freshly Picked Spring line? Glacier (light blue), Aruba (turquoise), Coral, and Golden Rod. When I saw them in Golden Rod I knew I had to have them. Every little girl needs a pair of yellow shoes in her life right? I've noticed a big nautical trend in baby clothes this spring, and yellow pairs perfectly with blue and white.

Let me tell you that the quality of Freshly Picked moccs are visible the moment you take them out of the cute muslin bag you will receive them in. You can smell the leather. The stitching is flawless. And they are so durable. I love that Freshly Picked moccs sit up higher on her ankle than other moccs we've tried. I know a few mamas who were concerned about soft-soled shoes for walkers. We took ours exploring and Avery was able to walk over dirt and rocks with ease. Not to mention how many people stopped to compliment her ;-)

If you have been eyeing Freshly Picked moccs but have been hesitating for some reason - don't! 

You will not regret it. 

Aaand I'm ecstatic to let you guys know that we're giving away a pair right here on Shades of Gray! 

See my post on Instagram this morning for entry details.

I'll choose a winner on Friday 4/4/14!

Best of luck :-)

Aim Baby Leggings

Okay, I'm sorry - but have you seen these little crown royalty leggings by Aim Baby? 
I follow her on instagram (AIMBABYSHOP) and I'm constantly tormented by the adorable leggings that I do not own.

Each pair is hand-sewn and printed on organic cotton with non-toxic ink. 
The fabric is so soft and thick enough to keep your little one warm. 

I love that the waist band is not super tight! They run slightly looser, so at 23 pounds and 14 months old, Avery wears the 12 month size. Can you tell she adores them?

These royalty leggings are my favorite (the crowns come in black, blue and purple as well) but they have so many adorable prints available. A lot of them are uni-sex so they'd be perfect for little boys as well. 

The best news of all is that Aim Baby Shop is offering a generous 20% off their leggings for the next three days. Make sure to snag a pair (or two) between now and Friday night!
Trust me, they do not go on sale very often.

Scarlett Baby

When Avery was tiny (or should I say "smaller" since she was never really tiny, hehe) I loved leg warmers because they kept her warm and didn't dig into her tummy like so many pants did. Now that she's older and on the move, I love them because they protect her knees when she's crawling and keep her warm and stylish when she's walking. When we received these neon aztec leg warmers from Scarlett Baby, Avery walked around the house holding them for 45 minutes. I guess she approved right away. The material is soft and slightly thicker than some of the leg warmers we own. They're sewn perfectly and stayed on her legs all day.

Scarlett Baby is currently giving away one pair of leg warmers! Simply like her shop on instagram (@scarlettbabyhandmade) for one entry, and comment below with which pair you would choose for a second entry. I'll choose a winner at random on Friday.
