Magic at Play | Disney and Kohl’s

Disney, kids fashion

In April, a collaboration with Disney and Kohl’s, Magic at Play, launched its new line of Disney themed fashions by Jumping Beans for both boys and girls, infants to size 7x. Because I was an invited guest at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, I was also asked to purchase items from the line, and provide a review. Not a problem! All four of my kids still happen to fit within the size range available for the line. As soon as I received my gift card, I took off to Kohl’s. Thank goodness I did! The line was being put on the floor the same day I came. I bought a few items, and came back the next day, and almost half of the selection was gone.

Kohl’s provides quality and style for my party of 4 at an affordable price. I was quite pleased with the options of the new Jumping Beans line for Disney. I knew my younger boys would be good with whatever I brought home, they are 3 after all, and as long as it has Mickey Mouse on it, they are the envy of all toddlers on the playground. The other two, I was a bit apprehensive.

My daughter is 8, going on 16, and has a style mind of her own. Though I found the options to be absolutely adorable, I wasn’t so sure she would feel the same way. If she was 2, I would have bought every piece in the collection (I’m not joking), but since she thinks she walks the run way everywhere she goes, I wasn’t sure how she would feel about the tutus and leggings available in her size.

I went with a red and white polka dotted tutu skirt, with matching navy blue leggings with red and white polka dot trim, and a navy tank with a sparkly outline of Minnie on the front, and the red and white polka dot theme on the back. Winning!

I also chose for her the neon pink and gray ensemble that resembled an 80’s outfit I’m pretty sure I wore at her age. Off the shoulder, banded top with a short skirt and biker shorts underneath. Winning again!

Finally, grabbed her the gray and white striped top with a sparkly Minnie on the front, and a peek-a-boo bow in the back. She paired this with jeans skirts, and shorts. In fact, I finally had to hide it as it was showing up in my pictures each day we were in the park.

Disney and Kohl's Magic at Play

For my 10 year old son, he was stoked to have the basketball player style shorts in red, white and blue, and also a navy, gray and red pattern. Since he is totally in to baseball, I picked out the Mickey playing baseball athletic style top, that he excitedly said he would wear at his baseball practices as well.

I did hold my breath and bought all three boys the matching Classic Mickey T’s, and breathed a sigh of relief when they proudly wore them to an event during the conference.

My only complaint was with the boys’ shorts in all sizes I purchased (3T and 7x). The waist bands were quite wide and my boys are quite narrow. I normally only buy them shorts with either a working drawstring, or the adjustable waistbands, but figured I would give these a shot. They don’t stay up on any of my boys, so I rubberband them in the back. My daughter’s outfits in the size 6 fit her perfectly.

Even with washing, the Jumping Beans line for Disney still looks great. Will definitely keep up with them through their summer activities and remind them of the fun times we had at the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration this year.

You can have some of the magic, too! Kohl’s has provided me with a $50 giftcard to share with my readers, so you can also purchase some fun items from the Jumping Beans Disney line! See more of the adorable pieces by following @Kohls and @DisneyLiving on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Or visit the Kohl’s site for more style ideas!

Thank you Disney and Kohl’s Magic at Play for sponsoring today’s post.

Tea Collection | Bali Inspired Kids Clothes

This summer, crossing all my fingers and toes, I will get to take an amazing vacation with my husband and my two older kids to Indonesia, Bali, to be exact.

Bali Indonesia Jimbaran Bay Ritz Carlton

10 years ago in Bali. Cannot believe how young and thin we were!

RockStarHubby and I will be married 10 years on May 4th. We honeymooned in Bali, and fell in love with the culture, the atmosphere, and the land. One morning, on our lanai eating breakfast and looking out over the ocean, we were chatting about the next time we would be able to come back for a visit. It’s almost a 24-hour flight with the time change and layovers…it’s not like just hoping on a flight to Europe or Hawaii. We figured with the costs and the time, it most likely wouldn’t be for another 20-years until we could get back. And, since we figured we would be twenty years older with kids, we decided we would come back with them and renew our vows.

Bali Elephant

This is my kids' favorite photo. They can't wait to see all the animals up close and personal.

Then, something really super cool happened a few months ago…my best friend from college got engaged. Beyond the fact that I am just thrilled for her, I couldn’t help but have a slightly selfish reason attached for wanting to be at her wedding. See, we were also room mates, and would stay up for hours talking about our future goals and plans. We both had intentions of travelling and spending time living internationally, though she ended up really succeeding in that arena. Being from the Bay Area, she started working for a little company called, Shopping.com, that was bought several years later by another little company called eBay. They moved her down to Australia, where she lived for 4 years, met a hot Aussie, fell in love, got engaged…now they are living in Singapore. Lucky for me, their favorite romantic vaca spot is Bali, where they are planning on getting hitched. My dreams of an anniversary trip were moved up by 10 years!

Pretty close to the last time I wore a bikini!

So, now I am diligently shopping for cool, earthy, funky, islander style clothing for my kids. When my oldest son was a baby, I searched high and low for great pieces that were cute and different for little boys. I dedicated myself (and busted my budget) to baby boutique shopping, and came across this line called Tea Collection. Very apropo for me, I thought at least, and represented so many things about my own style that I loved. Tea, for one, and casual, cool clothes with a worldly vibe. Even better, it was for kids. They make the most adorable boys and girls line…from baby to big kid. The best part is that, yes, it can be boutique prices, but, if you are a good shopper, you’ll find deals all over the place, like sales at Nordstroms, end of season sales at boutiques, and on-line special offers. What I also love about this line is that I kept the clothes from my first son, and now my twins are wearing those items 7 years later. The quality lasts. It’s amazing. I have also bought my daughter some great pieces that I have handed down to friends. I cannot wait to start shopping at Tea Collection for our upcoming trip!

Not much has changed! Still fishing with the locals...

If you are in the market to purchase some great kids outfits for Spring Break or Summer vacation, check out the Tea Collection. Makes for great family photo opps, too!

Here is a message from Tea:

Spring is right around the corner and Tea Collection has put together the most adorable Spring 2012 Collection designed and influenced by the island of Bali. Shop the new collection now and take advantage of Tea Collection’s 10% off coupon (no minimum required) with promo code SS12SAS valid through 3/31/12. Although I love the entire collection below are a few of my absolute favorites!

I absolutely adore the Dancing Fern Dress. The colors and design make this the perfect dress for a school picture or a casual family gathering. Boys will love the Monkey King Teeinspired by the Ramayana Monkey Chant dance in Bali. Don’t worry moms! Tea Collection has even designed a Bali collection for women and I love the Artisan Ikat Tunic. It’s lightweight and goes perfect with a pair of jeans.

I can’t wait to get my shopping on!
