BuBu's 1st Birthday Bash~Sponsor Spotlight: mi cielo

 

I am so excited to introduce my readers to mi cielo!!

First off, let me tell you... "mi cielo" means "my sky, my love" in Spanish.

The Story of mi cielo:
Kayo, the owner of mi cielo, was tired of her son wearing basic boring clothing. She began hand-stitching felted flair to her sons clothing to add some style to his wardrobe. She created so much, her husband thought it was a good idea she started selling it so they could reclaim all that space. That is how mi cielo was born.

*Directly from the mi cielo site*
I believe every single little one is so unique and special in his/her existence, especially for his/her family, so forget mass production! I want to create a one and only special item for every single little one and his/her family!
All items are created and hand-stitched with 100% love by me in Hawaii. I use felts in 28 different colors and play with them every day trying to create something original.

 Kayo sent me an adorable Hello Kitty-ish in Kimono Fabric Dress on an 18mth pink T-shirt.
Can someone say ADORABLE?!?

A close-up, so you can see the details.
 I instantly fell in love with this cute little shirt created just for BuBu.  HAND-STITCHED with love...those words make this shirt much more than just a shirt. 



This is one of many unique designs that she makes. 
Here are some of my favorites...
(for the girls)
Stylish Owl Infant Bodysuit~$22
HAWAII COLLECTION - Stylish Bunny with Hibiscus Infant Bodysuit~$22
(for the boys)
HAWAII COLLECTION - Fashionable Gecko Toddler T-Shirt~$24
Here Comes The Octopus Monster~$22
OK...now for the Star Wars fans...this is for you!!
Custom-Made Kids Shirt with StarWars Look-A-Like Characters~$28
First, pick which character you want, then pick the color shirt/onesie, than size. How cool is that!!?! 

She started out making kids clothing, but her husband got jealous. He wanted some cool clothes too! SoOo..she started making Adult clothing!
(adult size creations)
Hanging Bat Adult T-Shirt~$27

Kawaii Cookie Monster-ish Women T-Shirt~$29


She also makes cases for iPhone / iTouch / iPod! So cool!
Princess Leia Inspired iPhone / iTouch / iPod Case~$23
And just when you think it doesn't get any cooler than that, it does!! You want a matching shirt with your little one? Good news, mi cielo can do that for you! 

Washing Instructions: Hand washed preferred. May used delicate cycle. No bleach. Line or hang dry.

Note: I did wash BuBu's shirt on delicate, in cold water and it came out just fine. Still looks like new. I also hung it on the line to dry.

I was thrilled to see they offer green items including clothing for my furry family member! Check out this adorable outfit Sugar will be getting for Christmas!

The awesome people at The Ultimate Green Store sent me an Organic Stuffed Toy Fruit Set to review.

Right away, I knew this would be the perfect toy for BuBu. She loves bananas and was attracted to the soft cute-headed banana at first sight. This adorable fruit set is very appealing and just the right size for her little baby hands. BuBu loves to take the fruit out of the basket and then put it back in. I love watching her tote this fruit basket while she stumbles around the house. So cute!!
