I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Baby’s got bling

October 3rd, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

These days, it seems like everyone’s got a little bit of bling. Why should Baby be left out? With novelty pacifiers, pacifier clips, nail clippers and rattles, your little dumpling will be the belle (or mac daddy) of the baby-bling ball.

The pacifiers and matching accessories are kitchy and definitely eye-catching, as they should be with more than 1,000 Swarovski Crystals hand-placed by artisans. The 2007 debut Aristabrat collection, created by Bouavanh Leuangkhamsone and partner Paul Brown, features intricate designs and luxury names like the Princess Diana, the Dynasty and the Your Highness. With pacifiers starting at $120 (the High Society line is priced at $175), you’d think the bling (and materials) would be just a bit more substantial. But when famous tots like Tory Spelling’s son Liam, and Jason and Naomi Priestly’s newborn daughter Ava are sportin’ Aristabrat bling all over tinsel-town, cost comes in second for those who want a little bit of Hollywood in their own crib. Baby might not notice the sparklies securely attached to his or her pacifier, but everyone else sure will. www.aristabrat.com.
