My former boss, now a great friend gifted me a chain of Chewbeads shortly after I delivered. Yep, the name sounds kinda silly but the concept is actually clever. A stylish necklace for mamma + a teething/chewing toy for baby all in one!
Jill is the kind of woman who you can look up to- stylish, smart, + successful. I remembered that she always strut into the office w/ the coolest outfits. Her handbag collection was enormous full of drool worthy brands. I especially LOVE her cross body Hermes and the Gaufre Napa Prada bag.
So of course when she gifted me Chewbeads, I knew it HAD to be stylish + genius all wrapped up in one!
Yesterday was the ideal ‘walk in the park’ day and I haven’t worn the Chewbeads yet. It was the perfect opportunity to take Zoey out and have her chew on mommy’s necklace if she wanted to! Now that she’s actively teething, she has the urge to chew on EVERYTHING that she can get her tiny hands on!
LOVE the gold snap on clasp!
Gold arm swags to match the clasp.
Remember in the Declutter Agenda post, I said that I couldn’t throw anything away? Well, I kept some white silk scraps from when my husband did our headboard + finally found some use for it! It’s currently a lining for a decorative tray.
These teal suede flats are sooo comfy! Perfect for walking in the park.
They come in all different colors. Blue would be great for baby boys! I LOVE my fabulous punchy pink one. They also have bracelets and different style necklaces. To visit Chewbeads, click here.
NEVER ever allow your baby to wear Chewbeads! It’s not meant to be for their toys.
LOVE the color combo + the velvet bow!
And OF COURSE Ms. Zoey has to match mommy, one way or another.
I wouldn’t wear fancy shirts while strutting your Chewbeads! You don’t want your baby’s drool (although precious) all over your expensive silk blouse! Here I’m wearing a sheer Banana Republic white tee.
Just b/c you’re a mommy doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion! Stay FAB!
Chewbeads- the perfect gift for any new mommies or mommies to be!
Til next post, Kellie.

AND, I actually saw them at the Museum of Modern Art this past weekend. I think these are so cool, I don’t have any kids yet myself, but I plan on buying them for all my mommy friends!
