My youngest recently turned two, signifying the end of the “baby” era…an era that has been bittersweet. I spent half of it wondering when it would get easier and the other half praying time would just stand still. But alas, unless something miraculous were to happen, my husband and I are pretty certain our cozy family of four is complete. That’s not to say that visiting Newport Beach’s newest boutique resident, the ultra-hip and sophisticated Bel Bambini, doesn’t make me long for a teeny tiny baby to spoil.

A few weeks ago, Bel Bambini opened it’s doors to a group of LA and OC bloggers for a store preview and fashion show. The upscale baby boutique is the destination store for expectant and new parents, offering a wide variety of products for the new baby, the toddler and even the preschooler. As you would expect, the boutique carries the best products from reputable designer brands including Stokke, Bloom, DwellStudio, Bugaboo, PUJ, and many more. The Newport Beach location, which spans 10,000 square feet on two levels, features exclusive and couture children’s apparel, a shoe department, a private mommy lounge. The boutique also offers concierge services including baby registry, baby shower and special event planning, custom design furniture, and more. Visually, the store is just beautiful. The products are arranged by key periods in a baby/child’s life (i.e. feeding, play, sleep, bathtime, etc.), which makes it very easy for parents to shop and find what they’re looking for.

While visiting the store, both of my children participated in the fashion show. My daughter wore Roberto Cavalli and my son wore Ben Sherman.

We also did something very unique that I’m excited to share with you once it’s complete. Each of us embarked on a scavenger hunt of sorts. We were given a variety of themes to choose from and then browsed the store looking for our top picks. I selected 1st Birthday Gifts for Girls and Eco-Friendly Baby Must Haves. Stay tuned for my quick picks!
This coming weekend, March 24th and 25th, Bel Bambini will celebrate the official grand opening of it’s second boutique location in Newport Beach. This free celebration event is paced full of amazing activities including children’s entertainment, music, food, gifts with purchase, store discounts, and a ton of giveaways. For a complete run down of the weekend’s events, just visit their website.
No compensation was received for this post. I attended a media event and received a gift bag and gift certificate. My children also participated in the fashion show. All opinions remain my own.
Profuse thanks to Ciaran from Momfluential who organized a fabulously chic event!

Wow, what a cool event! I’m glad we’re out of the baby stage, otherwise it would be so tempting to use Bel Bambini to outfit the nursery!
I agree. This was a fabulous event. The kids all looked adorable and the store is simply AMAZING!!!
It was such a fun event! The store is beautiful and I can’t wait to head back to shop!
Gorgeous looking store. My shopaholism just spiked.
I just went there last week for a baby shower gift. It is such an adorable store!
How cute were your kids in that fashion show! Glad you could make it. It was such a fun event.
Looks like it was a really fun event, sorry I missed it! And yes, if I was still in the baby stage, this store would be dangerous!! Adorable stuff.
