Chic Mommy Episode# 1

Dear all mom-to-bes & mom-wannabes,

Don’t let pregnancy and babies stop you for being chic. These days, there are chic products and brand names to prep you to an ultimate chic mom status. It ain’t cheap thou.

I’d like to start off with the stroller. Think about the wellbeing of your baby. You don’t want your baby to forever stay at home, but you don’t your baby to go out & about and experience the outside world with you, may it be the upscale department store, the authentic, cozy, Italian restaurant, the white-powder-sand beach, or the mountain high with forest and fall. Think about how much time you and your baby will spend on this stroller. This brand is my absolute favorite, Bugaboo. Here’s a short summary of Bugaboo story from its website.

Bugaboo is the brainchild of Dutch Designer, Max Barenburg, and his physician brother-in-law, Eduard Zanen. Together they wanted to invent a stroller that was both functional and fashionable, could be used in the city and the country and that was appealing to fathers as well as mothers.

Their answer was the Bugaboo Frog. Introduced in Holland in 1999, and named for it's 'frog like' suspension wheels that 'jumps' over obstacles in its path, the Frog became the 'it' stroller of celebrities and parents who wanted this elite stroller for their babies.

Now they have got 3 major product lines: Frog, Gecko & Cameleon, with price range of $750 - $900. The chic elements of Bugaboo are the crossover of functionality and design. Look at how much you can do with this stroller. I posted the full-option Cameleon for example. You can choose up to 32 color combinations of canvas and fleece fabrics as well as customize embroidery of your baby’s name, nickname, or whatever you wish. You can even get embroidery of your company logo!

Sorry, I got carried away. See how a good design can do to you? I simply want to have a baby so that I can stride him/her in this lovely stroller. And now it comes with Bugaboo by Kosters, a limited edition stroller (only 1000 strollers in the world!) designed y Dutch fashion icon. In its website, it’s nicely starting with “Your baby is unique and beautiful. So why demand any less out of your Bugaboo stroller?” So, the price shoots up to $2000! But look! It’s soooo cute. It also just came out with the new denim line, which priced $150 above the base price.
