I recently had the pleasure of receiving a gorgeous ring sling as a gift from the Etsy seller, BabyEtte. Called Black Pearl, this cotton sling is banded in an eye-catching Japanese floral print, and the shoulder is meticulously pleated for an effect that not only provides visual interest, but adds comfort and reinforcement. I already have a number of slings that I love, but I actually let out a gasp when I laid eyes this one. It is really, really beautiful and obviously designed and sewn with great care and attention to detail. I have worn it several times in the last week with my 5-month-old and we both find it to be comfortable and easy to use. The BabyEtte sling is the embodiment of what I find to be so fun about ring slings -- it is not only an easy, convenient way to carry your child, it serves as a fashion statement in its own right. Check out this photo of me wearing W in it! Now for the exciting part: Beth at BabyEtte has kindly offered to send a signature Baby Basics Sling in the colorway of their choice to one lucky Marvelous Kiddo reader! Here's all you have to do to enter the giveaway:
1. Visit the BabyEtte shop and then leave a comment on this post, telling me your favorite item.
2. Be sure to leave your email address
3. To earn extra entries, you may tweet (once daily) or blog (once, total) about the giveaway, linking back to this post. Just be sure to leave separate comments (with urls) for each of those entries to be considered.
The deadline is 11:59 pm, Sunday February 28. I'll choose a winner at random and announce who the lucky person is on Monday, March 1.


Hehe. I'm back.

ReplyDeleteAll about the pewter grey ring sling. !! :) c.m.connors@lse.ac.uk
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Italian Fashionista. Speaking of which – I'm loving your flickr outfits. Good motivation to get out of sweat pants! (which I fear is my lazy fashion future...)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I really did look through them carefully before I looked at the comments, but I'm with so many others who said plum purple!
ReplyDeleteI actually run a nursing mom's support group in my rural area, and collect used slings (used, because how could I not wear something so pretty with my toddler... at least for awhile!) to lend out or give to moms who are in poverty or can't afford to buy multiple slings and figure out what works best for them.
Crossing my fingers :)

Oooh! what a great giveaway! I am a month away from baby #3 and gave all our slings away! Sunset is beautiful but if I had to pick I would probably go with the little black dress :)

Pewter is my pick. I love soft grays.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the giveaway!
I've loved the slings at BabyEtte for a while now. If I had my dream pick, it would be the Emerald Isle silk. It is GORGEOUS! Of course having a standard LBD sling would be very functional and fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win one of these.

ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have a sling like this. This is unlike me, but I adored the emerald isle silk pleated ring sling in the BabyEtte boutique. I was just thinking how cool it would have been to have that when Olivia was dressed Dorothy for Halloween! I honestly expected it to be more expensive than it actually is. You know my email. :-)
