Dress Sparkle

Jackie is a enraptured with old vintage things and have an idea of how she will begin to incorporate the things she can purchase on Etsy, namely pillowcases, old linens, lace, etc; into the garments she is sewing, but will also still use modern fabrics in the garment, an upcycle so to speak. I am a shabby~ chic addict, and want to work with old and new...this is he desire, thus my tag line of 
A BIT VINTAGE, A BIT MODERN, A BIT FUN, A LOTTA SPARKLE.

 I love everything Vintage, and my handmade clothes are going more and more vintage all the time. I don't do many "vintage reviews" so I was excited to review my daughter this beautiful dress from Dress Sparkle on Etsy!

This dress is a lovely designer fabric with the primary colors of a soft cream background with pink and mauve colored roses. The sleeves, and ruffle are in a pink and cream flower. 
This dress measures 26." from shoulder to hem length.

Here are some up close pictures to show the detail in this dress:

As soon as she tried it on, my daughter was dancing and twirling.It fit her well.  My favorite part about this dress is the lace. It's so dainty and pretty it pulls this dress all together! I think this dress would be perfect for pictures or a tea party ;D 

You can tell that she puts her all in making these beautiful dresses!

The Striped Swallow

You know how much I love finding new stores to shop for my children. I recently came across the store, The Striped Swallow, which has some of the sweetest clothes for girls! They are a small family mommy boutique specializing in the most beautiful outfits for babies, and toddlers. They feature a wide array of adorable clothes for girls for any occasion from casual school wear to dressing for the special father-daughter dance.

At Bunnies Picnic, you can shop by category for whatever you are looking for, for your children. They feature clothes including dresses, boy clothes, shirts/onsies and birthday outfits!

My daughter was sent these two items:
A embroidered long sleeve top that says 'As a matter of facet I do have a bow to match every outfit"
I saw this and I knew I had to review it! It's so my daughter! She actually DOES have a bow to match every outfit! LOL.This shirt came with a matching bow ;D I love these bright summery colors tighter. They bow is well made and it comes on a alligator clip. The top is a nice comfy fabric. It's Carter's brand.She has also worn it quite a few times so we had the chance to check how well it would wash, and I happy to report we have had no issues with shrinkage or losing its original shape.

This dress is one of my favorite dresses I've ever reviewed! I think it's all the colors together.
It fits my daughter well. Snug but not tight. It comes with a aqua blue sash that completes the dress!

Here are two other dresses she has available to purchase

Flat iron expertes

Hello every one! I'm back with another Flat iron expert product to review! I just love this company! Anything you need and want for your hair and body is there! Hair styling tools, nail polish, cosmetics and much much more!

My hair happens to be extremely dry and frizzy with no volume
what's so ever.  Since I am a low maintenance gal--especially when it comes to hair--I want to get either sleek tresses or gorgeous curls in minutes. One of the easiest ways to do so is by using the Cortex Solo 450 Titanium Zebra Flat Iron / Hair Straightener (1") , as you can go either way with an all-in-one tool!

Cortex Solo 450 Collection is new to the market and made for professionals in the beauty industry. You probably could have guessed this iron heats up to 450 degrees F, the hottest in the market. Adjustable heat and ergonomically designed, this flat iron can be used on ultra thick frizzy hair or ultra thin hair. The results are amazing!

Negative Ion Technology: Negative ions are atoms that can stop the growth of bacteria, fungi, etc., resulting in healthier hair and scalp. Negative ion energy is powerful enough to break apart clusters of water molecules. The smaller water molecules penetrate into the hair shaft by slipping between the cuticles, adding plumpness/volume to hair. The bombardment of negative ions also closes the hair cuticle, which is very good for the health and appearance of the hair.

Far Infrared Heat : Far Infrared (FIR) rays are electro-magnetic waves of energy, totally invisible to the naked eye, capable of penetrating deep into the human body, including the hair shaft. It therefore dries the hair from the inside out. The result is that more moisture remains in the hair shaft and there is less damage to the hair

Not to mention it's zebra print!!! How fun!!!

The Cortex solo 450 Titanium Zebra Flat Iron heats up in seconds! I pulled my hair in sections to straighten it and was done is minutes! Literally about 8 mins and I was done! It left my hair feeling sliky smooth!

Here are some more awesome features:

Features

• Zebra Design Pattern
• 1" Titanium plates for healthier hair and a high gloss shine
• Professional Salon Model
• Adjustable temperature to 450°F for easy use
• Heats up in less than 6 seconds
• Straighten, flip or curl your hair
• The innovative PTC ceramic heater heats up in a flash, and stays at the temperature while styling
• Negative Ions promote smoother, silkier hair
• Far infrared technology distribute heat evenly, preventing damage
• Sleek, ergonomic, non-slip grip designed for professional comfort
• Variable temperature settings for all hair types
• Hooked end for salon professional storage and easy hanging
• Professional 360° swivel cord to prevent tangling
• Dual Voltage - 110 - 240, 50/60 Hz
• Limited Lifetime Warranty

Like always, Flat iron experts gives you a 100% guaranteed money-back guarantee!

Blossom Baby Bands

I just love Blossom Baby Band!.  My daughter got the chance to try one of the head bands out! 

My daughter choose this adorable leopard skinny headband! I like it because it think and it doesn't slip out like the thicker ones do. It is so stretchy it fits every bit of her head! The flower is beautiful I love how she placed a golden pearl in the center, it completes the look.

Here is the picture:

This listing is for a leopard flower headband adorned with a pearl at the center. The flower is then attached to a skinny black elastic band. The backing is made of felt so there is no irritation to a baby's head. The flower measures ~ 2 1/2 inches width. 

Sizes are as follows:

Newborn (0-3 months)- 13"
3-6 months- 15"
6mos-3 yrs- 16"
4yrs to 12yrs- 17"
12yrs to adults- 18"

This item contains small parts that pose a choking hazard. Children should be supervised at all times while wearing headband.

Great for a unique baby shower gift, photography prop or even for everyday wear!

Here is a look at a few more baby bands she makes!

Shown in metallic gold and chocolate brown, it measures approximately 14 x 6 and comes in your choice of color - default is chocolate brown.I've seen these on Pintrest also!
