One More Jewelry/Accessory Haul!

 

Hey ladies! Today I've got a bunch of neat product reviews for y'all.

First we have an ADORABLE necklace from Frida & Marilyn .

 

 

 

This necklace was created using recycled and vintage materials. I really like that factor.

It is really very much my style, the retro look. Plus, I appreciate resourcefulness.

 

This is a beautiful piece. I adore it. It's been a main accessory in my outfits lately ever since it arrived in the mail.

 

And, of course, the packaging was adorbs.

 

 

I haven't worn many loooong necklaces like this before, but this sort matches with most anything and as I said before I just loved it as soon as I laid eyes on it. It's so me!

 

It's so unique. Even the chain suspending the pendant is beautifully original.

 

Overall, I have NO complaints and I absolutely love Leyla's (the shop owner) work! You should definitely check out her shop.

 

 

Next up, another adorrrrable piece of jewelry - a pair of earrings from Miss Frosting.

 

 

First of all, the packaging! Once again, just too cute not to get a picture of.

 

I just love these earrings. To me they have a semi-retro look. Very classy and elegant. I love wearing them!

 

They're very lightweight and I forget I even have them on, sometimes!

 

 

The length is perfect. Not too long, but not too short either.

 

Overall, I give these earrings two thumbs up! They're super stylish and cute, and I've enjoyed wearing them all over the place. They're already a stable in my wardrobe!

(Go check out the Miss Frosting store right now!!)

 

 

 

And here we have a lovely hat from SavannahWillow.

I know the pictures aren't very good. But I still love wearing this hat nonetheless. I've always liked hats, anyway. Something about them is just so incredibly classy.

 

 

 

Hats can spruce up just about any outfit. It's a shame that many women don't wear them anymore like they used to.

 

Anyhow, I really like this hat. It's black, so it matches with everything, and black is inherently classy in my opinion, anyway.

 

(Excuse my goofy posing. I'm not very photogenic...haha.)

Anyhoo, Savannah Willow has a number of other vintage items similar to this hat. You should take a look!

 

 

Now. I  know this particular review is long-overdue, especially considering that I was sent this pair of boots several months ago.

They're from Bete Noire Vintage . I think they are simply adorable, but the problem? My feet are, as always, too big. >_<

 

I will give them to a friend with smaller feet. But it was disappointing because these are just so unique and I would certainly have worn them if I could've.

 

Well, that wraps up today'spost!

Hope all you lovely people enjoyed!

 

Blessings,

Purples and pinks! {ClassyGarb + Product Review}

 Hello girls! Today I have a dual post for you. *Commence cheers.* *Crickets* Okay, well... onward then.

 I was sent a lovely purple skirt from the Etsy shop SweetCakeCookie to review. So I put together an outfit to wear at church yesterday, and at assembly. My mother found the shirt and jacket for me in an attempt to find something to go with it. So now for the outfit. Here it is.

     

            This photo makes me look rather dwarfish haha. But it gives a full view of the outfit.

   Another angle of sorts. As you can see the skirt is cotton material. It's pretty thin and lightweight. 

  

 Here's my very awkward attempt to lift the skirt to show more detail. Didn't go too well. :P

 Here's a close up on the top of the outfit. As you know from earlier posts, I love to have a little jacket/sweater to go over top to add a nice detail to the outfit. I doubt the outfit would be the same without it!

                                           Look how flowy the skirt is in this shadow photo. :D

 

  And here are my shoes. Much like Katelyn with her high heels, I wear these sandals often with outfits during the summer. In fact, you can see them in another outfit post. I love sandals in summertime! But I'll soon be switching to closed toes and some heels for the fall.
 

 Want to know how I put this outfit together?

 Skirt: SweetCakeCookie. Etsy shop. 

 Pink undershirt shirt: Lands End. You can get an undershirt in several different places. My mom found this quality one at Good Will. (You know how I'm always talking about how I love Good Will?)

White over shirt/jacket: Jasonmaxwell. Another one of my mom's Good Will finds. She's a great shopper!

Shoes: Mootsies Tootsies. I believe I picked these up at Peebles. Peebles is a nice little clothing store that no one appreciates as much as they should. :P I think some of their stores are known as Beals. 

I noticed that so far I've only done dressy outfit posts... mostly. So I'll try to do something slightly more casual in the future. 

 And that's the extent of my outfit post. I hope you enjoyed it! Now for the official review...

 This skirt came from THAILAND which makes it instantly cool in my mind. Along with the package was a sweet note written by the shop owner, and washing instructions. As I said the skirt is very lightweight/made of cotton. It goes almost to my ankles in length, and twirls when you turn. I really love it, and enjoy wearing it, especially for summertime. But I'll probably continue wearing it through the fall. There is a thin, cotton underskirt sewn into the skirt. My only complaint with this lovey piece of clothing is that because of the thin substance of the fabric it might rip or something. But I haven't had that problem yet, and it's very beautiful. 

 You won't be able to get this exact skirt, because from what I can tell this shop makes homemade skirts, and they are different. But if you want an equally lovely, comfortable skirt, check out SweetCakeCookie!

 Have a lovely day! Hope you enjoyed!

 

 

Summer Accessory Haul #3

 

Good afternoon everyone!

Today I have one last summer haul post for y'all, where I'll be featuring some truly exquisite jewelry pieces.

 

First off, we have two handcrafted bracelets from BevaStyles.

 

The first, and also my favorite of the two, is an aqua blue crackle agate statement bracelet.

Can I just say that this is an amazing piece? I kid you not, it is my favorite bracelet right now and has been ever since it arrived in the mail!

 

I absolutely adore the color scheme. Since turquoise is my favorite color, it was a no-brainer that my eye was first pulled to this piece above the others on the BevaStyles Etsy shop. (even though there were quite a few others that also caught my attention!)

 

The assorted gold chains really complement the large turquoise agate beads. The clasp is a spherical silver magnet, with little sparkly rhinestone-like jewels embedded. The magnetic clasp makes it very easy to put on this bracelet quickly and without fuss. Not to mention, it looks beautiful!

 

Overall, this is a unique, chic bracelet. It's big and chunky, and definitely a bold and boho statement piece.

I love it!

 

 

The ombre mixed metal multi chain bracelet  is also a fantastic accessory. It matches with literally anything, due the different assorted chains and neutral color scheme.

 

It features a large, clear glass bead as a focal point and also a large, vintage looking silver clasp.

 

I love the gypsy/bohemian look to this one as well. It is definitely adorable!

It's nice if you would rather not have all the sparkle and bling but still want a noticeable bracelet to add to your outfit.

 

Overall, it's another winner!

 

(I love how both bracelets hang on my wrist.)

 

And now for two pairs of stud earrings from Miss Mables Boutique!

 

The first, a pair of aqua post earrings.

 

These are just so cute! The color is brilliant, so bright and cheery. I love the silver rims paired with it, it matches quite well and both colors complement each other nicely.

 

They're very lightweight, and easy to wear. The only thing that I think could be improved is their backing, it's merely a tiny piece of rubber-ish material which could easily be lost.

 

Overall, these are adorable earrings! They're not too small, but not too big either, for studs.

 

 

Finally, last but not least, a pair of black sparkly post earrings .

 

These, like the turquoise studs above, are very cute! Obviously they're not nearly so bright and perky but they're definitely pretty and dramatic.

 

The black, sparkly middle piece is surrounded in coppery toned rims, and it's once again a nice combination of colors. The sparkles are a wide variety of hues, making these earrings capable of being worn with just about anything.

 

I have no complaints except as mentioned previously, with the backing, as it's the same with this pair as well as the other.

 

And the same notion for the overall verdict follows the same with these. They're lovely!

 

I included a shot of the packaging for both pairs of earrings because I thought it was cute. And did you notice the little paper/cardboard pieces the earrings were attached to? Isn't that just the cutest idea?

 

 

 Well, hope y'all enjoyed this haul. I certainly enjoyed getting review these items!

You would be advised to go check out BevaStyles and Miss Mables Boutique for yourself -  I guarantee, if you want classy, quality jewelry items you won't be disappointed! Both shops offer fun and unique things!

 

Summer Accessory Haul #2

 

Good afternoon, ladies!

Time for a second summer accessory haul. We have some fabulous items today!

 

Firstly, a pair of gorgeous hand crafted earrings from Maya & Ruhi.

 

The mail somehow got the package mixed up and the earrings came months later than originally anticipated, but it was actually alright because I was worried that they were lost somewhere and wouldn't come at all. So it was even nicer a  surprise to see the Maya & Ruhi package in the mail!

 

I just love these earrings. They're the largest hoops I currently have, and I don't think I've ever had a pair quite like them.

 

They're beautiful.

 

I love the size, it makes them very noticeable, and because they draw such attention I could wear nothing else jewelry wise and it would still look dressier/fancy. Very nice when one doesn't feel like donning a ton of accessories but still wants to look more put-together!

 

While I'm not typically fond of bronze/copper for jewelry, the color combination of these earrings is really quite perfect. The white beads match with just about anything, and offer a fresh pop of color, which, like I said, can go with basically my entire wardrobe.

 

Oh, and I like the boho look of these. I'm really into that kind of style, and so these definitely have me liking them in that aspect.

 

Want to see some other cute jewelry pieces similar to this? Check out Maya & Ruhi for yourself.

The prices are a bit high, but since it's handcrafted quality jewelry, and knowing the prices of beading materials these days, I think that's just a given. You get what you pay for!

 

 

 

 

Next up, a cute pair of vintage espadrilles from Kat's Cache .  

Unfortunately, they didn't fit *my* feet. But that's pretty typical, given the fact that my feet are HUGE. Seriously. When looking for a pair of winter boots earlier this year, the only thing that would work was a pair of size 13s. I just bought myself some new kicks the other day, and they're size 11s.

 

So yeah. That was disappointing, but I guess I was getting too hopeful.

 (what can you expect though when you've gone barefoot 99 percent of your life?)

 

They really are cute though. I love the little peep-toes and small wedge heels. If my feet were smaller I'd totally be wearing these everywhere. One disadvantage of being a country girl!

 

*sigh*

 

I think I'll give them to a friend with small feet.

 

 

 

 

Ah, and now, last but not least an adorable handcrafted charm necklace from A Charmed Life Designs.

 

Let me just say that I adore this piece.

 

I've been wearing it everywhere ever since it arrived, and that's not much of an exaggeration.

 

It's so light, feminine and dainty, and the little chain charms almost tinkle when they move.

 

The color scheme is beautiful. I love the silver/pearl/light blue combination. It's very classy and elegant.

 

And of course how can we forget the highlight of the necklace, the "Sing, Dance, Dream" pendant?

 

*happy sigh* I love that. It's very me, as I love to sing and dance... and of course dreaming just comes as second nature!

 

I'm not usually huge on super-girly looking jewelry pieces, but this is one I can honestly say that doesn't apply to. It's extremely girly and feminine but that's actually what makes it so perfect!

 

All in all this is a lovely necklace and I would highly suggest taking a peek at the A Charmed Life Designs shop further. There are loads of other pieces similar to this one, and in many different color schemes and styles! And it's all quality, handmade!

 

 

Well, that's it for today's haul!  Hope everyone is having a blessed week!
