AvantHeart {A Product Review}

 Sorry, I'm a bit late. I was supposed to post yesterday, but I suppose I have a pretty good excuse. *crickets* So... today I'm going to review a lovely Rockabilly headwrap sent to me by AvantHeart Etsy shop!

 
  This is only about half the length. It's nice and long.

 
Detail, sewn side.
 



This is the headwrap with it's normal width. I tied the ends under my hair.


And this is the headwrap folded in half. I liked this better. It made it more the width of a normal headband, and I just think it generally looks a bit better.

 
Another.

 
Last one of this style. Don't know what's up with the pose. 

 
You can also tie it like this, though it sort of reminds me of a strange bunny!


Or you could change the bunny ears to a bow. 

And, surprise! It actually makes a cute scarf as well!

So now that I've barraged you with a bunch of photos, onto the review! I really like this headwrap. It's versatile, and I feel like you could do all kinds of different styles with it, besides the five I've tried out. It's sturdy, and well made. It's also very cute. I love the pattern. The owner of AvantHeart was very kind to let me choose a headwrap to review, and I narrowed it down to this one, though there were several others I could have chosen that are very cute.

 The only thing I didn't really care for was the thickness of the headwrap, but that's just a personal thing, and solved easily by folding it over. 

 I recommend checking out AvantHeart's headwrap section! As in just about any place you shop, I don't endorse and recommend some things, so use wisdom when shopping. But most of these headwraps are just adorable. They're only $7.00, and seeing as how hair accessories in a store can be that or higher, I'd say this is a great price for all you can do with them. They'd make great gifts or are nice just for your personal use.

 Next time I look for a headwrap, AvantHeart will be at the top of my list. 

Hope you enjoyed!

I was sent this headwrap for free from AvantHeart. All opinions expressed are my own.

Lilla Rose Hair Clips! {Product Review}



Howdy y'alls!
A couple weeks ago, I was sent a beautiful flexi-clip from Lilla Rose!
 Lilla Rose is one of my favorite hair jewelry/hair piece companies, and a couple years ago I was first introduced to them by winning a giveaway hosted by the lovely ladies at Urban Homestead. 

Amanda Smith was the sweet consultant I worked with this time. She is also the one donating a $16 gift certificate to Lilla Rose on our our big group giveaway (ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO ENTER!!).

So, a big shout-out thank you to Amanda for contributing to the giveaway and providing this product for review today! (Y'all, she would love it if you could go and like her Facebook page, and also check out her Lilla Rose online store.)

Nowwww, on to the review!



I was given a choice of which flexi-clip I'd like to review and I chose the Dreamcatcher in size medium. 



(Photo from Lilla Rose website, since my icky photos don't really do this clip justice!)



The first thing which caught my eye with this particular clip, was the color combinations.

The turquoise. 

If y'all didn't know already, I adore turquoise...it's just about my favorite color.
So naturally, when I was skimming the flexi-clip page, I saw this one and instantly knew it was "the one."
  


I really like the little sparkly jewel in the middle. (Once again, this photo doesn't do it justice at all.)



I chose the size medium clip because I wanted something big enough to hold a good section of my thick hair, but small enough to do half-up/half-down hairstyles and such without some giant clip to fuss with.


 The clip I won a while back was a size small flexi-clip, but I think the medium works a ton better for my hair type now that I have the two to compare.


I've only had this clip for a few weeks and already, numerous people have given me compliments on it. 

It's really easy to use, (literally, it takes mere seconds for me to pin my hair back with it) and adds a touch of whimsy and elegance to any hairstyle.

Overall, I give the flexi-clips two thumbs up! Even the packaging this clip arrived in was professional and elegant. 

Amanda has been a pleasure to work with and I would definitely refer you to her if you are interested in making a purchase from Lilla Rose. (Once again, visit her shop here)

I hope y'all enjoyed this review! I do apologize for the quality of the photos I took. I'm no professional photographer(as is evident!)...even though that would be a nice aspiration one day!

 If you could pick one Lilla Rose item, what would it be? 


Have a blessed Monday,
 Note: I was given this item from Lilla Rose in exchange for my honest opinion.
