Gorgeous Fluffy Layers Farm Apron with Rooster and Hens Print.

Fluffy Layers Farm Apron with Rooster and Hens Print  is a gorgeous apron! I love the nice sturdy canvas type fabric of roosters, hens, and roses. It ties securely in back and I love that the neck strap is adjustable too. The red ruffle gives it a feminine touch that is reminiscent of cute vintage aprons.

Fluffy Layers Egg Collecting Apron Review



Fluffy Layers is a wonderful company that was developed by Tara Grier. She and her team at Fluffy Layers are the creators of The Egg Collecting Apron®, The Egg Gathering Apron® & The Harvest Apron®. They also have some really "fun, fashionable products for the urban agriculture enthusiast!" I am one of their new Brand Ambassadors and I can not wait to share with you the adorable stuff they have!

My wonderful Fluffy Layers Egg Collecting Apron.

I received their Egg Collecting Apron. This is a wonderful half body apron that helps you gather 10 jumbo sized eggs from your chickens safely. I received one in a whimsical rooster and hen print. This apron is such a lovely alternative to the egg basket and keeps your hands completely free to do other things while collecting. I love collecting my hen's eggs in it. This is the perfect apron for anyone with chickens. It will work for duck, geese, and quail eggs too! It is made from 100% cotton canvas fabric that is durable and machine-washable. Measures 20" long and 19" wide with an 80" strap. Comes in classic canvas color too.

Bravado Designs and Baby Buggy Team Up For Buy a Tank, Give a Tank #supportherdream Campaign

#supportherdream

I was provided with a complimentary Bravado Dream Nursing Tank to facilitate this review. My thoughts are mine and my family's own opinion and have not been altered by anyone else.

Some of my fondest memories as a mom has been breastfeeding my babies. I love being able to hold them close, nurturing them with my milk, and bonding with them as they partake of my liquid gold. These experiences are cherished and treasured by me. I believe that having the right support, information, and essentials are necessary to be successful at breastfeeding.


Buy A Tank. Give A Tank. You can celebrate the brand new Dream Nursing Tank from Bravado Designs by purchasing one for a great cause! From February 1st through April, with every Dream Nursing Tank purchased, Bravado Designs will donate one nursing tank to Baby Buggy to support a new mother in need. Founded in 2001 by Jessica Seinfeld, Baby Buggy is a national non-profit that works to provide critical child and baby essentials to families in need. A donation of 10,000 tanks will be made for this campaign. By purchasing you can help ensure that new mothers have a successful breastfeeding journey!

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank in Platinum.

I received a Bravado! Designs Dream Nursing Tank in Platinum from Bravado for free to keep, try out and review. The Dream Nursing Tank has a molded, full support nursing bra (not just a flimsy shelf "bra"!) that is built in, has a stretchy bottom band, helps support your "girls", and creates a flattering look. It is lined with a double layer of cotton so it won't irritate the skin. It has removable foam inserts for discretion and shape. Unclip the discreet clasps at the shoulder and drop the full bra cups away to give baby full access to your breast and have maximum skin-to-skin contact. The neckline is modest and provides just the right amount of coverage without showing too much cleavage. I love the flirty ruched detail and the under-bust seaming makes it more flattering.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank has a full support nursing bra with removable foam inserts.

Great for maternity, nursing and beyond as the soft, high quality cotton/spandex outer fabric gently stretches, breathes well and isn't at all see through (even in white!). Fitted, but doesn't cling to the body. Adjustable straps allow for flexible sizing. Looks great on all body types an beautifully silhouettes the figure.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank is perfect to wear with layers!

Perfect to wear anywhere! This tank is hip length for wardrobe versatility. Great for layering. Elegant with a wrap, kimono top, cardigan, or fancy button down blouse, and sophisticated for wearing under a suit jacket for work or meetings. It is also wonderful for just wearing by itself around the house for sleepwear or at Yoga classes. No one will know it is designed for nursing your little one because of its discreet nursing clips that lie flat under close-fitting clothing and easily open and close with one hand, so you won't be fumbling with them and a hungry, fussy baby.

Bravado Dream Nursing Tank has discreet clips that la flat under clothing.

I love this tank! Mine came in Platinum and the Dream Nursing Tank also comes in two other colors: White and Black. I love that it is so comfortable, soft, and looks good with a lot of things I already own. I also love the fact that no one can tell it has a nursing bra inside. It is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe!!

Trendenzas Review

I indeed have my own style in fashion and accessories. I love blues, purples, magentas, and greens...the more rich in color the better. My favorites are the jewel tones and the colors in nature. The accessories I love the most are brooches, bangle bracelets, cuff bracelets, wrap beaded bracelets, chokers, chandelier earrings, scarves, and shawls. Things made of eco-friendly materials also tickle my fancy: up-cycled stuff, wood, glass, metal, etc. I love dichroic glass, cloisonne enameled jewelry and stuff with beads, sequins, embroidery and/or embellishments of some sort. My love of antiques and culture is also seen in some of my wardrobe as I tend to pick up finds from antique shops, bazaars, and estate sales.

Trendenzas sent me these fabulous earrings for free to test and review that they call their "Trendenzas' Multi-Chain Earrings". I absolutely love the color of these! The stones are a really dark sapphire blue and are wrapped in very antique looking multi-chains that hang down from them. These dangle earrings are awesome with jeans or with that little black dress for a night on the town.

Trendenzas is an exclusive member only shop that specializes in fashion accessory trends. They are new and are growing by leaps and bounds. They have offered gorgeous jewelry, scarves, bags and more...all at a phenomenal discount! Offering just one trend per day, at up to 75% off, you won't want to miss these great sales! Sign up for their newsletter to get access to their trends and discounts!

Kiki's Fashions Review

I have my own clothing fashion style that I just absolutely love. I have talked about it briefly on this blog. I have kind of a hippie/boho style. I love clothing that has a ethnic flavor from a different country. I have been looking around the web for maternity clothing I like since I am pregnant and one of the stores online I came across had a lot of clothing I love. Kiki's Fashions has some very trendy maternity clothes at some absolutely fabulous prices!

They carry maternity: short sleeve tops, long sleeve tops, tank tops, dresses, and bottoms. They even have some that are for that transitional stage in your pregnancy. Their clothing is not the droll boring maternity clothing found in most stores. They are cute and highly fashionable.

I really don't want to spend an arm and a leg on clothing I will only wear during my pregnancy...who does? Kiki's Fashions prices range from $9.99 to $29.99. They also have sweet Under $10 and Clearance sections!!

I picked the Jade Embroidered Short Sleeve Maternity Shirt from their store to try and review for free from Kiki's Fashions. I love this shirt! It reminds me of the Orient and I love the color! It has a tie in the back that enables you to cinch it up if needed and gorgeous embroidered accents that make the shirt more wonderful! The only real downside is that this shirt is made from 100% Rayon so it wrinkles easily and is more difficult to clean. Also, the front comes a bit low for me so I am more comfortable wearing a shirt under this. I picked the small because I am petite even when I am pregnant and it fit very nicely even though I am now 36 weeks. These shirts come in other colors besides this pretty jade (which is actually more of a teal): olive brown and light plum.

BUY IT:
Buy the Jade Embroidered Short Sleeve Maternity Shirt for $23.99. Also, for a limited time you can get 20% off of $100 with coupon code SAVEMORE20, 15% off off $75 with coupon code SAVEMORE15, 10% off $40 with coupon code SAVEMORE10.

Bra Barrette Review and Giveaway

Ladies, if you haven't heard of the Bra Barrette you are missing out on a great little gadget. Bra Barrettes are made of a flexible, durable plastic that simply fixes your straps so they won't go anywhere. I hate when my bra straps slide down my shoulders! But, don't let the name deceive you. This isn't just for bra straps! I also wear mine with my: spaghetti strap tank tops and strappy dresses over t-shirts to sport that fashionable but still modest look, camisole straps under a dress shirt or jacket, and swimsuit. It is so comfortable that sometimes I forget I am even wearing it. I received the yellow Hibiscus charm with silver Bra Barrette and a plain clear one to try out. Unfortunately, I didn't have much that matched the yellow Hibiscus charm with silver Bra Barrette except for my bathing suit. I guess it is time for me to go clothes shopping or maybe Bra Barrette shopping :)

Since these also come in a variety of colors and styles to choose from you can pick from plain to hold straps under a shirt to ones with Swarovski crystals to go with that little black dress and bring some bling to your back. They are also going to be unveiling more sizes very soon to accommodate the very petite and the broader shouldered woman. You can even mix and match charms with the Charmed line of Bra Barrettes.

My favorites are the Dolphin Charmed Copper, Swarovski Crystal Volcano Teardrop, Antique Multi-Colored Crystals Drop, Plumeria, CRYSTALLIZED - Swarovski Elements AB Crystal De Art, Copper Filigree Teardrop Charmed Black, Pink Orange Flower Charmed Silver, and the Sealife Charm Pack.

Lil Miss Dolls & Friends Review

I happened upon this very charming website the other day because they added me on twitter and I have to share with all of you! Katrina Marie is exceptionally talented! She makes these very cute mod looking stylish dolls and has been selling them and their patterns on Etsy and Artfire. Now she has just opened the doors to a new website about the dolls. She and her associates will be developing the website and adding more to it soon so stay tuned. Coming soon to the collection of seven girl dolls will be patterns and pre-made: clothing, Lil Sis dolls (which are smaller 18" dolls), Lil Pets (15" cloth toys), Friends (model friends and guy friends). You can even buy a kit so you won't have to spend your whole week looking for supplies to make the dolls or you could purchase a cottage license to sew and sell your own dolls. These dolls are safe for babies or children and are totally customizable to look like your child!! How cool is that!?

Anyway, for all you bloggers out there you can download a free pattern in PDF format for her Lil Miss MISSY Doll! Just make sure to spread the good word on your blogs about them. They also have the instructions on how to make the dolls on their tutorial webpage also as a free PDF download. So enjoy these freebies while you can!!

Clothing Styles

My fashion style has always been pretty casual. I love wearing jeans and a t-shirt because it is comfortable to me. But sometimes I want to dress up a bit. I like styles that are modest and tasteful better than those that are not and I feel more comfortable in them too.

Jewelry I love: chokers, brooches, chandelier earrings, bangle bracelets (I have always wanted to collect them), and memory wire wrap bracelets (I love to make these in my spare time). When I was young I loved friendship bracelets...still do actually. They are so colorful!

If I am not wearing jeans or capri pants usually I have on a long flowing skirt. I really dislike the skirts with slits that will always show your slip or ones that are too tight they don't let you walk in them. I love long skirts that go down to my ankles. Maybe I am a bit old fashioned. My favorites are the sarong (Indonesia)/pareo (Tahiti)/kikepa (Hawaii)/lavalava (Samoa)/sulu (Fiji)/beach wrap...long skirts, gauze/crinkle/broomstick/gypsy/peasant long skirts.

I also love shawls, scarves, dupatta (long scarf), and ponchos (esp. ones with fringe, metallic threads, eyelash yarn, etc.), capes, caplets (esp. hooded ones). I love outfits from India (kirtis, saris, choli, salwar (pants), kameez (shirt). I love smocked tops with empire waists.

Other things I love, but haven't tried out are bindis and henna/mehndi fake tattoo body art.

COLOR, FABRICS, PATTERNS, AND JEWELS...
