Be a fashionista this fall. -Blogory’s 2 Pack Women Short Crochet Boot Cuffs Toppers.

Standard

beige-and-black-boot-socks-1

It’s fall fashion time, and there are so many cute pieces to choose from. Even if you live in a warmer climate, you can still enjoy something like this. I can easily see boot cuffs with a pair of cute boots and shorts. These boot cuffs are the Dickies of the boot world, lol. They literally function the same way. They offer a look of a thick, and well styled boot sock, without being the actual thick bulky sock. They can be worn with both ankle boots, and regular boots. I think they are really cute with cowboy boots, that’s what I have. You actually get two sets of cuffs in this order: 1 beige, and 1 black pair. They are pretty generous in size, and should fit a variety of women. I had tried on a pair like these, but a little different in style, and I popped a seam with my calf, lol. I do not have bird legs, but they are not large either. My calf size is 13.5 inches around the widest part. These are not like that at all. I am really happy to see that. Since they stick into your boot, they don’t slide on you either. Each boot cuff has a fold over look to it. This fold over is sewn down in place in a couple spots. There are also 2 buttons on each cuff. Unfortunately, on one of my black boot cuffs, one button was dangling.

 

beige-and-black-boot-socks-2It only takes a little thread and some time, to tighten back on, but, it’s not something I want to do with a new item. On the other hand, these cuffs are currently only priced at $8. For both pairs, which is really cheap. These boot cuffs are made out of 95% acrylic and 5% spandex. They did not have any funky odor to them upon arrival. The loose button was the only issue I could find on them, as well. I really looked too, after seeing the loose button. They are so easy to use, so they are a no brainer for the fall and winter seasons. You literally just slip them on, put your boots on, and tuck the ends into your boot. That’s it! Overall, these are really cute, and very stylish for the fall and winter seasons. Fingers crossed quality control will be better, in regards to the buttons, that is.

A Fall beauty. -Ivku Commercials’ Women Plaid Blanket Scarf.

Standard

Fall is among us, and the cold breath of winter is at our backdoor. The positive side of all that, is the pretty winter clothing that comes along with it. It’s nice to snuggle up and be warm and cozy. I know I love it. Unfortunately, you can’t always stay snuggled up, and you do need to venture outside, where you are quickly reminded about how much you love the summer time. Your winter outerwear is very important. For most people, fabrics aren’t an issue, and Acrylic is definitely a warmth keeper. This shawl/scarf is made out of acrylic, and it’s huge. I measured it at 57” x 57”. I could be a little off, and by a little, I mean a tiny bit. Every time I tried to measure the scarf, it would move with the measuring tape, lol. It was quite comical, actually. The colors of this shawl remind me of fall. You have such pretty shades of beige, red, green, blue, yellow, and white in here. It really would go with pretty much any color. You do not only have to wear it as a scarf with your winter jacket. It’s so pretty, and flows so nicely, it can easily be an important part of your wardrobe, as well. You can add a pin to it, and style it just so, over your shoulders. They have pretty shawls slides that they sell, that you can add to this as well, for a special look. You can wrap it around your waist line, for another dramatic look as well. You can really do so much with it.

plaid-shawl-6

Since it is really large, you could be non-conventional and drape it across your couch, chair, or bed. You can do a no sew window treatment for the winter months. You are pretty much limited to your own imagination with this product. There is a little bit of fringe on this shawl, but it is very short fringe, about ½” in length. I prefer the shorter fringe. It frays less, and your product lasts so much longer. If you have to machine wash it, I highly suggest cool water, and placing it into a lingerie bag. Then, just drape it through a hanger and let it air dry. Acrylic has a distinct smell to me. Some more so than others. This product was much lighter on the “sweater” smell than other acrylic products I came across shopping today. It’s that time of year, and our stores are filling up with warm acrylic clothing and accessories. To top it off, they even include a pair of stretchy gloves with this shawl. The color of my gloves is a deep, bright pink. It’s a fun color, and my mom loves that color, so they will be hers. It’s a fun added bonus, and a great perk. You can never have enough gloves during the winter months. They get wet, dirty, or, more than not, you lose one glove, at a time, constantly throughout the winter, lol. That is a common occurrence. I really can’t find any negatives with this product. My set arrived with no imperfections, and arrived quickly. I can’t do acrylic due to odd allergies, but my mother can, so she is the big winner here.

Feeling Patriotic? – Luckyclicks’ American Flag Cufflinks Flag of USA Cuff-links with Velvet Gift Box

Standard

Cufflinks are so much fun. They really change the look and feel of a suit, or even, just a dress shirt. I feel that any American Flag is beautiful, so I really love these. Are they the best cufflinks around, nope. But, I didn’t expect that, lol. My set arrived in perfect condition. The silver tone finish on it was not chipped or scratched. It was nice and shiny, like it’s supposed to be. They do not mention the actual metal they are made out of, but they never rest on your skin, really, so they shouldn’t bother people even with metal sensitivities. The actual cufflink bar mechanism is attached very firmly, and works very well. My flags measure out at ¾” x ½” in size. These are my measurements. It’s a great size for a cufflink; very visible. The entire top of the cufflink is the flag, and it has a thick clear resin covering over it. This was also done well on my pair; no nicks or scratches, or bubbles. The resin finish also helps them shine in the light. The cufflinks arrive in a really pretty gift box, just as shown. Overall, they are made well, they are patriotic, and function perfectly. I think they would make a great gift.

This will light up your day. – Emart’s 600W Photography Light Photo Video Studio Umbrella Lighting Kit.

Standard

I love how organized this lighting kit arrives. I am a nut for storage and organization. I do a lot of videos. I have a backdrop that is a little plain right now, but the lighting is never what it should be. I also homeschool my son, and he obviously never gets school photos done. I was so inspired by this lighting set. I’m going to initiate my own, taken at home, homeschool yearly photo. I constitute this a homeschool win, and any homeschooling family can do the same. This set arrives with a great, well-constructed storage bag. It is made out of the material like backpacks are made out of. It has a double zipper on the bag, which make access very easy. Inside of the bag you have 2 white umbrellas, and 2 black umbrellas. They operate just like any regular umbrella. They just do not have a handle. You then have 3 lights, 3 light bulbs, 2 tall tripod stands, 1 smaller tripod stand, and 1 book of instructions. The bulbs included are compact fluorescents, and they are 45 watts each, and have a 5500K. That is close to natural daylight. I recommend trading them out for LED, if you are going to be traveling with them. Compact fluorescents have Mercury in them, and can be broken easily. I like how they included a separate bag for the actual lights. I thought that was a very nice touch. It is not padded, however. You can easily throw a couple microfiber cloths in the bag as padding, which can then be used to clean your lenses with as well. The bulbs that can fit are the regular type bulbs, E26. The white umbrellas the translucent ones, and the black umbrellas are the Reflex ones, or more reflective ones. The instruction pamphlet is pretty nice and easy to follow. Even for a first timer like me. I am used to tripods from my past in music as well as my tripods I use for my backdrop. The tripods are metal, and easy to operate. They very bottom of the tripods are like flat plastic. They do not have a lot of grip to them, but I can’t see that being an issue. Otherwise, they are solid tripods. They function smoothly, and are just like all my other tripods I have currently, and the ones from my past. You screw to tighten into position, and it holds well. You attach each lamp base to the tripod, screw in the lightbulb, and thread the umbrella through the lamp base as well. It’s pretty easy to do. If you are new to this system like I am, it’s a test and see situation with where to angle the lights and umbrellas to achieve the desired lighting. I’m sure a pro can do it in minutes. The umbrellas are made well. They open and close with ease. One of my umbrellas had the end cap fall out a couple times. I glued it back in, and I no longer have issues. The material is in perfect condition. The bags are constructed well. There was no odor to any part of the kit. All the stitching is tight and on point, and my zippers are performing smoothly. Overall, this is a great kit. It really covers all the basic needs. You can change the light bulbs out for what your preference is for your situations. I am comfortable recommending this product.

A beautiful dress. – Yazaco’s Vintage Swing Dress

Standard

I was so excited to get this dress. I have a lot of fabric sensitivities, and it’s so hard to find a dress nowadays that is not primarily made out of Polyester. I went to JCpennys, Belks, and Sears. Looked online, and Polyester, Polyester, Polyester, is all I saw. I really hate that fabric. Companies are switching to it because it is a cheaper fabric, and dresses snag easier, and wear faster. It means more turnover, and more profit for them. This dress is actually made out of 95% Cotton and 5% Spandex. The dress is just so beautiful. Nothing moves like Cotton, feels like Cotton, or Breathes like Cotton, but Cotton. I was also so relieved that the dress arrived in perfect condition.

 

It really is a quality dress. All of the stitching was done tight and on point. The zipper works perfectly. There were no odors, stains, holes, tears, snags, or imperfections. It is just perfect. Their size chart is off to the side, so do not use Amazon’s size chart. I wear a 36C bra, so I ordered the Large. I never go by waist size. I am short waisted anyhow, lol. But, since this dress either has to go over your hips, or slid on overhead, you need to make sure it can clear your hips or your shoulders. The zipper only goes down to the top of the waist line. I was able to step into this dress with no issues. I did however, need help to fully zip the dress. I couldn’t fully reach the zipper behind me. The zipper stays put on this dress. It won’t slide down on you and be embarrassing. I did not need a slip with this dress either. The front area, along the breast line, wrapped around to the back, is lined. That, and the material is thick enough not to be see thru. It really is made really well. The piping and seaming were done perfectly. I just love it. No, when it comes to washing it, they suggest hand wash only with cool water. Now, I do not hand wash, but I have a machine with no agitator. It’s basically a flat agitator. If you have a washer like that, you could put this dress in a lingerie bag with the zipper on the dress, zipped up. Then, wash it on the delicate setting, alone in the washer; problem solved, lol. The dress measures out at 42” long from the top of the back neckline, to the bottom hem. It’s a great length dress for most women, which is a great attribute to this dress. They offer it in sizes S-XXL, as well as 7 other patterns and design of dress as well. Overall, this is a well-made, beautiful dress. It fits a female figure beautiful, and is figure flattering, and forgiving. We are all not tall bean poles, and this dress doesn’t care.

A great way to be prepared. – BHBody’s Keychain USB Rechargeable Mini Necklace LED Flashlight.

Standard

My family is big into being prepared. It amazes me how many people do not have the basic items in their home, that can help them and their families in an emergency. From my past experience as a nurse, and in life in general, I can say that a lot of emergencies involve the lights going out, or occurring at night. I believe that you should have at least one flashlight per person, in your home, and extras for company, or flashlight failure. We have several different types per person, in our home. This particular flashlight necklace from BHBody is so unique. I love how it has entered the preparedness arena. People wear neck knives, and tools, and now we can add a stunning looking necklace flashlight. My guys love the look. I, as a female, absolutely love the look. It is a great size at 1 ¾”, it’s an easy size to wear. The chain and flashlight are made out of titanium alloy materials. I think the chain is stainless, but I’m not positive. The chain is a 26” chain, and slips right over my head. That is my personal measurement. So, there’s a great chance you won’t have to undo it to put it on and off. That is highly convenient. The length of the chain, also allows you to use the light, without removing it from your neck. Obviously, that won’t be convenient for everything, but it’s a great option. This is a twist on light to, which is quick and silent, in case you need to be silent. Just twist it clockwise to turn it on, and counter clockwise to turn it off. When the light starts to get weak, just plug it into your micro USB, and let it be. It will not overcharge, and there is an LED light that goes from red to green, once it’s fully charged. It took about 30 minutes for my light to charge. You need to supply your own micro USB. Now, the charging port is located under the top of the flashlight. Unscrew it like you are turning it off, but keep on turning until it comes off completely. You will see the micro USB port on the side of the light. This is pretty bright for a tiny light. It puts off 130 lumens of a bright, white light. I love LEDs. They are so much more user friendly. No poisonous chemicals to deal with. They do not break easily when you drop the light, and they last soooo much longer than regular bulbs as well. This LED is a CREE-XP-G2 LED, and is rated for up to 50,000 hours. No matter how many times I see a lifespan of a LED, it always impresses me. I am a bit of a LED nut, lol. What I also find impressive, is that this tiny light is also a dual mode light. It actually has low and high. High is the 130 lumens. When you start to turn the cap to turn it on, it will first reach low mode, and when you keep turning, you will reach the high mode. You can’t miss it. It has an IPX8 waterproof rating, which means that it is water resistant up to 2M, and has an impact resistance rating of 1.5m. So, this means you can use this light in the rain, and if you drop it from standing, it will be fine and dandy. The internal rechargeable battery is an 10180 Li battery. They state that you can change out the battery when it finally goes. The LED will last longer than the battery. I have dropped the light and ran the light under the faucet. I have had no issues with it. I absolutely love it. It would make a great gift, as it even comes in a fancy gift box, that looks just like a jewelry gift box. You do have the option of putting it on your key ring as well, so it’s not stuck as a necklace only. It’s quite the handy and usable flashlight. I really love it.

Silicone bling. – Mens’ Silicone Rings by Rain Alley.

Standard

rain alley silicone rings 1

Silicone has become such a wildly used material, and not just for plastic surgery, lol. It has made its’ way into all venues, and fashion is one of them. When I think of jewelry, I never really think of silicone. But, low and behold, silicone has really made its’ mark in the ring arena. My husband is a commercial electrician, so These rings can be a great, safe alternative for him and his guys to wear on the job. Women never really like it when their guys take their wedding ring off for activities and work, so this set could alleviate that anxiety. These are great if you are heavy into sports or water related activities as well. You won’t have to worry about ruining your jewelry wearing these. This is a set of 5. The colors included are red, blue, grey, green, and black. They are currently offering them in sizes 8 – 12; no half sizes currently. They are very soft to the touch, like I am used to with silicone. They are thick and durable though. You will be hard pressed to hurt these rings unless you actually try to. Silicone is great around electricity, for electricians. It’s a much safer alternative to a metal ring, for sure. It does not naturally harbor fungus, bacteria, or mold either. A great over all material choice. I like the fun vibrant colors. You can even throw them on a chain and wear them on a necklace. The rings are not marked on the inside with what size they are, but they do have the name Rain Alley, on the inside of them. I ordered the size 10, but they are definitely smaller. I have a ring sizer from a Jewelry Store, and the set I received actually are a sz 8. So, they did not fit my husband in the least, unfortunately. The rings arrive in a nice jewelry box, so they would make a nice gift, in that sense. Unfortunately, I do not know if I was sent the wrong size, or if they just run small. Since I received them for review, I did not return them. I would suggest ordering up, and then go from there if the size was off. Fortunately these are fulfilled on Amazon, and they are very easy to work with.

So feminine and beuatiful. – J.Rosée 18K Rose Gold Plated 925 Sterling Silver Bead Charm Link Bracelet and Anklet.

Standard

I love summertime. You can really show off your jewelry during this time of year. Especially your anklets. These two pieces of jewelry from J.Rosee are so feminine and beautiful. I have been nothing but happy with my other J.Rosee jewelry, so I was so happy to be able to review these pieces, and even more excited that they are matching pieces. One piece is a bracelet, and the other is its anklet doppelganger. They may be sold separately, but they make a perfect pair. The pieces are delicate looking, but well made. They are both made out of 925 Sterling Silver, and plated in 18K Rose Gold. So, no matter what, you should me perfectly safe with these, if you have metal sensitivities. I did have problems with my bracelet upon arrival. One strand separated from the clasp, where it was attached. The company was great and sent out a new one. No, they did not just do that because I was reviewing. 99.9% of the time, I do not get a replacement if something is wrong. Amazon does not replace broken items for reviewers. So, I was very happy to see the integrity of this company be so high. They wanted to learn and see if their design had any weaknesses. I actually have been sleeping in the anklet, as well, to see how durable it was, while waiting for my new bracelet. It is made the same, only longer. It has held up perfectly. I do say, that the anklet fits me perfectly, but it just fits. If you have larger ankles, this one may not be for you. If you have lager wrists, then this might be perfect as a bracelet for you. It is a feminine and beautiful piece and would look great as your bracelet. The plating was done well on the pieces, and have even put up with me showering with them on, lol. I really tested them out. When my replacement bracelet arrived, I was able to play with it and put it on without any problems. It fit well, and has put up with the same testing as the anklet. I have yet to remove the anklet, lol. I slept and showered with the bracelet on as well. It has held up wonderfully. I even picked up and moved some furniture today, and both pieces go unscathed. They are very comfortable pieces to wear as well. With the extender, the anklet measures out at approx.. 9 ¾”, and the bracelet with the extender measures out at approx. 7 ½”.  So, they will fit the average person without issue. I can’t express enough how much I love this set. I never sleep in bracelets or anklets. This set is very lightweight and comfy. I love how it matches too. It’s beautiful, and well made jewelry.

Sweet and Stylish. – Tom David Lewis’ 8 Piece Set of Holiday Bracelet Charms & Pin.

Standard

My mom loves wearing pins. It’s an accessory she has always loved. I was excited to receive this set to review for her. Since it’s a pin, you don’t have to worry about what metal type it’s made out of, which makes it an easy gift to give. Included in this set is 1 pin, and 7 charms. The pin is the shape of a bow, and in a gold tone. The charms, although highly decorated, are also a gold tone as well. The charms are holiday related and are pretty darn cute. Included in this set is: 1 Santa, 1 Valentine Charm, 1 Easter Charm, 1 Pumpkin Charm, 1 Red. White, & Blue Hat Charm, 1 Turkey Charm, and 1 Mother’s Day/Father’s Day Charm. They are really solid too; not bendy at all! All charms are approximately 1 to 1 ½” long too. They are a good size, I think. Not too big, where they can be gaudy, but not too small, where it will go unnoticed while you are wearing it. The Mother’s Day/Father’s Day pin is so cute. It says I love you so you can wear it anytime. The Mom and dad are labeled Mom and Dad though, in case that does not fit your family. You could still use the other charms though. The charms are really easy to put onto the pin. The pin has a spring clasp dangling from the middle of it. Just open the spring clasp and put your charm on it. That’s it; so easy. Just make sure you are facing the charm the right way, lol. I keep putting them on backwards the first time. The clasp on the pin is very tight and secure. Don’t over bend it though, or you’ll break it. It’s going to pin onto thinner material the best, since the backing of the pin is small. Overall, it’s a solid set. You really can’t beat it for the price. My mom is very excited about it. She wore the 4th of July pin this whole holiday weekend.

Yoga with a little flare. – Poshsquares’ Women’s Fashion Wide Leg Flare Comfy Yoga Pants.

Standard

I rarely wear yoga pants when I head out on the town, but I wear them at night and to sleep. They are quite comfy!. I was interested in this pair, they looked so different from the basic pair of yoga pants. These have a flared leg, instead of the tight legs, which are a lot dressier, and more relaxed. The material they are made out of is clearly printed on the label as well, which is nice. I’ve received other clothing items in the mail, and there has been no material listed at all. These pants are made out of 95% Rayon and 5% Spandex. So, they won’t shrink on you, and are comfortable against your skin. My yoga pants arrived with no odor to them at all either. That was a big relief for me. With my asthma and allergies, I am very sensitive to fabric that has been heavily treated in chemicals. I’ll tell you what’s hard to believe. They have these pants available in 35 different colors. Lol, I ordered black, my favorite color with yoga pants. I mean, I don’t have any in any other color. To top it off, they are also made here in the USA. I love that!. I can say that these pants have unique laundering instructions for them. They suggest hand washing them, and line drying them. They also say to never iron them. Let me say, I am a machine wash kind of gal, so that’s what I did. Yes, I am rebellious, lol. They came out just fine. The material is soft though, so make sure there is nothing that will snag them if you do. I also do not have an agitator in my machine, and that does make a difference. I am only 5’3”. The inseam is 31” long, and the waist, straight across is 12”, not stretched out. These are my measurements with my tape measure. These are too long for me to wear out and about, but are perfect for hanging around the house in the evening. I will say, that being 5’3”, and the pants having a flared leg, that these pants make you look thicker than you really are. I wear a size small too. So, you need to make that personal choice on your own. Now, all of the stitching on my yoga pants was done tight and on point. I had no snags, holes, stains, or tears. I do have to admit, they are very comfy on. They also, do allow you great freedom of movement like yoga pans are supposed to.
