Cover Up With The Cleava Snap Camisole Review & Giveaway

One thing I've learned over the years is that I definitely feel more comfortable when I dress modestly. That being said, I have a hard time finding shirts and tank tops that help me achieve this look. I was super excited to get my Cleava products in the mail! I always seem to have such a hard time finding tank tops that cover everything up & look cute!

About Cleava Camisole
These little clip in tops are meant to help cover up your cleavage and they also give you a layered look.They are easy to put on and comfortable. Plus, I learned on their website that Cleava is great for nursing moms, too!

Sounds like just what I was looking for! Well here are just a couple of my attempts:

I don't know what caused it but, no matter what I did they always looked just a little bit bunched. I couldn't get them to pull snug like I needed them too. Otherwise, I really liked this product. It did just what it was supposed to by covering cleavage. I love that I can wear shirts and sweaters that are low-cut without having to wear another complete shirt underneath. Even in the wintertime I get super-hot, so this is a great way to cover up without getting overly hot.

I feel like the Cleava definitely covered what I wanted and needed covered. I love how easy they are to clip in after I've already gotten dressed. I love to change out my tank tops a couple times to make sure I have the one that looks best, so these are perfect for me.

Have you tried Cleava before? Well, here is your chance!

The Edge Tie-Dye Kangaroo Hoodie Shirt Review & Giveaway

Part of me thinks I should have been born in the 60s. I would have definitely been a hippie traveling around in my VW van, flowers in my hair and enjoying every minute of it. Even though I was born in the 80s, there are many things still around and popular today, including Tie-Dye. I love tie-dye shirts and so do my kids. We actually started an art project one day, trying to make our own tie-dye shirts, but ended up with a huge mess and had no idea what we were doing. I think I will leave it up to the professionals, which is why I was so excited to find The Edge Tie Dye Handcrafted Boutique.

About The Edge
We are a completely handcrafted tie dye boutique established in 1990 and we do all of the dying by hand, one piece at a time.  No vats or bulk dying.  Sometimes the cats help.  Our goal is to create affordable and unique wearable art using the highest quality, brand name, cotton & rayon clothing and to make your purchase of massive quantities a pleasant experience.

We use fiber reactive dyes that we custom mix (with magic) to create our unique color patterns.  All of our items are completely colorfast and safe.  We promise no one will turn blue.  All cotton clothing is machine washable with your other darks, in warm or cold water and you can tumble dry. No running, shrinking or fading... guaranteed!

My Thoughts
I was so excited to look through The Edge Tie Dye's awesome selection of tie-dye items and have to admit it was very hard to decide which one I liked the best, especially since there were options for both adults and children. My son, Liam, really wanted one for his own, so the owner was nice enough to send an item for both of us! I received the Kangaroo Hoodie Shirt and he got the long-sleeved t-shirt for kids.

This is Liam wearing his tie dye shirt! We were actually at the hospital for one of his chemo treatments and I chose this shirt because it is so soft and comfortable. Plus, he loves the colors and design! It has been perfect for the cooler winter months we've experienced here in Georgia.

I, on the other hand, am always cold in the winter and am pretty much always wearing a sweatshirt, so I was very excited when I spotted the Kangaroo Hoodie, which is a soft cotton sweatshirt with a hood. It has quickly become my favorite shirt and I wear it weekly. It follows me around the house so I can put it on when I get cold and take if off when I get hot chasing after the boys. It's the most comfortable shirt I own and I love it!

There were many colors from which to choose and also many different designs. I love the swirls, but you can choose from a rainbow, heart, flame or many other designs, too. I really cannot say enough about my shirt and the quality of it. Since I've worn it so often, it has been washed several times and guess what? Just like the guarantee says, the colors have not faded one bit. It's as beautiful and colorful as it was when I received it.

Winter 2013 Best Gloves for Women

For a long time, gloves functioned only as simple hand warmers, but looking at recent fashion shows, we can see that gloves have been important accessories of many outfits. Here are the most outstanding trends in gloves for winter 2013. Regarding the fabrics, leather and wool are the most popular materials, and in terms of style, fingerless gloves promise to rock this winter!

1. Leather Gloves
Leather is one of the most popular trends this winter, from leather apparel such as jackets, pants, and dresses to leather accessories such as gloves and jewelry. Another reason for you to invest in leather items is that they will stay with you for more than one season since this material is always fashionable and long lasting.

Studded gloves will be hot in winter 2013, so gloves like this will keep your hands warm while giving you an attractive look.

3. Fingerless Gloves
Fingerless gloves are cute, dashing, and stylish whether they're made of wool, leather, lace, or fur. Additionally, they're convenient; you can use your fingers to do a lot of tasks without taking them off. Knitwear in fall/winter 2012-2013 is inspired by animal prints and figures, so the first design is the best choice for sweet girls.
Lace is also loved by fashionistas; the leather and lace mittens below are a modern classic and give you a dashing but graceful look.
Fur is also fashionable for everyone. We hardly ever see a glove totally made from fur, but they are commonly added to gloves like in the design below.

I love looking at sleepwear and lingerie, so this was definitely the hardest choice because I wanted everything I found. Finally, I decided on the Drape Chemise. It's so beautiful and has adjustable straps, which I always need.

Now that I have purchased all my new clothing, I'm almost ready to go to the beach! Now comes the less exciting part of packing everything up.
