Jewelry by Justine! Review

Hi Everyone, I have another jewelry review for all of you today! Today we will be getting a closer look at an online jewelry store by the name of Jewelry By Justine. I discovered this shop on instagram and instantly fell in love with everything that was posted on their page. The shop owner told me she would be sending me a piece to review, and when this arrived on my door step I was super excited because this was my favorite piece that was listed on their webpage!

 

 

First before we get into the review of the actual jewelry piece we have to discuss the packaging and how it was sent to me. I was impressed with the super fast shipping first of all.  By the time we talked I felt like this arrived just a few days after which was pretty nice as well. It arrived in an adorable little box, and then the necklace itself was in a bag to help keep it more secure. I love when jewelry is shipping in boxes like these, because I usually end up hanging on to them for either myself later down the road, or when you have gifts to give that are jewelry items. I also put them in boxes because it makes them look so much nicer, so it's always good to have a few of these empty boxes laying around, you never know when you might need one!

 

Inside each package that you receive from Jewelry by Justine you will also receive a little paper on the care instructions which is extremely helpful. I also purchase my jewelry online and I never know how to clean it. Especially when it doesn't come with the instructions. Cleaning jewelry makes me nervous in general because I always think I am going to mess something up lol. I can reassure myself that with this one I wont mess it up because it came with instructions :)

 

This is the item I was sent to review as you can see this is a pineapple necklace and I am so in love! Jewelry by Justine has a few different pineapple necklaces listed on their site for sale but this one is called "MAMA PINA NECKLACE". This is the biggest pineapple one for sale and I think its perfect. Pineapples are my favorite fruit ever, and having them be so adorable just gives me another reason to why there my favorite lol. I love this piece because it really screams summer time, which is something I absolutely cant wait for. Living in Florida I love having pieces that are in the tropical category because these are pretty perfect to wear year long.

Retails:($60.00)

 

Here is a close up of the actual pendant it self. I know it's probably hard to tell from this picture, but this pineapple isn't solid which is something else I really like about it. It has small holes throughout the piece, which makes this super lightweight and really comfy in wearing. I hate wearing jewelry that is big and chunky and this is so not! I would consider this to be more of delicate. Delicate necklace are really in style right now as well.  I am typically not a huge fan of gold and I never wear it but in this case I love it! I actually don't think I would like this necklace in silver. I think the gold is just beautiful and really makes the pineapple pop!

 

The description for this item on the website is:

"14k gold-filled chain. Mama pina is vermeil which is 14k gold plated over sterling silver. Length is 20"

 

You don't have to worry about this turning your neck green, or getting yucky which is a huge plus as well. I love the length of the necklace as well. I think the 20 inch chain is perfect for pretty much anyone. It isn't too long and it isn't too short either. I think most people would be happy with the length of this chain too. I am pretty in love with this piece and think this is a high quality jewelry piece. I have been wearing it for a few days and haven't taken it off, and I'm pretty surprised with how well it's holding up! I will definitely be wearing this a lot during the summer and that's for sure!

 

 

I highly suggest checking this online store out for yourself. I'm almost certain you will find something that you can't live without. There are so many gorgeous pieces you will fall in love with!

String Beans Inc! Review

For today's review I will be showing you a few different items from an etsy shop by the name of String Beans Inc. This shop is filled with all types of wonderful items. Her shop is truly adorable and has some one of a kind pieces that blow my mind. Here you can find jewelry, sunglasses, purses, décor and so much more. She does such an amazing job at offering something for pretty much everyone. I'm almost certain you will be able to find something in this shop you just cant live without so I suggest checking it out for yourself :)

 

The very first item I will be sharing with all of you today is this bib style of necklace. I must say this isn't something I would typically wear but I love it. This would look great with so many different looks and you could really dress this up or even dress it down too. The fact that it's black too makes styling this piece a lot easier as well. This would look great with so many different colors, or even with just a black outfit too.

 

The thing that I really like about this necklace is that you tie it. You don't have to worry about fussing with a tiny clip to get this necklace on and off which can be a huge pain at times. I hate asking for help when putting on jewelry to be honest lol, so this makes it so much easier for me. I wont have to ask for help when wearing this which is a huge bonus for me!

 

This necklace is super light weight, it might not look like it is, but it truly is. I was quite surprised how light and comfy it would be. I thought this necklace was going to be kind of itchy too because I just figure on the back of the necklace it would be scratchy from the rhinestones, but the back of this necklace is completely flat. When this is laid against your chest you can hardly feel it

Retails:($15.00 not the same necklace but a very similar style)

 

Next up we have two pairs of earrings to take a closer look at. She sent me two of the same pair of earrings just different colors. These are stud style earrings, which are probably my favorite because you can literally wear these with anything. These match with everything and they are so easy to wear, and they are usually super comfortable as well. I never last a day or night ir I am wearing big earrings, the only ones that I usually end up keeping in my ears are studs. In my opinion you can never have to many right lol. The studs that she sent me are in a bronze/brown color and a blue color. They both have a matte finish to them which is super popular right now. I think the colors she sent me are gorgeous. I'll probably get the most use out of the blue ones, just because I think these are going to be perfect for the spring and summer time.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/266603151/double-sided-earrings-fresh-onyx-with?ref=shop_home_active_1

Retails:($5.00 for one pair)

 

The thing that really makes these stand our from your traditional stud earrings, is that these are pretty much two earrings in one! The backs of these you could easily flip around and were them reversed. I have seen some of these before and have been curious about them to be quite honest. I love the whole concept of these, just because you can get so much wear out of them and you get two different looks. They are pretty similar, but then again really different too. I am super excited about these.

 

The next item I have for you all today is this gorgeous necklace. I was unable to find the link for this one or something similar to this so please bare with me. Out of all the items she sent me I think this has to be my favorite one. This is gold necklace with silver crystal accents. I think it is truly gorgeous. I'm not typically a fan of gold, but in this case I am. The actual chain of this necklace is pretty heavy duty and seems pretty durable. This is another piece you could wear a million plus ways. These are the types of jewelry piece I am a big fan of. I like being able to wear my jewelry with all kinds of outfits, that is important to me. 

 

Here's a close up of the actual necklace so you can see the crystals on this piece. As you can see this is gorgeous. This is bib type style of necklace too which is one my new discovered favorites. I have to say I wore this out one time and was impressed with the quality of this piece. I received a million compliments as well on this. I do have to say I don't recommend wearing this when it's cold lol The metal gets freezing! This is a pretty heavy piece, but it is really comfortable as well.

I bet you will never guess what's inside this coral colored pouch..... lol

 

Sun glasses! Lol I'm sure you all guessed that from the picture above. Anyways she sent me this pair of gorgeous glasses that I am kind of obsessing over at the moment. This is totally outside my comfort zone completely. I usually wear aviators and that's all that I stick with. I am sooooo loving these however. It's not everyday you find glasses like these. They are so different and so funky which is why I really love them. The round style is such a hot trend right now.

 

https://www.etsy.com/listing/268023581/sunglasses-big-round-clear?ref=shop_home_active_8

Retails:($20.00 not the exact glasses but the same style)

 

I love the gold accents on the front of these it adds a little pizzazz to the glasses which is important of course. As you can see from the sides of these glasses they are covered in different colors.  It isn't in your face however. It isn't noticeable right at first but once you look at them you will start to notice. There are hints of pinks, blue, reds, oranges, and white. These are going to be perfect for summer time because they are going to match with some many outfits. Another thing I really like is that these glasses are super sturdy. The plastic that these are made out of is super durable and really thick. I am notorious for breaking sunglasses, but I'm sure these will stand up to my roughness with glasses which is really exciting!

 

I am in love with everything that I received from this shop! Everything has amazing quality, and everything is super trendy and stylish. Her prices are amazing as well. I would highly suggest having a look for yourself :)

Fashletics! Review & Coupon Code

 

I have another awesome review for you all today on something a little different, which is exciting! Today I will be reviewing a company by the name of Fashletics. This is an online store that creates some amazing jewelry pieces that are inspired by the passion for fitness. All the pieces on this website contain some type of fitness related pieces. I have never seen jewelry quite like this before. I love the message behind every piece on their site and that is SRENGTH

 

 

The amazing people at Fashletics let me choose one piece of jewelry from their online website to review and let me just tell you this was a very hard task to do, just because everything that is listed on their site is adorable! Inside my package contained two little cards the first one which is listed below contained some information on the company it self. I learned from reading this card that every piece of jewelry is hand made which is unbelievable. This makes me love this online store so much more lol. The other card that was included has a coupon code for all of you guys to use! I will make sure to include all that info at the bottom of this review for all of you to use to get your very own piece of jewelry from this store.

 

Each piece comes in it's own box. This is extremely important to me when buying jewelry online. I'm always curious to how something will be shipped and it's something that truly does say a lot about a company and how much they care about packaging their products up for their customers. The fact that their pieces come in small boxes really gave them an extra brownie point from me!

 

 

Like I said earlier in this blog post I had a really hard time picking out an item to review because I loved so many of them that were listed. This is the one I decided to go with because I felt like I would wear this one most often. This piece of jewelry is called the fearless spike which is pretty self explanatory to what this necklace looks like. As you can see from this picture it looks like a long spike. This spike measures to be 2.5 inches long. I would definitely say this would be a statement piece. I love how the chain that I received with my necklace is a really long one as well. Long necklaces are my favorite. For some reason if long necklaces aren't your thang, then have no fear! You can get whatever chain size is best for you! They have them in 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and 30 inches so I'm sure you will be able to find the best size that is right for you and for your style!

 

http://fashletics.com/products/fearless-spike

Retails:($75.00)

 

Here is a side view of the necklace so you can see the word FEARLESS on the side. This necklace was hammered with the word fearless on it which is pretty cool. This means not all the necklaces are going to be identical which is probably my favorite part about it. It may have some flaws in it but that is just because this was hand made which is incredible.  From the side of this necklace you can see some hammer marks, which really gives this necklace some of it own character which I really enjoy. If this is your style of jewelry and your not a huge fan of the word fearless that isn't a huge worry either! They have a few more of these listed in their shop with words such as love, strength and few others, which gives you some more options to pick from. These necklaces are made from gun metal and sterling silver so you wont need to worry about these babies tarnishing which is the best part! These necklaces are made to last which is fabulous as well.

 

I love the whole idea behind the meaning these jewelry piece. Strength and fitness is such an important part of your life, and if doesn't happen to be it really should be. I think these would be great pieces to wear when you are working out to give you some extra motivation to keep you going which is so important because it's so easy to feel defeated at times. You just have to remember to keep on going!

 

 

The people at Fashletics were so nice to send me my own coupon code for all of you out there! Make sure you use "DaniiBabii" for 15% off your entire purchase!

Acid Octopus! Review

 

Today I have a review for all of you on an Etsy shop by the name of Acid Octopus. This shop is filled with a ton of fun and unique jewelry pieces. I am really excited to share with you all what was sent to me to review so lets get into this review!

 

 

 

The item that was sent to me as you can tell is a necklace. The pendant on this necklace is a little different from other jewelry that I have. The image on this necklace is the moon and it's gorgeous I love the color scheme for this necklace. It's black/grey which makes the metal of this necklace go perfectly with the piece. I love how well they go together. The metal of this necklace is like a gun metal color which I do really like. I think she did an amazing job at creating this piece. It really is unique and I can promise you that your not going to see a lot of people who have this necklace which makes it that much for special. I love standing out from the crowd. With this piece I will be able to just do that.

The chain that comes with this necklace is 60 cm long which is about 24 inches. This is a really long chain, which is right around what I like for my necklaces. Not too long and not too short either it's pretty perfect for me!

 

I am super impressed with this piece that I got :)

I love it so much and it's going to go well with so many outfits that I own. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes one of a kind pieces. I highly recommend going to check out her shop for yourself!

JDzigner! Review

 

I have a review for all of you today on an online store by the name of JDzigner. This jewelry designer creates several amazing pieces and she was able to send one to review which is awesome. Her online store is filled with all types of jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces, earrings. She even has an assortment of clothes such as leggings and dresses. Also there's even home décor item such as clocks, and coasters. This shop owner makes some pretty amazing things and has such a huge range which I just love. For the review today she sent me one of her aluminum cuff bracelets to try out and give my opinion on for you. So lets get into the review!

 

 

 

The bracelet that she sent me to review is in an adorable pink camo print which I love. Camo is pretty popular and I love how this is pink, it really has a nice girly feel to it which is what I am all about lol. Before I get on with reviewing the actual bracelet I have to first start off by saying this bracelet was shipped inside a small clear bag as you can see in the picture above. This was such a great idea, just to ensure that it arrived in perfect condition which is really did.

 

I was unable to find the actual link for this particular bracelet but I did include a link to the same bracelet just in a different pattern. The link I included is one of my favorite ones she has listed on her site, it reminds me a lot of Vera Bradley, so make sure you check this link out and have a look for yourself. I'm sure you will agree with me :)

Back to the bracelet review now. As you can see from this picture this bracelet is actually pretty thick. I was kind of surprised to be honest with you. I have several types of bracelets that are super similar to this style, but I can assure you I have never seen one quite like this before. Most of the ones that I already own are super flimsy and really thin. This one is super sturdy, which to me is really important when It comes to me jewelry. This honestly feels like a piece I could wear over and over again and It would never wear out. I wear jewelry a whole lot so having a piece like this is awesome.

 

 

I am super impressed with not only the quality of this bracelet but also how it looks. I absolutely am in love with the style of this bracelet. This isn't something you would see everyday and its definitely not something you see all the time in the stores. I love being a little different and standing out from the crowd and I think with owning this piece it will really help with that. I love how this bracelet is so versatile. You can really wear this to achieve a lot of different looks, you can dress this up or dress it down too which is awesome and I love pieces like this because they making styling so much easier. I wore this bracelet a few time already and I received so many compliments on it which always in nice to hear :)

 

Overall this bracelet is amazing hands down. It's really cute and pretty. It's really study and heavy duty and its just a nice piece to have. I would highly recommend checking these out on her website along with all her other items she has for sale. This shop owner is extremely talented and makes some amazing pieces. I am so honored that I got to work with her and I really hope to work with her again in the future.

CraftyToucanShop! Review!

 

I have a review for all of you today on online shop on Etsy that goes by the name of CraftyToucanShop! The shop owner is super talented and makes all kinds of home décor items. They all are truly amazing and pretty unique. I was browsing her site and found these awesome necklace holders and told her my interest in reviewing one of these. I told her about my love for Disney and this is what she came up with.

 

 

I am so blessed that she made this custom piece just for me. I am truly in love with this and I plan on using this right away. As you can see her clever little jewelry holders are made on hangers, which to me is a pretty genius idea for a few different reasons. The main reason why I love this being on a hanger is because you can hang this in your closet too! There are several ways you can display this piece but to save space you could honestly place this in your closet and use this to hang up all your jewelry. In my opinion I don't want to store this in my closet just because I want to be able to see it all times. I think this is a piece that needs to be out on display.

 

As you can see from the pictures she placed this adorable Minnie Mouse figurine in the center of the hanger to add a little pizazz to the hanger and I just love it. I think it was really the perfect finishing touch to make this piece scream Disney, which now it does. I love all the small details she included on this piece as well. I love the white flowers she added through out the entire hanger, it really adds just decoration to the piece and I love it. I also like the background she placed behind Minnie Mouse it adds the perfect pop of color and it really makes the pink stand out.

 

On each side of the hanger there are 9 small hooks. This is a total of 18 hooks which is a lot! You could probably hang a few necklaces on each hook too if you needed. This piece really does store a lot which is amazing. I plan on using this piece to hang my favorite necklaces up. I can see you being able to use this a lot of different ways too not even jewelry. This would be an amazing piece to use to hang your keys on by the front door or even to use it to hang up all your scarfs during winter. The possibilities are truly endless with this piece. I cant wait to hang this up and start using it.

 

I decided to take a picture of the back just to show you what kind of work is done with these. As you can see this piece is complelty flawless from the behind. She does such an amazing job at creating these, she makes sure they are perfect, even the back which is awesome. This shows a lot about the shop owner and what kind of work she produces.

 

 

I am beyond impressed with my jewelry hanger. I want to thank Crafty Toucan for allowing me to review this product. I truly love this piece and cant wait to use it! Your work is amazing and I know you shop is going to take you very far!

CreationTop! Review!

 

Today I have  review on a shop I have worked with in the past. The name of this online store is called CreationTop. They have their online store through Etsy. They have some amazing products. Like I stated in the beginning of this review I have worked with this company in the past and I am still in love with what they sent me last time. This company is known for the jewelry. I think there most popular items are the customized beads/charms. They have a wide range of inventory for Pandora bracelets. They sell these beads at super inexpensive prices and the quality is just as good, or even a little better then the quality of Pandora itself. This company really stuck out to me when I seen the option on their website to customize beads. You can take literally whatever photograph you want and place it on a bead. It's pretty awesome and super unique. This time for the review I have two products I will be reviewing and both of them are a little different from each other and I'm so excited to share them both with you today.

 

First I need to state by saying every bead that you order from the company comes in boxes, which is really nice I must add. The very first bead I have for you is one of their Pandora knock-offs. If I am correct I'm pretty sure Pandora has a bead that looks pretty identical to it. I love my Pandora bracelet but I never seem to buy beads for it very often because of the price of each bead it gets pricey. It really gets expensive if you are into the Disney beads like I am. When I seen this on their website I just had to review it for you all. I was super curious to how the quality would be. I must say this bead is gorgeous. I was actually kind of surprised how pretty this bead is in real life. It had small silver rhinestones all over the front and also has some pink accents as well. This bead is made out of .925 silver so you don't have to worry about this tarnishing or turning funny colors which is great as well. I am soo happy with this bead and I can easily tell that this bead will last me forever.

The next bead I have up is one of their customized beads. Of course I went with another Disney style bead. I told the owner of the shop I wanted a picture of the castle on the bead and this is what they came up with! I am so impressed and I love this image so much! The clarity  of the image is awesome as well. It looks perfect and I just love this. This is a little diffwerent then the other customized bead I reviewed previously. This one is a dangle style, which I just love. I think it's very unique. I love how around the image there is a gold boarder. I think it's pretty cool to have both metals in one beads, just because they will go with either colored bracelet. This bead is 18k gold plated and silver plated as well. I can honestly say that I am super impressed with both of these beads!

Here is the link to the review where I featured this shop before:

http://danilonkey.blogspot.com/2015/08/creationtop-on-etsy.html

 

The item that I reviewed in my previous blog post was the same kind of item. It was a personalized bead. I received this bead in August of 2015 and let me just tell you the bead is in perfect condition still. I was worried about some of the rhinestones falling out but they haven't yet, and I'm the type of person where I never take off my jewelry...ever. I sleep and shower in it, and its still perfect. This shop is amazing with great one of a kind products. I will continue to stand behind them 100% and wish them the best with their shop and I hope you check them out as well!

OnceUponABowtiqueUK On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide! Review!

 

I have so many great bows to review for all of you today from a shop called OnceUponABowtique.

 

 

The first bow I have to review for all of you today is this Little Mermaid inspired one. I have seen a lot of pretty similar bows to this one, but not one quite like this. I love the size of this one. It's not to big and not to small, so this bow is super easy to wear which is nice. She did an amazing job at including the perfect colors for this bow. The green represents her tail, the purple for her clam bra, and the red of course is for her hair! She even placed a small fork on the bow for the perfect finishing touch or should I say a Dinglehopper lol. This bow is so adorable I love it.

 

 

Next up we have a Buzz Light-year inspired bow from the Disney classic Toy Story. I am amazed by the amount of detail she included in this bow. She made the bow out of green, purple and white. The perfect colors to represent his outfit which is pretty cool. For the perfect finishing touch she included some glitz and glam! To make the buttons! They are so spot on to the real thing it is incredible. It looks just like him!

 

Next we have two identical bows, and these are a different style of bow. These are a lot smaller then the 2 previous ones I have reviewed and these are actually attached to small hair elastics. I love how she makes these kinds as well, because these are going to be perfect for when I just want to put my hair up. These are going to make it easier! The design of these two are Marie from the Aristocats, she is one my favorites! I can so picture these being at the end of some little girls pig tails, I think it would be adorable!

 

This is a smaller bow, and this one is one a small hair clip. This is actually the same sized bow as the Marie ones, but instead it is on a hair clip. The design for this one is Palace pets, which I'm sure most of you have heard of before. In case you haven't its just the Disney princesses that have their own adorable little pets. I love the colors in this tiny bow, this is going to go perfect with a lot of my Disney outfits.

 

 

Next we have a Lion King bow on a hair elastic. I love this one. This is the perfect bow for me, just because this is the type of hair elastic that I typically use in my hair. I normally need a thicker band, sense I have so much hair, and this one just has the perfect pizazz to show off my Disney spirit. I love how this bow is mostly made up of the color orange. I don't typically wear orange so it's nice to have some extra variety to add to my bow collection :)

 

Next we have probably my favorite bow that she sent! This one is inspired by Simba from The Lion King. This is probably the most adorable bow I have ever seen! It has an adorable little tail lol and I am obsessed lol. I think this shows the shop owners creativity for sure. I have seen several Lion king bows, and actually several Simba bows as well, but I can honestly say I have not seen one like this before. I am so excited to wear this one!

 

 

This Mickey inspired bow is up next! The colors in this one are black and red with small accents of white and yellow. I think the colors are spot on. She did a great job at capturing Mickey mouse and creating it in a bow. I love how she placed 2 small buttons on this bow, one of each side. These look just like the buttons he has on his pants!

 

 

Next up we have a Frozen inspired bow. The fabric of this bow is an adorable print of Anna, and I love it! This is another one that is pretty simple to wear. It's attached to thicker hair elastic. I'm actually planning on gifting this one, to the little girl that I babysit for. She is obsessed with Anna so I'm sure she is going to love this one.

 

This Dumbo one is up next! This is another one that is pretty basic bow. This one is attached to a really thin hair elastic. I am sooooo beyond excited to wear this one lol. I have a huge Dumbo fan and to de honest all of the bow I have found that are Dumbo I am no usually a fan of, but this one I really enjoy! I love the colors in this one. I typically wear lighter color clothes so this is going to be perfect!

 

For the grand finale we have a Frozen bow that is gorgeous! This one is a totally different style from the others I have reviewed. This one is gorgeous, and you can tell how much work she put into creating this bow. This bow has several different prints of ribbons and they all go together beautifully. In the center of the bow is bottle cap styled pendant with the Frozen logo. The next layer is ribbon with toddler versions of Anna and Elsa and its adorable. As accents in this bow she included fabrics with the color scheme of blue. There is plain blue ribbon in this bow, along with snowflake fabric, and striped blue ribbon as well. All of these ribbons go so perfectly together its beautiful. This bow really does look like a winter wonderland and I cant wait to wear this around Christmas time this is going to be perfect.

 

I am so incredibly grateful for this shown owner to send me these amazing bows to review for all of you! She is incredibly talented and these are by far the best bows that I have reviewed here on my blog. She does an amazing job with each bow that she creates. I love how she creates such a huge variety of different styles and also different Disney characters.

 

I highly recommend this shop and really suggest checking it out, I promise you wont be disappointed.

 

These would be great gifts for any Disney Lover :)
