FourSeasonsSieraden On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received a pretty cool product from shop on Etsy by the name of FourSeasonsSieraden

She sent me this pretty cool customizable snap bracelet. I have seen these a few other places, but I really like the look of this bracelet that she chose to send for the review. This isn't a very big bracelet i'ts actually pretty small. So this is piece of jewelry you could use to stack with other pieces that you wear from day to day. I love how you open and close this bracelet. You simple put the loop around the piece that is elevated with the charm on it and goes around it perfectly. It's actually really easy to put on and off which is nice as well, because I hate when you have a bracelet and you need to ask someone to put on for you, its probably one of my biggest pet peeves lol

Retails:$6.50)

As you can see these little charms are just like buttons. You just snap it and Boom you are done. They are very easy to pop in and out of the bracelet which is pretty cool, because you can swap the little charms in and out from time to time when you get bored with the current one that you are wearing.

So with this bracelet she included to little snap in charms, the first one is the really cute cheetah print. Anyone who knows me knows that I love cheetah print lol. I have it everywhere and so it will continue with my jewelry now as well lol.

The next one is this super blinged out rhinestone one. This one has small pink rhinestones over the entire thing. Its gorgeous and I love the way to sparkles in the light. I actually have been wearing this charm the most and I was worried when picking this one, that I would have to worry about the little rhinstones out, and I haven't had any fall out and I have been wearing this quite a lot lately lol, these rhinestones are really stuck in there so you really have no reason to worry about loosing one of them.

Overall I'd say I'm super impressed with the quality of this bracelet, this is bracelet that I wil be wearing it pretty much everyday and I love the fact that you change it from time to time, or make it perfect for a certain outfit.

These would be great gifts for any female, you personalize it to their own liking which is pretty cool :)

I highly recommend checking this shop out

KittyKatCraftsShop On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

Today I have an amazing phone case to review for all of you today from a shop on Etsy by the name of KittyKatCraftsShop

She made me this amazing phone case for my phone. My phone is an Iphone 6 plus, so this is a pretty big case. I gave her a basic idea on what I wanted and she created this. I am amazed by the outcome of this case. I never expected it to be this gorgeous. All that I told her I wanted on this one is that I wanted it to be really pink, with a big bow. I didn't want a super crazy phone case because they can get heavy and pretty bulky especially on a phone like mine.

Just by telling her what I wanted she did perfect in making a case that I would love! All she used to make this one were half pearls, rhinestones, and one big bow. I love how she chose to keep everything pink, it looks so girly and I love it!

She also did a really good job at filling in every single place on this entire phone case. Every tiny hole is covered up by small rhinestones. I can't even imagine how much time this took to make. It's not easy either. I tried making these for a while, and I never got the hang of it, this takes a lot of time and patience. 

Everything is placed done really nicely as well. I was kinda worried about pieces coming off, but nothing has come off yet at all, not even a small rhinestone. I have used this phone case ever sense I got it in the mail and I can't complain. I have gotten so many compliments on this case its crazy!

These phone cases would be perfect for anyone! This day in age everyone has a smart phone. This shop makes any style phone case, and you can personalize them for anyone's liking.

I have actually featured this shop one other time on my blog. I reviewed another phone case. Check out that blog posting here:

OnceUponADreamEars On Etsy! Holiday Gift Guide Review!

I received some one of a kind Minnie Mouse Ears from a shop on Etsy by the name of OnceUponADreamEars 

This shop owner is truly amazing and talented. I gave her an idea on something that I wanted for my birthday and she went above and beyond my expectations for these ears. I pretty much told her something that screamed "ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!" and had lots of pink in them. I think she nailed it pretty perfectly what do you think? Lol. She covered each ear in rhinestones, there are 2 shades of pink and a really gorgeous turquoise blue. These colors work really well with each other, she also attached two  small adorable cupcakes to each ear, These match the ears perfectly and go really good with the Birthday theme.

For the bow in the center she make it out of light pink little flowers, then on top of those is small sparkley heart with a silver crown. She did an incredible job with including such small details with these ears. In the back of these ears she also included a foam crown which is the perfect finishing touch. I am absolutely in love with shop and the products that she made.

She made these on a felt covered headband so they are super comfortable to wear! Which I was worried about sense these do have a lot going on with them lol. There actually pretty light weight which is really surprising to me.

 In the process of this order I also bought some more ears from her.. those will be coming soon in an upcoming blog so stay tuned.

I highly suggest checking this shop out she has tons of ears, and I'm sure you will find the perfect ones!

These ears in this shop are the perfect gift for any big Disney fan you may know 

(*Hint hint to all my friends out these this is what I want for Christmas lol*)

But seriously check this shop out here:

Wicked Designs on StorEnvy!

I received a really gorgeous necklace from Wicked Designs on StorEnvy!

She sent me this adorable Minnie Necklace.

http://www.storenvy.com/products/7171877-tinkerbell-necklace-tink-necklace

Retails:($34.00)

Inside the necklace there is red sparkly background, with a Minnie head and at the bottom is says Minnie as well. Inside there are small little beads that move around which is really cool. The beads inside look like small crystals, and these in the colors red, black and clear which match really good with this entire necklace. This necklace remind me a lot of the Origami Owl's that are pretty popular right now.

She also even included a few little charms that hang on top on the actual necklace. The first charm is heart charm that says "made with love". The  other charm is little purse that matches the necklace perfectly. She also included a few little bead dangles as well (these are the same beads that are inside the necklace as well)

The chain on this is very nice as well, its rally long and feels extra sturdy which is awesome. While browsing through this shop I found lots of pieces that caught my eyes ans this style of necklace was one of them! When I received this in the mail I was amazed by the size of this, its pretty big and I really wasn't expecting that when I was looking at these.

Inside the package she also included this bookmark which has all of her information on. I thought this was really adorable and really creative, and I wanted to share it with you all :)

Overall I'm amazed by this shop. I have been thinking about getting a origami owl necklace for so long and i'm so glad I didn't. They are super over priced and don't even have any Disney charms which is a real bummer, but I found a much better alternative. These necklaces are so much better, they feel really durable and they are super custom as well.

I highly recommend checking this shop out for yourself!

TraceysBagsAndBows on Etsy!

I received a gorgeous one of a kind bow from a shop on Etsy by the name of TraceysBagsAndBows

She sent me a gorgeous Disney Inspired personalized bow!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/217341632/minnie-mouse-cheer-bow-black-and-hot?ref=shop_home_active_3

Retails:($19.00)

This bow is absolutely gorgeous, it has so many sparkles all over it, which I just adore! When I was looking throughout her shop I got super excited because every bow that she has is just so gorgous! She has a huge selection in her shop

The bow that she sent me is personalized just for me! In the top left corner of this bow it has a Minnie Mouse head and has my name written in the Disney font.

In the bottom right corner it has in silver sparkles, the Cinderella castle.

Just when you think there couldn't be any more bling she added some more!

In the center of this bow she included some rhinestones, that I might add are perfectly placed.

She also included little rhinestones all over the pink parts of this bow.

This material isn't made out of  basic ribbon like most bows on Etsy, this material is really thick and not flimsy at all. This bow is super sturdy which is awesome because most bows that I have aren't exactly the best quality so I'm always scared of them breaking, but with this one I'm not at all.

This bow is attached with just a basic hair elastic, which is great because I always wear my hair in a pony tail.

These bows are huge let me just tell you! I was so shocked when this arrived in the mail, becuase it truly is big. I'm so excited to wear this to Disney next time I go, I know for a fact I'm going to get so many compliments on this.

Make sure you check her shop out here!
