So ... Monday got away from me. It happens. What are ya gonna do? The first day of the work week is never fun.
It's Tuesday now ... one more day closer to Friday - holla - and GIVEAWAY TIME!!
Little Blue Olive is a cute little hair accessory shop on Etsy, offering handmade hair bling for gals of all ages. They sponsored a giveaway in my big holiday event in December, and recently sent me some goodies to try out on my own hair.
I was given the opportunity to select 3 items of my choice, so I picked the Double Chiffon Flower Headband in black, the Patina Brass Feather clips, and a Set of Felt Bows in peach and grey.
My package arrived rather quickly (although it didn't have to travel far, being the shop is located within a couple cities from where I live), and each item was individually wrapped up in cute paper and themed labels. Immediately I thought that
Little Blue Olive was going to be a perfect shop to send gifts from, knowing such care would be taken in the presentation right out of the envelope!
I started playing around with the headband first, but quickly realized that I should have chosen a color that didn't match my hair. Whoops! Unless you were up close, you really couldn't see the cute details of the flowers, or that I was even wearing a headband. I had to get creative ... so I wrapped the stretchy band around my ponytail and covered my rubber band with the flowers ... LOVE!!!!
Next up, I used the felt bows to pull the front of my hair back. These little clips have super clamping power and kept my hair in place - no slipping! I love the little bit of girly flair they add to a simple style.
The feather bobby pins are a gorgeous blue color with the brass color that peeks through. They have a sweet antique look to them, and stood out beautifully in my messy updo. These are really sturdy and can pin back chunky pieces.
