Rhinestone Birthday Girl Tank Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I'm one of those who likes to announce to everybody when it's my birthday.  I like to make it a big ordeal and wear buttons, hats or anything that says I'm the birthday girl.  I've also learned that this gets me special freebies when out on the town celebrating.

I received a birthday girl rhinestone tank from Advantage Bridal to wear on my big day.  Advantage Bridal is an online retailer of wedding accessories, invitations, party favors, and apparel that specializes in customization.  They offer over 24,000 bridal accessories and thousands of personalized items through their partner sites.

I was very pleased with the birthday girl rhinestone top.  It is a 100% cotton ribbed tank top and comes in sizes S-2XL.  The rhinestone embroidery is very well done.  I haven't lost any rhinestones during washing or wearing like I always do with most other rhinestone shirts I've owned.

This tank is comfortable and can be worn with so many different things.  You can go for a casual look during the day and then dress it up in the evening if you're going out on the town.  I wore mine with some cute jeans and heels.   


Enter below for a chance to win your own birthday girl rhinestone tank.  Giveway is open to U.S. and ends 4/14/14 at 12:00 a.m.  Good Luck to everyone.

New Prom Dresses & Old Memories

     

I remember looking forward to going prom dress shopping with my mom.  Mom enjoyed picking out different suggestions for me and I loved trying them all on for her.  Surprisingly, it never took me too long too find that perfect dress.
 
It was the late 80's after all, and now I can't believe I thought a couple of them were the "perfect" prom dress.  My freshman year I wore a full length, pink and white striped off the shoulder gown.  For some odd reason I can't remember my sophomore prom dress???  Junior year I wore a teal colored short and strapless dress which the green one below reminded me of.

Then for senior year (1990), I wore the lovely black dress pictured to the right and my friend is in the long white.





Even though the styles and trends come and go, it is always fun to shop for your prom dress.

It's also easier and more convenient to shop for prom now with all our technology.  You can view and compare thousands of dresses online and not waste a penny on gas.





JenJenHouse is a great place to shop online for the prom dress of your choice.  They give you several ways to filter your search to make it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. You can choose your length, color, fabric, neckline, style and price all with the click of a button.

Below are just a couple of the dresses that caught my eye from the new arrivals.  View more JenJenHouse new arrivals at http://www.jenjenhouse.com/Prom-Dresses-c18/new-arrival/.

I've always liked the a-line style dress because it gives you the look of both a long and short style.

As you can tell, I seem partial to strapless also.  It makes me feel more glamorous. 

I like the full length fuscia gown below for feeling like a princess on that special night.

Do you remember what color or style your prom dress was?  I would love to hear, just comment below.

Finding A Homecoming Dress

It's homecoming time!  I still remember what a big deal all the homecoming festivities were when I was in school and they still are.  There are different activities scheduled all week leading up to the big game on Friday night.  Then, of course, the traditional homecoming dance ends the week of fun.

After finding a date, the most important thing for a girl is finding "the dress".  I was lucky that my mom worked at local dress shops through my high school years.  I got first pick of the new dresses or I could special order one from the catalog.  Even better for my mom was that she could use her employee discount, which without my choices probably would have been much more limited.

Finding the perfect dress can be quite a process.  There are so many styles, fabrics and colors to choose from.  The styles have really changed over the years.  I must admit, I do like today's homecoming dress styles much better than those of the 80's.  I look back on some of my dance pictures and wonder what the heck I was thinking.  What was with those huge skirts and itchy fabrics anyway?

One way to look for that perfect dress is to start with your favorite color.  My favorite color is red, which is why I really like the dress pictured below I saw on Dress First.  I have always been a fan of the short in front and long in back look also.

I also thought this blue dress with the white sash is pretty.  I think it would look great walking through those big gym doors into the dance.

Dress First is a great website to find these dress styles and so many more.  You can search dresses by occasion, style, length, color, price and more to narrow down your choices.  They are also now offering 60% Off homecomming dresses with free shipping.

I'm sure any girl would have no problem finding the right dress for that big night with hundreds to choose from.  Not to mention saving mom from being dragged around every dress store in the state just to end up back at the first one anyway.

Then don't forget prom season in a few months when the whole process begins again.  Whether you prefer a traditional style, ruffles, or a modern look, Dress First has the one you are looking for.

Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles Review

Would you consider wearing high heels longer or more often if they didn't hurt your feet so much?  Dust off your cutest pair of high heels and try them with Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles. 

These insoles fit in heels 2" and higher and are designed to prevent high heel pain.  The soft gel arch adds cushioning and takes pressure off the ball of your foot.  They are guaranteed to provide immediate and long lasting comfort.

Easily peel off the backing and place them in your shoes.  They are no slip, clear and thin.

It's very confortable and you forget you're even wearing insoles. 

They can be used in any style of heels such as slingbacks, pumps, sandals, etc.  That means you can use them all year, no matter what season it is.
