CoverYourHair.com review + $25 hair accessory giveaway (3/5)

I was recently contacted by CoverYourHair.com and was allowed to try out one of their products as well as share some goodies with my readers (but more about that later)! I picked out the nice slouchy beige Winter Elegant Crochet Beret. Cute, no?


The product arrived super quick, was well packed, and I couldn't be happier with how helpful Linda over at CoverYourHair.com was. The beret is super soft, has a nice, clean knit and theeee peeeerfect amount of slouch. The band on the beret is great too, very stretchy but fits on the head comfortably without being either too loose or too snug. This definitely will be a staple accessory in my wardrobe through the rest of the winter! At $16.99 the beret is very reasonably priced and looks very similar what you would expect from a designer brand. Just check out the gorgeous crocheting:


The slouchy beret style is a favorite among many including Hilary Duff, Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan and Miley Cyrus (items shown on these celebrities are not from CoverYourHair).

Coveryourhair.com also carries a nice variety of headbands, including those of the studded variety- a huge favorite among established and budding fashionistas alike. This pyramid spike studded metallic headband and velvet stone studded headband are available for $4.99 each.



These look similar to the style of headbands Lauren Conrad and Maria Menounos are wearing here (unknown brands, Lauren and Maria not pictured in CoverYourHair accessories):

I could go on and on about the great selection of hair accessories on CoverYourHair.com, but I'd like you to see/experience it for yourself...

CoverYourHair.com was generous enough to offer one of my readers a free $25 box of surprise Hair Accessories!

Paul Smith ceramic rabbits are back!

Awhile back I made reference to Paul Smith's ceramic bunnies which I was lamenting never picking up... well, turns out a new batch are finally available. The new batch-o-bunnies comes in metallic purple, red, and gold and each retails for £55.00. I don't think I like these as much as the matte versions but I'm dying for a purple one!

My favorite T-shirt : Artevist's "Ride A Bike For Clean Air"

Over the past few months my favorite shirt has become Artevist's "Ride a Bike for Clean Air" T-shirt by Sachi. I looove the fun, unique graphic and the cotton is super, super soft. I was recently browsing the Artevist website and saw that this particular T-shirt (as well as several others) is on sale for 50% off! That means this $30 shirt is now only $15... quite a steal considering the shirt is 100% organic cotton, sweatshop free (made in the USA), limited edition, and 1% of every sale is dontated to to global, nonprofit organizations involved in environmental causes (among other things). Best of all, this is the softest, most comfortable shirt I have ever owned.

Ty's Toybox clearance sale, up to 80% off

Ty's Toybox has just marked down a number of items for their clearance section and also added some new items. There are some really great deals there, definitely worth a look. Maybe it would even be a good idea to stock up for Christmas (too soon?) or birthdays. Lots of great items including Super Why, Yo Gabba Gabba, Curious George, GUND, Sesame Street, Spongebob, and tons of others!
