A Bling-y Reminder {CTR Couture Review and Giveaway}

Go back about 10 years and think about those “fancy” W.W.J.D. bracelets that were everywhere!! Everywhere you looked everyone was questioning “What Would Jesus Do?” It was a gentle reminder to think about what you were doing and make sure you were making a good choice, you were choosing what Jesus would do. Well, the tacky rainbow striped nylon bracelets are out of style, but I have found a super new way to remember to think about your choices but look hot at the same time! CTR COUTURE specializes in darling jewelry and accessories that reminds you to Choose The Right (CTR).

“CTR COUTURE™ is a leading fashion brand that reflects a positive lifestyle! Our purpose is to empower people everywhere to strive to be the best they can be. Encouraging everyone to make right choices––to love their families, friends, neighbors and themselves. To stand tall knowing it is fashionable to choose the right things in life. Spread the knowledge, the love, the passion and the CTR COUTURE fashion! ”

I was lucky enough to receive This darling CTR Couture Necklace and The Pink Royal Key chain. Both of them are absolutely darling! I love wearing the necklace. It has an adjustable chain in the back, so you can shorten or lengthen to make it look great with any outfit. The three charms on it are a sweet little heart, a CTR COUTURE charm, and a crown. They all remind you to Choose The Right and that you are a princess and that you should keep yourself worthy of that title. The key chain also has a crown and a couple of cute hearts. It also has a large lobster clasp perfect for attaching to other keys, purses, or bags. Not only are they super cute, but a wonderful reminder to Choose The Right. These are just two of their many pieces that are not only super cute and stylish, but a quite little reminder, too. I LOVE the hat!!! All of their items are perfect for teens and adults. They don’t scream What Would Jesus Do, but gently help you to remember what you stand for.

Everyone can use a little reminder in their life to make good decisions, want to win your reminder?? Here’s How To Enter:

Making School Uniforms Look Good! {French Toast Review and Giveaway}

Just over 3 years ago, I enrolled my kids in a Charter school. Hailee was in 2nd grade and April and Austin were in kindergarten. There were so many aspects to this school that I was super excited about, it was brand new, had leveled learning, and had a school uniform. There were a few things that Hailee was not looking forward to, leaving her old school, leaving her friends and wearing a school uniform. What was a major plus for me was not a major plus for her. Since she had been in a “regular” school for a couple of years, she was used to wearing whatever she wanted to school and knew that it was going to be quite and adjustment for this little fashionista to wear practically the same thing to school every day. When I heard about French Toast, I immediately placed my order! We live in a small-er town and pretty much our only shopping is Walmart, or we drive 45 minutes to the nearest mall. Therefore, I love me some online shoppin!! This is a picture of one the first uniforms we got from French Toast (3 years ago). I fell in love with French Toast from the moment my first package came in the mail. I was super impressed with the quality of every item we got! My kids wear polo style shirts everyday. If you have ever gotten the Walmart ones, you would know that after a few wears, they have a hard time coming clean. Our French Toast ones were not only CHEAPER then the Walmart ones, but a much better quality. They wash/wear really nice! My kids have been wearing the French Toast brand for the last 3 years and besides out growing their clothes, there hasn’t been a single issue with them

When I got the opportunity to review French Toast, I jumped on it! I was super excited to try their sweaters! We have ordered pants, skirts, shorts and polo’s in the past….just never a sweater! This year, the school went SUPER strict of dress code and said they could only wear navy sweaters, where in the past they had been able to wear navy, white or yellow. Have you ever looked for a CUTE navy sweater with nothing on it?! Not all that easy to find…unless you are on French Toast! Hailee, my needs to look “super” cute everyday girl, got the Cable Front Cardigan. April needs to be comfy (and cute) so she went with the Pom-Pom Zip Up Sweater. Austin, he could careless. He is going to wear the first thing hanging in his closet, so I picked the Zip Front Sweater for him. In less then a week, I had sweaters being delivered to my house. All three were thrilled…even Austin! They love wearing them, not only because they are super cute, but they are comfy and warm. We are in Utah, and things get COLD here, so that is a big deal! Another big deal (according to Hailee) is that she can’t have the same clothes as everyone else. French Toast has SO many different items that you are sure to get something that is perfect for your kids that will make them stand out…as much as you can stand out in a uniform. I am all for my kids wearing a uniform, but I do want them to be themselves. When we shop at French toast, they can pick things that still fall into the uniform category, but show a little bit of personality as well.

“French Toast Official School Wear™ is America’s leading brand of school uniform. Since 1958, our company has provided families with quality children’s wear and boys and girls school uniforms at great prices. Our selection of uniform styles and sizes is second to none, from toddler size uniforms through young adult, French Toast carries over 6,000 individual colors, styles and sizes in stock, all year round!”

French Toast has an incredible online store where you can find everything you need to send your kids off to school. They also have a catalog and do sell in stores as well! If you are looking for uniforms that will hold up in the wash, hold up at school, and stand the test of comfort…French Toast is the place to shop! Real Mom Approved!!

You can win 2 Shirts and one Pair of Pants or Skirt!

For fans who love fashion! {Stadium Stompers Review & Giveaway}

My mom is a huge college football fan, especially when it comes to the University of Texas! My brother went to school in Austin and we made several trips down during football season to catch games and other festivities! Since he graduated many years ago, she has remained a faithful fan and still wears her burnt orange on game days and throws up her horns when necessary! As soon as I saw Stadium Stompers I immediately thought of her and how much fun she would have with them {& how cute they would look!}.

Stadium STOMPERS are for fans who love fashion as much as they love football!

Our absolutely adorable rubber cowboy boots are waterproof, lined with cotton and oh-so comfy. They are available in 18 different team color combinations and are perfect with short skirts, skinny jeans (or just about anything else) and definitely aren’t just for rainy days! And the Stadium STOMPER collection includes several matching gameday accessories, too.

Our philosophy is that gameday apparel should be stylish and fun. It seems others agree. Since Stadium STOMPERS launched in late 2010, thousands of pairs have been sold and our boots have been spotted on several well-known collegiate cheer squads and on stylish students across the country.

When the Stadium Stompers arrived at my door, I couldn’t have been more excited! I love giving a great gift and I knew these would make my mom smile from ear to ear! When I opened them up, I was so impressed with the quality and style of these adorable cowgirl-style rubber boots! My mom and I have the same size foot so I had to try them on and see how they fit. Stadium Stompers recommends ordering a size up due to the narrow toe on the boot. I was so glad they did, because they slid on easily and once they were on I didn’t want to take them off! They have a soft cotton lining and removable insoles which add extra comfort. I wore them around the house for a few minutes and they really were comfy! I decided since we are mid-football season, I must give these to my mom as an early Christmas present. I have the hardest time keeping a secret, so it actually worked out well! She was so excited when the kids took over her gift and wore the Stadium Stompers around the house the rest of the day! She commented on how comfortable and cute they are and how she couldn’t wait to wear them to work on spirit days! My mom works in a school and she wore her Stadium Stompers last week with all of her UT gear! Several of the teachers and students complimented her on her new boots and she sent them to Stadium Stompers to get their own pair! What an amazing gift for any fan, but especially college students! Stadium Stompers would be an fantastic gift to find under the Christmas Tree!

Holiday Glamour {Teri Jon Review}

I can remember in high school going to pick out a fancy dress for dances. I felt like a princess when I finally found “the one.” I couldn’t wait to wear it and I was sad when the night was over. I mean heaven forbid you wear the same dress twice. The bummer part was, when would I wear it again?

As I got older I met a man who is very involved in the community. We go to galas, balls, and fundraisers. Suddenly I have use for those high school dresses. The only problem is, some don’t fit as wonderfully as they did in high school, dang it! Therefore I have spent time at the dress store trying to find “the one.” Unfortunately, find the perfect dress isn’t as easy as it was in high school. I don’t want to look like I am trying to be in high school and I don’t want to look like I am a grandmother. I just want to look like a hot, trendy, twenty-something year old.

Teri Jon is “one of New York’s most successful businesses.” Over the past thirty years, designer and CEO Rickie Freeman “has focused on making sure that her company provides women with dazzling affordable luxury apparel.” It has become a “leading brand that is sold at the finest specialty and department stores around the world.” “A July 2007 Women’s Wear Daily survey of women between the ages of 21 and 59 found that Teri Jon was one of the top ten labels that women found important to wear.” Teri Jon has “distinctive style, excellent quality and unequaled craftsmanship, all combined with genuine value.” They “combines the finest fabrics in the wildest spectrum of colors with extraordinary detail and embellishment to create beautiful and distinctly feminine silhouettes.”

“Every Teri Jon design is influenced by Ms. Freeman’s belief that a woman’s body is a gift and the clothing she wears is the wrapping! Whether it’s a soft and sheer body skimming gown, or an exquisitely tailored suit, Ms. Freeman offers her clients couture quality details for exceptional value.”

I was utterly thrilled when Teri Jon gave me the opportunity to review two of their products. Talk about being a lucky lady. I received the Navy Taffeta Flowered Dress. This dress is so fancy, trendy, and funky I can hardly wait to have this baby so I can get dressed up and go out on the town in it. It has the most wonderful asymmetrical neckline. I feel like it draws up to my face by showing just a pop of skin. The “side ruffle elongates the torso and adds an extra touch of elegance.” It has a cute litte skinny belt with a rhinestone buckle for a little bling and extra fanciness. This belt pulls in the waist to help give an hourglass shape. The full, pleated, knee length skirt adds to the trendiness and glamor of the whole piece. This is the “perfect dress for a size 2 through a size 16.” Isn’t the best!?

Teri Jon also gave me the chance to review the Black Feather Cardigan. This is the fanciest black cardigan I have ever seen! It is also available in a grey. “The feathers add another dimension to your standard cardigan, making it the perfect sweater for both day and night.” Plus doesn’t it scream glitzy holiday party!? “For your work look, wear the cardigan open over a matching shell with any of your favorite work pants or skirts. To dress it up for night, wear it over a black dress with a pair of bright tights and heels; or pair it with a high-waisted patterned skirt and your favorite black boots – either way you are sure to stand out and look fabulous.” My favorite thing about this sweater it is super soft. Even with the feathers on it!

Amanda and Christina received the same two prize pieces as I did. Here is what they have to say:

Wow. That was about all I could say when I first saw the Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon website. I mean, really, it is pretty much packed with amazing clothing, especially dresses for all sorts of occasions. I found so many gorgeous dresses, ones I would love to have in my closet! I was really drawn to the dresses that could be worn casually and then also dressed up for a night out on the town with girlfriends or a hot date with the husband! Those are the dresses I find I get the most wear out of and best suit my lifestyle. Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon generously sent me their Navy Taffeta Flowered Dress and a Black Feathered Cardigan. The Navy Taffeta Dress is a fancy little number complete with flowers and cute belt accented with crystals. It is beautifully made and would be perfect for the right occasion and person. It has a vintage flair and the asymmetric neckline and modest length are two things I really like about the dress. However, the flowers and taffeta make it a bit too fancy for me.

I wasn’t quite sure about the Feathered Cardigan at first, it is so different from anything I have ever worn. Well, it’s unique look has quickly grown on me and I can’t wait to wear it throughout the holiday season! The wispy feathers and sequin accents really add dimension and fun to this beautifully made couture cardigan; it would most definitely make a great holiday party sweater but can also easily be worn casually during the day or out for the evening. It has that dressed up or dressed down option that I love!

Ava adores it, too and keeps asking me to get one for her! She is a feather nut! A gorgeous new dress from Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon would make any woman feel extra special this holiday season!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I remember hearing that often when I was growing up. My dad was into auctions, antiquing, and yard sales long before they were “cool”, and watching him select treasures for their tiniest and finest details, will linger in my mind for the rest of my life. When I look for a quality piece of clothing, furniture, or art, I am looking for those distinctive details. Teri Jon is a company noted to sell “dazzling affordable luxury apparel” and their website definitely proves to have many lovely dresses and coordinates, so imagine my excitement when they said they were going to send me one of their pieces! Along with my fellow RMRV moms, I received the Navy Taffeta Flowered dress. I will be honest, as a classically simple gal, I was a bit taken aback by the choice of large flower and draping on the left side. Being a bit smaller framed, my hubby thought it kinda swallowed me up! Perhaps a little much to wear to a Christmas dinner where I come Despite the style, the dress is well made of quality taffeta, has a flattering shape that would appeal to a variety of sizes, and comes in navy (a very “in” color). Even the tiniest details were thought of in the tiny crystals on the belt buckle. Every women should have at least one beautiful go-to piece to wear for a fabulous evening out………..check out Ricki Freeman for Teri Jon to discover which piece that will be for you!

We sure are lucky ladies! Teri Jon is Real Moms approved!

Ooo La La! {Hobo International Review}

I love accessories! I especially love fancy accessories!! They make me feel sassy and classy. It is a nice feeling to feel a little different than the everyday normal feeling. But what if you could have a fancy accessory that you could use every day!!?? I could go for feeling fancy every day…especially in my pregnancy.

Hobo International is just the place for every day fanciness. In 1991, Toni Ray sat down at her Annapolis, Maryland dining room table and designed the first Hobo handbags. She felt like women’s accessories should be both stylish and practical. A few years later bight, bold, and funky colors were introduced and changed the face of accessories forever. 20 years later Hobo is still going strong and their products continue to fly off the shelves.

Hobo has something for every one. You can find something for the practical woman, the fashionista, the outdoorsy lady, you name it! Every lady can feel fancy.

Cute and fancy huh!? Hobo, where have you been all my life?

Hobo sent me the most amazing Tegan tri-fold wallet. The leather is baby-bottom soft and the color is a beautiful metallic pearl which gives the leather a nice shine. I am just in love with it!! It haves decorative pleats and is like nothing else out there. It has a double magnetic snap closure which holds it shut nicely. The inside is just as fancy as the outside. It is fully lined in glamorous graphic print fabric. There are 9 credit card slots! There is also an ID window…perfect for the “Can I see your ID moments?” Just flip open and they can look all they want. There are three bill pockets and an outside zip pocket. This wallet is so fancy and cute sometimes I forgo the purse and just carry my wallet as a clutch. I even took it as a clutch to a fancy dinner. Even though it is fancy, it certainly isn’t too fancy to whip out at the grocery store. I can’t say it enough I love Love LOVE Hobo and this wallet!

Ladies, look around at all the Hobo bags and then send Santa the link to the one you are dying for. You have been good this year and deserve it! Go on…tell him exactly what you want this year!

Hobo, thanks for helping a feeling frumpy pregnant woman feel fancy again. It was much needed! (Ask my hubby!)

Hobo International bags are 1000% Real Mom approved!

Stylin this Christmas! {HADDAD Brands Review}

Ever heard of a little brand called Nike? Or Levi’s? What about Converse? If you haven’t heard of them you must have lived in a box in a dark basement for the last few decades…these guys are BIG! Haddad Brands is an incredible company with even more incredible products! These are clothes that are going to last a LONG time, not your “disposable clothes” that so many companies have gone to.

If you are looking for the perfect outfit, pair of jeans, or an incredible pair of shoes to wrap up and put under for the kiddos this year, you are sure to find what you are looking for by hitting one of Haddad’s sites. Levis.com has some classic American wear. They make the best jeans EVER, not to mention a classic denim jacket.

If you are looking for something a little sportier, try Nike.com, or Nike6.0, or Jumpman23 (the Jordan logo). There you can find everything from shoes, to clothes, to any kinda “gear” you can imagine. What ever you decide on, you will be sure to be stylin!

Haddad’s was so kind to send each of my kiddos a little something special. Hailee and April each got a darling pair of Levi jeans with super cute back pockets and a fun Levi tee to wear with it. They spoiled Austin with a few fun Nike shirts and sweats. Mia got a fun new outfit and some sweet little jeans from Levi, as well. Thanks for letting us experience the quality of your products!

I remember the Levis brand and Nike brand growing up. If you sported this logo on your shirts or shoes you were definitely in style. Today, these brands are still the top leader in the clothing industry and I know just why! Quality. We had the opportunity to try out a few outfits and a jacket from Haddad’s sites and the quality is top notch. Quality stitching that I know will last through my little guys rough and tough playing. My little guy loves his new outfits and he feels so cool in his basketball shorts just like his dads. Thanks Haddad for making a brand that REAL MOMS can RECOMMEND for years and years to come.

Make sure you check out the Haddad’s sites for all of your Christmas Shopping needs!
