Winter is coming soon to the Southern Hemisphere, which means I need to put away my tops and skirts and start moving my jeans, sweaters and boots to center stage in my closet!  Until now, I wasn’t really looking forward to it since I have a low patience threshold and squishing in my jeans into my very beautiful boots (which deserve to be displayed!) stressed me out like crazy. Sure, I could just wear the jeans out and problem solved but that looks nowhere near as chic as I’d like it to look and the chilly wind makes its way underneath the jeans.  No, that won’t do!!!

But then this brilliant, little product popped in front of my screen and alas, my jean/boot problems were fixed!  No more tucking in my jeans obsessively, adjusting or fixing them or looking in the mirror at the crumpled up bits over the top of the boot and getting annoyed.  With these Jean Straps all those problems are gone and you can once again look chic with your perfectly tucked in jeans into your boots!

The concept is really simple – attach the Jean Straps to the bottom of ANY pair of jeans (either before or after putting on the jeans) and then your jeans are ready to be tucked in easily into your boots.  And presto! You have finished what before took too long a time to do.

Jean Straps are such a simple solution. The best part is that you only really need one pair – you can just place it on another jean and use it with another pair of boots.  They’re as easily removed as placed on. Plus, they’re made of high quality elastic and no one will see them tucked into your boots.  When you order a pair, instructions are enclosed in the packaging! That helped me out a lot… I’m not great at figuring things out myself.

What I love most is how comfortable they are.  I honestly didn’t feel them the entire day I tested them out.  Some reviewers have said that they feel like wearing stirrup pants but I honestly wouldn’t know, I’ve never worn one of those.

My overall thought on the Jean Strap: Fully recommended! Especially if you like to tuck in your pants under your boots  – they will make your life so much easier!

BUY IT

Jean Straps are sold for only $9.99 a pair – that’s practically a steal for such a great product! Head over to their online store to grab a pair!

Beautiful interior design is not an easy task – it requires an eye for color, design and spacing.  It might even take a professional who’s taken a few years of coursework to understand how all those concepts work together to create a beautiful space.

That’s why I absolutely love the elegance and beauty that Trading Phrases’ vinyl decals can bring to a space – and so simply too!  They are so well designed and elegant that with a simple 10 minutes of installing, you can change the entire look of a room.

They have over 1400 designs (that’s right – over 1400!!!), 62 colors options, and various different sizes – that means that there’s no way you can’ t find something great to spice up your space. Plus, you can also order a personalized vinyl decal – they’ll work with you so you can get that vinyl decal you need! They can even make custom quotes for you.  Pick the wording, font, size and color and magic – you’ve got just want you wanted.

The decals also are very versatile – they can be used on walls, tiles, mirrors, glass, furniture, doors and floors – so you can add that elegant touch to almost any solid surface you want!

I had the good fortune to review one of their products and I only have positive things to say about it! First, the quality is top notch.  That vinyl decal is going to last a long time and if I ever choose to take it down (which I won’t!) it’s easily removable and leaves no trace of having ever been up there.  The color is vivid, the design is beautiful and the packaging it was sent in was great – everything arrived in perfect state.  The order also came, as a surprise to me, with a practice piece to test the surface (super useful!), a promotional design (so pretty!), installation instructions, and a handy Chizzler scraper to make installation and removal a breeze.  It was an awesome, full package with everything you may need to place that vinyl decal! And check out what a beauty it is:

See how it adds that extra special touch to the wall? I absolutely love the energy it brought to my room – and there is no quote more fitting for me. I always dance like no one is watching!

Here are a variety of beautiful designs that caught my eye:

Something happened for the first time since I’ve been hosting giveaways… random.org picked a lucky, lucky number as the winner of this giveaway but the winner left no way for me to get in touch with her! No e-mail, no contact information, not even a name…. So I had no choice but to pick another winner randomly!

People who know me, know that I love to laugh. And that’s exactly what I did for an hour straight while browsing through Snorg Tees’ website.  Talk about brilliant humor, creative design and I can’t even begin to tell you how comfortable their shirts are!

The first thing I did before even attempting to contact them about having a giveaway for you, my awesome followers, was to send their link to everyone I know. I wanted to share the hilarity of their T-shirts and spread the happiness. Within a few hours, my inbox was stuffed with comments from friends and family about how awesome these T-Shirts are!

The wonderful people of Snorg Tees let me pick out a shirt to review, and I must have taken over 2 hours picking one out.  They have so many wonderful options that I was confounded as to which one I want to prance around the city. But this little number had really grabbed my eye from the beginning and I couldn’t resist picking it out.

I wore this out on Saturday and I’m not sure I’ve ever gotten so much attention from so many people.  Everyone wanted to read the shirt and talk to me, because let me tell you something:  wearing a shirt like this tells people that you are freakin’ awesome and have a great sense of humor.  A few guys even asked for my number. How can they resist a funny girl? They can’t, and I didn’t even come up with the joke! I only wore the shirt. Score!

So overall, between the puns, double entendres, funny references to popular shows & movies, and overall hilarity, there’s no possible way to not love these t-shirts!  Plus, they are so beautifully designed and each is so unique in it’s graphics that I feel like buying them all. 🙂 Imagine how popular I would be… people would look forward to seeing me everyday just to see what new, funny shirt I’m wearing!

And what’s more… the T-shirt actually looks AMAZING on me.  My concern with T-shirts of this kind is always that they’ll look baggy and too big on me, but the fit is surprisingly perfect!  It covers my curves really well and has a really feminine cut to it, which is the last thing I expected.  Plus, it’s so soft and comfortable, made of 100% cotton.  Really great quality T-shirts… I’m definitely buying myself some more.

Among some of my very fave shirts are:

The nerdy humor ones :

The Gamers shirts:

The references to shows:

The Girly ones:

And the overall funny:

Get It!

Can’t wait until you can wear these awesome shirts out?  Well then, go ahead and browse through Snorg Tees super cool options! They’re really affordable (only $18.95 per shirt) and they also have a bunch of designs on sale right now!
