Weekends are for pampering, sleeping in, hot buttered croissants, and divine tea all while in gorgeous lingerie.....don't you agree? I knew you would! I figured the weekend was the best time to put up our very ever first lingerie review! I'm so excited and yet so nervous at the same time! *wink* (P.S...try reading our blog at a zoom level of 75%...doesn't it seem so much more dainty some how? giggle.... Maybe it's just me! *wink* )
This year I wanted to really get more involved with our blog and you our fabulous followers. *wink* We're going to be posting not just about our Beauty Brand Margarita Bloom and the lovely products we have to offer but we'll be talking about all the things I'm currently loving or in love with from wonderful movies I just can't wait to see, to the current fashion items I'm obsessing over, and even lovely reviews of all kinds of brands that we love ranging from and never limited to beauty brands, lingerie, food, and anything else we can think up with our pretty little minds. *smiles*
As well as doing all that one of my New Years Resolutions that I haven't done yet was to do something that would take me out of my comfort zone, something completely brand new and that I've never done before. Yes, I'm still following through with my New Years Resolutions even though it's February and usually by now I'd have thrown in the towel...lol... How about you...are you still following through with your New Years Resolutions and what are they? ♡
I'm completely flinging myself out of my comfort zone...more like skydiving right out of it as I'm going to be modeling these delightful pretties!! So please be kind!! To give you a little back history about myself for the longest time I've had body image issues...it seemed like all my life I'd been overweight & unhealthy and trying to overcome it. Well, about two years ago I finally made my one big New Years Resolution come true...I managed to drop the weight (3o lbs!!!) and start living a much healthier lifestyle! Hooray!! (I'm not going to go into detail here about how I did it because this post is really about the lovely lingerie from Dentelle Etc but maybe in the future I'll do a post talking more about that if ya peeps want me to. *smiles*)
If you had asked me anytime in the past if I ever would be doing this, I'd say no way! I'm way too self-conscience...but now I'm going to love my body, be confident and if that somehow rubs off on other girls and helps them love their body and be more confident then all the better. I kind of think we need to start a revolution of loving our bodies, to be healthy, confident and happy with how we look. Don't you all agree? So here we are with some gorgeous luscious lingerie to review sent to me by the lovely Christina El-Hawi, founder of Dentelle Etc... based in England. She has several different styles available that you can mix and match together but ultimately I decided to go with the Onyx Soft Bra and Knickers. Lately I seem to be drawn to a lot of bloggers and brands that originate from the UK like Christina's and with good reason...they have fabulous taste. :) It's so very pretty and fits me quite snugly. I adore the pretty bloom pattern, don't you? It also has a bow in the back which is sooo darling except of course when you have to tie it yourself! lol... It's so pretty you don't need to pack it away for just one special occasion say like Valentines but you can wear it every day to make it your very own special occasion. You might want to opt for a willowy blouse with this bralet though as the bow does hamper wearing anything skin tight but that's not really an issue with me. *wink*
I'm so happy I found Christina's lovely brand...
I'm in love with her lingerie and I hope you are too.

Hey lovelies! Hope you're having a super warm weekend! I know it's been down right frigid lately and it's got me posting lots and lots pics of warm tropical destinations on my facebook and twitter...although that's not that different from the norm, is it? I do love a fabulous beachy photo!!
We've got another fabulous review coming up and it's got me super excited to share it with you. I've been Twitter friends for awhile with the lovely owner of this baubles shop we'll be talking about today. I've always loved her sense of style and LOVE of PINK which of course is I'm sure where part of her inspiration came from for her shop name, Pink Bubbly! Her shop is full of the prettiest baubles and jewelry that you could want. Bright and colorful and totally FUN to wear! Here she is lovelies...meet Michelle Michaud!
TAKEN FROM HER SITE:
"Michelle was a born fashion lover and has never stopped playing dress up. When asked in kindergarten what she wanted to be when she grew up, she replied with “a fashion model!”. While she's not strutting her stuff down the runways of fashion week, it’s no surprise that her career has landed in the fashion industry. Since “walking in heels” was not a major to fulfill her kindergarten dreams, she obtained a BA in marketing at Providence College and later earned her MBA.
From 2007-2012, she dressed the gentlemen while working in marketing and merchandising at a men's retail company. Trading in the gents for the ladies, she more recently managed social media and marketing at a boutique as PR girl. Following her passion for fashion and putting her business expertise to use, Pink Bubbly is born.
The face behind the fashion blog Pink Champagne, Michelle's girly glam style shines through. A Cape Cod girl turned Southern Belle, she and her charming mister now call Hilton Head Island home. (Although Paris will always have her heart...tres magnifique, oui?)"
Doesn't she just sound as effervescent as her company name? What a glamour girl. *wink* Today we're going to be reviewing her "Put a Bow on it" Bracelet which Michelle so generously sent us to review and let me tell you it's adorable. I'm wearing it right now in fact as I type this!
It's the daintiest little bracelet...so sweet....a pretty PINK with a golden bow. You can't go wrong with that combo, can you? You can also get it in white, but I had to go for PINK because you know PINK!! giggle... It's super easy to put on as it has a magnetic clasp that simply zwhoop....clicks together. As you can see from above it goes awesome with my minty green nails. (Go figure! I finally swap out my lavender nail polish which I've been wearing for weeks and it turns out to be the Pantone Color of the Year!) lol... Anyhoo...you can wear it alone or even add one or two more bracelets to compliment it!
L
ook, doesn't it just make the pink from my Glamour Girl (I LOVE this top! I just had to interject that....Disney tops make me happy.) Tinkerbell top pop! Her cute bracelet retails for $24 and is 7" in length. It's quality made too! Did I mention that her pretty bracelet came all wrapped up in the most darling gold polka dot tissue paper and in a HOT PINK BOX with a sweet note from Michelle herself!? Tres chic! (In fact, we may start using similar pink boxes for gift sets for Margarita Bloom! They're too cute not to use! See what I mean!)
Here are some other of my favorites from her website. :D
I also want to take a moment to wish Michelle a fabulous Birthday today!! Hope you're having a GLAMOROUS and very PINK birthday lady!! xoxo
