always anchors bows and earrings!

[Make sure you enter the Simply Reese giveaway!]

So, it's probably no surprise to anyone at this point that I love my bows from Always Anchors. They are so well made and completely affordable. Plus the shop owner, Karina, is super sweet! After we hosted a giveaway together, she sent me a couple bows and two pairs of earrings. They are gorgeous! I already knew I would love the bows, and I had been eyeing the earrings in her store for awhile. And they are even cuter than I thought they would be! I'm sure by the end of the year, I will probably own every bow from her shop and every pair of earrings. It's justified if I say I need them in every color and print, right?

By now, everyone should know that I have a slight obsession with online stores. (Okay, a very large obsession.) Charm & Gumption is the latest to add to that list. First of all, how cute is the name? Second, cute products galore! I found the store while looking at foil prints, my latest obsession, but there are just so many amazing products in this store! I am now in love with the idea of having a cute return address stamp. And of course the most important part, the products are affordable! Cue the confetti emoji.

the glo-shop!

I love finding online boutiques. They are my new favorite way to shop (especially since it is so freezing outside!). I found the glo-shop through instagram (where I seem to find everything lately!), and immediately had stars in my eyes. Gloria has a selection of handmade (by herself!) and handpicked items, ranging from jewelry to hair accessories to patterned leggings! Plus, the best part, they are affordable for any girl on a budget! Cue doing a little happy dance. 
Gloria sent me The Bow Bracelet and The Anchors Away Bracelet, along with two of her Adjustable Headbands. I was not disappointed at all. The bracelets are gorgeous and perfect for stacking. And I'm always a sucker for anything with a bow or an anchor on it. To be completely honest, I don't wear headbands that often. I think they look funny with my bangs, and I have a abnormally large head (I'm serious. Women's hats are always too small for me!). But these headbands are perfect! I can make them as big as I want, and since they're thinner than most headbands, they don't look silly with my bangs. All in all, her products are amazing, and I will definitely be ordering more from the store! (I have my eye on this necklace and this headband ;))
Check out her website at theglo-shop.com to learn about her store and browse the products before shopping!
And for all my lucky readers, Gloria is offering 20% your purchase at the glo-shop! Just enter the code "love2glo" at checkout!

Dottie Rocks!

I have a newfound love for engraved pencils. Normally, I am strictly a pen kind of girl. Maybe just because I was so sick of my mechanical pencils after high school. But there is just something about writing with a pretty looking pencil. Makes doing all that homework just a little, tiny bit better.
I found Dottie Rocks on Etsy, and instantly fell in love! The shop is run by Karen, and she has an amazing collection of pencils including quotes from Marilyn Monroe to Downton Abbey! And all in the prettiest of colors, of course. 
She sent me the "Dirty Dancing" collection and the "Sleeps in Chanel No. 5" collection, and I honestly think I squealed when I opened the package. Not only is the packaging cute, the pencils are even prettier in person! And all of the pencils in the shop are affordable, which is always a major score in my book!

See what I mean about pretty packaging??

I obviously have a thing for taking pictures ;) 

Check out Dottie Rocks on Etsy and head over to her facebook page as well! It is definitely a worthy addition to any desk!

Sew Glam Gifts!

Sew Glam Gifts is an Etsy store I found recently, and it is filled with so many cute and fun products! The store is run by Kelley (who is amazing at embroidering) and almost everything in the store is embroidered with the Chanel logo. Perfect for all of us fashionistas who are on a budget. ;)
Kelley sent me the Monogrammed Black and White Infinity Scarf, and I have to say, I'm completely in love! It is SO soft (an absolute must in a fleece scarf) and the Chanel monogram takes it up a notch from just being a boring black scarf! It just became my go to scarf for this cold weather. 

And for the lucky Dress in Sparkles readers, Sew Glam Gifts is offering 10% off your purchase with the code DRESSINSPARKLES! No minimum purchase necessary! Make sure to check out the Travel Mug and the Knit Headband (I think I might have to get those for myself)! 

It came in such a cute package! Plus, we found out that she's an alumni from my college! Crazy coincidences! 

(Ignore my face, I was really excited ;))
