Ambrey's Accessories - Review and Giveaway!

Hello there!  I'm back again with another fantastic review and giveaway!

First of all, let me introduce you to my plight.  My daughter has beautiful hair.  Beautiful, curly, thick hair.  Beautiful, always-in-her-eyes, sticking-out-everywhere hair.  Finding good quality hair accessories at affordable prices has become somewhat of a quest for me.  

On any given day, you can find my daughter looking like this:

Or, frightningly enough, like this:



Now do you see why hair accessories are so important to me?


Now comes Rachel, the talented mommy behind Ambrey's Accessories.  In an attempt to outfit her daughter with a vast array of hair accessories that weren't limited by either a headband OR clip, she developed her own system for making them interchangeable.  I know, you're probably thinking "it's just a hair-bow".  And you are so very mistaken.  This is so much more than a hair-bow.

Let me introduce you to the cast of characters:
One Ribbon-Covered Clip
One Lace Headband

One Lavender Daisy with Rhinestone Center

One Pink Bow with Rhinestone and Flower Center


 Pretty cute, right?  Now, go back and look at that headband and clip again (don't worry, I'll wait).  Do you see the tiny silver embellishment?  Any guesses what that is?  You're right, poppets, it's a SNAP!  Those tiny snaps correspond to these tiny snaps:

and

 Have you made the connection?  YES!  Each item (flower, bow, etc) is detachable!  Can you just see the doors opening in the world of accessorizing??  You are no longer limited to wearing only what comes with the clip or headband.  With Ambrey's Accessories, you can mix and match your favorite accessories with the wearing method of your choice.  And, I'll let you in on a little secret...they work great for mommies too!
 In addition, each delicate snap is not glued but sewn on, for added durability.

Are you impressed?  I know I am.  And, guess what?  Rachel has offered to give one lucky reader a Basic Starter Pack from Ambrey's Accessories.  This includes one headband and two accessories of their choice.

I can see why you want to have user-friendly accessories. :) I think the amazing navy blue bow and the white pearl blessing bows are my favs, but I'm weird like that. :P

  14. I love the 6 pack of alligator clip bows. They would be perfect for my step-brother to put in Maidalyn's hair.

  20. Okay, I am such a sucker for the big flowers and I adore Gerber daisies so I loved alllll of those. It's really hard to narrow it down to just one but I think I'd have to go with the "hot cherry" gerber daisy. So cute!
