Small Concept Review & Giveaway



As much as I'd like to say that it is easy buying clothes for my boys, that is just not the case. For one, it's hard to find things at a good price. Two, it's hard to find the right fit. My oldest is tall and skinny. So, things are usually too short on him, but falling off of him at the same time!

I am so happy that I ran across a store called Small Concept! They have a wonderful selection of children's clothing. They also have a large size range, and the prices are decent as well. Here is the story behind Small Concept. From the owner:

Last year, I made the monumental decision to leave my salaried
position of 12 years and venture into the entrepreneurial world. I
also lost my husband of 30 years to a long battle with cancer. I
suppose you could say that now, more than ever, I understand the
importance of pursuing a career path that you’re passionate about--
and I’m very passionate about children, especially my own children and
grandchildren. I’ve learned that life is short and precious, which is
why I chose to devote my time to a business that revolves around my
love for children.

The Small Concept mission is simple: to provide quality products and
deliver only the best in customer service. We offer great brands like
Tea Collection, Appaman, Deux Par Deux, Magnificent Baby, Wonder Boy,
and much more. In addition, we recently introduced maternity wear to
our collection-- specifically, Lilac Clothing and Olian Maternity.


It's amazing to go through all of that, yet remain strong and have a successful business! I actually had the opportunity to review two boys shirts from Small Concept! I chose the Alpha Industries Pirates Tee and the Tom and Drew Gentlemen Tee. Both of these shirts are perfect for my boys. 


The pirate tee is for my 6 year old. He has always loved pirate and was super excited when I handed it to him! The color was just right for him and the fit was amazing. 


The gentlemen tee was for my 7 year old. He has a heart of gold. He wants everyone to like him and doesn't like being a bully or being bullied. Now he wears his shirt proud and tells everybody that he is a gentleman! The fit is good for him. Usually shirts hang off of him, but this one it just right.


Small Concept has just about everything you need. They even sell diapers and all kinds of accessories. I really want to try the Fatboy Island! It looks super cool! Head on over to Small Concept, take a look around and start ordering!


Want some good news? One lucky reader is going to win a $25 store credit to Small Concept! Yay! Start entering and good luck!

Cariloha Review & Giveaway {US & CAN}



My husband doesn't like to buy clothes for himself. He will wear the same clothes until there is nothing left of them except shreds! He has about 3 pairs of cargo shorts that have huge holes in them right above the knees. That is why I was so happy to review for Carihola!

Cariloha is a company that makes bamboo clothing. Bamboo is perfect for making clothing. It is green and good for the environment. When it is made into fabrics it is ultra-soft and feels like cashmere and silk! Not to mention it is 3 degrees cooler than cotton and pulls moisture away from your body!

For review I was sent the steel gray bamboo cuddy cargo shorts. Needless to say, my husband needed them badly! As soon as they arrived, I made him change out of his holey shorts and put these on. They are a perfect fit! They hang well on him, they have enough pockets for him to put his stuff in, and he said they were really comfortable.

Actually, right after he put them on, we went over to our friends house and he started doing a little bit of yard work in them. He said they were a lot cooler than his regular shorts and he really liked them! Boy, I am so happy! They look really good on him too!

Cariloha doesn't just make shorts for guys. They sell women's clothing, other men's clothing, shirts for kids, and accessories! They even sell things for your home, like towels and sheet! Oh how I would love to get my hands on a bamboo sheet set!

Overall, I am very impressed with Cariloha and would highly recommend shopping there!

I have great news! One of my lucky readers is going to win their very own bamboo shirt from Cariloha! That's right, one of you will get to feel the super soft bamboo clothing like I have! Good luck!

Del Sol Review & Giveaway {US & CAN}



I'm always on the lookout for new stylish and trendy clothes. That's why I was so happy when I learned I would be reviewing for Del Sol!

Del Sol sell awesome color changing clothes! They are one color when you are inside, and another color when you step out into the sun! Del Sol has items for men, women and children. They even have color changing nail polish!

For review I was sent a beautiful blue t-shirt with an awesome design on it! I love it so much! The design is perfect, and it changes colors!
Without Sun
With Sun

The fit of the shirt is great for me. It's not too loose and not too tight. I always have that problem! This shirt fits like it was made just for me! I also like the scoop neck. I hate it when shirts are too low cut or when they sit on you like a turtle neck! This one hits me in just the right spot!

The fabric is very soft. Not to mention that it is breathable! With these hot summer days, that is very important. Overall it is a very comfortable shirt!

Now it's your turn! Del Sol has kindly offered a giveaway for my readers! One of my very lucky readers will win a color changing t-shirt of their choice! Good luck!

Love Mode Review & Giveaway



I was super excited when I learned I would be reviewing for Love Mode! Love Mode offers trendy junior's clothing that is sure to make you the envy of all the girls!

For review I was sent the Beachy Boardwalk Top in Strawberry Pink! This top is so cute! It's lightweight and very trendy! The colors are perfect for me. Not too bold, but not too drab! The fit is just right! I do like form fitting clothes, but the way this shirt hangs is very flattering!

I actually wear it a couple of different ways. I tie it tight in the back and wear it like a normal shirt while going out to eat. Then, for going out shopping or out around town, I tie it loosely and let it hang off one shoulder. That is my favorite way to wear it!


Love Mode offers TONS of trendy junior's clothing! I would love to try some of their junior's dresses! The Pretty in Polka Dots dress really caught my eye!


Overall, I give Love Mode two thumbs up! I'm sure I will be buying from them in the future! I'm very satisfied with their clothes and would totally recommend you shop there!

191 Unlimited Review & Giveaway

My husband had no style what-so-ever! When he tries to dress up, I give him a sideways look and ask him as nicely as possible if he is really wearing that. That is most guys though! Most don't really care what they look like! Especially if they are married!

191 Unlimited is here to help them! They sell trendy clothes to get your man (or self) the style they need! With everything from jackets to striped shirts to bottoms, he will be looking good in no time!

For review I received two shirts. They are both so nice! I was thrilled to open the box and find stylish button down shirts! My husband has one button down shirt that doesn't even fit him! He likes to wear button downs, but won't go shopping for them!

Wifey to the rescue! I gave him the shirts and his eyes lit up a little! Good sign! But, the real task was getting him to put them on and like them!

Ok, so it wasn't a task after all! He tried them both on and loves them both! And boy does he look good in them! The fit is absolutely perfect! I have never been so happy to see him in new clothes! My mom will be here this weekend and we always go to a restaurant every time she comes. He is anxiously awaiting that dinner so that he can show off one of his new shirts!

The quality of the shirts is marvelous! The colors are great! Very subtle for a guy. And the material is nice against the skin. Overall, my husband and I are both very happy with the shirts and the company! Looks like I'm going to be doing some more shopping for him at 191 Unlimited!

Baby Rock Apparel Review

Do you have a little rock star on your hands? I know I do! Both of my boys love to 'jam out'! Everything from air guitar, bandannas, and even the Gene Simmons tongue! So, when I had to opportunity to review for Baby Rock Apparel, I was super excited!

They sell a lot of really cool items! Babies, toddlers, kids, boys, girls, they have it all! Everything to dress them from head to toe! To be honest, even with the massive amounts of products they sell, it took me no time at all to decide what to review! As soon as I saw the "Lock your daughters up" shirt, I was sold!

My 5 year old gets more compliments as a little kid than I have gotten my entire life! He is just a cutie! From the old to the young, they all love him! He has eye lashes that go on FOREVER! So, this shirt seemed appropriate!

The shirt is very well made! Made in the USA of 100% Rib cotton and combed for softness and comfort. I love the lettering on the shirt, and washing it has not made it come off or fade. The fit is very nice as well. Every time my son wears the shirt, you can just see the other moms chuckling over it!

For my lovely readers, Baby Rock Apparel is giving you guys 15% off when you use the code 'coastguard'! So, go order now! Coupon is good for three months.

Summer in the South: Coco Bonbons Review & Giveaway

I love finding places that sell cute clothes for my kids! Right now I can still dress my boys the way I want, and I'm taking advantage of it. Pretty soon, they are going to be wanting to wear what all the 'cool' kids are wearing!

Coco Bonbons has the most adorable clothes for boys and girls! Sizes range from infant to child. Not only are the clothes super cute, but they are affordable as well!

For my review I received the boys' Lobster Print Swimsuit! It's made of 100% cotton and ties at the waist with mesh lining to keep it fitting comfortably. Since I've had it, there have been so many people saying how cute they are! My son loves the lobsters on them! He teases his little brother that the lobsters are going to get him! :) Boys will be boys!


I'm very pleased with Coco Bonbons! The shipping was really fast, and the quality of the product is wonderful! I would recommend them!


Check out the map for a location near you! Or, just order straight from the site! I'm sure once you start looking at the clothes, there WILL be something that you can't pass up!
