Dress First is the First and Last Place To Shop For Special Occasion Dresses of Every Kind!!!

dressfirst_logo

I think New Year’s Eve is not only about the start of a new year but a new season for dresses.  If you think about New Year’s Balls, you probably envision women with gorgeous full length ball gowns dancing and ringing in the new year with class and style. The new year seems to transition effortlessly into one formal event after another.  The start of spring brings with it college formals, high school proms, graduations and of course full speed ahead into wedding season.  Sometimes it can be overwhelming the amount of functions we’re invited to and the decisions on what to wear coupled with the expense of buying several different dresses. All those decisions can be stressful on your mind and your wallet!

I recently found out about Dress First and I have to share it with you!  DressFirst.com is the global leading online retailer for wedding gowns, special event dresses, wedding party dresses, and accessories.  Dress First takes great pride in providing their customers with high quality garments at affordable prices and exceptional customer service. Their enormous selections of dresses can be tailored to your exact specifications.

Wedding Dress

I could not believe the Wedding Dress collection and how low the prices were!   I was married way more than a few years ago, and my gown cost at least 10 times more than most of these dresses!  Imagine the savings for the parents of the bride!  But it does not stop there, you will find great styles for mother of the bride or groom, bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids.  They also sell a full line of accessories including wedding veils, shoes, jewelry, evening bags and more. The even carry maternity bridesmaids dresses.

Follow Dress First on Twitter and Facebook to get the latest updates and news on new inventory, sales, specials and more.  It may be cliché but you don’t need a million to look like a million.

The Pretty Peacock, Silver, Sweet Fortune Cookie Pendant Review & Giveaway!!! Bonus Exclusive Discount and Free Shipping Code!!!

I recently connected with The Pretty Peacock, and was asked to do a review of their Silver, Sweet Fortune Cookie Pendant.  The idea behind this pendant is that  you write your own wish, dream, or desire on a small slip of paper.  You then carefully fold it up and slide it inside of the cookie. Then you sit back, and watch it all come true.

Each cookie has a gorgeous, ornate pattern embedded into the silver – true to Pretty Peacock style – which creates an elegant piece of unforgettable jewelry! The cookie measures roughly 3/4″ wide and 3/4″ tall (since each are handmade, the size can vary slightly). Each cookie is HAND FORMED just like a real fortune cookie out of 99.9% pure silver (fine silver) and is eco-friendly by nature.  A sterling chain is included and is fully adjustable to 18″.  Each pendant is packaged in a drawstring Pretty Peacock bag with a few slips of paper to get you started.  There is also a card insert included explaining how to use the magic cookie.  Everything is placed inside a cute, little take-out box to complete the ensemble.

This pendant is gorgeous and I love the idea of keeping a special message in it.  I think it would be wonderful to give to a daughter or granddaughter with a special fortune, letting them know how special they are, and how much you love them.  Great when girls are away from home for camp, boarding school, college, and events.  They will always have a message close to their heart that tells them they are loved.

Great gift for bridesmaids, friends, graduates, birthdays, and so much more.  A wonderful way for a daughter to tell her mother she is going to be a grandmother, with a special message tucked inside.  If you are looking for a unique, special and beautiful gift, then check out The Pretty Peacock, Silver Sweet Fortune Cookie Pendant on Sterling Silver Chain.

Exclusive Discount Code:

The Pretty Peacock is giving Mommy Rambling’s blog readers an exclusive discount code to use until Feb 29th for 10% off and free shipping.  The code is: RAMBLINGS2012 

The Pretty Peacock is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Silver Sweet Fortune Cookie Pendant and Chain of their own.  Thank you to The Pretty Peacock, for the beautiful review jewelry and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Cangles’ Fashionably Green Eco-Friendly Jewelry Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

When I connected with Cangles a few weeks ago, there was no doubt who would pick out the items for review.  This jewelry made from recycled beverage cans was right up my daughter’s alley.  First, she loves that fact they are made with recycled cans, second, she loves to wear flower accessories in her hair and third, she loves earings.  So, she picked the Arizona Tea Large Flower Hair Clip and the Fresca Three Tier Flower Earrings to review.  She was home this weekend and I let her have them, she loved them.  They are trendy, cute and very green in more than one way.

Cangles’ fashionably green eco-friendly jewelry design and construction is based on the 3 Rs: Reusing, Renewing & Recycling.  Cangles makes affordable,  fashionable & fun eco-friendly jewelry by hand from recycled aluminum. Every aluminum can that is recycled saves an amount of energy equal to one-half a can of gasoline. Cangles hand tools all of their jewelry: hair clips, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. As part of our sustainable, Earth-friendly philosophy Cangles donates a portion of each sale to several eco-responsible charitable organizations.

Cangles makes bracelets, necklaces, earrings, hair accessories and military tribute/support jewelry.  Cangles takes care to eliminate any sharp edges, so you may wear their jewelry in total comfort.  It is lightweight yet durable. The cuff-style bracelets hold their shape yet allow for gentle squeezing at the ends for a snug fit.

.

So do you think this recycled jewelry is pretty cool?  Than you will be pleased to know that Cangles is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a $30 Gift Certificate for Cangles!!!  Thank you Cangles for the review jewelry and for sponsoring this awesome give-away!!!
