Two Little Cuties {GIVEAWAY]

When I needed some adorable hair accessories for Gabrielle and Alaina to wear for their second birthday, I reached out to my friend Melissa, also a mother of twins, who runs Two Little Birds.  I should have known the girls wouldn't wear them the day of the party but I managed to get the korkers in their hair on their actual birthday, and they were totally worth the wait!

Didn't they come out cute?  With holiday pictures on the horizon, I bought another two sets of korkers from Two Little Birds and they are just as sweet.

I can't wait to get them on the girls!

Two Little Birds has tons of great hair clips at insanely reasonable prices.  There are Christmas trees:

And snowmen for the holidays:

Plus flowers:

Layered bows:

And ladybugs for all year round.

Nothing costs more than $6 in the Two Little Birds shop and I can tell you from firsthand experience, the quality is excellent.  Gabrielle and Alaina wear their korkers all the time and they've held up so well.  So if you're looking for the perfect hair accessories to top off an outfit, contact Melissa.  She can custom make something to match perfectly!

In Honor Of Cuteness {GIVEAWAY & DISCOUNT}

We had a Christmas miracle come early in our house when earlier this month, Gabrielle and Alaina decided they would sit still to get their hair done.  It's such a relief knowing that they go out and about with cute hairdos now, instead of with the bed-head-like mullets they were sporting for a while when just a glimpse of the brush sent them into massive hysterics.  Thank you baby Jesus for understanding the importance of good hair.

Always one to push my luck, I decided to order some headbands to see if the girls' newfound appreciation for accessories would extend to them too.  I'm a huge a fan of the fabulous blog In Honor Of Design and knew that Anna, the lovely lady behind it, also has an Etsy store so I headed over to check it. There were so many sweet headbands to choose from that I was overwhelmed by the cuteness!  The Little Miss Lovely style was the first to catch my eye.

But the Little Miss Tweet is just darling too.

And the Little Miss Schoolgirl is perfect for the holidays.

The stretchy designs are so fun too.  Just look at the Little Miss Polka Dot!

But what really blew me away were the prices.  Nothing I posted above is more than $6!  Can you believe it?  Considering I had no idea whether Gabrielle and Alaina would even wear headbands, I was taking a risk ordering, but for $12, I was okay with it.

When my two choices arrived in the mail, I was so impressed with the quality!  The headbands aren't only adorable but they're also really really well-made.  To my pleasant surprise, the girls loved them but they also loved to pull them out and throw them around.  The fact that they're still holding up weeks later after being put to the test by two toddlers is impressive.  And look at how fabulous they are!  Here's Alaina modeling her Modern Circles headband.

(Excuse the potty seat but we just got it yesterday and both girls have decided it's their new TV-watching spot.  Lovely, right?)  Let's get back to her headband - I adore how the ribbon, felt and button look together.

And here's Gabrielle showing off the Little Miss Tweet style.

In Honor of Design carries accessories for ladies of all ages.  From newborns:

To moms:

There's something for everyone.  I know Gabrielle and Alaina would love these Flower hair elastics that can double as bracelets.

And I love this Lock & Key necklace:

The best part?  I could buy two of the flower elastics and the necklace for just $15!  I told you the prices were great!

For being well-made, well-priced and super super cute, the accessories from In Honor of Design are going on our HOLIDAY GIFT PICK list. 

If you're looking for a little something as a gift or stocking stuffer for a lady or little miss in your life, you know where to look!

And the holidays are going to come early for one of you because Anna has generously offered to give one lucky AFOMFT reader any one item in her store!  To enter, visit In Honor Of Design and post a comment here telling me what you'll choose if you win (this is mandatory).  For additional entries:

Oh 2 Cute! {GIVEAWAY}

I have professed my love of hair accessories over and over again, and now I've found another store to feed my addiction - Bows 2 Cute.  Don't you just love these Initial Button Headbands?

And they're only $5.50 each!  That's what's so great about Bows 2 Cute - the prices are super reasonable so if your little lady loses one of her hair clips (or chews on them as has often been the case in our house), you're not out a ton of cash.  This Baby Snappie Starter Kit?  Just $5.25!

There's even a set for preemies.  I wish I'd known about them when Gabrielle and Alaina were in the NICU!

I love the fabric button ponytail holders (which start at $2 each).

And there's nothing cuter than a rainbow mini-korker (Hello!  Just $3.50)!

They also have a whole bunch of designs for Halloween, from spiders:

To ghosts:

So fun!

Besides hair goodies, Bows 2 Cute also carries sassy baby shoes ($9.75):

Custom embroidered baby bloomers ($12.50):

And Initial Onesie and Hat sets ($19.50):

At less than $20 each, they would all make wonderful gifts. 

Jamie from Bows 2 Cute sent me two items to review and they were absolutely adorable.  The first was a sequined flower crochet headband like this one.

And yes, it's just as cute in person as it is on that sweet little girl.  The second was one of these fabulous Newsboy Kufi caps.

Why don't I have pictures of my girls in them?  Because we're giving them away to a lucky AFOMFT reader!  But believe me when I tell you I'll be ordering two of those hats for Gabrielle and Alaina to wear this fall.  They are that darling!

So if you're looking for stylish accessories for your little lass at prices that won't break the bank, be sure to visit Bows 2 Cute. You won't be disappointed.
