GirlyGoGarter Review

cindy — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:22:08 +0000

Sometimes a product comes a long and you just need to see it for yourself. My own personal curiosity is why I am reviewing the GirlyGoGarter® today. If you are a woman on the go who wears a lot of skirts and dresses and would often like to ditch your purse, the GirlyGoGarter® needs to go on your Christmas list. If you attend a lot of parties or concerts, dance the night away at your favorite club and hate lugging a purse on to the dance floor, check out the GirlyGoGarter®.
The GirlyGoGarter® is a smart, sexy, lacey garter with pockets that securely holds your phone, cash, credit card, I.D., lip gloss and more. It adheres to your upper thigh with patent-pending GentleFlexGrippers that hold up to 3 lbs without slipping.

I seldom wear dresses or skirts but I did find a unique use for the GirlyGoGarter®. I am currently in a stage production of “The Gospel According to Scrooge” and I wear my GirlyGoGarter® with my costume! Since the play is set in Victorian London our costumes are massive and I have been wearing my GirlyGoGarter® on top of my bloomers, under my crinoline and skirt! (Don’t tell the costume mistress please). I use my GirlyGoGarter® to keep my phone and scene list handy for whenever I am off stage. It stays in place while I dance and sing and no one knows it is there.

The GirlyGoGarter® comes in RED for the current Holiday season, WEDDING BLUE for brides, BLACK for Saturday nights out, HOT PINK for Valentine’s Day, and NUDE for everyday events and activities. Sizes are according to your trouser size: Size 3 (fits 0-6), Size 2 (fits sizes 8-12), and Size 1 (fits sizes 14-18) and sells for $35-$55.

Here is the GirlyGoGarter® video so you can see this product in action.

What are your thoughts? Would you wear a GirlyGoGarter®? Is there someone on your holiday shopping list who needs this innovative product? Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Disclosure: I received the product for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% mine.

Holiday Guide 2011-Gifts for Her-Bracelet Mate #Rafflecopter

cindy — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 16:55:57 +0000

Sponsored by Tomoson.com I love getting and giving creative gifts, things that aren’t the norm. This year I found the Bracelet Mate by Canale Originals. Each Bracelet Mate is beautifully hand-beaded and made of leather, suede or fabric. Besides the numerous design options available, what makes them truly unique is that the bracelet is attached to a mini wrist wallet capable of carrying your ID, credit cards, currency, lipstick and keychain. When worn, the wallet sits discreetly on the inside of your wrist, and can be worn on either wrist.

The Bracelet Mate is perfect for a night out on the town or at a club because you always know where your belongings are and they don’t get in your way out on the dance floor like a purse often does. It would also be great for travel, shopping, pretty much anywhere you go.

You can enter to win a Bracelet Mate of your very own! It won’t arrive in time for Christmas though it makes a great gift for yourself.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I Love My Sondra Roberts Purse!

cindy — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 01:46:47 +0000

I am not a designer purse kind of gal. I have never spent more than $20 on a purse. Prior to last month I owned 1 purse that cost more than $20 and it was a gift, now I have two. Last month I told you about a Sondra Roberts online fashion show. I wrote that post as a part of Buzz Cooperative. For posting that story, I was entered into a drawing to win one of two Sondra Roberts purses. Well….I won!

My purse arrived while I was away for Thanksgiving. I was so excited to see it! It is a red mini-messenger bag and it has come in very handy. I used it on both of our trips to Walt Disney World this month. It carried my wallet, notepad, pen, Blackberry and other theme park necessities. I’ve also used it while Christmas shopping, its cross-body style makes it very secure for shopping.

If you are shopping for an affordable, designer purse check out SondraRoberts.com, I think you’ll find exactly what you are looking for.

Handbago-The Place for Bagistas

cindy — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:24:21 +0000

I know a lot of “Bagistas” (women addicted to designer handbags and purses). If you are a bagista or know someone who is you will want to make sure you check out Handbago. You will think you have died and gone to handbag heaven!

A peek at their homepage shows but a glimpse of the information available to handbag collectors and addicts alike. Handbago is a free community where you can interact with other handbag enthusiasts, review handbags, and receive exclusive information about handbags, events and sales.

While I was playing on the site I found several handbags that caught my eye. I drooled over the Kate Spade ‘Stevie’ Tote in Pink Cherry, while the more practical side of me would love to own the Vera Bradley Patchwork Hobo.

Whatever your handbag style, there is plenty to feed your addiction at Handbago.
