Jillian Raye Designs - Headband Review & Giveaway

Please allow me to introduce you to Jillian from Jillian Raye Designs on Etsy.

I met Jill through Heather at Kydan Rae Kustoms. When I approached Heather about doing a review of her shop (see review/giveaway here), she told me to contact her friend Jill, too. When I saw that Jill made hair accessories, I was so excited. I have 2 little girls - it's natural that any sort of "accessory" is bound to brighten my day. To find out that Jill was just as excited about me featuring her shop and reviewing her hair accessories made it all the better. So, I started to kinda nose around about Heather and Jill, how they came to be friends..ect. (cuz I'm nosy like that) The way that they are such awesome supportive friends made me think that they had been life long friends from school or something. To my surprise, Jill and Heather have never actually met. They met through facebook and started their Etsy shops around the same time.

Heather creates the most amazing little custom childrens clothing and Jill makes the most adorable hair accessories and jewelry for Jillian Raye Designs. Their shops compliment each other so well.

Jillian was so sweet to send Lillian these darling little pony tail clips to match the Chloe dress Heather from Kydan Rae Kustoms sent her.

I was so impressed with how well the clips matched the dress.

She uses the same fabrics to make them a perfect fit.

Lillian has the perfect hair for pigtails, so these clips work very well for her.

Jillian Raye Designs also sent this adorable headband for Alexa to match the Alexa dress made by Kydan Rae Kustoms.

Again, I'm so in love with how well it goes with the dress. It fits Alexa perfectly and even after the rough and tough use from Alexa, it's still all in tact and beautiful as ever.

Jillian has such a wide variety of fun, unique items in her shop. They are simply one of a kind and you will be so pleased with her work. Her talent is endless and I'm confident that she can create any accessory you can dream of. Here are few of my favorite items from her shop. Spring Trio Headband Spring Flowers Headband Rosette Rings

Rosettes are so popular these days. I absolutley love them. Jillian has some wonderful fabrics. These bright colors are making me so anxious for SPRING!!

Pink Rosette Headband

I'm such a sucker for pink...the headband shown above it my all time favorite.

You think I could get by wearing it??

Black Satin Rosette Clip

It's a fact that I wear a ton of black, maybe a little too much, but this sweet black satin bobbypin clip above is sure to dress up anything in your wardrobe. I love it.

Ivory Lace Necklace

As you can see Jill doesn't just make things for your hair, she creates beautiful necklaces and rings as well. Her sweet creations arrive to your home wrapped in tissue paper and tied with ribbon. Any item in her shop would make a fantasitc gift for a friend, daughter or sister.

Jillian Raye Designs let's her creative juices explode during her kids' naptimes.

I swear every time I visit her shop, I see something new.

I'll take one of everything - please? ;)

Etsy Feature: La Pixie Dust Boutique

I am a happily married wife to my wonderful husband Justin of 7 ½ years, and a stay at home mommy to my three children, Trent (5), Kiala (3) and Autumn (1). I home school our oldest who is in kindergarten this year. To say I’m busy would be an understatement but I have a love and a need for being creative. Using my hands and eye for design is something that brings me a lot of joy (and is a much needed oasis from my busy life). Sitting down to sew, scrapbook, cut, glue and create is something that calms me down and helps me think straight! La Pixie Dust Boutique grew from those times of quiet in my craft room where I create.
When I was a little girl, dressing up in princess gowns and playing out my own little fairytale was so much fun! I began to think of my own two little girls and nieces and wanted to give them the opportunities to play dress up, with sparkles, glitter, twirls, fairytale dreams and all things whimsy.
For a very long time I’ve wanted to create something with whimsy, a boutique style item that I could share with others. It wasn’t until this fall that I discovered that item would be tutus, along with hair accessories!
My hope is that this will be a product that will bring out a little girl’s fairytale dreams and will enhance her imagination. Our tutus not only can be a key part of imaginative play but also can be worn for special events, weddings, photo shoots, a date with mommy or daddy, or even for everyday wear alone or over jeans for a trendier look! I hope you enjoy our products as much as I’ve enjoyed creating them for you!

I grew up having 3 brothers!

I always say that God blessed me with 2 little girls for that reason.

I wanted to desperatley to have a sister to play dress up with, to dance and make believe.

Krissa at La Pixie Dust Boutique has created the environment for my girls that I always wanted.

A whimsey fairy-tale dream.

Alexa has spent hours and hours prancing around the house in her lovely tutu.
It's every little girls dream to be a little princess and what better way for them to 'feel' like one than with these whimsical tutu's from La Pixie Dust Boutique.

A huge thumbs up to Krissa and her hard work in making these little jems. For someone to create an item this sweet and delicate that withstands the rough and toughness of childs play is pretty incredible. These soft little tutus are very durable to handle the fun adventures they will be taken on with your little one.
