Much like our favorite tale of Beauty and the Beast, the brand Belle blossoms, has us yearning for more than this provincial life, a life full of gorgeous outfits and adventure! (Sadly these accessories didn't come with Belle's wardrobe but considering how awesome and versatile these pieces are we can't complain TOO much). I, Paola, won part of an amazing giveaway hosted by the always lovely Miss Lark Bahar (If you haven't already please give her a follow, she is the bees knees!!). I was the lucky winner of a darling set of hair accessories by the ever so talented Belle blossoms, which included an intricate hair flower/fascinator, hair scarf, and a snood.
We decided to take them for a test run and include a fun little review (Please note: although these pieces were won we can assure you that our review, will be one hundred percent honest as always and is in no way influenced by either wonderful ladies who made it possible). We simply felt these pieces had to be showcased in a marvelous way and wanted to offer our thoughts on the products for those curious about purchasing in the future.
Now being best friends we tend to share accessories among other things interchangeably but for this post (as well as future use since my hair will always be short, I've got Rapunzel's affliction and just like her I couldn't be happier.) Kirsten will be donning the snood since my lack of hair makes it rather difficult to do an awesome hairstyle to truly highlight it, in all its glory and I'll be show casing the hair flower to demonstrate that all hair lengths can rock hair flowers, that most certainly includes pixies. As you know we love themed outfits something mighty fierce so when planning how to show off these pieces we decided to do something a little different than normal to give off a more enchanted and ethereal feel. We wanted simple, yet elegant and feminine outfits to make the accessories the main focal point so we went for a woodland/enchanted forest type theme for our outfits. We hope you enjoy what we've prepared for you all today!

Review
Now since these were won from a giveaway we can't comment on Belle Blossom's packaging skills (although we're sure they're superb) because this was sent to us fromMiss Lark Bahar. However we can tell you Lark did a wonderful job at wrapping up the winnings and even included a beautifully hand written note inside. (You know us we're suckers for that extra little touch). We felt like little girls again opening presents at Christmas time while unwrapping these goodies, we've never received such elegant hair accessories before so it was definitely an experience. The first thing we noticed once the items were unveiled is how much attention to detail goes into making them and also how incredibly cute Belle Blossoms logo/business cards are. (I mean just look at that picture and even the font is reminiscent of old times, definitely something we love). Heather the owner of Belle Blossoms, goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction this we CAN comment on. Her pieces are incredibly sturdy and will last you for years to come you certainly get what you paid for. They are incredibly well made and even more beautifully vibrant in person.
I, Paola, will be the first to admit that upon first realizing I'd won the giveaway I was a bit wary of this hair flower, it is definitely a statement piece and much bigger than anything I'm used too. (Not to mention the fact I went all Rapunzel and chopped all my hair off). I was worried I wouldn't be able to pull it off because its rather large size and my lack of hair but as you know we're a stubborn bunch so I decided to give it a whirl anyway. Due to its larger size it carries a bit of weight so I definitely suggest putting it on the side of your head with more hair, if you've got a pixie like me or doing a fun updo if your hair is longer to help anchor it into place. The hair piece itself is designed like a fascinator so its attached to a very sturdy metal hair clip, with the belle blossoms logo adorning it.
I, Kirsten, got the opportunity to try out my first snood, and I am so happy it was by Belle Blossoms! The snood is very well made and soft to the touch, I don't think I will be having any issues with it and it will last for a good while. At first I was intimidated when Paola told me I was wearing the snood because I had never even thought about wearing one, and didn't know how to do my hair. My hair is rather short but I managed (I just tucked the excess up and pinned it). I am so happy with the outcome and I hope that more people will take a little step out of their comfort zone, because I did and now I have a new hairstyle I LOVE not to mention a fun new hair piece to add to my collection!
All in all we CANNOT recommend Belle Blossoms enough, even though we won her pieces by sheer luck we will definitely be getting pieces of our own choosing in the near future. Although her pieces are on the higher end of the price spectrum (especially for us pinups on a budget) we consider these something worth splurging for. You not only get what you pay for but you help support a small business and you all know we're a hundred percent for that. For impeccable quality and craftsman ship we give Belle Blossoms a 10/10.

We hope you enjoyed our different take on this fun review. We are very grateful to Miss Lark Bahar for hosting the giveaway and Belle blossoms for providing such beautiful pieces. We definitely had a good time stepping out of our comfort zones (in fact The entire time we were doing this shoot Kirsten kept commenting on her outfit she reminded herself of... Maid Marian (Robin Hood), a character from game of thrones and just plain REGAL!). These were definitely not pieces at first glance we would've picked for ourselves but after trying them we feel bold enough to go out and get some more. Lifes much too short to live in your comfort zone, even us the adventurous duo that we are sometimes forget that. So take a page out of our book and go out there and try something new. If you need new accessories look no further because Belle Blossoms is the place for you! She's got something for everyone even those a little more timid in their hair accessory choices, so definitely give her page a look.
