Today I paid my 1st visit to a Charming Charlie store & all I can say is WOW! Neat accessories & everything arranged by color, plus the layout & design of the store is just classy.

It's halfway through the month, so all I could afford is a ring for now. I definitely want to go back when I have more dough.

Earlier this month I bought a couple items from Claire's online store. I got a ring & a bag. The bag was a bit bigger than expected, but that's ok because I've already found a good use for it. :) As you can see from my purple finger in the image, the Claire's ring is a wee bit too tight, lol.

So, the Claire's ring is a bit of a disappointment. It's not as pretty in person & it's kinda tight. I love the bag though & I love the ring I got from Charming Charlie.

So, what do you guys think? Have you shopped at both stores & how would you compare them? My impression is that Charming Charlie is a bit more grown-up & very classy. I still like Claire's though. Let me know your thoughts in the comments! :)

Charming Charlie - A Cool Accessories Store!

I just recently heard about an accessories store called Charming Charlie & I've discovered that there's one not far from where I live. They organize their accessories by color (purple, red, pink, blue sections & more), which is awesome because that should make it a lot easier to find an accessory in the right color for your outfit!

I've heard it described as being like a more grown-up Claire's on steroids, which sounds cool because I love Claire's. I hope to check it out soon! Have any of you, my readers, heard of or visited a Charming Charlie store? What did you think? Let me know in the comments! :)

Makeup Brushes & Uses

I did this video because my niece recently got her very first set of makeup brushes (SQUEEE!) & wanted to know how to use them.
