CNA Boutique – Review & Giveaway

I recently got the chance to review felt flower clips from CNA Boutique, a new online shop that’s having its grand opening TODAY!

I just love these clips. First of all, they’re felt, which I’m always drawn to for some reason. Secondly, the colors of the flowers are bright and cheery. They’re also really well constructed and high quality. Priced at just $3.50, they’re a great bargain, too.

Of course, they’re meant to go in your hair:

which they do quite well. These are great for all ages, in my opinion. Their clean design and often monochromatic color scheme makes them work well for adults and teens, but the  shape of the flower is a classic one that would translate well for younger girls, too.

I got to thinking about these clips and quickly realized there were other potential uses for them… I could dress up a pair of shoes:

I just had a pair of flip flops on hand, but how cute would these be on a pair of flats?

You could also use them to add some flair to a jacket:

Regardless of how you choose to wear them, I think the flower clips are a great accessory to add to your collection. And guess what? You might get one sooner than you think – I get to do a giveaway!
