An online friend, Sarah, recently opened her own online shop for girls’ hair accessories, 2 lil Angels Boutique. She explains the reason for starting her own online shop:
She was disappointed in the cheap accessories offered in retail stores, and could never find that perfect finishing touch from other online boutiques.
I can definitely agree with that! When Alyssa was younger, it was very difficult to find hair accessories that were made with quality materials and made to last, and then to find ones that were appealing! Even now, it can be a struggle to find bows, bands and barrettes that can withstand the vigorous activities of a three and a half year old whirlwind.
So when Sarah asked if I would like to try out some of her products with Alyssa, I was more than happy to oblige! I had already been checking out her boutique, and looking over the various available colors and trying to come up with some nice combinations. (I also have my eye on the custom tutus, but don’t tell Alyssa! I think she’d explode before being able to wait until her fourth birthday — October — for one!)
Alyssa couldn’t wait to try out the three hair accessories from 2 lil Angels Boutique:
She liked the small patterned bow.
She really loved the white Shallyn Bow.
But was sort of “meh” about the Punky Pink Clippie.
But that’s okay, because I like it, and it works great with my hair!
So now that I’ve told you what Alyssa thinks of the hair accessories, you may be wondering what I think of them. Well, I really like them! The patterns available are adorable, and the bows themselves are put together very well. Even with me fussing with them, Alyssa putting them in and taking them out several times, and Ryan yanking a bow out of her hair this morning, they’re still looking as good as new! The fasteners — french barrette for the bows and alligator clip for the Clippie — are firmly attached to the bows, and do quite well with keeping a hold of Alyssa’s thick hair. 
So I am definitely sold… any hair accessory that can hold up to being mauled at repeatedly is good as gold in my book!
Wow. If her hair is as thick of mine, I might have to get some hair stuff from her.
(I also almost want a custom tutu. o.o)
you know what is so freaking awesome about this? she has stuff that matched gymbo lines. she officially rocks.
Thanks :D
I have my own tutu actually LOL so I can totally make them in adult sizes.
They’re so fun lol! And sexy heh ;)
And omg. I love Gymbo so I really like to make stuff to match them.
The bows are very cute, but Alyssa’s eyes in the third picture are stunning! You have such a beautiful daughter
I myself has had/have one pink bow that I adore the hell out of. I LOVE it. And I love the white bow in Alyssa’s hair. It looks cute.

I wanted to make some of my own bows and stuff to match outfits for Sydney that I’m buying for back to school this year. Can we say cutest kindergarten kid ever? Since I suck so bad at it I may contact you with the gymbo lines and see if you can come up with anything for me. You are way more talented than I am.
Ranee –
Of course, that would be awesome!
I bought a set of clippies from her and I love them! I plan on getting some more here soon, too.
Alyssa looks so pretty in those pictures. Her eyes are gorgeous!
