KOEZY Micro-Fleece Wrap Review

April 12, 2012 By

Is it as cold where you live as it is here in Michigan? Where it SNOWED for a few minutes yesterday?  Do you work in an air-conditioned office building where sometimes the air is on full blast and you need something to wrap yourself in? If so, then do what I’m doing and Get Your KOEZY on! KOEZY is a micro-fleece wrap designed by two Moms that is fashionable, comfortable, affordable, and in my personal opinion, AWESOME.

Koezy goes on like a cardigan and then fastens in a really cool way. You pull a tie from one side through a loop on the other side.  You can wear it loosely or cinch it tight.  I wear mine in the mornings when I wait with Kaitlyn for the bus, and it keeps me so warm!  It’s also great for chilly mornings when I’m dropping my husband off at carpool, evening walks, I’ve even used it as a sort of blanket while watching TV on the couch.  I’m definitely taking my KOEZY when I fly to Atlanta next month -when I get back I land at 10:30 at night and I’m for sure going to need it!

KOEZY wraps come in three neutrals that go with everything, plus they each have a splash of color: Blissful Black (with turquoise closure), Charming Camel (with tortoiseshell closure and Irresistible Ivory (with tortoiseshell closure.)   I got the Camel and it looks great with jeans as well as navy or black dress pants.  Because KOEZY is so adjustable, you’ll get a customized fit. The sizes are small (2-6), medium (8-12), large (14-18) and extra large (20-24).  Here are even more reasons to buy a KOEZY!

KOEZY has a wealth of benefits that solve common clothing issues:

Wide collar gives a stylish look when open and can protect the neck from the cold when closed

Roll-up sleeves can fit any length of arms and can be rolled down to protect hands in colder weather

Unusual and easy-to-use wraparound closure:
a) offers a splash of color
b) easily adjusts to accommodate the amount of clothing a woman wears beneath it
c) gives a more fitted look
d) won’t fall off (as buttons do)

Two deep pockets comfortably hold a number of items without looking bulky

Mid-thigh length is:
a) flattering
b) offers additional protection in cooler temperatures
c) still won’t interfere with rolling office chairs when draped across their backs between wearings

Right-weight micro-fleece:
a) is plush and warm without feeling restrictive
b) is pill-resistant
c) is wrinkle-resistant so packs well
d) is washable and won’t fade

Moderately priced at $49.99so women can afford to buy more than one color or purchase several to keep in different places (at the office, in the car, at home)Can be accessorized with pins to become even more personalized and stylish

Now that you know how awesome KOEZY is, go get one for yourself at koezy.com! Also makes a perfect Mother’s Day Gift!!

February 28, 2012 By

Congratulations, you’re engaged! Now you just have to find the perfect dress to wear on your special day, your wedding dress! Women have so many choices when it comes to choosing their bridal gown, and there is the perfect dress for every bride out there, it’s just a matter of finding it. You can even wear a gown inspired by a Disney Princess!

Fairytale designer bridal gowns from Alfred Angelo are designed to make any woman feel like a true princess when she walks down the aisle. This amazing dress is the “Snow White”, and just looking at the photo takes my breath away! It’s a Ball gown with a folded satin bodice, asymmetric tulle pick-up skirt, fabric flowers, lace vine motifs, and a chapel train. I think it’s stunning.

There are seventeen dresses available in the Fairytale collection, each inspired by a Disney Princess. And to continue the look in the wedding party, Alfred Angelo also has bridesmaid gowns called the “Disney Maidens” collection, and they are equally beautiful. Nine different dresses, sixty shades, one is sure to match the wedding color scheme perfectly!

To complete the bridal party,  Alfred Angelo’s Fairytale collection includes flower girl dresses they call “Blossoms”, and if anything makes me wish I could get married all over again, it’s these dresses. Any little girl would feel like a true princess wearing one of these sweet little gowns! This is the Blossoms dress in “Snow White” that coordinates with the bridal gown I showed above.

If you are planning a wedding, check out the breathtaking dresses available from Alfred Angelo. I wish I had a good excuse to wear one!

Guest Post: Keep Warm With Damart Thermals

February 6, 2012 By

The groundhog saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter,  and here in Michigan, that means there was a layer of frost on the ground this morning, and the forecast for the weekend is snow!  I. Am. FREEZING.  My husband hates it, but when it is just too cold to get warm even under a sheet, blanket, and quilt, I put on thermal underwear. Don’t laugh! Thermals are designed to provide an extra layer of warmth under your clothes, and “long johns” are also very comfy to wear as pajamas!

There’s even a British manufacturer called Damart that makes thermal JEANS! I remember when long johns came in white and red and that was pretty much it. Now the same thermal fabric is turned into tops, sweaters, dresses, pants, boots – it’s the warmth of long johns in clothing you can actually wear out of the house :)

Check out the mens thermal vests and all the other surprisingly fashionable clothes that Damart makes that also keep you warm!  If that groundhog was right, it’s going to be thermal clothing weather for a while :)
