Toddler Photo Shoot with Girls Costumes

***Disclosure-Costume was received for review purposes.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

I love dress up time with my daughter.  She loves to pretend she is a princess, and sometimes I don't think she is pretending.  She, like most little girls her age, love to play dress up.  Do you have a little girl or boy who loves to play pretend?  Of course, when playing pretend you need to be in character. 

Costumes can also be used for great photo shoot options for birthdays, holidays, and everyday pictures.  We recently decided to take our daughter to a new play land that has a castle, dragons, and beautiful landscapes to take pictures.  Who would of thought that the play land in the mall would be a perfect place to take pictures of your kids?  When thinking photo shoot, think about just letting your kiddo have fun and you capturing those moments.

-I have learned that with our daughter it is just better to let her do her thing than asking her to pose and smile.

-With any toddler, be prepared for all things going wrong.

-Bring help.  Mamis, papis, big brothers, and sisters can all join in the fun too!  But they can also be a helping hand when needed.

-Don't get frustrated when the shot your are looking for isn't working.  You can always edit the pictures later.  Just keep the camera shooting, one shot might come out great out of all the outtakes.

We let our daughter just run around this play land and I just shot pictures of her all over.  In some pictures there were kids or parents in the way.

-Remember to pick a time that works out good for you, your kid, and the place you will be using.  I thought showing up early would be perfect but this place is popular as it was already full at opening time.

Everyone loved seeing my daughter in her costume at the play land.  No one else was dressed up except for her.  But her costume was so cute and it went with the castle play land.  We have a poised, little girl who loves the camera, dress up, and the attention!

We had not done a photo shoot with our toddler.  It was fun until it was time to go.  She did not want to leave the onsite location.  But who would want to leave a beautiful play land like this one.  Makes pretending to be a princess so much more real than playing at your house.



   

Sexy Toe Tappin Flapa Women's 20s Flapper Costume Review

Disclosure-Sample product was received to review.  All opinions are my own.

So I love to throw parties, themed parties.  I have done the disco theme, black and white, 80s and have been wondering what is next in the party line up.  So I am turning 35 this year, but shhhh in my head I tell myself I am still in my roaring 20s.  So when I was thinking of throwing myself a party, I thought why not go back in time.  I was thinking to a different era where everyone would be dressed in 1920s fashion.  Everyone has so much fun when they dress up.  This was not our time but I when I think of those times, I think of short skirts, dacing, and lots of fun.  My parties are always alot of fun.  So of course, I need the perfect costume as I am the party host and it is my birthday.  I was thinking of glitz meets snazzy.  Why in my head I just said-And All the Jazzzzz...lol..

I wasn't sure if I wanted to be a sexy flapper, gangster, or a cabaret girl but this dress is my style.

It is sexy.  It is shiny.  It fits perfect.  Thanks to Anytime Costumes for sending me the Sexy Toe Tappin Flapa Women's 20s Flapper Costume.  It is a stretch knit strapless dress with unique drop waist, draping sequin trim and removable shoulder straps. It includes a sequin neckband and matching sequin and feather headband.
Now all  I need is some white gloves, one of those long cigarette holders, and some sexy silver heels.  Oh yeah and of course plan my party, decorate, send out invitations, and have a blast at my party.  Well at least the important part is done-my perfect birthday outfit.

Buccaneer Beauty Review

I love throwing themed parties.  I also like dressing up.  Come on now, who wants to grow up...lol.

Well through a recent conversation with my husband and his family, we found out my poor husband felt he never had had a little kids birthday party he could at least remember.  So me being the great wife that I am and understanding him and his feelings, decided to throw him a little kids pirate party.

I got a pinata, candy bags, and I even dressed up.  You know every party needs a clown and guess what, I was the clown, per say.  I was a Pirate buccaneer. 

My husband got a real kick out of my costume and so did the guest.  As I greeted everyone at the door.  "Arrrggggg, Matey!" "Ahoy"

Hey we work hard, but we play harder.  We are allowed to wear adult costumes, especially a pirate costume.

My thoughts-This Buccaneer Beauty costume is a Plus Size that comes in 2X and 3X.  It is a corset style without the pain of a real corset.  It was easy to pull it over.  I didn't have to suck it all day long. The skirt is elastic.  I was able to pull it over my biking shorts.  And was able to feast all day long on the Pirate mush I made. 

Plus Size Costume Super Center has risk free shopping.  Free exchanges.  They pay shipping both ways.

The party was a blast!
