Yummy Bows!~ [Sponsored]

 I was so excited when I was able pick out my choice of 3 bows to share with you all from Bowkuma [link]<3
First of all, their customer service was prompt and friendly when I was emailing them questions and it was an absolute joy speaking with them. Also, my package came in in lightning speed, not even 3 days after I placed my order which was lovely! Then they even gave me some sweet candies which I inhaled as soon as I saw them, and they remembered that I absolutely love Sentimental Circus and they gave me a little gift of a few stationary pages which I put into my little memory box!
Like, I'm just so enamored with how much they put into their work and how much they care for the people receiving their products, like it makes my heart warm<3

Anywho, sorry, I got a bit side tracked with my sentiments;;

On to the bows themselves:
I got a large floral bow 'Cotton' [link]

 When I say large, I mean large. The bow is larger than my hand coming it at roughly 6 inches!
It's attached to an alligator clip which I really prefer over the snap clasps, and it doesn't slide down which always is a problem with snap clasps for me because my hair is so fine.
I also find the craftsmanship is impeccable  no exposed seams, I can barely see traces of glue on the underside and it's just very well done.
So far when I've been using it, I've been wearing it high on my head to create a foux cat ear look, in a way that's subtle but remaining cute.

 The print is very elegant and beautiful, especially with spring coming around the corner~
 I also chose the super cute 'Smores' bow [link]
The Smores bow is wonderfully unique with cute little graham crackers, and chocolate shavings on drippy marshmallow... Though they might look quite realistic, it's not edible but made quite solidly and shows no chance of having anything come lose or falling off.

I have gotten so many compliments on this bow when I'm out, and how amazing the detailing is and how unique it is.
 Also, since the colours are quite neutral, it can go with a lot of my outfits without looking overdone or out of place~
 The last, and my favourite bow I received is the 'Japanese Leek' bow [link] inspired by this little guy here~

The inspiration behind it was so quirky, I had to get it! Who can say they have a bow with a leek on it!
 
 I don't think people get why my bow has some vegetable on it when I wear it, but when I wear it out it puts a spring in my step, because I always have in mind the little running leek ~
Plus, it's really cute! My friends always have a good giggle when I wear this bow and it makes me so happy that even something as simple as a bow can make those around me smile<3

Thank you so much Bowkuma for letting me share your amazing bows!

Cute Bows Galore!!!! [Sponsored]

 A lovely shop called bowkuma made themselves known to me and I couldn't be more excited!
They specialize in cute accessories like Mickey or sweets earrings and rings, to amazingly stylish animal ear headbands to their vast assortment of sweet bows~
I was able to pick out 3 things to review and I picked from their collection of bows, because a girl can't have too many bows!
The package came really quickly too which is always a plus..
[and I got a Sentimental Circus sticker!!!!!!!!!!!! Like, I flipped out...]

 I received my set of 3 standard size pastel bows, large bee bow [the size of an american apparel bow] and 2 petite drippy bows~
Each bow has an alligator clip in the back that is very sturdy and doesn't deem like it will come off and the bows themselves are made of great material!!

I was really upset at myself for not finding them before I started buying my bow collection at American Apparel, not only are AA's boys more expensive but over the past 4 months they've all fallen off their clips and I've had to re-glue them and some of them in store had icky stuff on the back of them...

Not these bow! Not only are they affordable but they're SUCH good quality and they are all so well made and come in unique designs like, with eyeballs or blood splatters or very sweet prints [reminiscent of lolita dresses]~

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to show them off and wear them!
 Here's my favorite to wear as a pop of colour in my hair, over the past 2 days I've gotten a lot of compliments on this bow~ Probably because not a lot of people have seen a bow with drippy frosting on it!
 I love this one too, it's more subtle but the glitter on it is soo beautiful~ and it doesn't turn my hair all glittery either<3


 The pastel bows are so pretty and just perfect. They're the perfect shade of pastel and go with almost all my outfits! It's a perfect staple~
 Okay, I just really wanted this bow cause it reminded me of Winnie the Pooh and was to precious to pass up! The bees are so wonderful! I've never seen a pattern like it and, ugh, it's too cute!

 Here's a more detailed picture of the drip and bee bow<3


Also, Monsieur Alpaca and Mr. Shumon like the bows too!
I'm glad to tell you all that Bowkuma has given me a discount code for you to use!
If you enter in 'Carisse' you get 10% off orders over $5 before shipping~

I am so glad to bring you another lovely shop and a good discount!
Have fun shopping!
