"It seems to be the fashion nowadays for a girl
to behave as much like a man as possible.
Well, I won't!
I'll make the best of being a girl and be as nice as a specimen as I can:
sweet and modest, a dear, dainty thing with clothes smelling all sweet and violety,
a soft voice, and pretty, womanly ways.
Since I'm a girl, I prefer to be a real one!"
~ Mrs. George de Horne Vaizey, Author (1857-1917)
I love that God created me to be a woman! I love lace, long flowing skirts, the smell of roses and all things floral and feminine! However, when it comes to hair, I can sometimes be dull. When you have long locks, it is easy to get into the ponytail rut! This is why I was thrilled when Hannah offered me the opportunity to try a few Lila Rose Hair Accessories and to host a giveaway on this very blog! The winner will be entitled to pick her favorite hair product from the Lila Rose line and is open to readers around the world (since Lila Rose ships worldwide!)! Giveaway is now closed.
My daughter and I both chose a piece to call our own. There are so many beautiful hair accessories that it was hard to decide! There are flex-clips (shown in photos), hairbands, ornamental bobby pins, hair-sticks and much more! There is something for everyone as Lila Rose offers products to compliment both long and short hair.
I prefer the old-fashioned, romantic and/or artisan style pieces while my daughter loves the antique, western look. There are so many styles to choose from! Which is your favorite?
I was also impressed with the quality. These are not your typical plastic/breakable hair accessories! They are durable and strong and will hold piles of hair if that has been a problem for you in the past. The Lila Rose Website even shares video tutorials to help you prepare the loveliest of hairstyles! It also offers a short video to determine which size is necessary for your hair if you desire the flex-clip (which is what we chose).
""I reckon maybe, if you don't mind, I'd like to fix your hair just a little before I let you see it," she proposed. "May I fix your hair, please?"
"Why, I--suppose so, if you want to," permitted Mrs. Snow, grudgingly; "but 'twon't stay, you know."
"Oh, thank you. I love to fix people's hair," exulted Pollyanna, carefully laying down the hand-glass and reaching for a comb. "I sha'n't do much to-day, of course--I'm in such a hurry for you to see how pretty you are; but some day I'm going to take it all down and have a perfectly lovely time with it, she cried, touching with soft fingers the waving hair above the sick woman's forehead.
For five minutes Pollyanna worked swiftly, deftly, combing a refractory curl into fluffiness, perking up a drooping ruffle at the neck, or shaking a pillow into plumpness so that the head might have a better pose. Meanwhile the sick woman, frowning prodigiously, and openly scoffing at the whole procedure, was, in spite of herself, beginning to tingle with a feeling perilously near to excitement."

Oh, thank you for this opportunity. I have looked at these but have never purchased. I vote for the Cameo Appearance, although they are all quite lovely. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI like many of them....but the two that caught my eye (too hard to narrow it to one..haha!) were the Arwen and Princess Drops.
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting this lovely giveaway! They are all so pretty it is hard to choose, but I will say "Dusky Plum"! : )
ReplyDeleteI love the Ruby Bouquet clips! Thank you for hosting a fun giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marlana
I love the sunniva -they have so many choices! Have a great day
ReplyDeleteThanks you for offering such a wonderful giveaway.It's hard to pick a favorite but mine is Montana. I have just discovered your blog and am enjoying playing "catch up" by reading from the beginning. :) Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the second comment but for some reason I couldn't enter my email in the widget. It is greeneyed65@gmail.com thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for making this contest available to everyone...as a Canadian, I can't tell you how many times I have gotten excited about a giveaway on one of my favourite blog only to find it's only open to Americans. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very hard to choose, but I think I would choose the Scroll Heart, since I have earrings that would match! :) Thanks again for this wonderful giveaway!
What a huge selection! Such a lovely give away! I chose the Scroll Heart. Thank you for letting everyone enter. Xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful, feminine post, JES. Love all the quotes. My hair is long, too, and while I've never really enjoyed working with it, still it must be done. I like the romantic style clips, especially the one featured for this month.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
It is so difficult to choose just one :) After some thinking, I pick Kaleidoscope in XS size. Thank you and Hannah for this lovely giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I have wanted one of these for a ling time. Not sure I understand how to enter! I am going to try..
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Mrs.O
I believe I must say the one I like in comments. Cameo Appearance is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMrs.O
I like a lot of the styles, but I think I'd choose the steampunk flexiclip 😊
ReplyDeleteAmy
Do I have to choose just one... I always wanted the hair sticks. Something leafy. :)
ReplyDeleteEtched Cross. It was hard to pick just one. They're all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI think the essence hair clip is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the "Cameo Appearance" flexi clip..so beautiful! Thank you for hosting this giveaway! Joy and peace to you!
ReplyDeleteI love the tones and look of carmine 😊
ReplyDeleteCameo appearance..it is so feminine and beautiful! I have waist length hair... not sure if a dainty piece like that could hold it. It is gorgeous. I am with you, JES, I love all things old fashioned. I am a middle aged "old soul", ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted to try Lilla Rose for a while. They are all so beautiful. I really love the Celtic heart design.
ReplyDeleteI have just started using these and love the two I have. I think I would like to add "Symphony" in XS right handed if I win.

Those are beautiful pieces, I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely giveaway.
I love the Freestyle flexis!
ReplyDeleteI love the knot.
ReplyDeleteHow can I only have one favorite!!? They're all so beautiful. Okay, as a redhead, I gotta go with a green one. Flitter, with the dragonfly. Gorgeous, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jes! What a fun giveaway! It's so hard to decide... I pick SUSANNAH size medium. Those bright blue beads just catch my eye. I have two Lila Rose clips and I just love them. I too get caught in the pony tail rut and these clips saved me from the depths of hair despair! Lol! Thank you for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteJES, we have bought these over the years at the Homeschool Curriculum fairs. They are wonderful--beautiful and can be used for any length or thickness of hair. Virginia, our daughter, still loves them. What a great post!
ReplyDeleteHi, my mother has given me a few flexi clips and I love them. I think if I could choose another, I'd pick the bow. I love the gold colour and simple and elegant lines. My hair is thick and long so these are so handy for pulling up my hair on these hot summer days here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteI like the silver Bow in XS
ReplyDeleteAlex
Thank you for this opportunity! They're lovely. My choice is Iris, for my daughter who has thicker hair than I and likes vivid colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this opportunity! I would love to win the Iris, for my daughter who loves vivid colors.
ReplyDeleteJES, what a fun giveaway! Thank you for this. I would choose Claire -- so feminine and elegant! Nancy D.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win "TAWNY #2605" in XS for my daughter! Thanks for the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteI own several flexi-clips that I've purchased over the last couple of years. One of my favorite things about them is that they will hold my thin, fine hair; many things don't. My current favorite is "Cherish." Thank you for hosting this give-away!
ReplyDeleteSusan Olson
I just love the simple Tiger Lily one! Very dainty and would go with any outfit. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThey are all so lovely it is so hard to choose just one but I think I would choose Celtic Knot #2763.
ReplyDeleteI have been tossed between two of them, but really they are all beautiful! I think I will go with Montana, although Celtic Knot would be a second choice. How generous of Hannah and you to offer this lovely giveaway! Many blessings and hugs to you both today :)
ReplyDeleteGood evening, dear JES! I just had to pop in and say "hello" as it's been too long. I trust you are well, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteThese flexi-clips are simply wonderful and thanks to Hannah I, too have a few of my own. Please don't enter me in the giveaway as I know one of your sweet readers would LOVE to win one of these clips.
Thinking of you! Hugs!
Hi Jes,
ReplyDeleteOh, I like so many! I just got my first Flexi for me. It was Celtic Knot.
I just saw Sunniva 2715. I like it a lot, too. It's hard to choose one. Have a great week!
I'm working on a new apron using an old tattered one for a pattern.
I'm also trying to kick a cold/sore throat. The irony! I just posted about fighting colds!

These hair clips are so lovely 😊 I have super long hair and am always looking for hair ideas! Thank you for featuring these 🌸

ReplyDeleteAla
I would choose Rainbow Cluster XS for my granddaughter. Thank you for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLydia
Hello, JES. Thank you for this sweet opportunity. I choose the ELEGANT FLOWER XXL. XXL because my hair is very long and bulky. Thank you! God bless you! Jessica, from Brazil.
ReplyDeleteHi JES, I've had one of these on my wish list for ages. My daughter has one and loves it! I would choose The Bow (2959) in XXL. Thanks for promoting this wonderful product.
ReplyDeleteOh, goodness! Soooo many beautiful options, and I've also wanted one. Owning and using the Lila Rose hair slips might allow me to finally grow my hair long again, which would be so encouraging in my return to practicing more feminine ways.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was the Celtic Knot (silver, #2763).
I have a flexi clip I love! Next time I would like to get a headband!
ReplyDeleteFinally some beautiful accessories for our hair...no more rubberbands. Would just love INTERLOCKING VINES, #2424...it was hard making a decision...thank you!

ReplyDeleteSo many choices......but Essence caught my eye!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, one of my older sisters has one and loves it, I was never interested because I thought they were all fancy; fancy and me just don't mix. Glad to find some simple ones; just hard to pick which one, but I guess I'll go with love birds.
ReplyDeleteCharisa.
Oh wow, one of my big sisters has one and loves it. I was never interested as I thought they were fancy; fancy and me just don't mix. Glad to see some simple ones, now the problem of which one, I guess I'll go with Love birds.

ReplyDeleteOne of my sisters has one of these, and even though I was interested I just never had the time to look for them, I really like Celtic heart
ReplyDeleteOne of my sisters has these. I really like the Celtic Heart.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what lovely things. I believe "Allie" bobbies would be used and enjoyed greatly. Thank you for the opportunity.
