June Sponsors

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share some love to my current sponsors for June, which are all awesome btw. So be sure to check them out!


If you are a long time reader of Bramblewood Fashion, you know I adore Marie-Madeline studio and their patterns, especially the Route 66 & Summer Shade Jumper patterns {My Route 66 skirt review & Summer Shade B-day Dress Post}. Anyhow, they sell a bunch of patterns, fabric, custom made clothing, and quilts {which are wonderful! I personally own one & it is always on my bed}.

Black Ruffle Fabric & Leopard Elastic

Wouldn't these two be adorable together for a knee-length ruffle skirt? I've been wanting to add some leopard print to my wardrobe for awhile now, this might be the perfect way to do so. You can find both of these on their website.

What are a few of your favorite things from Marie-Madeline Studio?


Paulina Carmel is my last sponsor & I'll be doing a product review for them once the dress I want is back in-stock. I really can't wait, as it is a basic piece that is needed in every wardrobe. Anyways, they have beautiful dresses & skirts that are modest, yet stylish.

Aren't these dresses beautiful? I wouldn't mind having all three dresses in my closest. Besides these dresses, Paulina Carmel also has some lovely skirts that I love too. Just go check out her site and leave a comment with your favorite thing{s}. *smile*

Also, anyone who wants to become a sponsor can do so at any time now {the ad can be for your blog, etsy shop, etc...}. Just check out my sponsor page here for the price that works for you & upload your ad.

GlossyBox US | 2012 May Box Review

GlossyBox US // 2012 May Box Review
After waiting months for GlossyBox to become available in the US, I was thrilled to get an email last month saying, it was time to sign-up to receive your GlossyBox for May. Yes, it is like Birchbox, but with GlossyBox you get products from around the world and they are travel sized products, not sample. Another thing, it is more money then BB too, but I really love this subscription site. In fact, I might cancel my BB subscription next month and just get GlossyBox. That is how much I love this. Right now my three favorite {I'm-in-love-with-this} subscription sites are: 1) Little Black Bag 2) StyleMint 3)Glossybox Of course, I'm only subscribed to 5 sites {& I skip some months}. The other two are Birchbox and JustFab - which I like too, but those three that I listed, I just can't get enough of them!

This what the inside of the box looks like. Their packaging is adorable! The bonus product in my box was the GlossyBox blush brush.
GlossyBox US // 2012 May Box Review
1) Burberry Beauty Lip Mist Natural Sheer Lipstick Copper No.202 {UK} Price of Full Size: $30 - "A creamy lipstick that offers a hint of natural, sheer color leaving your lips moist and dewy." I was so excited to see a Burberry product in my box, as I love this brand, well, from just looking as I don't own anything from Burberry. Just look, they even have the Burberry plaid imprinted on the lipstick! Too cute. Anyways, I love this sheer lipstick.
GlossyBox US // 2012 May Box Review
2) ZOYA Summer 2012 - Beach and Surf Collection {USA} Price of Full Size: $8 - "Dive into the creamy shades and shimmering sea foils of the Zoya Beach & Surf Collection. Allow your nails to go on vacation every day." At first I was like, "I'm not sure if I'll wear this color" as I've never own a shimmer polish before. Now I just love this color & polish! I've been wearing it non-stop since it arrived on my nails.

3) Amore Pacific Moisture Bound Refreshing Hydra-Gel Price of Full Size $100 - "A mineral rich, oil- free, hydrating gel, which encourages skin's optimal hydration levels for a clearer, and radiantly smooth complexion. Unique, water-free formulation utilizes Stabilized Bamboo Sap in lieu of distilled water for improved skin vitality. Infused with brightening botanicals such as Ginger Root and stress fighting minerals such as Magnesium to leave the complexion refreshingly hydrated with a vibrant, clear and matte appearance." I haven't tried this product out yet. It smells great & love the minty color. *smile*
GlossyBox US // 2012 May Box Review
4) PHYTO Phytojoba Intense Hydrating Mask for Dry Hair {France} Price of Full Size: $38 - "A staple at top salons, this aromatic formula, enriched with jojoba oil, instantly moisturizes, softens, and detangles without weighing your hair down. A unique concentration of angelica root extract (75%) and essential oil of sweet orange imparts brilliance and vitality. Your hair regains silkiness, elasticity and manageability." This is my first time using a hair mask, and I must say, this stuff is pretty awesome. I've used it a couple times already and I can tell a difference with my hair. It is softer, and feels less dry.
GlossyBox US // 2012 May Box Review
  5) MARVIS Whitening Mint Toothpaste {Italy} Price for Full Size $7.50 - "Imported from Florence, Italy, Marvis is a superior dental brand that has been loved in Italy for generations. Marvis Whitening, with a sharp taste of cool mint for a pleasant and lasting freshness, carries out a whitening activity on your teeth for a more beautiful and splendid smile. The whitening formula protects your teeth, helps prevent tooth decay, tartar and plaque. Meanwhile innovative notes offer you a long-lasting pleasurable taste sensation and fresh breath all day long. This distinctive, display-worthy tube will most likely be the best looking accessory in your bathroom." Once again, I haven't tried out this one either {I just keep grabbing my normal toothpaste}. Hmm...maybe I should try it out tonight? Anyways, it is mint {which is my favorite flavor}.

I'm thinking I might cancel my Birchbox subscription & just get the Glossybox {it depends on how good the June Glossybox is}. Anyways, as of right now I really enjoy this subscription site, and the good thing is that they ship to a bunch of countries around the world. Yay, for my international readers! Just google Glossybox and your country to see if you can get one too.

What I'm Wearing: Cut-off Jean Shorts refashioned by me // Cream Tee Forever 21 // Gray Tank J.C.Penny // Peacock Necklace 'ZAD via LBB // Dangle Earrings Target // Sandals Forever 21

Today is the final day of the challenge! Yay! I'm very excited that I can wear what ever I want from now on. I sure missed the rest of my closet while doing this challenge - but I made it all the way through {even though some days were hard}. Thank you to everyone who did the challenge with me - it has been lots of fun. 

This evening Gaby & I will be having a sleepover in her room. Our plan is to watch some Ronald Reagan movies, like: Brother Rat {1938} and The Stallion Road {1947} - both of which neither of us have seen. Who knows, we might watch something else too. *smile* What are your plans for this evening?

Oh, before I forget. How do y'all like the new blog look? I spent yesterday evening {& part of the night} and most of today getting everything all correct for the new layout. I also have a new sponsor page layout that you might want to check out here. Also, I can now directly reply to your comment {my answer will now appear directly below yours - yay!}.

What I'm Wearing: Jean Cutoff Shorts Originally jeans from J.C.Penny before I refashioned them into shorts // Lace Blouse Forever 21 // Rose Ring either won in a giveaway or Etsy // Dangle Earrings Robert Rose via LBB // Sandals Forever 21 

I was browsing through my outfit posts for the challenge when I discovered, I haven't post any pictures of me wearing these shorts. I have been wearing them during the challenge {after church & such}, just never took pictures of me wearing them. I really like wearing this lace blouse with the shorts, it gives the outfit a very girly feel. I think this outfit could become a summer staple.

What is your summer staple outfit?

What I'm Wearing: Hi-Low Maxi skirt made by me // Tee Target // Belt, Earrings, & Sandals Forever 21 

This is will be a quick post this evening. I just came back from driving my siblings to their Bible studies. While me & my mom waited for them we dropped by Anthropologie to look around. I found some cute things, but didn't buy anything. If their clearance prices were $10 cheaper I would have bought some cute tops.

This afternoon I cleaned my closest & played dress-up. I found a white 1900s dress I had made several years that could be accessorized to be more modern. I paired the dress with nude pumps, the belt I'm wearing in this post, and my burgundy floppy hat. I also tried on my "new" navy & white polka-dots skirt and refashioned blouse. Oh, the skirt fits me like a dream! It is like it was custom made for me! It is Ah-mazing. I can't wait to wear it next week. Only two more days of the event! Yay!

Who Inspires Me (Fashion Wise) | Debbie Reynolds


Gosh! It has been a very long time since I've done one of these posts. In fact, it was October of last year. In the past I've done: Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Judy Garland, Deanna Durbin, and Lauren Bacall. Can you believe I started this series over two years ago? I need to stop doing these posts months apart.

It is fun to look back at the other posts in this series, as I've seen so many more movies of theirs since then. In fact, I've seen almost all of Grace Kelly, Deanna Durbin, and Judy Garland's movies. I've also seen a good number of Audrey Hepburn's films now.

Now, about Debbie Reynolds, who is the lovely lady featured in today's post. Debbie is adorable, and way too cute for words. I love finding pictures of her wearing fur coats - she looks simply darling in them! Besides loving her adorable wardrobe, I really enjoy her movies too!

Debbie looks great in a fur coat - would mind having a vintage one myself.
Adorable. You could recreate this look using: shorts, peter pan collared blouse, and a pair of oxfords.
Too cute!
This picture is from the film, I Love Melvin.

You can see a bunch of Debbie Reynolds pictures here. Which ones are your favorites?

Movies I've seen her in:
Singin' in the Rain {1952}
I Love Melvin {1953} {movie review}
Susan Slept Here {1954}
The Tender Trap {1955}
The Catered Affair {1956}
Bundle of Joy {1956}
Tammy and the Bachelor {1957}
My Six Loves {1963}
Charlotte's Web {1973}

What are YOUR favorite Debbie Reynolds films?
