Fun, Functional and Fashionable: LAVISHY Boutique {Review & Giveaway - 3 winners!}

LAVISHY logo
When it comes to shopping online, there's no question that there are a large number of sites to visit. After all, with nearly a billion websites on the world wide web, figuring out where to start is a conundrum all in its own.

Which is why when you discover a gem that offers unique, fun, affordable and fashionable accessories, how can you not start to mentally make multiple shopping lists — one for you, one for friends and family, one for teachers... it's easy when there are so many well-made, stylish options at LAVISHY Boutique!

LAVISHY Boutique

A Toronto-based online and brick-and-mortar store, LAVISHY opened its doors to offer customers a wide array of products of their own design as well as those that they found and enjoyed from trade shows. And, as their items have been featured in various publications across the world (hundreds of times) and have been sold by fine retailers from Paris to Tokyo, clearly I'm not the only one who has been impressed.

Upon visiting LAVISHY for the first time, I immediately loved all of the bright colors and whimsical designs offered on everything from laptop bags to coin purses to jewelry to stationary, as well as how easy the site was to browse.

Looking for a new wallet? Simply click on LAVISHY's wallet category or any of the six sub-categories and you find just about every color under the sun with designs that range from chic to playful.

Or maybe you want to buy your best friend a gift for her birthday but aren't sure what to get? If you know one of her interests (such as dogs, elephants or birds), LAVISHY also has their products categorized by subject matter for easy browsing.

All you need to know is that she likes peacocks and you are presented with a whole slew of fashionable and fun options!

Who doesn't love shopping made easy?

While I found myself enamored with quite a few of the options that LAVISHY has to offer, I was thrilled when a package arrived containing a selection of their products each in their own darling floral boxes. I love when companies make their items completely ready for gifting (or just to keep for yourself)!

gift boxes

Inside, I found four items that were each just the right combination of unique, classy and trendy.

gift ideas

I have been needing a new wallet for quite some time, so I couldn't wait to move my items into my new Wallet with Embroidery ($27.99) so that it could be put to use.

The colorful paisley design stands out against the blue animal-friendly vegan "leather," allowing me to carry something that is fashionable while knowing that there were no animals actually harmed in its creation.

Plus, with the great stitching detail and the amount of storage on the inside (photo ID pocket, card slots, spaces for bills, a zipper pocket for change, etc), this is one wallet that does it all!

While my wallet is one of the most common items pulled from my purse, every time I attend a conference or press trip I am also reaching for my business cards... which is where the Daisy Embossed Cardholder ($9.99) will be perfect!

Made from the same buttery soft vegan imitation leather, this cardholder is lightweight and roomy and allows me to easily slip a business card out anytime I need one.

When I want to look the part to match my fashionable wallet and cardholder, the Boho Chic Black Necklace ($22.99) adds just the right amount of drama and style to any outfit.

Dress up jeans and a t-shirt or liven up a blouse and skirt with the multiple strands of jet black beads and beaded flower that come together to make this necklace eye-catching and fun.

Finally, there is hardly a day that goes by that I don't look to add a headband or clip to my hair (both for fashion purposes as well as to help tame my wild locks), and the Blue and Pink Flower Hair Clip ($9.95) is my new favorite.

The silky fabrics layered under the beads and pearls makes this clip refined enough to be worn by adults, yet sweet enough that either of my daughters could borrow it as well.

  158. I know this giveaway is over and I did NOT win - but I still want to thank you for the review and the intro. I will definitely be doing some Christmas shopping here - and including fo myself! I'm so glad your giveaway led me to their wallets/coin purses - because there are several that are exactly what I need and have been looking for - for quite awhile now and I just couldn't find anything I liked in the right size (5"x5" poin purse big enough for IDs & credit cards - but small enough for a small shoulder of cross body purse - and the prize is right - even if the shipping is a little steep... - still worth it.)

    Thanks again - I really appreciate it!
