~ Zush ~ Etsy Shop Review



My overall feeling of the jewelry in this shop is a chic modern traditional design. I really enjoy how all her pieces are stylish, elegant and eye catching color. When wearing these pieces it would be impossible to not be a beautiful woman!


The beautiful woman who has created this shop in hopes of sharing her love of jewelry and the making of it, is nicknamed Zush hence the shop title! It just sounds great saying it a few times even! She is a happily married mother of one living in Brisbane, Australia. Like most Moms with daughters hopes to pass on her passion and share in those special family moments. She uses only the finest quality in material such as sterling silver, swarovski crystal and freshwater pearls. This is quite apparent in her pieces and is what really draws me to her shop.


This gorgeous brightly colored necklace uses an absolutely stunning circle of turquoise and the attention to detail is marvelous! There is a tiny mother of pearl flower shell to add a lovely feminine touch. The bright colors are such a playful contrast with the interlocking rings and the dark color off the metal. I Love the vivaciousness, it has a way of announcing your presence and a positive vibe just from wearing it.




This pretty pink flower ring is on my wish list for sure! Flowers are the hot item in fashion but this one is a classic. I love that it is cameo like and the cute little pink rose looks as if it's blooming while you're wearing it.





You can find earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets and all her pieces come beautifully wrapped to make opening your purchase or sharing it with another all the more sweet. Zush offers shipping internationally however free to all customers in Australia with pick up available if you live close by. I highly recommend visiting this shop and keeping tabs on all her up and coming phenomenal designs.

Little Jumping Beans Review


Fashionable loving parents need to come visit Little Jumping Bean's shop! They have all sort of baby gear that can help, style and entertain your little one.


I myself have bought the soft soled baby shoes that promote development for babies feet before. I have to say I was unfortunate in not knowing about this shop sooner and didn't have the great designs and prices to choose from for my own two girls. If only someone had told me sooner!! They have a teeny tiny size but bold with flair. My fave would have to be pea pod, I love green and the design is so stylish! Or oh my goodness a pair done in damask, you know your baby group mom's will be all over those ones!


In case you didn't know...Podiatrists recommend that babies learn to walk barefoot for their feet to develop naturally. My girls feet tend to get a little chilly especially in winter time and I wasn't comfortable just letting them walk all over dirty situations either. Soft soled shoes allow children to feel and grip the ground which is good for for muscle development and you don't have to worry about the constant hard clumsy falls, that happen in stiff heavy shoes. My girls loved their shoes and when they were beyond using them as walking shoes they made awesome slippers, they actually wore them till they were three. Now that's an investment!


I have also found over sized receiving blankets. Now anyone who has tried to swaddle their baby in traditional sized receiving blankets know that they are just too small and you can forget it if they are cotton because the shrinkage is disastrous! These will snuggle and soothe your baby without a fuss. They are flannelet to keep them warm with a cute fabric to keep them ready for the constant barrage of mommy's picture taking addiction!


You have to check out this wonderful shop on Etsy. With the great selection of stylish baby gear, you can be certain your little jumping bean will be decked out in personality and panache!

I invite all my readers to let me know what you think of the shop and what you liked the best. Then a randomly drawn comment will receive 10% off at my Everyday Diamonds shop!
