Speciality Collectables Review & Giveaway

I have to confess that while I am in my late 20’s (*sob*) there is still a special place in my heart for childhood favourites like Rainbow Brite, Jem and Shera. I’m sure that I have the same sentiment for these shows that my children will bring forward for Cody Maverick (Surf’s Up) and Dora the Explorer.

Adding small touches of my favourites to my day to day wardrobe is a fun way to spruce up my wardrobe. So when I came across Angela’s shop Speciality Collectables I was ecstatic! Not only do her items fill my need for memorabilia of my childhood, they’re super high quality, and very reasonably priced to boot! The image is firmly attached to the backing, and is not simply a sticker glued on. These products are designed to last in a world that seems to have turned disposable.

With 1057 Items currently listed you are bound to find something perfect for just about everyone on your list!

rainbowbrite My choice (of course) was the Rainbow Brite & Twink Logo Belt with none other than the Rainbow Belt. Angela currently offers 14 different belt colours for coordinating with your buckle. The whole look and feel of this belt is very retro, and very fitting with the subject matter. It actually looks like something that I would have owned growing up in the 80’s.

One other thing that I love about Speciality Collectables is that they can also turn your images into custom products. Have a favourite picture that you’d love to give someone? Sent it along in email and they’ll make it work for you.

Angela of Speciality Collectables has generously offered one lucky Optimistic Beauty reader the chance to bring home their very own Belt of their choice (giveaway is for your choice of current designs, or custom image belts only). To enter head on over to Speciality Collectables and then let me know which of the 249 designs is your favourite.

There are several I would like and of those, I'm going to say the Labyrinth David Bowie and Sarah BELT is my favorite. But I really like the Popples belt, too. (Your Late 20's? I have shoes older than that.)

Oh wow! Talking about bringing back memories! If I have to choose just one(NO NO SAY IT ISN'T SO!!), I would have to pick the Rainbow Brite Bright & Starlite & Twink belt design. Such a wonderful time being a child with "friends" like Rainbow Brite, Poochie, and Strawberry Shortcake.
