All dressed up for a country-themed birthday party...this little love bug was picture perfect from head to toe!

2009-10-07T23:26:00.000-07:00

Surf's Up!

2009-09-15T00:14:00.001-07:00

The Story Behind the "Surf's Up" Korker.

One great friend in Chicago.

One vacation to sunny Southern California.

One beach photo shoot planned with one amazing photographer.

One cute little love bug with a navy blue dress and no bows.

Hence, the "Surf's Up" Korker was born.

Nothing too snazzy. Just some good ol' navy blue and white curly korker ribbon. The perfect accessory for dressing up school uniforms, jeans, tees, and cute little dresses, of course!

Don't you think the bows make the outfit?

Price: $6 each

Let's Go Dodgers!

2009-06-23T16:30:00.001-07:00

This little love bug has to be the cutest Dodger Blue fan I've ever seen! She (with the help of her mommy) surprised daddy with pictures of her dressed up in her Dodger gear & custom made Love Bug Kids korker bows for Father's Day! He was super pleased...of course!

2009-06-14T17:11:00.000-07:00

I have filled lots of custom order requests for USC bows. I have bitty baby clip styles, korkers and ribbon bows. Root for the Trojans? If so, then these are the clips for you! You can purchase all of these on my website and they also can be found at The Red Sail children's boutique in Balboa Island.

Let's Go Irish!

2009-06-14T17:07:00.000-07:00

We root for Notre Dame in our household, so the very first korkers I ever made were in Notre Dame colors, of course! My daughter wears these every time she gets dressed up in her ND cheerleader uniform.

Larger Korkers on Alligator Prong Clips: $9 each

Go Chargers!

2009-06-14T16:59:00.000-07:00

Custom Dress + Custom Bow = Picture Perfect!

2009-06-14T16:38:00.000-07:00

A custom dress deserves a custom bow, right?

My friend Kathy owns her own business and is super talented with the sewing machine. She made this adorable custom dress for her daughter to wear on Easter and asked me to make a bow to match. She gave me a swatch of fabric and this is what I came up with. It's one-of-a-kind and went perfectly with the dress!

How cute is that fabric? I love it!

Check out this little cutie modeling her new outfit.

Need a bow or headband to match a holiday, wedding or special occasion dress? Let Love Bug Kids make you the perfect accessory to match! Our turn-around is super fast and our customer service can't be beat!

Softball Korkers, Oh My!

2009-06-10T23:37:00.000-07:00

When the Lil' Bronco's softball team in Northern California needed coordinating korkers to match their uniforms, I was delighted to help! For this project, I made 14 matching korker bows in red, black and white and attached them to elastic ponytail holders. Look how cute the girls look in their bows!

We can make korkers to match any team colors. Contact me today for your softball or soccer team needs. Orders take approximately 1-2 weeks to complete, so be sure to place your order early. Large Korkers: $9 each
