By the Belt Giveaway! CLOSED



I have a hard time finding belts. I'm a pretty small person with an hour glass figure. I got these nice child-bearing hips, but most of my clothes tend to hang on them that I often wish I had a great belt.

The problem I have with most belts, however, is that I need a notch or two past the last notch. Good luck finding that in the adult womens' section of a store.

And what makes this problem worse for me is the fact that I want fashionable belts. They are great accessories to change the mood, feel, fit of any outfit.

Then I found By the Belt. Vered, the designer, custom-made a gorgeous lace belt for me that fits perfectly and makes any outfit romantic.

Vered has actually been creating beaded jewelry for 7 years and that has been her main focus. (Check out her jewelry here: Veroque.Etsy.com).Then it happened that about a year ago, she needed a belt for a special family event. Unable to find exactly what she was looking for anywhere, she decided to bead one herself instead.

She made it from about 4000 tiny beads, each sewn by hand using a needle and thread. The result was a very chic and pretty belt... and this is how she came to the idea to pursue belt-making more formally. She wanted to make them simple, stylish, from interesting materials, etc AND affordable. And that is how her shop By the Belt was born.

Vered is very accomadating (across the world in Israel!) and prompt with her work. While international shipping takes 10-21 days, I didn't wait too long before I received my beauty.

And now Vered would like to give one of you a free skinny belt in the color of your choice. It's a gorgeous, hand-made, fashionable belt that will surely be a staple in your collection!

To Enter:

Visit By the Belt and comment with your favorite belt. Be sure to leave your email in the post.

If you can't wait to win, Vered is offering 15% off to all of my readers and FREE SHIPPING! Simply message her that you found her shop through Roxy Shops Blog.

Contest will end March 10, 2010.

Contest is open to international entries

BE SURE TO ENTER MY OTHER GIVEAWAYS LISTED IN THE TOP RIGHT!


DISCLAIMER:
Winner will have 48 hours to confirm win by the email I send to him/her. By entering this contest you agree to not hold me nor the sponsor responsible if I don't get your confirmation email or if the prize does not arrive.

Vered did NOT pay me to do this review. I often approach artists and designers for reviews and giveaways when I find their products online. I ask their permission to review their products. If someone asks me to review his/her product, I will always let you know. Once winner has confirmed, I either send winner's info to the sponsor or if prize is in my possession, I mail it. I am not responsible for delivery of prize thereafter.

Hi.. my name is bintan and my email account is bintan.sholihat@gmail.com

I like 'Red Skinny Belt With Brass Buckle' because I think it could be use for any moment from casual moment to glamorous one..

To make it casual, sip it in your high-waist jeans with simple T-shirt and hot wedges shoes..

To make it glamorous, tie it to your little black dress and put a red clutch and stiletto..

have a nice day. =)
