Upcoming CSN Review

I'm settling into my new apartment, and the first and most obvious thing... it's tiny. It's super tiny in comparison to my place in Denver. The guy who lived here before me left all of his furniture which has been very helpful, but I'm noticing that the dining room table is just too big. So I've been searching online for dining room tables and am loving every little thing I see.

Now I'll look at the ones that will actually fit in my place!

If you've been reading my other blog by chance, then you've been introduced to Ginger. Stay tuned for a review on a retractable doggie leash with built-in doggie bags. Lord knows Ginger can poop!

Simply Glamorous

As a blogger who hosts giveaways, I also enter many around the blogosphere myself. I was very fortunate to be the winner of a gift certificate to Galit Barak Jewelry on etsy.

The designer, Galit, works all the way around the world in Israel with a focus on crochet technique. Her work is precise, resulting in some of the most stunning pieces I've seen in the jewelry world.

I couldn't decide what I wanted because I wanted it all, so I went with simple glamour. This necklace with an onyx stone.

It's beautiful!

Taking a Break

Hi Everyone!
So glad you've all participated in my contests over the past few months. I am not done, however I will be moving across the country this month and have a lot to do before then.

Stay tuned because I will be back in July with more!

Alexa's Angels Giveaway! CLOSED

So I've been a huge sports fan for most of my life. Born and raised in Boston, it's pretty much automatic that I would become a citizen of Red Sox nation. Now of course I love all of our other teams as well, and I go to as many games as possible.

Having moved to Denver, I haven't dropped my loyalty to Boston. I have instead taken on a new batch of teams to support. And with that support, I must be the fashionista I am and match my outfits to team colors.

Clothing-wise, it's pretty easy to get female-oriented jerseys and tanks. Jewelry has been another endeavor entirely.

I didn't think I'd ever find a perfect piece of jewelry for the Colorado Avalanche, until I was perusing Alexa's Angels and found the Garnet and Gray Pearl Sterling Silver Necklace.

It's not the easiest to appreciate online, but around my neck it's a private-box worthy piece. I tend to wear a plain white zipped hoodie with the avalanche logo to games, so while I could focus on wearing skinny jeans and heels with my outfit, I didn't feel I ever looked like a fashionable fan... until now.

While the focus on Alexa's Angels jewelry is mainly inspirational pieces, you'll find on the website and in the hard copy catalog that there is a good variety in collections.

Beth Lang, the president and CEO of Alexa's Angels, has been creating jewelry since the mid-90s. Her inspirational jewelry line is meant to inspire heartfelt emotion in everyone who wears it. The most recent collection, Emma Rose, was launched this year and it consists of fashion-forward pieces that will work with any personality and any outfit.

In addition to the meaningful and fabulous jewelry, Alexa's Angels supports many organizations that empower women of all ages. And if you have a non-profit organization that could use a grant or product donation, you can apply on their website.

But for now, the focus is on bringing meaning and fashion to your life with Alexa's Angels jewelry... and the company has been kind enough to offer one of you the item of your choice up to $50 or the same Garnet and Gray Pearl Sterling Silver necklace!

Lacokine Giveaway!

if it isn't obvious from most of my blog posts, I kind of have an obsession with jewelry. I never did before, but I keep stumbling upon amazing talent and it continues with this Korine necklace from Lacokine.

I immediately fell in love with its rustic appeal, and the asymmetry is so much fun. It's truly eye-catching and an overall great piece.

I met the designer behind Lacokine, Genevieve, who was kind enough to send me this necklace for the review and giveaway. Yes, my lovely readers, one of you will win this necklace!

Genevieve discovered jewelry-making as a hobby about two years ago. She stumbled upon a blog that talked about making handmade jewelry. As a person who always wanted to create, she was immediately captured and started creating.

While a hobby now, Genevieve hopes to make this a full-time career. Her inspiration comes from places like Etsy and materials such as semi-precious stones of all kinds! She loves working with briolettes and faceted stones. It's lovely and very inspiring.

Genevieve is addicted to vintage things as well! She recently opened another shop on Etsy who's named LacOprint. This shop includes illustrations of vintage style or retro. She loves drawing vintage texture.

I encourage you all to check out both shops, as it will help you gain entries to win this Korine necklace from Lacokine!

To Enter:

Mandatory Entry: visit Lacokine and tell me your favorite piece

Second Optional Entry (only counts after the above entry): Visit LacOprint and tell me your favorite item.

Contest will May 20th, 2010

Contest is open to international entries
