Texas Take Review and Giveaway

5:00 AM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Texas Take is an Etsy shop that sells gorgeous 'chunky' jewelry. Amber, the owner, is a freelance writer and magazine editor who enjoys making jewelry in her spare time. She also has a killer thing for turquoise and chunky necklaces, which is no longer a secret with the launch of her Etsy shop!

PASTEL RODEO: Chunky turquoise and pastel pearl & crystal necklace with extra large, magnetic turquoise cross pendant

Turquoise and chunky go so beautifully together, don't they?! I Just love this Pastel Rodeo Chunky necklace. I just can't express enough how much I love anything turquoise. The necklace you see, to the left, has lots of turquoise and bling. Adding bling just makes the necklace that much more gorgeous.

RIDE 'EM COWGIRL: Rodeo cowgirl magnetic cross pendant on leather cord necklace

If you're into the rodeo, as most of us Texans are, then you are going to LOVE the Ride 'Em Cowgirl necklace. I love the combination of the black and silver together. I just love the design on the cross and of course I love the added bling!

Now onto my review....

TURQUOISE RODEO: Cowgirl necklace with turquoise stones, worn short OR long

Amber sent me this gorgeous Turquoise Rodeo Cowgirl Necklace. I just love everything about it. It's simple yet chunky...just how I love 'em. As I've stated before, I love turquoise and I tend to wear a lot of black so something a simple as turquoise can play up a plain black sweater or shirt.

This is how my necklace arrived, minus the mailing package of course. I don't know, it just looks so cute! I just love the smallest things.

This is how it looks next to my plain black sweater. The picture just doesn't do this necklace justice. Trust me, it's looks so beautiful!

I love everything on her website. It would be so hard for me to just choose one thing!

ROCKIN' BEADS: Beaded stretch bracelet with dragonball crystal

A HUGE thank you to Amber and Texas Take for allowing me to review this necklace. You can visit her facebook page here and her blog here. Amber wants to give ONE lucky reader the chance to win these Rockin' Beads beaded bracelets, one of each color. You will get one black, one brown, and one turquoise. They are so pretty, I just may have to buy them for myself. This contest is international and will end on November 24, 2011. Good luck to all!

Disclaimer: I was not paid monetarily for this review. I was given the mentioned item to review and all opinions are my own.
