Lulu - Beauty in Simplicity - Review and Giveaway US/CAN ends May 31, 2012!

2:10 AM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

Lulu jewelry is simple, soulful, organic jewelry handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest by lacey arnett. Made with sterling, bronze, steel, and semi-precious stones which are handpicked for their natural beauty and luster. Lulu is carried in specialty boutiques from Santa Barbara California to Boulder Colorado and beyond. Here at Lulu, we strive to create unique pieces that inspire each and every woman to remember that there is beauty in strength and individual.

When I came across Lulu Jewelry, the words gorgeous and lavish immediately came to mind! I love unique pieces of jewelry and Lulu Jewelry doesn't disappoint in that department.

This pair of Labradorite Globe Earring is probably my favorite although I do love them all! Faceted chunks of blue/grey labradorite accent simple handformed oxidized sterling silver earwires. They measure approximately 1 1/2". These would look fabulous with a pair of dark rinse jeans, a white blouse or knit top and a pair of kitten or high heels.

This pair of Globe Earrings would look lovely on a warm summer day with your hair pulled back in a loose ponytail as the warm wind gently blows. A beautiful nugget of stunning blue faceted turquoise wrapped up in sterling on organic hand hammered sterling earwires. They roughly measure 1 1/2" including the stone. I love anything turquoise. These earrings can turn that everyday outfit into something spectacular. For me, jewelry adds that extra flair and can really lift my spirits; these beautiful gems would do the trick!

Take a look at this delicate piece, the Surf Necklace. This timeless piece is a beachy blue Amazonite spear wrapped up in gold with three tiny facety gold nuggets and is adjustable from 18-21". It closes securely with a lobster claw clasp. What a beauty. This necklace would look great with a lower cut or even a v-neck top. If you're looking for something elegant and timeless, a piece like this is sure to please.

Take a look at this beautiful Summer Necklace. Just the perfect piece to add some fun to your outfit. Vibrant green chalcedony, juicy Carnelian and Blue Amazonite mix it up for summer. This necklace is adjustable from 18-21". This necklace is a wonderfully playful piece and would most definitely lift my spirits since it put a smile on my face when I first laid eyes on it. The colors flow harmoniously and look great against the silver. This would look smashing with a black or turquoise ruffled top and light colored jeans.

One of the things I love about Lulu Jewelry is their Ray of Hope earrings. Part of the profits from your purchase of these earrings goes toward the World Vision Organization. The World Vision Organization works with children, families, and their communities worldwide to reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty and injustice in the world. I love any business that donates part of their profits towards a good cause; it says a lot about that company! To learn more about the World Vision Organization, check out their website.

Paparazzi Jewelry Review and Awesome Giveaway!

12:01 AM | Posted by Unknown | | Edit Post

In 2008, Misty Kirby acted on a life long desire to buy, design, and sell jewelry and fashion accessories, and what started as a way to earn extra money for a trip to Disneyland became Paparazzi.

Starting just before one of the biggest crashes on Wall Street and the worst recession in the USA since the great depression, Paparazzi not only survived but grew rapidly. In September of 2009 Misty joined forces with her sister, Chani, exhibiting throughout the Western United States at women’s expos, large outdoor fairs, rodeos, boutiques, themed expos, and even house parties. Regardless of the venue or locale, the response is the same ….women love Paparazzi because it gives them the opportunity to purchase trendy accessories at an affordable price.

Paparazzi sells some gorgeous affordable jewelry and hair accessories for only $5!! WHAT?? Yes, FIVE whole dollars! I'm telling you, that price just can't be beat.

I got in touch with Mandi, a Paparazzi Independent Consultant, and she sent me this beautiful necklace and earring set. I can't believe that this set is only $5! It's gorgeous and doesn't look cheap what-so-ever. I was pleasantly surprised and super excited to wear it. I think that a really pretty necklace just helps to complete any outfit! When that necklace is only $5, that makes it just that much more sweet :)

I love long necklaces and this one certainly did not disappoint. It came with a cute little pair of earrings; I'm not so much into small earrings so my daughter gladly accepting them. I love how the necklace ties with a ribbon tie..so cute!

I had heard of Paparazzi but I had no idea that their jewelry was only $5! I will most definitely be purchasing some jewelry from them (Mandi, that is) in the future!

Nelia P.K. Designs Review and Giveaway CONTEST OVER

or this beautiful bracelet...

Black Bracelet, Black Crystal Memory Wire Bracelet with Ivy Leaf Charm, Silver Bangle Bracelet.

Here is a little bit about Nelia's shop (from her Etsy page)

"After 20 years in the fine jewelry business I decided to harness my experience and creativity to design my own custom pieces that I can share. I love spending my days imagining and building my designs with our Italian Mastiff, Alexis, at my feet. All my products are created and handmade by me. I offer pieces that are not mass produced, and some are one of a kind creations. Besides the usual wholesaler, I also love to procure design material from antique stores, flea markets, personal collections, and other venues that offer me a fantastic opportunity to make some truly unique items."

Now, onto my review...
