Fantasy Jewelry Box “Pick Your Prize” Giveaway! CLOSED

August 18th, 2010 by Laney

It’s that time again… We’ve paired with my go-to, high-trend/low-price, favorite online jewelry resource. You know I’m talking about Fantasy Jewelry Box, ladies! In addition to super hot jewelry, the site also features a constant slew of coupon codes, gifts with purchase, and fun new promotions.

One of these new features that I’m particularly in love with is their Fantasy Rewards program. Every purchase you make from now on at Fantasy Jewelry Box will translate into points, and those points will turn into gift cards redeemable at Fantasy Jewelry Box! Create an account now and earn points while stocking on-trend fall jewelry, then use those rewards towards unforgettable holiday gifts or eye catching holiday bling.

The set above is one of my favorites for fall. I love the warm tones, the bib style, and of course – the price! It’s Kenzie’s Brown & Topaz Necklace and Earring set, and it retails for under $50 ($46.95 currently).

Jina’s Crystal Studded Cuff Bracelet ($48.95) is another item I’ve got my eye on. A sparkly cuff is a perfect way to add some flair to a simple work outfit, and it’s a piece that you can easily transition into a night look (add something new to your LBD!).

You can really see where I am for Fall… Saundra’s Metallic Topaz Earrings ($49.95) fit right in. Warm tones, golds, gemstones, richness… I’m definitely enjoying the last bits of Summer, but not entirely dreading the season ahead.

Now, it’s your turn to browse the drool-worthy merch at Fantasy Jewelry Box! They’ve generously offered to sponsor another giveaway. Also, please note that I received a review piece in exchange for hosting this giveaway.

WIN IT: Fantasy Jewelry Box is offering one Fashionable Gal reader her choice of any item from the site priced at $35 or less. That includes TONS of options in every jewelry category, so choosing will be quite the adventure! This giveaway ends August 27, 2010 at 11:59 PM EST.

1928 Sex & the City Jewelry Giveaway

July 14th, 2010 by Laney

187 Comments

Sex & the City 2 may no longer be in theaters, but the characters are forever in our hearts! In honor of the saga (fingers crossed that it continues!), 1928 and The Fashionable Gal have teamed up to bring you a Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte themed giveaway!

ABOUT THE BRAND:

The words timeless & vintage immediately spring to mind when you hear the name 1928 Jewelry. For over 40 years, the 1928 Jewelry Company has drawn on a wealth of designs discovered in many unique, unexpected places. From the vaults of rich European capitals to the antique laden attics of old American estates, we’ve created modern replicas of the most beautiful, exquisite vintage jewelry ever made. The 1928 Jewelry Company was founded by Melvyn Bernie in 1968. Currently, the company has four lines under its signature brand name. The 1928 Brand has sought to provide exceptional value to the fashion savvy consumer who is dedicated to building her vintage jewelry collection with unique accessories. The jewelry in the 1928 collections are designed to respect the details of period pieces while offering fresh design interpretations to fit today’s styles and fashions.

I adore vintage-y jewelry, and was thrilled to discover 1928. They have such a wonderful selection of gorgeous, eye catching jewelry! It took me forever to pore over the entire selection on their site and pick out a piece for review, but I finally selected the Azure Iridescent Button Earrings. They are even sweeter in person, and I’m so happy with my choice! The earrings are well made and arrived quickly, both of which were added bonuses. They’re great with summer dresses and have scored me multiple compliments.

One of you lucky ladies is going to have your own fabulous 1928 experience very soon – the Papaya Pink & Copper Flower Cuff Bracelet ($38 Value), a Carrie inspired piece, is up for grabs!

SOHO Hearts Jewelry Giveaway (ARV $59.95)

July 13th, 2010 by Laney

93 Comments

Back in October of last year, SOHO Hearts was a generous sponsor of our fundraiser, Fashionable Gals for a Cure. Now, they’re offering a great giveaway for one lucky reader!

Soho Hearts was created by Juliette Booker, a native of Amsterdam. With her eye for style and glamour, she created a beautiful line of jewelry that is now available worldwide. “The collection conveys not only Juliette’s gifted eye for bold and subtle statements through the artistry of fine craftsmanship. It also serves as a very personal example of the heart and soul that nourishes her passion.”

I like the wide range of styles available from Soho Hearts. The line includes everything from skulls to flowers, delicate charms to huge statement pieces. There’s such a variety that it’s likely just about every fashionista will find an accessory that works for them. Soho Hearts also sells headbands, scarves, key chains, and other accessories that will help add style and flair to other areas of your life.

The piece I received for review is the Crystal Bow Necklace in Marine Blue (also available in a gorgeous Purple). Even though I fell in love with it online, the necklace is even more stunning in person. The beautiful beads, which are in a range of colors and sizes, catch the light and everyone’s eye. The fabric covered beads are equally stunning, and the thick ribbon is a beautiful touch. While this piece is a little heavy for Summer, it pairs well with flirty summer dresses for a night out on the town. Mainly, I’m looking forward to wearing it this fall or for fancy dinners and cocktail parties.

I love the quality of this piece, and the affordability of many Soho Hearts pieces. There are many more on my wish list, and I hope to check out their NYC boutique when I visit later this Summer!

CONTEST INFO: One lucky lady will win the Crystal Bow Necklace pictured above, in their choice of Marine Blue or Purple. The contest will run from now until July 20th, 2010, 11:59 PM EST. You MUST complete the Mandatory Entry for any extras to be counted; please leave a separate comment for each extra entry.

MANDATORY ENTRY: Subscribe to Soho Heart’s e-newsletter (bottom right corner).

Victoria Beckham in Anita Ko

June 13th, 2010 by Laney

1 Comment

London, England – On June 8th, Victoria Beckham left the Metropolitan Hotel wearing an Anita Ko rose gold and diamond spike bracelet. For purchase information please visit Anita Ko.

Mrs. Beckham looks amazing, as always. Two notable points – her wrist really looks like a second elbow. Also, the guy in the plaid looks like he’s peeing his pants. Then again, if Victoria Beckham walked by, I might do a little self-soiling too…

Fantasy Jewelry Box “Pick Your Prize” Giveaway! CLOSED

May 31st, 2010 by Laney

99 Comments

Fantasy Jewelry Box has generously offered to sponsor another giveaway here on The Fashionable Gal! The last giveaway was quite popular, and I know getting to select your own prize is a thrill – so if this giveaway is a big success, I’ll be hosting one every other month. Which means you should make sure to not only enter yourself, but send your friends this way too!

Fantasy Jewelry Box is my go to place for celeb jewelry matches and hot new pieces that correspond with the current trends. The company was generous enough to let me snag a piece for review and I selected Jessie’s Black CZ & Enamel Rock Star Ring (pictured above, on sale for $31.95). I’ve been wearing a lot of cotton summer dresses, which are gentle and sweet. Sometimes that’s what I’m going for, but often I like to toughen up or change the look with the use of accessories. The Rock Star Ring is one of my favorite go-to pieces. It also works for night looks and adds pizazz to a simple jeans and tee combo.

Another favorite way to add flair to simple summer looks – since accessories are much cooler than extra layers – are funky necklaces. An inexpensive cotton dress from Old Navy becomes a sizzling evening look with just a few tweaks. Cassidie’s Blue Crystal Teardrop Necklace & Earrings ($43.95 for the set) are perfect for a night at a steamy club or a tropical vacation.

Kalita’s Gold Wire Wrapped Flower Earrings ($21.95) are another top pick for the summer. They’re perfect for the whole day – wear them from lunch to the beach to a night out without worry. I’d also suggest them as a great gift for any of your gal pals with summer birthdays! They look handmade and expensive but retail for just over twenty bucks – what a steal!

What do you think of Lea Michele’s fashion looks? I’m not crazy about the lipstick and top in the last photo, but think she looks sweet and natural in the first photo.

This necklace retails for $1,195 and is available for purchase online at Ippolita. While Blair’s necklace is a gorgeous Amethyst, the necklace is also available in Topaz, Mother of Pearl, and Quartz.
