Color Me Missy $50 Gift Card Giveaway!

Today’s giveaway is from Hy of Color Me Missy, the Singapore-based jewelry shop that features wonderfully handmade and personalized — everything from necklaces to earrings to rings to bracelets to head piece. From the start, Hy wanted to create a shop that fully reflected her love of all things jewelry and handmade.

“I love rose gold. Color Me Missy focuses on rose gold jewelry, ranging from simple initial necklaces to more glamorous rose gold cubic zirconia earrings,” she says. “I wanted to create a jewelry shop that is filled with gorgeous rose gold jewelry. When I shop for my fashion items (bags, shoes, dress, etc), I always think about what jewelry I can make to match with the fashion items I like.”

She’s giving one lucky reader a $50 gift card to pick out some favorite pieces from her shop. Ahhh! What would you choose, friends? The possibilities are endless, but here are a few of my personal faves: Heartbeat necklace ($35), Name bangle (starting at $13.50), Rose gold anchor necklace ($28) and Rose gold feather bracelet ($38). I looove how everything is so simple and delicate, don’t you?
