Vintage Remixed Lucite Necklace Giveaway!

urbanlegend beaded lucite necklace urbanlegend Vintage NecklaceI’m SO excited about the first giveaway in our new home, friends! Today’s giveaway is from Kateri from urbanlegend, the beautiful Etsy shop full of colorful and playful jewelry and accessories. The Portland-based designer founded her shop in 2009, at a time when her love for the bold colors and rich textures of vintage plastic beads was just beginning to take shape — now, her line is a veritable treasure trove of Lucite necklaces, layering necklaces, bracelets and earrings!

“The lightweight nature of plastic makes it possible to make bold, chunky jewelry that doesn’t feel weighty, and has excellent durability, as well as being eye-catchingly beautiful,” Kateri says. “That early shop has grown over the years into a full line of jewelry focused on color and balance, and I truly love what I do.”

She’s giving this vintage remixed Lucite necklace to one lucky reader! Vintage Lucite beads in lipstick red, hot pink, glossy black and seafoam green are strung on narrow chain. Beads range in size from 1/8-1″ — I love the bold colors, don’t you? The red and green beads also remind me of the holidays; how perfect would this necklace be for a holiday party?

Vintage Remixed Lucite Necklace Giveaway!
We’ll be using Gleam this time around for entering. For your chance to win, simply visit urbanlegend, and leave a comment below telling us how you’d style this pretty piece. See above for LOTS of extra chances to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday, November 23rd, so you’ve got a whole week to enter. Have fun, friends! xoxo

Update: Sarah W. is our lucky winner! Thanks so much!

The Posh’mina Scarf Giveaway!

Today’s giveaway is from the lovely ladies of The Posh’mina, a beautiful boutique of fashionable, unique and versatile scarves. Bored by the ubiquitous black sweater and in desperate need of a change, co-workers Amanda and Debbie came up with the perfect solution: Gorgeous oversize scarves in all sorts of styles, patterns and colors — everything from sleeved to slotted to to solids to patterned.
Their awesome twist on the fashion staple? Arm slots!

“We thought that there had to be a stylish solution to stay warm in chilly cubicles and still be hands free and chic,” says Debbie. “We took a pair of scissors to an old pashmina, and the idea was born!”

They’re giving this twill-and-leaf patterned slotted scarf ($40 value) to one lucky reader. The one-size-fits-all scarf is reversible and features beige-themed leaves on one side and lapis-themed leaves on the reverse. Both sides have black and beige twill pattern. How perfect would it be for a spring evening walk or a lazy Sunday stroll? Where would you wear it, friends?

The Posh’mina Scarf Giveaway!

We’ll be using Gleam this time around for entering. For your chance to win, simply visit The Posh’mina, and leave a comment below telling us where you’d wear your lovely scarf. See above for LOTS of extra chances to win. A winner will be chosen at random on Thursday, March 17th, so you’ve got a whole week to enter. Have fun, friends! xoxo
