If you have been a long time reader of this blog, you will know that I have a bit of affinity with statement jewelry- necklaces in particular. Since I recently passed the rather exciting-to-me blog milestone of 1000 GFC followers, I thought it would be a great time to give away this mixed metal + glass pearl piece! I know it’s not much, but this is the first necklace I’ve ever made and I thought there would be no better home for it than one of yours. I appreciate you all so much – thank you for reading along and for giving me the opportunity to share bits of my life with you!

To enter, simply leave a quick comment with some friendly words & how I can reach you (twitter handle, email, etc) if you win!
Open worldwide and runs until one week from now, 4/26 at 11:59PM PST.

Good Luck!

  3. Hi, I think you are the cutest person. I dont blog but follow quite a few.. and I am always cheered by looking at lovely women paying attention to the little things. This neck piece is fantastic and I would love to wear it (being quite a minimalist and conservative have never bought something so interesting and ornate) , [email protected]

  4. hey jen! i love your posts- its nice to see a blog where the person doesnt live in some warm, sunny climate year round (how can i copy those looks mid-wisconsin-winter?). I take part in a contest called the “petite fashion challenge” and this next one is to imitate an inspiration picture. i hope you dont mind that i used one of your pics (i always link back). have a good one!

  6. I looked twice when I read you made this! It’s so lovely, and versatile since it’s mixed metal. Would be a great connecting piece too.

    Well done on this milestone, I’ve been following for a while and always enjoy your posts.

  7. Congratulations on reaching this milestone!

    When I first dived into the world of blogs, your’s quickly became one of my favourites and is the first one I read when I start my daily dose of blog reading.

    Your style is classy and feminine with touches of edginess and so easily translates to the real-life girl with a real-life budget. I find your posts give me inspiration to spruce up my 9-to-5 uniform.

    Congrats again.

  8. Wow – you made that!?!! :) I enjoy your distinctive mix of stylish elegance and edge. Your outfits always strike such a unique balance. I really enjoyed meeting you at the blogger clothing sale – your personality is just as charming as your blog! Thanks for this giveaway.

  22. There aren’t a lot of bloggers that I follow because I can’t really relate to them, but seeing that you’re based in Vancouver (scenery shots! <3) and around my size too, I'm really glad I discovered your blog. Now my friends and I trawl sites like Yesstyle.ca endlessly (though we're supposed to be studying...), and it's all thanks to you that we've discovered a new world :) Can't wait to read more from you!

    (Contact me via email)

  25. I love your blog! you got great style and ever since I discover your blog I have been a fan…

    I also love D’s photography skills.. his “sun glaring” pictures are a staple in your blog pics.. :)

    The post I like the most is the “Puppy Love”. I can totally related what you wrote on your post. Before I got my puppy, i didn’t care much for having pets, but now with my puppy Choochoo I could not love and spoil her more..

    Looking forward to many more amazing blog post from you! and hopefully that necklace too jeje

  27. That necklace really is a statement! I simply love the work you did, the contrasts are superb, I mean the size between the chains, the colors and the simple idea of chains with pearls..so..modern and yet romantic.. cool and feminine, it’s like the world we live in..Hard but sometimes shiny and glamorous! :D Good job;)
