Sitara Handcrafted Jewelry – Enter to Win a $100 Gift Card

Leave a reply

slide_05

When you look for jewelry for yourself or for a gift, do you crave something unique? Something different than the mass-produced items we’re used to seeing in most stores? If so, let me introduce you to Sitara Collections – an online destination for home decor, travel needs, fine jewelry, fantastic gift selections and personal luxuries you won’t find anywhere else.

The company initially focused exclusively on the exceptional work of Indian artisans, whose exotic inspirations and traditional craftsmanship still remain at the heart of Sitara Collections. In recent years, offerings have expanded to include extraordinary examples of South American artistry and a line from one of France’s most exciting jewelry designers.

All of the products are crafted by talented artisans, most of whom are keeping centuries-old techniques and designs alive while creating modern treasures. And because every piece is handmade, your purchase is the very definition of exclusive.

They are proud to offer top-quality materials and equally proud to support fair labor practices—particularly for Indian and South American artists—to ensure that they’re able to devote themselves to their craft while earning a fair wage.

In addition to fine jewelry, Sitara Collections also features extraordinary décor items, elegant Pashmina and other delightful surprises sure to transport you to a whole new world of possibilities. Sitara is about feeling confident, chic and absolutely fabulous. Even our name—the Indian word for “star”—speaks to our mission.

I recently received this Cascading Aqua Rings Necklace from Sitara. Per the web site description, “The depth and unique beauty of falling water is reflected in this gorgeous cascading ring necklace. A triple stand of aqua rings in varying shades creates an elegant, attention-grabbing piece that dresses up blue jeans and adds a hip element to dressier attire.” I agree that the necklace is gorgeous. I also like that it is very lightweight! The necklace came very nicely packaged in both a drawstring jewelry bag and a tied gift box – letting you give it as a very nice gift. (But I kept it for myself!!)

Browse the Sitara Collections online, and let our exceptional creations make you feel like a star every day.

Spring Fashionista Event with Monroe and Main Reader Giveaway

244 Replies

Spring is trying to be sprung – – – but it’s just taking a while! Sooner or later all this cold and snow will go away and we’ll be ready for new fashions for spring! That makes it the perfect time for the SpringFashionista event! We have joined together with 100+ awesome bloggers to introduce you to some amazing fashion brands. Plus, there are rewards for readers with fabulous giveaway prizes. In fact, each blogger is hosting a giveaway with a prize valued at $125 or more, PLUS there are some grand prizes as well.

Last month I introduced you to Monroe and Main and I’m happy to say that they are also our sponsor for this event! Remember this picture of me in my gorgeous Monroe and Main Knot Your Mother’s Dress? Well, now I can get ready to style that one for spring!

I’m already looking forward to wearing the Monroe and Main Knot Your Mother’s Dress in the warmer weather, but I have another dress that I just received and am super exited about!! It’s the Jacquard Dress. It is a beautiful, classic blue and black jacquard pattern in a traditional ice-skater-inspired style. It is fitted on top with just-right stretch, flowing to a figure-friendly skirt. It zips in back with a glittering rhinestone button to close it at the top.

I really love this Jacquard Dress!! It fits very well with curves in just the right places. The fabric is lightweight and comfortable. The detail on the clasp in back is so pretty that it just screams to wear your hair up! (Which I almost never do!) I’m also loving how versatile it is. It would look perfect with a black jacket during the day at the office or for a meeting and then transfers seamlessly for a night out.

It’s also an “all year round” dress that could be worn with black tights in the winter and topped with a sweater (or that jacket again) and “as is” in summer with sandals – calm, cool and collected!

But, I’m not the only one who will be styling new dresses from Monroe and Main this spring. We have a prize for one lucky Jinxy Beauty reader PLUS you have a chance to win a Monroe and Main gift certificate in the Fashionista Grand Prize drawings! (Read more about that below.)

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Beauty reader will win the Monroe and Main Jacquard Dress along with the Triangle Lock Envelope Bag, which was recently featured in Redbook Magazine!! To enter, just complete the entry form below by 11:59pm ET on 3/14/14. Good luck!

Birthstone Nail Polish from Julep

Leave a reply

I think this is such an amazing idea! Julep has created birthstone nail polish! Each month they introduce a new color based on the official birthstone for that month. The first two colors have been extremely popular!! January has already sold out and only a few bottles of the February color remain.

BUT, there is a brand new addition for March and I think it’s gorgeous! Aretha – Aquamarine is next in the line of the gold-capped Birthstone Collection. It’s a beautiful multi-dimensional glitter top coat, perfect for someone special with a March birthday or anyone who just loves the look.

Aretha is a tribute to a musical superstar—the soul queen, jazz diva, gospel godsend that is Aretha Franklin, born March 25.

Available while supplies last!

Did you know that Maven subscribers get 20% plus free shipping every day, making Aretha only $11.20 instead of $14.00. The Julep Maven subscription program gives you exclusive access to the latest trendsetting new nail colors and beauty products that are just right for you each month.
