GIVEAWAY: love charm. @ 12:11 PM
falling back to my usual kinda outfit: dark hues and a pop of color somewhere, haha. this was basically my christmas outfit, except i wore a faux leather skirt instead of these legging jeans - casual but comfy. the weekend was filled with so much laughter, joy and happiness. i got to indulge in delicious home-cooked meals and delectable desserts. it's not hard for me to gain about 10lbs during the holidays... so you can guess my new year's resolution. heh.
christmas may be over but the giving doesn't stop. it seems fitting for the occasion, since the holiday is upon us... i'm hosting this little giveaway with Alex and Ani. their mission is to design products that adorn the body, enlighten the mind, and empower the spirit. alex and ani's collections reflect a design aesthetic that celebrates each wearer's unique essence. owner and designer Carolyn Rafaelian believes it is her life's work to inspire her customers to relish what is unique and authentic about themselves. alex and ani's artistry lies in drawing out the beauty that resides within.
now, you have the chance to win the same set of bangles (that i'm wearing) which includes 2 special, limited edition vintage beaded bangles and 1 "love" charm bangle in russian gold color. i love that it's made with a sliding mechanism, allowing everyone to have a piece of jewelry customized to a perfect fit. the "love" charm is really classic and timeless - perfect for anyone.
