New Year's + A Giveaway!



Comfy New Year's Eve



This week's Friday's Fancies is about New Year's. I am not a huge fan of going out on New Year's. I feel like everything always costs way too much money and is also always a let down. This year I think I am going to stay home and relax with my husband... maybe go out for a casual dinner. So I am going to be wearing something comfy... jeans, a sweater, and some fun jewelry.



Speaking of jewelry, I have a very exciting giveaway for you! Michelle Chang, a New York artist, is offering one lucky reader this Baby Skull Necklace from her Etsy shop. I have been a long time fan of her work and design philosophy. To her, "jewelry making is drawing, design, sculpture, and craft. All embodied in a tiny object that can be worn and which I hope will provide meaning and value to the wearer."

In order to enter the giveaway, please:

1. Be a follower of the blog
2. Visit her Etsy shop and leave a comment with your favorite item and your email address.

Extra Entry:

1. Post about this giveaway on your blog. Please leave a separate comment letting me know you did so.

This is open to International readers as well. I will choose a winner next Thursday. Good luck and Happy New Year!!!!

Wow, love this necklace! It's subtle enough to wear to the office, but still quirky enough to be fun. I love all her other stuff... the pyramid studs would be great for everyday wear!

There is something about skulls that don't excite that much, BUT i have to say that the little skull from Michelle Chang really is a great piece i'd to wear. Plus, i think it's so versatile. I can picture it wearing it on almost any occasion. So thumbs up for this designer!

I'm amused by this necklace! It's just a simple skull but it gives a big impact. Fun and rockin' out! Who can't want this? Michelle's so talented and I love Mini Mismatched Snake Stud Earrings in Sterling Silver the most!

BTW, Happy New Year Brianne! :)

I have been coveting this necklace (in gold) for about the last three years. I love all of her stuff, especially the hedgehog ring, but the skull necklaces remain my favorite.
