National Jean Company {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, July 26th, 2010

As long as the tight rolling of the jeans and hair-spraying of the hair a foot high doesn’t come back into style, I’m good!  School shopping for my oldest {he’s on his way to 3rd grade so he’s FINALLY become a bit fashionable} has been somewhat of a recurring nightmare for me.  My “hippie days” and junior high awkwardness have come back to haunt me in the styles that fill the racks at the mall!  I must say, some companies make retro look good, AND SOME DO NOT!  Today’s companies, of course, brings back tie dye and casual 80s-ness with taste…taste my children are devouring!!

Growing up in the late 70s and 80s, and seeing the hoodie my 8 year old picked out as his sample from National Jean Company, I must admit I cringed a bit…until it arrived.  It SCREAMS fashion nice and loud, which surprisingly and to mama’s delight, my oldest is all for!  And it’s the softest hoodie we’ve ever owned {with 3 boys, you know this house is swimming in hoodies}!  The kids collection Butter, from National Jean Company, has an amazing array of causal clothes to finish off the Summer or start the school year for boys and girls!  Be prepared to have the style bring you back though…

Kids Hard Tail collection for those young ladies out there is a mixture of funky tees & tanks and comfy pants!  What every little active girl needs a TON of in her wardrobe!  Scroll through both HardTail and Butter kids collections, find your fav piece under $100…remember it…you’ll need it for the giveaway below!

National Jean Company is the place to get your family’s Fall wardrobe started AND finished!  Are you ready to buy jeans for yourself yet?  I LOVE shopping for jeans while I’m still tan and the beach body is still rockin’ {HA!!  I wish!!}, maybe the pic above will get you in the mood for some fabulous jean and Fall clothing shopping!  Have fun browsing…there’s so many brands sold all under one roof at National Jean Company…they have an amazing SALE section, check it out!

GIVEAWAY!!  Okay, for your kids, pick any item under $100 from the Butter or Hard Tail collections and let us know what it is for your chance to win that item!  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!

Fantasy Jewelry Box {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, July 12th, 2010

It must have been a lucky month for the BabyElan {daily} team…Sarah and I both won some online giveaways recently and neither of us ever really win anything!!  My win was some sassy pieces from Fantasy Jewelry Box, two pairs of earrings that never made it into my jewelry case.  I keep rotating them day after day, LOVE THEM!  I’m not a make-up wearing, jewelry owning, high-heel walking diva…I’m a flip-flop wearing {year round} mother of three who’s lipstick consists of Chap-stick and who {use to} wear only one pair of earrings for a good three years {until some little boy paws got a hold of them and they have never been seen from again}.  BUT, times are a changing and this mama has developed an insane love for jewelry {not makeup yet…I’m sure with age that will come too}…a love for “affordable” jewelry I should say!

As I continue to highly enjoy expanding my jewelry collection, I’ve got Fantasy Jewelry Box bookmarked and on my radar for several pieces to add to my never ending wish list.  The above is a piece I received as a sample from them as well as the fabulous earrings I mentioned before.  GIRLS NIGHT this Friday and the outfit is picked…guess what, the necklace and earring set above matches my cute little dress perfectly!!  {My son’s new “My Mom Is Hot” tee will be so true this Friday!}

Let’s talk quality:  I’ve seen up close and personal 4 pieces from the amazing collections at Fantasy Jewelry Box and every detail is superb, flawless, stunning, and nice and durable, yet still dainty and feminine looking.  Everything you are looking for in jewelry picks, without the high price tag!  As you browse through their site {block off a few hours, there’s a lot to take in but you won’t want to stop peeking page after page}, notice that each piece you look at shows you an array of pics to get the full view before you buy.  My favorite feature is how they show each piece on a woman…you can see what it will actually look like to wear instead of seeing it laying in a case or a flat image of it on the computer screen…see what I mean:

So many ways to shop, if you are looking for a specific color jewelry, shop by color, looking for a piece inspired by a celebrity, shop that way too!  Vintage, birthstone, religious, etc..etc…it’s never ending!  Have I sucked you in yet?  Hope so, you won’t be disappointed and you’ll look HOT!

GIVEAWAY:  I won on another blog, you can win here! Pick any piece {$35 and under} at Fantasy Jewelry Box , simply let us know which piece you would choose…take your time browsing!  Contest ends in one week, good luck to all!

CONGRATS TO OUR WINNER LYNDA!!

Alloy Jewerly {$50 GIFT CERTIFICATE GIVEAWAY}

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I found it!  I’ve been searching all over the Internet, the malls and local boutiques with this specific idea in my head for my Mothers Day necklace.  My husband wanted to surprise me with a gift but our 3 year old gave that thought away ;-)   So with the green light from my husband I began looking for what I knew I specifically wanted, something simple, elegant, charming and personal (to me).    But it couldn’t cost us a fortune either.   I was referred to the site from a dear friend, she must know me very well :-)   And immediately I said, “ahhhhh this is it” and got very excited to have found my Mothers Day necklace, a keepsake, a cherished symbol of my loving family to wear with immense pride.  Here is mine!

Alloy Jewelry most well-known for its custom hand-stamped, personalized sterling silver and copper necklaces. Each piece in the collection is created to order and is different from the next, and is truly a unique gift for any mother, grandmother, bridesmaid, or friend. Leah will cut, hammer, hand-stamp, and oxidize each piece, so the options are endless as far as what can be created for you. You will fall in love with your custom necklace, and will never want to take it off! :-) The jewelry is not just your traditional “mommy jewelry”. In addition to stamping the names of your children, grandchildren, pets, and other relatives,  often Leah makes jewelry with quotes, inspirational phrases or words on them. She has stamped jewelry in loving memory of people who have passed away, made matching charms for circles of friends, and have stamped medic alert bracelets.
The options are endless!

I’m going to let the testimonials reinforce my sentiments. Leah is the owner and mother of two boys. She is amazingly flexible, has insight and vision.  I simply babbled a bit about myself and my family over email and she was able to design a custom made completely personalized necklace for me to wear everyday with enormous amounts of pride and love.  I’m thrilled! But as you’ll see when you read the testimonials or shop the website, Alloy Jewelry can be for anyone of any age!  With Leah working with you to make your item, not just necklaces for women, earrings, bracelets too, 100% just for you as you envision it.  Wonderful!  Graduations gifts, maybe your daughter is going for her first interview for a summer intern, or you son is having his First Communion, Mothers Day is the obvious gift that comes to mind, first time mom or mother of multiples!  The possibilities are truly endless when you are in complete control, Leah can design it for you!  Charm bracelet with precious glass stones wrapped elegantly in silver wire, beautifully feminine.

This is one of the most special, amazingly crafted, unique items I have ever bought. Leah worked with me to make a pendant for my daughter. She made my little dream a reality. It is beautiful and corresponding with her was a pleasure as well. Thank you so much Leah…I can’t wait until she comes back from her trip so I can give it to her”

“Leah- My stepmother was so touched by the necklace you made with all 7 of her grandchildren’s names. She hardly ever takes it off. And the ones you’ve made for me are perfect: simple and elegant. Especially since my first one was the first time both my boys names were together and I got it in the hospital which was amazing. You’re the best!!”

It isn’t too late to buy a Mothers Day gift if that is a task on your list.  Shoot Leah an email and she will dazzle you with her abilities! Realize that the item will not be received on Mothers Day however, but maybe you draw a picture of the peice you have in mind and slip it in her card, saying” being made with love” :-)

Win a Gift Certificate!    Simply comment back here what you love about Alloy Jewelry your chance to win! Contest ends in one week, good luck to all! THE WINNER OF THE GIFT CERTIFICATE IS SABRINA GONZALES
