Hey everyone!

I was recently contacted by this new, up-and-coming jewelry company that was recently featured on Oprah to take a look at their products, and I have to say that I love the concept of their products.  Sheyna Jewelry has two options:  1) shop their jewelry collection or 2) design your own jewelry.  They have so many choices of pre-designed jewelry at a great range of prices, making the jewelry pieces very affordable and versatile for any occasion.  Some of their most popular items include:

*Rondelle Earrings:

*Leaf Earrings:

*Fall Silver Earrings:

I tried out the innovative drag-and-drop digital sketchpad in an attempt to design my own jewelry, and I was amazed by how simple and straightforward it was to use!  This is definitely a very accessible feature of their site to anyone, regardless of how technologically savvy you may be.  There are endless possibilities!  The great thing about this feature is that you can get details about each piece that you want to include in your creation, and the site keeps track of the cost.  It's also super easy to remove items if you decide you don't want it any more and to move your parts around as needed.  Don't worry about having to finish your masterpiece in one session - you can save it and come back at any time!  This is what I came up with while I was checking out their site:

Guys:  This is a perfect opportunity for you to get some great jewelry for your significant other!  If you aren't sure about designing your own piece, you can definitely select a beautiful piece from their collection and she will absolutely love it.  Just make sure you have an idea about her taste in jewelry so that you can pick the best piece for her.  If you are more adventurous, then I highly recommend that you try creating your own jewelry.  You never know, it might be great and she will probably love it.  You will not only have given her a beautiful piece of jewelry to wear forever but also shared a part of yourself with her that she will truly appreciate.  She will love knowing that you took the time to create something perfect just for her because you know her and feel passionately about her.

Ladies:  This is an amazing opportunity!  This is a great company if you want to indulge in some luxurious jewelry for yourself.  All of your friends will definitely be dying to find out where you go that jewelry from!  Also, if you have ever wanted to make your own jewelry, but didn't feel like you were crafty enough to pull that off successfully, then this is a perfect chance to make your dream jewelry pieces!  I have been wanting to make some jewelry for myself, but I have never thought that the jewelry would turn out well since I am a complete amateur in jewelry craftsmanship.  Now, I can leave the hands-on part to the professionals and just let them know about the pieces that I have been dying to make for myself!

Even better, they gave me this great promo code for you to use!

10% Promotion Code:  sheyna10

So, get on their site and start exploring.  It's so much fun to see what they have and to come up with your own jewelry creations!  Let your imagination loose!  If you design your own jewelry, I would love to see what you come up with so feel free to contact me and let me know about it :)  If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below!  You can also contact their customer service for further help; I had a great experience with them.

Comfortable, Trendy, and Cute Outfit for School or Class

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I wanted to show you what I wore to class today!  Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

I chose a simple blue off-the-shoulder top because it is so soft and laid-back.  It isn't too dressed up since all you're doing is attending class.  Yet, it's still feminine and cute because it shows skin in a very classy way.  Just showing a little bit of your shoulders is attractive, but in an appropriate way for the school setting.  This top just says fun fashion when you are wearing it!  I paired this top with plain black yoga pants because they are super comfortable and make it easier to get settled in your seat when you have to sit in class for hours.  The black color and the tight fit of these pants make your legs look slimmer and balance off the slightly large top.  This is such a staple piece for any wardrobe!

Earrings:  PacSun
Scarf:  eBay
Necklace:  Gift
Shirt:  American Eagle
Tank Top:  Abercrombie & Fitch
Pants:  Old Navy
Flats:  Charlotte Russe

Of course, this outfit needs the perfect accessories to make it stand out.  The pink-flowered scarf that I paired with this outfit is the main accessory that really makes this outfit pop.  The color works well with the blue top since the white background of the scarf really makes the pink of the flowers add some brightness to this outfit.  I also layered a pink tank top under my top to add an unexpected pop of color that adds to and enhances the effect of the scarf.  I topped this all off with silver rhinestone flower earrings, a purple butterfly pendant, and a gold bracelet.  My black bow flats added to the overall femininity of the outfit and helped to counterbalance the dark-colored clothing.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!  I look forward to putting up more posts!

Tutorial on How to Shape and Tweeze Eyebrows

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I just filmed a tutorial on how to shape and tweeze eyebrows on my Youtube channel today!

I have never done any modifications to my eyebrows before, and I have been feeling like I should groom them.  So I looked up different eyebrow shapes and advice on how to tweeze eyebrows before starting.  If you have never done anything with your eyebrows before either, then I would recommend that you stick with the general shape of your current eyebrows.  If you just fix up the shape of your current eyebrows, then it is easier to prevent an eyebrow disaster!  Since you can't replace the hair once it's gone, you want to make sure that the shape is suitable before you start.

It's easiest to find a good shape by drawing one in with eyeliner or eyeshadow to make the desired shape very visible.  Once you're satisfied with a shape, then start tweezing away the excess hair that fall outside of the outline with slanted or pointed tweezers.  Just be patient and persistent, and you will have beautiful brows before you even know it!  Then, you can start filling in your brows and finishing the look!  Let me know if you want to see how I fill in my brows :)

If you have an questions or requests, feel free to leave them in the comments!

Thanks and I hope you enjoyed this tutorial!  Follow me on my blog through Google Friend Connect and subscribe to my Youtube channel if you want to see more!

Fall Date Night Outfit!

My blog has moved to http://www.tenderallure.com/.  To keep up with my latest posts, outfits, giveaways, and more, check out my new blog!  I would love it if you could joined me at my new blog  :)

Hey everyone!

I had a date with my boyfriend tonight!  So, I wanted to post how I styled my outfit to look cute and fun while still being perfect for the fall weather.  Check out my video of this outfit on Youtube!

Shirt:  Rue 21

Skirt:  H&M

Headband:  eBay

Earrings:  Charlotte Russe

Necklace:  Kohl's

Bangles:  Charlotte Russe

Belt:  eBay

Heels:  Charlotte Russe

I chose a simple white t-shirt for my top because it was a great color to go with my navy skirt .  The shirt is perfect for not showing too much skin and looking laid back, but chic. I love how the skirt is different from my shorter skirts.  It does a good job of keeping my legs warm in the colder weather.  It has a great A-line shape and really emphasizes my waist.  The skirt kind of reminds me of old-fashioned skirts that might have been worn in the past.

This outfit just looks so much better because of how the gray and silver accessories were used!  I curled my hair to make it fun and to add more volume.  The gray satin headband accented by a rhinestone flower was perfect for counterbalancing the volume of my curls.  I added my silver dangling hoop earrings, my silver chain necklace, and my stack of silver bangles to further that theme.  To separate the white of my shirt and the navy of my skirt, I added a silver belt that helped accentuate my waist.  I finished off the outfit with my gray heels to elongate my legs.

It was chilly out tonight, so I had to add a cardigan and a trench coat.  I just love how both of them look with this outfit!

Cardigan:  Heritage 1981

This cardigan is so cozy and comfy, and kept the outfit laid back and fun.

Trench Coat:  Charlotte Russe

Clutch:  Sonia Kashuk (Dripping in Diamonds 8-pc. Cosmetic Brush Set)

The trench coat just gave this outfit a glam factor and made it perfect for the evening.  I love my silver clutch and had to pair it with this outfit!

I hope you enjoy this outfit!  Please let me know what you think and if you have any outfit requests :)

Linda
