Giveaway: Win this Vintage Onyx Cocktail Ring from Laura James Jewelry!

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Laura James Vintage Onyx Cocktail Ring $82

Laura James Vintage Spear Crystal Necklace $220

Laura James Vintage Tiger's Eye + Pink Stone Earrings $98

I first fell in love with Laura James Jewelry and its chic simplicity when I saw her Oval Tag Vintage Necklace on the Max and Chloe website. You can imagine how thrilled I was when she graciously contacted me with thanks for accolades made in a mention on L.A. Stylist Mom, and little did she know that It. Was. On. I was happier still to discover her website, dedicated solely to showcasing both her modern and vintage styles, appropriately entitled Laura James Jewelry (go figure). Her benevolence further manifested itself when she not only agreed to offer a generous 20% discount to LASM readers, but to give away the gorgeous Vintage Onyx Cocktail Ring pictured above. (WOOT!)

While perusing her website, I’ve found that not only is the clean elegance that first drew me to her pieces firmly in tact, but that a modern-vintage, ‘Valley of the Dolls-esque’ feel has since emerged, through use of stones like Tiger’s Eye, Moonstone and Amber (retro-60′s love anyone?) With both ‘Vintage’ and ‘Contemporary’ categories to choose from, James further employs techniques like stamping and carving to achieve a uniquely glamorous feel that I’m clearly digging – you can be too!

From now through Thursday, August 12th, take 20% off at Laura James Jewelry (excluding the Personalized Collection) when you enter discount code LASM20 at checkout! To enter to win the Vintage Onyx Cocktail Ring, just become an L.A. Stylist Mom subscriber using either Bloglovin’ or Feedburner, both conveniently located in the sidebar under ‘LASM Daily,’ leaving a comment on this post letting us know you’ve done so.

Earn up to four additional entries by 1) Tweeting about the giveaway using the handy dandy ReTweet button 2) Blogging about the giveaway with a link back to this post 3) Becoming an @LAStylistMom Twitter follower or 4) Becoming an @LauraJamesJewel Twitter follower.

Street Boners Giveaway: You Know You Want One

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

You don’t even know. When I got the pitch to do a book giveaway, my choices were this or two other how-to-dress-for-your-body-type-out-of-your-closet-forever-something-or-other-dryly-written selections. It was a no-brainer. STREET. BONERS. Are you looking at the cover? Do you see it…?! While waiting impatiently for my advance copy, I checked the mailbox more than the time I was twelve and holding out for a reply to my Scott Baio love letter. (Good thing that didn’t pan out. Ew.) When it finally arrived? I was not disappointed.

*Before I continue, allow me to come clean; something you might not know about me (amongst a ton of other things) is that, well…I…er…kind of have the sense of humor of a twelve year old boy. If you turn your nose up at that and/or eschew penis humor, use of the word motherf*cker, political incorrect-ness or didn’t almost wet your pants during ‘Dick-In-A-Box?’ Heads up, because this just might not be your book.

Although Street Boners arrived promptly at dinner time when my kids are most whacked out and the dog needs to pee, I of course ripped right into it. Not only are the pictures themselves high-larious/outrageous/beautiful/ridiculous and on occasion disgusting, they’re also ranked by ‘kitten heads (10 kitties being a ‘day-ruiner’ while 0 are mere ‘shoe-eaters’) not to mention the unparalleled photo commentaries. In addition to his hardcore outfit assessments, Gavin McInnes also includes chapters such as “What Is A Hipster?” and the desperately needed and often dead-on section called ‘The Rules: What To DO And What To DON’T Do,’ with sub-categories like ‘Black Socks’ (appropriately divided by gender) and ‘Not-After-30,‘ a must-read for anyone, male or female, who is, well…after thirty. “In short, if you hate eye candy and laughing your ass off, this book is not for you.”

There’s pretty much nothing I can say that will do it justice without reading it for yourself and…oh look! A giveaway! I am, in fact, giving away a copy of Street Boners to three – count ‘em – three lucky readers. For this one, you just need to subscribe to L.A. Stylist Mom (via Feedburner or Bloglovin’ both conveniently located in the sidebar) then leave a comment on this post letting us know that you did. As always, you can earn up to three extra entries by 1) Tweeting this post using the retweet button 2) Linking back to this post via Facebook or on your blog, or 3) Becoming an L.A. Stylist Mom Facebook Fan, if you haven’t already. If you do any of these things, please let me know in the comments section so that I can be sure to count your extra entries! You have no idea just how badly you want it.

(For those of you unfamiliar with Gavin McInnes, you can check him out at his website, Street Carnage.)

*All comments must be posted by the end of the giveaway on Tuesday, May 11th, at 11:59 EST. The winners will be chosen by random.org, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A.

Giveaway From Rice and Beans Vintage!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Gucci Black Leather Large 'Britt' Handbag

Vintage 1970's Mexican Green Suede Cape

Yves Saint Laurent Leather and Wood Sky High Platform Wedge Sandals

There are few things I adore more than spectacular designer vintage and Rice and Beans Vintage is paramount in this category; I guess one could even call it the shizznit of vintage sites (one being me of course), but it really and truly is. Owner Sarah Korsiak Cellier has an eye that’s dead-on, and her stunning pieces are reflective of her incredible and discerning taste. In a climate where the word vintage is thrown around to describe everything from Courreges to Urban Outfitters circa 1998, Sarah is a true vintage aficionado. (She’s also cool, down to earth and funny as hell.)

With pieces both designer and otherwise, Rice and Beans is not only chock full of gorgeousness, but it’s more reasonably priced than other on line vintage shops. There’s also a section of modern designers as well, including both shoes and handbags, creating the potential to scoop up more recent pieces you might have missed the first time around. I love that Cellier has chosen to include a jewelry section, often my favorite vintage finds and a category commonly overlooked on other comparable sites. Best of all, everything is beautifully showcased with large, clear photos, on an easily navigable and comprehensive site.

Start perusing and choose what you love now, because Rice and Beans has teamed up with LASM to give away a $75 gift card! I’ve featured my personal favorites above, so now it’s your turn to visit Rice and Beans Vintage, choose the item that you dig, and let us know what it is in the comments section of this post. You can also earn up to three additional entries by 1) Tweeting this post (using the retweet button) 2) Subscribing to LASM with Bloglovin’ or Feedburner (conveniently located in the sidebar) or 3) Blogging about this contest with a link back to this post. If you do any of these things, please let me know in your comment so I can be sure to count your extra entries! Thanks for playing and good luck from Rice and Beans Vintage and L.A. Stylist Mom!

*All comments must be posted by the end of the giveaway on Thursday, April 29th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen by random.org, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom shortly thereafter. One entry per person, with a maximum of three additional entries. If a winner fails to respond within three days of notification, a new winner will be selected.

Jillybean Green makes my heart beat fast. It’s like all the kid stuff I scour the web for, loaded into one happy little spot. And it’s fun to say (you know you just said it). Created by an L.A. mom who adores both her kids and the environment, Jillybean offers alternatives to adopting a greener lifestyle, without having to compromise the ‘hip’ factor. Every manufacturer they work with creates products that are either organic, made with sustainable or recyclable  materials, employ fair trade practices, or are recyclable, reusable and or/non-toxic. They also support local artisans, designers and good old USA manufacturing – woo hoo!

What I love best about Jillybean Green (besides saying it, okay I’ll stop) is the stuff; babies, kids, gear, bath time…moms, JBG has it all! In addition to my picks above, one of my most fave parts of their site are the 100+ items in the Under $25 Finds section, perfect for gift giving and otherwise. (P.S. How cute is that ‘Heart On Your Back’ tee?!) If you happen to be in Los Angeles, Jillybean now has a store located inside the birthday party locale of choice (*drum roll*) The COOP, located at 11118 Ventura Blvd, in Studio City. But  you don’t have to hop a plane to reap the benefits of Jillybean, since they have been generous enough to team up with LASM to offer one lucky ready a $50 gift certificate! As always, entering is easy when you follow these simple steps:

Giveaway! Laura Gibson Blue Quartz Earrings

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Sterling Silver, Blue Quartz, Amethyst, Apatite, Peridot and Pearl Earrings $39.95

Sterling Silver, Blue Quartz, Amethyst, Apatite, Peridot and Pearl Earrings $39.95 (1.5")

Although in ‘the real world’ it seems a bit early to start thinking about Spring, it’s already old news in the fashion realm. Exciting news however, since it includes loads of floral prints, pale pinks, ruffles and generally all things girly (*batting eyelashes coyly*) – a timely backdrop for these delicate and sparkly Laura Gibson earrings.

Crazy, coming from an artist who began her career as a sales and marketing specialist for IBM. Luckily for us Laura did a one-eighty, and bravely decided to pursue her dream of becoming a jewelry designer – props to that Laura! She’s been featured in Harper’s Bazaar UK and InStyle Weddings amongst others, and continues to create her timeless designs from her studio in Tucson. She focuses on a number of collections including Bridal and Breast Cancer Awareness (love), in both white and yellow gold, in addition to her newest pieces in sterling silver. Laura uses what seems like a skillion different stones, too numerous to name, making her collections diverse with something for everyone. I like her stuff because it reminds me of the ‘upscale’ Anthropologie…

Now is your chance to own a pair of LG earrings of your very own! (And if you do, I’ll share with you the outfit I’ve already put together in my head based on their pastel-y gorgeousness!) To enter, visit the sterling silver collection at lauragibson.com, choose the piece you like best, and then leave a comment on this post letting us know what it is and why it’s your fave. That’s it! Extra entries will be given to those who Tweet (Enter to win these gorgeous earrings from @lastylistmom and Laura Gibson! http://bit.ly/64agwT #giveaways) or blog about the contest with a link back to this post, but be sure to let us know with a comment here. Good luck!

*All comments must be posted by the end of the giveaway on Tuesday, January 26th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen by random.org, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom shortly thereafter. One entry per person, with a maximum of three additional entries for Twitter and/or Facebook links to this contest. If winner fails to respond within three days of notification, a new winner will be selected. Open to U.S. and Canada residents ages 18 years or older.

The 2 Bandits Giveaway: Your Boots Are STOKED.

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

The 2 Bandits Gold & Black Leather 'Riders' $70 (Per Pair)

The 2 Bandits Gold & Black Leather 'Riders' $70 (Per Pair)

Your boots called – they’re bored. They have never been a hotter commodity, yet you continually pile all the jewelry and accessories onto yourself and…ignore them. It’s redemption time for you and your tired boots, because Riders from The 2 Bandits are in the hizzay, and they are amazing! Allow me to clarify: /RYE-derz/ n. Boot harness with brass chains and fine black latigo leather. Adjustable. Sold as a pair. $70. (Boots not included.) You with me? Good, because there’s more.

Founders Erica Chan and Tamar Wider started out making these excellent Bandits to embellish the tops of the boot shaft (I like the studded Edie version, in brown), and eventually branched out to Riders for Fall 2009. How much do I love them? A ton. When The 2 Bandits generously agreed to team up with LASM for a giveaway, how badly did I want to ditch you guys and keep them? Very badly – but I dig you, so here’s your chance to win a pair of black and gold Riders worth seventy bucks, and make your blah boots brilliant! To enter, leave a comment on this post with a brief description of your lame-ass boots that are in desperate need of Riders embellishment. Whoever has the neediest boots? Wins! (P.S. For those of you who can’t wait to see if they’ve won? The 2 Bandits has FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING!)

All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway on Wednesday November 25th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom shortly thereafter. Open to U.S. residents only.

Giveaway! I Heart Polarn O. Pyret…

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Funky Music Top (Child) in Greymelange $26

Funky Music Top (Child) in 'Greymelange' $26

Folklore Maternity Tunic $59.50

Folklore Maternity Tunic $59.50

All Over Stripe Eco Leggings (Child) in 'Colonial Blue' $30

All Over Stripe Eco Leggings (Child) in 'Colonial Blue' $30

Wind Fleece Bunting in 'Poppy' $72.50

Wind Fleece Bunting in 'Poppy' $72.50

…for about sixty different reasons! Paramount amongst them, is that fact that not only are their clothes simple, modern, and comfy, 30% of every collection is designed around a UNI(sex) concept. Having not found out the sex of my children during either pregnancy (and having fielded the ridiculous and unending  question, ‘But how will you know how to decorate the nursery?!’ ), by the time of their arrival I was lousy with yellow, green, and white ensembles. Polarn’s newborn ECO collection is not only almost entirely designed with UNI in mind, it’s also made from 100% organic cotton and produced in a green manufacturing process.

Where have they been all your life? Unbeknownst to me, PO.P began in Stockholm in 1976, and has grown to over 100 stores across Sweden and Europe. It’s now available in the United States at polarnopyretusa.com, with retail locations to follow. Had I known about them prior to my first pregnancy, you better believe I would have scooped up their clean and classic signature stripe for not only my babies, but also for myself – that’s right – there’s maternity and nursing wear!

If you’re not already chomping at the bit? PO.P and L.A. Stylist Mom have teamed up to create a FREE SHIPPING code valid through midnight PST on Friday, November 13th; simply enter LAPOP at checkout. We’re also giving away a Wind Fleece Bunting for baby worth $72.50, in the size and color of your choice!* All you have to do to enter is visit polarnopyretusa.com, and leave a comment here letting us know which PO.P item is your fave – that’s it! Good luck, and happy shopping from LASM and PO.P…

All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway on Wednesday, November 18th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail on Thursday, November 19th, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom Friday, November 20th. Open to U.S. residents only.

*Size and color choice contingent upon availability.

Giveaway: ‘Black Tie’ Flutter By Leggings (Because sequins aren’t just for big girls!)

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

picture-23

Although I exist in a world rife with dudes (and therefore the requisite dude duds), it doesn’t keep me from occasionally longing to dream up a tiny outfit that includes a dress or two; enter these shimmering ‘Black Tie’ leggings from Angela Frost’s ‘Flutter By’ collection, and boy (girl?) do I ever heart them!

The fall fashion season is lousy with sequins, and apparently not just for grown-ups. These leggings are cool and edgy, yet at the same time mange to remain sweet, unlike some other ‘big girl-turned-little girl’ fashion I’ve seen. I’m also loving the ‘Zippity Doo Da’ version, which come in five delicious colors with names like ‘Tang’ (a juicy orange), and a yummy shade of green called ‘Sour Apple,’ complete with trompe l’oeil ‘lace.’ An added plus? Everything in Angela Frost’s collection is locally made – sewn, dyed, and printed in a single factory located in sunny Southern California.

Even though it’s most likely chilly where you are, now is your chance to win a little slice of SoCal. We’re giving away a pair of ‘Black Tie’ leggings to one lucky little girl (a $45 value), just in time for the holidays! All you have to do to enter, is sign up to become a fan of L.A. Stylist Mom on Facebook, leaving a comment on this post letting us know that you did. The winner will be announced here, on Thursday, October 29th. Good luck!

*All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway, on Wednesday October 28th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, and notified via e mail on Thursday October 29th. Open to U.S. residents only.

Fall Giveaway From Felix Rey!

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Suede Ruffle Tote Bag in 'Asphault' $598

Suede Ruffle Tote Bag in 'Asphalt' $598

Santos Snake Clutch in 'Hunter Green' $320

Santos Snake Clutch in 'Hunter Green' $320

Mesi Clutch in Black $170

Mesi Clutch in Black $170

Fall is in the air! Well, not here, but somehow my body is still attuned to that ‘now it’s September and school has started so bust out the cozy clothes’ schedule. Fortunately for us, so is Felix Rey. You might know F.R. from their fantastic collaboration with Target last spring (one of the best, in my opinion), but I’ve been a longtime fan of their edgy, girly, sensibility; I especially love that their stuff doesn’t look like everything else.

The Fall Collection is no exception, full of luxe ruffles and bows, and sumptuous textures like suede and snakeskin. They’ve taken their signature feminine style, and toughened it up a bit with gorgeous fall colors like ‘Asphalt’ (chocolate brown), and a deep, rich shade called ‘Hunter Green.’ Although the Suede Ruffle Tote is available in both, for those of you who prefer a bright splash of color, never fear – the stunning Santos Snake Clutch also comes in a dazzling shade called ‘Amethyst.’ (My personal fave!)

The best news? Not only will you receive 20% off at Felix Rey from now until October 7th with code FRLASM20? We’re also giving away this fabulous Mesi Clutch (pictured above) worth $170, to one lucky reader! I own one in Hot Pink ‘Ikat,’ lined in a heavy leopard print grosgrain, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever loved anything more. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post, letting me know what topics you’d like to see more of on L.A Stylist Mom. That’s it! Looking forward to hearing from you, and good luck!

*All comments must be received by the end of the giveaway, on Wednesday October 7th, at 11:59 EST. The winner will be chosen at random, notified via e mail, and announced on L.A. Stylist Mom, Friday October 9th. Open to U.S. residents only.
