For the Twitter Obsessed: TwittaBling Nameplate Necklace

eye4style — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 10:46:47 -0700

If there are two things I love in the world, they're TWITTER and JEWELRY. So, marry the two, a la TwittaBling, and you're sure to have a hit on your hands (at least in my little corner of things.)

These adorbs, personalized pieces (available as necklaces, bracelets, rings or earrings) share your Twitter pride with the world, and serve as a handy little conversation piece too!

Choose from your choice of font (@eye4style, shown above, is in Gothic), chain length, as well as silver, white or yellow gold and if you love a little sparkle (who doesn't, I'm tempted to ask?), you can even add Swarovski crystals or diamonds to your Twittabling - love that!

Shop TwittaBling online - custom necklaces start at just $49.95 - OR if you're feeling lucky, enter to win a custom TwittaBling necklace of your very own (I'm giving one away to a lucky eye4style reader!)

To enter to win, simply follow TwittaBling and eye4style on Twitter and tweet the following:

Hey @eye4style & @TwittaBling! I want a custom Twitter necklace of my very own! #contest #giveaway

One winner will be chosen at random on Friday at Noon EST.

Good luck!

Win It: Diamond Stud Earrings from Kohl's

eye4style — Fri, 07 May 2010 12:07:49 -0700

I'm what some might call a jewelry evangelist. And my jewelry PLATFORM (if you will) is built on the thinking that there's no such thing as a single jewelry must-have. Jewelry is about adoration and lust and it's unabashedly PERSONAL. But even I admit that there's one notable exception to my rule.

The classic diamond stud earring:

Now, no matter how you define your style - funky, boho or sophisticated or avant-garde - there's ALWAYS an occasion for a diamond stud earring. I personally like to rock mine (a platinum, 2 carat total weight pair by Tacori), with otherwise statement-making pieces. After all, I never want to be too TOO, if you see where I'm going there.

It goes without saying that studs are the perfect gift for yourself or someone special, so I've partnered with Kohl's for an exclusive giveaway of 1/2 carat total weight, 14k gold diamond studs, with a retail value of $1,750!

To enter to win, leave a comment on this post WITH your email enabled (I need to notify you if you win!)

Limit of one entry per blog commenter. One winner will be announced on Monday, May 10, 2010 at 12 PM EST.

And even if you don't win, keep in mind that you can find it all at Kohl’s jewelry department – certified diamond earrings and rings, gemstones, pearls and top name brand watches like Citizen and Bulova. All at incredible prices. And with Kohl’s discounts and savings passes, you can’t find a better value on jewelry anywhere.

Good Luck!

Win This: Sue Devitt Triple Touch Light Reflecting Bronzer

eye4style — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:21:06 -0700

Truth be told, I'm bronzer-handicapped. But after years of testing products that were too orange, too gold or too glittery, I've finally found one that's JUST RIGHT (call me Goldilocks!) So, what's my secret? It's Sue Devitt's Triple Touch Light Reflecting Bronzer.

This sleek silver palette houses a myriad of bronze shades from light to dark - simply blend with a large fluffy brush to find your perfect hue and apply to the apples of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose, your hairline and anywhere else that the sun might naturally hit. It also works just as beautifully as a eye shadow palette and by now, I think you KNOW how I feel about multi-taskers (if not, let me reiterate that I LOVE THEM.)

Since I dig this bronzer more than words can say, I've partnered with the team at Sue Devitt for a giveaway. If you'd like to be bronzed and beautiful this Spring, simply leave a comment telling me what beauty product you simply can't live without. And while you're at it, visit the Sue Devitt Facebook Page and follow Sue Devitt on Twitter for some fab beauty tips!

Three winners will be chosen at random next Thursday, March 25 at 11PM EST to receive their very own Triple Touch Light Reflecting Bronzer.

Good luck~!

If you're a fashion television buff like me, you'll be thrilled to know that Atari has partnered with the executive producers of Project Runway to create the first-ever video game based on show. Available now, it's an exclusive for Wii and lets YOU play the role of aspiring fashion designer. Fierce, right?

The game features all of your PR faves - Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors - as well as the top eight contestants from season six including reigning Project Runway winner Irina Shabayeva.

If you simply can't get enough Project Runway, I suggest you snag a copy of your own for $39.99 at www.atari.com. You can also follow updates on Twitter and fan the game on Facebook.

In honor of the launch, I have $50 Visa gift cards to give away to three lucky readers. Just think - you can put it towards creating your very own accessory wall!

Olivia Wilde Gets Lucky

eye4style — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:21:49 -0800

Olivia Wilde's alter ego-at least when it comes to fashion-is French: "I find myself constantly pretending I'm a chic Parisian," says the L.A.-based actress (she plays 13 on House).

"I even dream of buying a Balmain jacket (don't we all, Olivia, don't we all?) with really sharp shoulders. If I can pull off that look, I will have succeeded, at least partially, in my quest."

Olivia shares her favorite bargain haunt in the January issue of Lucky, "Coats from H&M are inexpensive and usually have something extra going on-so even with a simple sheath dress, your outfit is still interesting."

To hear more from Olivia or to enter a giveaway to win her cover look worth nearly $1500, click here. The January issue of Lucky – the first-ever GIVEAWAY ISSUE - is on nationwide newsstands December 8.

Win This: Schick Intuition Plus Limited Edition Razor!

eye4style — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 16:29:56 -0700

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to hair removal, so I've been known to rely on a razor. One of my faves is the new Schick Intuition Plus Limited Edition Razor.

It goes without saying that the Schick Intuition Plus removes hair effortlessly - but it also has a built in Skin Moisturizing Solid, which eliminates the need for shave gel, soap or body wash. Instead, the shea butter, vitamin E and aloe soothe and moisuturize your skin as you shave, making this baby perfect for travel, or let's face it, time-stretched mornings.

Best of all, the ergonomic handle now comes in THREE limited edition designs (just one is shown to the left). This slim design fits comfortably in the hand and more importantly, it's totally cute!

Schick Intuition Plus Limited Edition Razors normally retail for $9.29 each (refills are $9.99 for 3) but lucky eye4style readers have a chance to win one of THREE with refills! Simply enter your name and email address into the widget below and tell me your fave color for the handle - pink, blue or green. The winners will be selected next Saturday at noon. Good luck!
