The Fashionable Housewife could be the Next Guest Stylist at ICE!

December 5, 2011 By

We were pretty much psyched when ICE.com asked us to join in the contest to be come their next Guest Stylist! Obviously, we consider ourselves to be somewhat stylish and of course, we LOVE sparkly baubles, beautiful jewelry included and that is why we LOVE ICE.com! So we were asked to pick out two of our favorite items on ICE right now and let me just tell you that there are WAY too many to choose from, but I managed to narrow it down to the following two:

 

Sterling Silver Black Swarovski Crystal Earrings- Dramatic black Swarovski crystals provide a striking contrast to gleaming sterling silver in these delicate heart-shaped earrings. A unique and beautiful look.

Tahitian Pearl, Black & White Diamond 14K White Gold Ring- The hottest look in jewelry, deep black diamonds get their exotic beauty from a special irradiation process. In this pretty ring, dramatic black diamonds are paired with white diamonds and a single dusky Tahitian pearl, all in a setting of cool 14K white gold. The perfect look for any occasion.

I love the simplicity but also the drama of Black and White together. Whether I planned to wear the earrings with a little black dress to a holiday party and the ring all the time, these two choices would most definitely ALWAYS be in style. Hey, even if I am not dressing up, what’s wrong with pairing these with jeans and a tee… absolutely nothing! So how do we become guest stylists at ICE.com? Well, it’s up to you guys! You can either comment on this post or “LIKE” our ICE post on Facebook and it’s considered a VOTE for us. So c’mon, help us out!

And as a bonus to The Fashionable Housewife readers (AKA you!) ICE has offered you 20% off jewelry at Ice with coupon code FBBOC or by shopping this link: http://www.ice.com/?sourcecode=FBBOC.  (Some exclusions apply: This offer cannot be combined with any other offers.

5 Must-Have Winter Accessories

December 5, 2011 By

Accessories can make or break an outfit – that’s why you need these five must-have winter accessories to transform every outfit in your closet into a unique and stylish work of art!

Statement Necklace

Dress this necklace up or down with a basic tee and jeans or a killer little black dress and stiletto heels. However you style it, this gorgeous necklace will look right at home at every holiday party – I love how the drops look like little icicles!

($29.99, ModCloth.com)

 

 

 

 

Cocktail Ring

Most cocktail rings are oversize and very bold, but this vintage-inspired metallic rose cocktail ring offers a fashionable and more subtle approach. Layers of silver tone petals combine to form a beautiful rose, while the stretchy base ensures a perfect fit every time. Slip this on your finger for your next holiday fete and it’s the only accessory you’ll need to shine!

($20, 1928 Jewelry)

 

Bright Gloves

Frigid temperatures call or a functional way to keep your hands warm – but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to drab, boring gloves! Pick an eye-popping pair like these bright pink gloves to keep your hands warm this winter. The large bow detail gives them extra style points, too! Available in pink or red.

($54.90, Mango)

 

 

 

Floral Scarf

Even when temperatures drop, a floral scarf will help remind you that you have spring to look forward to! This  scarf by Madewell features a delicate floral pattern against a white backdrop (also available in navy). Made from a wool-gauze blend, this scarf also features fringed edges for an extra special touch.

($52, Shopbop.com)

 

 

 

Go-Everywhere Handbag

Every woman needs a go-anywhere handbag in her arsenal, and this stylish tote from Jessica Simpson is simply perfect! Available in several colors, this handbag  features two interior pockets to stash important essentials, plus double handles for the ultimate in carrying comfort!

($59.99, eBags.com)

 

 

What do you think of these must-have winter accessories? Do you plan to incorporate any of them into your winter wardrobe?

Jewelmint Giveaway, Any Piece of Your Choice!

October 17, 2011 By

We had the opportunity to try Jewelmint, Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter’s awesome Jewelry Membership Site. They offer you a great selection of jewelry based on your taste and selections, creating a “showroom” of perfect picks to grow you jewelry wardrobe with new and exciting pieces.

Check out Jewelmint …what do you think?

I chose the Here to Eternity Set, which let me tell you, is just lovely. Jewelmint sends their jewelry in a precious mint green box tied, literally, with a bow. Receiving this piece was quite the experience. Dainty and right up my alley, this piece is simple yet statement worthy. I received multiple compliments on how adorable this necklace and earring set is. While I know that Jewelmint prides itself on being affordable (which is awesome), they don’t compromise on quality. This set seems more expensive. Kudos Jewelmint for finding a fan in me! I have definitely become a member.

JewelMint is a monthly membership program, so after you make your first purchase, you will receive a charge of $29.99 each month that provides you with one credit. These credits can be used on any piece of jewelry and are good for a year! Please know that you are not obligated to receive this monthly charge, and are welcome to skip any month you wish by simply selecting the “skip this month” option in your Showroom. If you want to avoid this charge, you must make sure to do so before the 5th of the month or you will receive a credit. Don’t be apprehensive, you control the purchases.

So do you want to win an item from Jewelmint?

Your Fall Wardrobe isn’t set until you have your jewelry in order… and I mean getting some super affordable yet on trend pieces to sass up your outfits. Enter Kate Bosworth’s new endeavor, Jewelmint. Not only is the jewelry super cute but it is super affordable at only $29.99 a piece for jewelry that looks MUCH more expensive!

It’s a really cool site where you basically fill out a style questionnaire and you are given a “showroom” of jewelry that is most suited for your tastes. Obviously, you can look at other styles as well but I think they were pretty spot on when I signed up. Take a look at some of their Fall looks and let us know what you think!

If you are a fan of Modern Family, then you are totally a fan of the sassy Sofia Vergara. She was recently spotted on The Hollywood Walk of Fame honoring Ed O’Neill wearing Adeler Jewelry worth over $20,000! I don’t know about you ladies but I don’t have $9,000 for a chunky cocktail ring… but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get the look.
