Favorite Fridays- She Saved

Today's Favorite Friday's edition also features a giveaway. 

Meet Keri Lyn from SheSaved!



We are a big fan of Keri Lyn, (and not only because she is a fan and supporter of us!)

Keri is a self subscribed "quirky artist chic who loves to shop, save and share ideas."  But, most of all, Keri Lyn is an "obsessed saver of money, seeker of deals, and finder of freebies."  Which is why her blog, SheSaved, attracts parents who like a good deal.  You can always count on her for giveaways, coupons, and great deals! 

Like we said, Keri is also a Monet fan.  She says, "I felt very “polished” in my lovely Monet set when I got to wear it out last weekend, and that is something that this mom of two doesn’t really feel that often, lol!"

Now, you can feel polished,too.  Enter to win one of these charm bracelets and Valentine keepsakes on her site. 

But, don;t take our word for it.  Keri describes, "I was so impressed with the jewelry that I was able to enjoy for this review. I love that while it is very classy and elegant, it has a very affordable price point. I love how one piece of jewelry (or a set, for that matter) can complete the look of an outfit, and make you feel polished."

Enter now! 

Favorite Fridays

I can say that I have been a follower of Tavi's since the beginning.  Before she ever dyed her hair, before the bow that rocked fashion, before she interviewed Gwen Stefani... even before she was in 6th grade. 

Style Rookie graces the Favorite Friday's issue today because if you don't know about her, you need to.

Tavi Gevenson lives in a town outside of Chicago, goes to middle school every day, has homework, is obsessed with the 90's cult MTV show Daria and definitely marches to her own drum.

The last sentence is clearly why she has become a fashion sensation. Tavi has a style personality all her own.  Her blog often shows photos of her daily outfits, inspired by the likes of Courtney Love, the movie Virgin Suicides and Bjork.

To say her blog is fun to read is an understatement.  She is not just tapped into fashion, she creates fashion.  And you have to admire it.

Favorite Fridays

Today starts the first edition of Favorite Friday's. 

It is here that we will divulge our favorite bloggers, the reasons why they are our favorite and maybe even an interview with the Blogger of the Week!

Today's edition features Aly Walansky.  Aly is hosting a Monet jewelry giveaway starting TODAY.  Enter on her blog.

We asked Aly a few questions about herself, blogging, fashion and life!

When did you start blogging?

I've been blogging (in various incarnations and several genres) for about five years.

What’s the best thing about being a blogger?

I've learned so much -- I often feel like I'm getting a constant education. Every day, there's a new product, a new innovation, new trends and ideas -- and I get to be at the front line to see it all happening. It's an honor, and also a tremendous opportunity.

Why does fashion interest you?

I love the concept of fashion as wearable art, but also as the most visible form of self-expression. We like to say we "wear our emotions" - but fashion is the only context that this truly becomes valid.

How would you wear the Monet product in your giveaway?

Mine is classic glamour - I'd pair it with a simple black shift dress and let the jewelry do the work!

Your best jewelry shopping tip?

I am the consummate bargain shopper - I love to compare deals and prices and get the best buy for my buck. I also believe in the cost per wear - if you find something fabulous that you know you will wear often, then that is a great value for you!

What’s your jewelry philosophy?

I don't have a lot of jewelry, but what I do have, I love, and I know it will last the years. Jewelry is timeless, the pieces you choose today are the pieces your daughter may be wearing ten years from now.

How are you going to make your holiday season sparkle?

With love and laughter - that's the greatest accessory of all :-)

Funniest NYC moment?

I work from home, but often take my computer to a nearby Starbucks to have a bit of change in scenery. I'm there often enough that the barista will ask if I've been on vacation if I miss a few days. Recently, I was at the Starbucks, blogging away, and I received a call on my cell phone that a messenger was at my apartment, attempting to drop off a package. I explained to him I wasn't home, but was nearby - and he offered to bring it to me. I often call Starbucks my "office", but never was it more true than the day I got a messenger delivery as I sat at my "desk"!

Silver or gold? silver

Pearls or gems? gems

Chandeliers or hoops? hoops
