Earring Exchange ***ENDED***

In my opinion, earrings are like shoes...you can never have enough pairs! Earring Exchange helps to make that possible. There are always so many colors, shapes, sizes and styles to choose from, but at Earring Exchange these are interchangeable or rather exchangeable! :)

All of the hooks and hoops are designed in a way where the decorative part can be removed and another can be added on in its place. Cool, right? And sooooo economical!

You can simply find a pretty pair of earrings:

Or a whole set that you can change for a different look every day:

Even earring and necklace sets!

Also, just about every item ships for free! The owner of Earring Exchange also has two other shops: Accessory Aisle (fun charms and holiday earrings) and Bead Party (lots of beads)!

But my favorite thing about Earring Exchange??? I love how the owner genuinely cares for other people; even those she has never met. She has earrings that she sells at an extremely low price in the PIF (Pay it Forward) section of her shop. All that she asks is that the buyer do one act of kindness in exchange for the deal on the earrings. Thank you Mindy for doing your part to make this world a better place!

The winner of this giveaway will be receiving $20 credit to be used in the Earring Exchange. What a great giveaway!

Just Be... ***ENDED***

A few years ago my sister-in-law gave me this fabulous handbag for my birthday: I just love it! It's unique, stylish, and fun. Well, the handbag is from Just Be... Their motto is, "There is beauty in individuality, Just be...." and they leave it open for you to finish the sentence! Do you want to be fun? Fabulous? Unique? Giving? You get to decide just how you want to be at Just Be...
There are so many things that I love in the Just Be... shop that it was really difficult for me to decide which items to share with you! So be sure and take a gander of EVERYTHING they have to offer for yourself.

How fabulous and unique is this bag? And its size allows it to work great as a diaper bag, too!

These bags are gorgeous!

Isn't this bag soooo fun? I know a few girls who would love to own it!

Ok are you ready for a great surprise? Just Be... doesn't just create handbags. They also have some CUTE twirl skirts for the young girls.

See what I mean? Too CUTE!!

What's more to love about Just Be... ? They believe in giving back and they do this in so many ways. One is making items for shelters out of the leftover scraps of material that most would just throw away. I think that this particularly touched me, because I tend to be very wasteful with things; including with material at the end of a project. Thank you Suzi, Jeni, Gaye, and everyone else at Just Be... for recognizing what is truly important and using your talents for the benefit of others.

Now that you are in love with this shop like I am...
The owner of Just Be... is generously giving away a $30 gift certificate to be use in her online shop! It's times like these that I wish that I could enter!

Robeez ***ENDED***

For those of you who have been following for a while you know how much I'm a fan of Robeez. They are amazing shoes for babies and children alike. Robeez are both durable and trendy looking, so they aren't the typical looking "little" shoe! They pride themselves on being good for the feet as they are approved by podiatrists. Robeez carries 3 different stages of shoes: Soft Sole for newborn to 24 months, Mini Shoez for shoe sizes 2-5, and Tredz for shoe sizes 3-7. So there is something for every stage! With the holiday season fast approaching, they even have shoes that will complete your little ones look in holiday wear.

Aren't these in patent leather too adorable?

How about these in sparkly pink?

I'm thinking my little guy would look way snazzy in these loafers!

And aren't these just darling for either a baby boy or girl?

See what I mean? Great looking shoes! The winner of the giveaway for today is going to be one lucky winner. Robeez is giving away 1 pair of shoes from their holiday line to the winner...and the winner gets to pick which pair! Great shoes and a great giveaway!

All this talk of the holidays is making me feel in the spirit of giving, so I guess I'll let you all have 5 chances to win again today! :) As always be sure and leave separate comments for each entry on this posting to enter. **If you qualify for all 5 chances then leave 5 separate comments**

Layer's Clothing ***ENDED***

I first heard about Layer's Clothing several years ago while on a family trip to Lake Powell. My teen aged nieces (who are all very fashion savy I might add) had some new, really cute swimwear for the trip. The swimwear that Layer's Clothing has to offer is both fashion forward and comfortable to wear. You won't constantly be having to tug on the top as it is long enough to provide great coverage. Right now all their swimwear is on clearance, so it's a great time to stock up for the summer!

I just love so many of the things that Layer's Clothing has to offer.

They have Shapeware:

Basic pieces to help achieve that "layered" look:

And you know how the ruffle look is totally in now? Look at these cute tops!

They even have sophisticated dresses!
So many things to buy right? Well, I have great news for you. Layer's Clothing is giving one lucky winner a $25 e-gift certificate for their online shop! How fun is that?

Supporter of Causes

Remember how I love to hear about people who are helping to wage the war against cancer? Well, I recently came in contact with this great shop owner (she will actually be doing a giveaway the middle of November) who does just that! The owner of Anthro-Philanthropy is truly an inspiration and blessing to those who are suffering from life changing illness. After having a friend fight another type of illness and then watching her own sister successfully fight against cancer, she decided to give back. She now creates unique pieces to be used in fund raising auctions. These range from mirrors to furniture. And her furniture is now being carried in a store local to Denver. She has taken it upon herself to make a difference. I am most sincere when I say, 'thank you'.
