Valentines Day with Hanuel

Because, every girl should be showered with jewels on Valentine's Day...

Noonday Style

You know what's the best? Finding amazing brands like Noonday, where the mission behind the brand is just as good as the product. Noonday Collection was started by it's founder, Jessica, in an effort to raise money to adopt her (now) son from Rwanda. In 2011 she brought her son home and since then has not stopped giving back. She basically provides jobs for thousands now as she works with 28 artisan groups in over 10 countries to produce items for the collection. All of their jewelry and accessories are made from ethically sourced materials and by using fair trade practices and are all handmade by the artisans in each country where they are sourced from. Noonday is not only creating beautifully crafted products, but are also creating pathways out of poverty in these communities and empowering people in otherwise vulnerable populations to be able to provide for their families. A portion of sales is also donated to help place orphans in forever families.

I'm sure you, like us, find it to be a no-brainer to want to support this company and purchase from their site after hearing about the story of Noonday Collection. I really think it's our duty, as consumers, to support brands like this by not always shopping from the big retailers or designers. Kelli, a Noonday Collection Ambassador, reached out wanting to partner with us to bring The Fashionably Broke readers an amazing Noonday Collection giveaway ($80 to spend on their site!) and we couldn't say yes any faster than we did. We were able to get our hands on a few items, the Nomadic Clutch (sold out), the Etched Bar Bracelet and the Athena Cuff (all made with love in India) to show you guys how cute their collection is. So, use the Rafflecopter below to enter and good luck!

Spring Sunnies

A sunny day does not go unnoticed around here, with all of the snow we've been having. So when these days come around we make sure to be fully prepped with a selection of cute, sunglasses to choose from. One of our favorite brands, Nectar, just came out with this pair and let us give them a little test drive. We love them because they are so on-trend for this season with their colored frames and mirrored lenses. They are the Banyan, Nectar Sunglasses's new, red tortoise shell sunnies. They're going to be perfect for festival season, don't you think?

Thanks to Nectar, we're giving away a pair of the new Banyan's to one lucky reader. Use the Rafflecopter below to enter and good luck! xx

Target Registry + A Giveaway

You guys know how much I love Target. If you didn't know, just follow me on Instagram, I #TargetDoesItAgain all over the place. I recently partnered up with Target again where this time they asked me why I thought it was the perfect place for newly engaged couples to come when it comes to their wedding registry. My boyfriend and I are really in to decorating our home right now and it has become such a fun process for us to do together. We shop at Target often for home decor anyways, so naturally I would just love a reason to cruise on through the store, with a magical gun, checking off everything we would love to have for our home. Target is such a reliable go-to for home decor with their classic mixed with trendy style, so it would be only more fun to go and explore what happens as two (styles) become one, pun intended :)

Target also wanted me to giveaway $25 to one of our readers, so use the Rafflecopter below to enter for your chance to win and purchase some of my home decor picks you saw above. Most of the stuff up there is on temporary price cut too (because Target is just so awesome) so you don't want to waste any time. Go enter and good luck! xx

Chloe + Isabel

I wasn't always a lover of big earrings. Besides maybe a basic hoop, simple studs or bare was how I rolled. But ever since about last fall, I've turned a corner and found that a pair of statement earrings can be so chic! Especially if you wear them like this, casually with a messy pony and chambray.

If you’re like me and testing out wearing bigger earrings, a pair like these from Chloe + Isabel are a great place to start. A bright color, like red, is not only great for summertime, but will easily transition into the fall and winter seasons as well. Here, you see me style them for summer, with a colorful maxi dress, but the geometric stones make them edgy enough that I can see myself wearing them with black, leather leggings and a white tee in the fall/winter.

Thanks to my personal Chloe + Isabel rep, Jaimie, we are able to give away a pair of these earrings to one of you! Just use the Rafflecopter below to enter and good luck! xx

Uncommon Goods + A Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Congratulations to Morgan Reid!

When we discovered Uncommon Goods on Alison's blog , we quickly found our selves browsing the site for hours! Literally, I have never seen so much cool stuff in one place. As I continue to decorate our condo, I'm always looking for fun stuff to add some character to our space. So far, I've ordered these wine glass holders (perfect for our patio which is currently lacking tables, but does have planters) and these graphic pillow cases, which clearly appealed to me. My two favorite things in life: Wine + sleeping.

Luckily, Uncommon Goods liked us back and was willing to host a giveaway to our fabulous readers - A $50 gift card to their site! We thought it would serve as the perfect little thank you from us and the perfect place to shop Graduation, Father's Day and summer birthday presents for you!
