Speaking of Shopping…
Ya’ll.
I have to share a new website that I just found with you. And I’m so excited about sharing it because it is actually a reader’s website! Meet lovely Imaginary Friend, Amanda…
Lovely Imaginary Friend, Amanda, sent me a link to her website, AJ Designs. It’s like one of those little boutique shops you find when you’re not expecting to and before you know it, you’ve spent your whole paycheck. Only, it’s a website.
I love her jewelry! Look at this floral, beaded cuff. I can think of about 10,000 outfits I own that would go with this.
I love this bracelet, too. Have I mentioned my love of bracelets? I love them. And I love them especially when they are turquoise.
But it’s the earrings that make my heart swoon. Don’t these make you want to take a vacation somewhere beachy? I would buy a sundress just to wear with these earrings.
And don’t tell me you’ve never bought an outfit to match a piece of jewelry before… We all do that. Right? RIGHT???
I’d also add this little gem of a bracelet to my shopping cart. Wouldn’t this be beautiful with jeans and a white t-shirt? Just spiff it up a bit. (Speaking of jeans and white t-shirts, are we still doing that? Is that too 2003? Cause I still love that look…)
And, oh my word, could you imagine Lucy wearing pearls?!?!? I die! I die!
Because she’s fun like that, Amanda has graciously offered to host a giveaway here today – lucky you! She’s giving away one of her sterling silver, beaded, crystal rings. So fun! And the winner gets to pick their jewel color!
To be entered to win, leave a comment telling me which piece of Amanda’s jewelry you’d buy if you could only have one thing. I think mine would have to be those earrings up there – and then I’d go buy that sundress to match. I’ll close the giveaway on Friday at 8pm EST and announce a winner on Monday. Good luck!
Thanks, Amanda, for hosting such a fun giveaway! I loves me some jewelry!

Katie, I’m TOTALLY with you on those earrings! I live at the beach, so those would go with about every outfit I own. Love, love, LOVE!! I’m one of those girls who can never seem to have enough jewelry – thanks for featuring Amanda’s site 🙂 P.S. I love the jeans & white T-shirt look…..

My favorite would have to be the turquoise bracelet. I love wearing blue to bring out my blue eyes, so it would go with SO many things that I own.

I’m a huge necklace girl and that Swarovski Lariat is swoonworthy! Great website find Katie, and I love the new site!
Kara
I seriously love the beaded cuff! I don’t have 10,000 outfits, but I certainly have a few it would go perfectly with!
Whintey
I like the Bali bracelet. And although I don’t have a little girl, I just love the baby’s first pearl bracelet. Oh and I like the keychains also.
Katie N.
I love the apple bracelet! So cute!

I love the earrings!
Suz McA
Love EVERYTHING! Especially Triple Tranquility bracelet (I’m with you Katie on the jeans & white tee look!) and the Olivine Sterling Silver ring. Beauties!
Keri
I would TOTALLY get the silver floral cuff for a few reasons. First it’s utterly adorable, and second it reminds me of a bracelet that my great grandmother used to have. She was a HUGE collector of jewelry whether it was new, used, real, fake and she had a costume bracelet that looked almost exactly like this that I loved. When I was little she would dress me up in her old clothes and jewelry and then take me to the old antique shops in Savannah, GA. When she passed away we had to go through and clean up her house to sell and one of the things I wanted was her old costume jewelry but another family member swooped in and took her whole jewelry box before I could go through it.
LaSha
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the doggie pearls!!
carla
the beaded cuffs definitely
Melanie
I really love the floral bracelet it’s so pretty!
Sarah H.
I looked at her site and I have to say that my favorite thing is that beaded, crystal ring right there!! In burgandy too! Because who has a burgandy ring? No one. But I want to. It would match so much!
Stephanie@ourmarriageadventure
Ohh I love the green tea dangle earrings. But I love dangle earrings. And green…so it was easy.
Kelly
Just took a look at her site…all of her stuff is ADORABLE. If I could choose only one thing though, I think it would go for the chandelier black and silver earrings and wear them with a LBD.
And btw, I still love the jeans and white t-shirt look…it is a classic that is always made a little better with some great accessories!
Katy
I love Triple Tranquility!!…I would totally wear it with jeans and a white t-shirt!!…and if that is totally 2003 I’m okay with that!!…now the only problem is fitting my post-pregnancy body back into my pre-pregnancy jeans!! 😉
Robin
Beautiful stuff! Like you, I love the jeans and a white shirt look, and I think that Triple Tranquility bracelet would look amazing with it.
Jenny J.
I am personally in love with the Floral Bracelet that is #7 in the slideshow with white and pink pearls and the green gems – GORGEOUS!!!! I’m also not usually a fan of rings that have gems inset all the way around the band or similar things, but her rings section took my breath away!
Staci
I’m in love with the turquoise bracelet. Its bee-you-tee-ful.
Jen C
I love the light blue beaded bracelet. As you said, perfect to wear with jeans and a white shirt. Just what I need, another awesome jewelry site to help me stray from my budget. I can already hear my husband complaining 🙂
Candice
I might die over the silver floral cuff bracelet. It’s amazing.
Caitlin
I’m with you about the earrings, gorgeous! They’d be great with a sundress or the white shirt and jeans you love!
Maryellen
I love the double looped wine bracelet and the floral bracelet. I don’t think I could choose just one. If it had to be one, I think I’d go with a beaded lanyard.
Kristen S.
I love the Olivine Sterling Silver Ring!
Deb
I love them all, naturally, but that bracelet that would go so well with jeans and a white T – I LOVE it!
Jessica
Nice stuff! I would have me any of that nice sterling silver stuff, earrings most likely.
Sarah R
I love the turquoise! I have a weakness…..
Brittney
It would have to be the beaded, floral cuff. But I do love it all!!
katie s
I would get the dumortierite bracelet!
Jordan
Oooh, I’m loving the turqouise jewelry, yummm 🙂
vdragon
I love her beaded cuffs, but I never wear bracelets… I think her earrings are my favorite.
Tanya
I love the Khaki sterling silver ring.. too cute 🙂
Suzanne
I love the Silver Floral Cuff Bracelet. So pretty!
Suzie
The double looped wine bracelet is so cute!
I’m with you on the triple tranquility bracelet too…I just wish it came in a necklace 🙁 How cute would that be to wear the matching bracelet and necklace with the white t-shirt and jeans!
erin
I wear bracelets with anything and everything. (And I still totally rock the white tee shirt and jeans, SO!) For some reason my toddler destroys necklaces but leaves bracelets alone, which is good because I love them. And I love that “Garden Party” flower cuff you featured. It is so pretty!! It would go with everything I own, and pretty much everything I don’t own but would love to own also. 🙂
Katina G
I love the floral, beaded bracelet in silver… but my favorite on her site has got to be the peridot bracelet. LOVE it not only for color and style, but because the stone is my daughter’s birthstone and I’ve been dying to have more jewelry featuring peridots. Beautiful stuff!
JoAnna
I love the black Swarovski hoop earrings!
Sara R
What neat jewelry! I really like the Swarovski Lariat neclace. Very unique, and I think I would have to buy the outfit to match!
Laurie
I love the floral bracelet..so gorgeous!
Jessica Reed
I love the beaded cuff!!!
Katie van der Meer
I absolutely love the three strand bracelet with the blue beads that you said would look so fantastic with a white t-shirt and jeans (a style I also adore and dont care if it is out of date… if that is even possible).
Jordy
I love the Swarovski Lariat! I’m a necklace kind of girl.
Jaclyn
I love that silver and blue bracelet (with the three rows linked together by the clasp) — so pretty! and more simple than wearing multiple bracelets. Plus, I love that light blue color — it’s the Tarheel in me, plus it’s one of my sorority’s colors AND close to my March birthstone. Triple whammy!
Jenn
I love the doggy wearing pearls! I think when all my kids are raised and gone, I’m going to get a little dog and spoil it with pearls and a baby stroller.
Kristin H
I love that turquoise bracelet – but I also love the floral cuff in silver on the website! Such beautiful work.
Diane
I LOVE the beaded cuff…I would absolutely get that if it were my only choice! Such adorable things.

I think I could live in her black crystal flip flops.
Manisha
I love the garden party bracelet!
Jessica
I loooooove the turquoise bracelet!!!
Kelly
Love the new website! I would choose the Dumortierite necklace. Thanks for the giveaway!
P.S. I always wear a white (or black) tee with jeans. Hopefully it still works!
Ashley
I think the light blue bracelet is gorgeous, but my heart skips beats over that ring! I just LOVE rings 🙂
Lacey
OMG- The pearls on the dog are TO DIE. Love!!
katie k.
THE EARRINGS. and then i’d take a vacation in the south hemisphere so i could wear them on a beach. australia?!? (ok. so that’s SO not happening, but still!) 😛
Amanda
LOVE the floral beaded cuff and I would love to see that little pearl necklace on my dog. HE may not appreciate it but it would be so cute!

Beautiful jewelry! I can’t decide between the Silver Floral Cuff Bracelet and the Double Looped Wine Bracelet. Gorgeous!! 🙂
Nova Kristin
The floral beaded cuff is divine!!!

Oooooh can’t decide between the Princess Cut , Turquoise Bali or the Black & White bracelet. If she ships to Canada, I may have to ask for one as a Christmas pressie 🙂
natascha
I love the turquoise bracelet! It reminds me of my Grandfather, he used to make jewelry and he used a lot of turquoise.
Sara @ embrylovescookies
I normally don’t like heart shaped stuff, but those Swarovski heart pendants are to die for!
Bridgette
Oh…definitely the Garden Party bracelet! I love, love, love it!
Sanja
I would love the beaded cuff. So cute and it almost goes with everything!
Deana Rooks
The floral beaded cuff is my first choice!
Gin
Under the necklaces, the very last one, called Charmed. It’s exactly my style! In fact, the only thing keeping it from jumping in my cart is Poor Grad Student Syndrome.
Gin
This one isn’t an entry, just another comment I thought of. The jeans and white t-shirt is totally in. Everybody looks good in it, it’s very fresh and cute. And, I know for a fact my boyfriend loves it.
Tiffany
I absolutely love all the colors in the beaded cuff!
September
LOVE the floral beaded cuff!
Lindsey
I would choose the Black Extended Necklace, love it!!!

The floral bracelet, the one she has displayed as the bracelet example, is gorgeous. I love the subtle colors. Also think her makeup application is beautiful!
Tammy N.
I love the bronze beaded cuff, but all the rings are nice too! Very, very nice stuff.
Kendra
I love the rings!
Lori
I’d so pick the beaded cuff! Can’t wait to have some time to check out this new little shop!
oregonjudy
pearls please.
Betty
I like the light blue pearl cuff bracelet. Classy!
Katie
Being an extremely broke college student, I shouldn’t even browse through sites like this. It’s all pretty gosh darn it! And I can’t afford it! Double gosh darn it! But…I browsed anyways (and bookmarked it…) and under the necklaces, the White Multi Strand necklace is absolutely beautiful. I feel like I would wear that constantly!
Jo
I love almost everything! But if I had to choose just one, I would get a necklace, because you can never have too many!
Katrina
I like the multi strand white necklace. =)
Mbornsgaard
Love the turquoise bracelet, and Amanda’s site too
Ashley

LOVE the beaded cuff and I am totally not a jewelry girl.

I love the Siam double strung bracelet!
Amy B
I love that beaded cuff! What a fun creative piece, I would be the hit of any event I’m sure!
Farrah
I LOVE them all….but especially the Triple Tranquility bracelet! Like you, I think it would look fabulous with jeans a white shirt….in 2003 or 2010. : )
Jana

Personally, I’d buy the black diamond heart pendant because the heart is a good luck charm for me. I love hearts so much
Sara M
I’m not into bracelets or necklaces, but I love me some rings! I would choose the crystal golden shadow ring.
Valerie
I’d pick the third bracelet. The one with all the light blue beads. Love it!!
Maureen
I like the durmortierite necklace, or however you spell it 🙂 It’s pretty!
Alyssa
Her stuff is so pretty. I am a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl so I think something simple to really dress up t-shirt would be the black extended necklace. It’s simple, it’s easy and it would make me look like I’ve got good taste 🙂
Nicole
Well, if I were only allowed one piece of her jewelry I would cry! BUT, to choose one it would have to be the beaded bracelet you picked out to wear with jeans and a white T-shirt. BEAUTIFUL! (Going to get it too, but not going to let it be my only purchase!) 😉
lacy
I just love the turquoise bracelet! I love the new website too by the way!
Rachel
I would probably buy the Olivine sterling silver ring. The green color is so dramatic!
