Lovestruck by Fashion & Freebies

A few months ago, I went to the Grand Opening of the Korean jewelry store, J.Estina, at The Plaza Hotel. Though they are predominantly known for their crown designs which are symbols of good luck in Korea, J.Estina, has me seeing hearts with their special Valentine’s Day offer.  Those of you in the New York area can enter to win a J.Estina sterling silver necklace and receive complimentary engraving on your purchase simply by printing the above card, filling it out, and dropping it off at their jewelry boutique at The Plaza.

Here’s some more fun Valentine’s Day shopping ideas from my heart to yours:

MONET GIVEAWAY: So Glam It’s Scary!

Halloween may be a fun excuse to dress up as something else and watch horror films, however, in actually aspiring to greatness is all about faking it until you make it.  If there is anything I have learned in my first year residing in NYC, it is that this is a city of perception not of reality. So, here everyday is Halloween.  In honor of this glamorous All Hallows Eve, I will be giving away this elegant string of pearls with removable ribbon compliments of MONET to a fellow aspiring socialite.  If you haven’t noticed already, this necklace is the perfect accessory for any Halloween costume, particularity a flapper.  To win, send a tweet to @Aspiresocialite or leave a comment on this post (include your email address) telling me what you are going to be for Halloween.

Ever since it’s founding in 1929, MONET has been the leader in costume jewelry.  Their impeccable craftsmanship never ceases to have a vintage feel.  MONET has a collection for every month each named after a song.  This string of pearls is from the Piano Man collection.  Be sure to check out MONET’s Online Shop up just in time for the holidays.  So go ahead and socialite up any Halloween costume or holiday party dress with MONET.  For more information on the fabulousness of costume jewelry and collectables pick up a copy of Costume Jewelry by Judith Miller.
