JewelMint's January 2012 Collection: The Showroom and Your Purchases!

Photo: JewelMint

It's a new year and a new month which means all the new pieces from JewelMint have arrived! I'm really loving the diversity of this month's collection. From wood to feathers and baubles to charms, I think there's a little bit of everything for everyone's different tastes and styles.

My must-have's of the month include the following pieces: Lucky Charms Pin, Smooth Sailing Necklace, Casablanca Necklace, Parisian Dream Earrings, Spellbound Earrings, and the Call To Arms Bracelet.

The Wing It Earrings are beautiful as well, but I would love to see these earrings with a lighter colored feather or silk floral drops. I'm not so sure if I could pull these off the way they are, but I'm a bit intrigued to find out. The champagne colored beads are indeed a gorgeous choice.

The Message in the Bottle Necklace is a unique design and I love how it will easily match the Hayden Necklace. I also think this necklace would be stunning with all diamond crystals! Don't you think?

The Divine Plume Necklace, Madison Avenue Earrings, and Carnaby Bangle are larger pieces that are all very statement. I would love to pair the Divine Plume over a cream silk cami and a maroon leather jacket of mine. The Madison Avenue would easily top off the look as well. The Carnaby Bangle would look great layered with the Bird Cage Bangle!

JewelMint's October 2011 Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

I'd like to start off by shouting out a huge "Thanks!" to both JewelMint and Jennifer from TheLooksForLess.com! Friday night's October Twitter Party was an absolute blast and I couldn't have asked for two more awesome co-hosts!

I hope everyone had a great time, and congrats again to all the winners who were chosen at random! Each winner received one JewelMint credit!

"Looks For Jewels" Pre-Party Photo Contest Winner: @MyDressyWays

1st Party Winner: @gabichan

2nd Party Winner: @lackadisical84

3rd Party Winner: @AngelicWings33

4th Party Winner: @cityloveshoes

In addition, I really hope you guys enjoyed the $6 Off Promo Code "TWPARTY06" from JewelMint which was valid on all pieces prior to October!

While the October Collection party has come to an end, I also want to say "Happy 1st Anniversary!" to JewelMint. In celebration, JewelMint announced the following on Facebook yesterday:

"Happy Birthday JewelMint! We'll be celebrating all month long with special promotions and best of of all when we hit 1 million fans, we're giving away a year's worth of JewelMint to 12 lucky winners! Tell ALL your friends to like JewelMint on Facebook and join the party!"

I'll be keeping up with all the special promotions and announcements as they post on Facebook, so stay tuned and don't forget to "like" JewelMint on Facebook in order to win big!!!

Last, but never least: I'm thrilled to hear which pieces you guys have picked up so far from October's Collection! It's also always super exciting to get an idea as to which pieces are the most popular and to predict which will be selling out first so please don't forget to participate in my poll below.

My top five picks from this month include the Calla Lilly Rings (they just call my name haha), the Yves Rings, the Empress Necklace, Wonderland Earrings, and From The Heart Rings. Although, ask me again in five minutes and I'll probably have changed my mind due to terrible indecisiveness being that it's sometimes just too hard to decide. :)

JewelMint's September 2011 Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

Photos: JewelMint

It's been a few days and hopefully everyone has rested and recovered from Wednesday Night's (Awesome) September Collections Party & Giveaway!

Again, a super huge thank you to everyone who joined in the chat! As always, I had a blast and I hope everyone else did too! I also want to say congrats again to Katie - the winner of my JewelMint Giveaway!

As for September's collection, I must say that I really think Kate and Cher have outdone themselves this month. I also think this month's selection serves extremely well as the perfect summer to fall transitional collection - from bright blues and a hint of pink all the way to a mixture of olivine and topaz. We can almost see a glimpse of winter with frosty white crystals encrusting a few pieces as well. Just gorgeous.

While photos of nine of the pieces from the collection were leaked early (of which six were available to purchase early), it was a nice surprise to see the Gatsby Bracelet, Ever Frost Ring, and Paramour Necklace make their debut at Midnight on the 1st.

Overall, I'm really excited about this month's designs. Classic statement pieces that are simple, yet intricate at the same time.

Lastly, I'm really hoping that the Payal Belle Bracelet makes a debut sometime soon. Could it be this month's Love That Binds Bracelet, being held back as a part of next month's collection, or a delayed piece such as the Moonbeam Ring that will make a random mid-month debut sometime within the next couple of months? Guess we shall wait and see!

JewelMint's August 2011 Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

The JewelMint & StyleMint August Collection Party was such a blast! Thank you so much to everyone who participated, and especially to those who patiently waited around for a spot to open up in the chat. 

You see, I didn't expect for the chat's occupancy to skyrocket up to 50 in a matter of no time at all. Unfortunately, a 50 person limit is what I currently have set up in an effort to sustain a conversation that is easy to follow along with. It is possible in the future that I will create a larger interface that will easily support a larger capacity of us JewelMint & StyleMint fans!

It's so great knowing that everyone has such a great time though, and I'm so excited about the amazing feedback I've received from those of you who attended. It was a bit of a bummer that the JewelMint & StyleMint glitches took place at midnight and that we all had to wait for it to be corrected until much later that morning, but I still think the party was overall a fun time!

I want to say congratulations again to Constance H. (the winner of my JewelMint giveaway)!

Also, for those those of you who missed the special announcement, here it is:

I announced the launch of Mint-Spiration.com - an online user photo gallery dedicated to JewelMint & StyleMint. Please feel free to register and upload your own photos to the gallery or create your own ablums! I will continue to upload my own photos to the site over the next days for everyone to see. This gallery really means a lot to me, and I would love to see your uploaded photos!

Also, I believe I corrected the "glitch" from the other night that was redirecting users when trying to register. Please let me know if you're still having issues with sign-up by sending an email to jewelsandmints@gmail.com. Thanks, I appreciate your feedback! :)

I'd also still love to hear what everyone ordered from the August collection! You can take the poll and leave a comment below as to which piece(s) you love most from the August Collection! :D

xoxo, Lily

P.S. I do hope that JewelMint releases that Love That Binds Bracelet soon! Anyone hear anything about it?

JewelMint's July Collection: The Showroom & Your Purchases!

Photos: JewelMint

Thanks again to everyone who joined the JewelMint July Collection & StyleMint Launch Party on Thursday Night!

Now that I'm (somewhat) caught up on sleep, I thought I'd compile a collage of all the July pieces for everyone to view! I will also be adding these pieces and last month's sets to my JewelMint Archive where you will be able to view, comment, and rate each piece individually. This will especially be helpful for those who may have held out on some items to hear some reviews, so please feel free to start reviewing as soon as your pieces arrive!

Naturally, I expect there to be a small delay in shipping time due to the 4th of July holiday weekend, but we'll manage! If only Streamlite offered teleportation services.... :)

Now that you've had a couple days to place your orders, which pieces did you guys pick?? You can choose more than one option in the poll below!

xoxo, Lily

P.S. Check out my StyleMint July Collection post on StyleAndMints.com (here)!
