Decorate Yourself with Awesome and Cheap Fashion Jewelry from Everyday Icing + a Giveaway

by Lindsay Ballard on May 3, 2013 62 Comments

This giveaway is sponsored by Everyday Icing.

Many, many moons ago when I started this blog, I met a sweet friend named Kimba who blogged at A Soft Place to Land.  She was sweet, funny, creative and REAL.  ASPTL was literally one of the first blogs I’d check out each morning in my feed reader.  It was such a delight.

Times change, family needs change and sometimes our lives change.  Kimba took a week off of blogging to catch up on some things, and then she just didn’t come back.  As sad as I was for her to disappear, I really respected her decision to walk away from a successful blog to focus on the other things in her life.

Well, Kimba is back, y’all!  Imagine the “SQUEEEs!” that erupted when I saw her name in my inbox. She’s not blogging anymore, though.  Instead, she’s started Everyday Icing, which is a an accessory auction on Facebook.  Each Monday, about 30 items are posted on the Everyday Icing FB page, and they are all yummy, designer knock-off pieces at very non-designer prices – we’re talking mostly under $20, folks.

To let me get my hands dirty (so to speak), Kimba sent me a few pieces that they were about to have up for auction.  Y’all.  These things are just right up my accessory alley.  They are light weight and perfect for when you don’t want to spend big bucks on a trend.

I’ve long had a personal aversion to the bathroom lights that the builder installed above the mirrors in our bathrooms.  For starters, they are very traditionally styled with white frosted glass shades. Interesting light fixtures are one of my favorite parts of a room, so these just really bum me out.  Plus, they cast the light downward, so all I see are bags under my eyes when I look in the mirror.  Obviously, these  fixtures’ days are numbered.

I’m working on redoing my kids’ shared bathroom right now, so I set out to replace one of these builders grade bathroom lights.  Turns out, I actually dislike most reasonably priced vanity fixtures that are available!  Most of them are way too traditional for my taste (and again with the downlight that ages me 20 years each time I look in the mirror).
