Sew Delish Stella Ring Giveaway


Lovely Nancy from Sooo LA has kindly teamed
up with me to do this lovely giveaway!
Thanks so much girl,you're very sweet.

She has beautiful style and also runs her own etsy store,Sew Delish.
Its filled with beautiful rings and lots more installed.
Get to know her more through this interview.
Thereafter,how to enter for this giveaway to win
yourself the Stella Ring!

1.A short introduction on yourself.
My name is Nancy Andrade and I am a 24 year old California Girl. I love venturing off in the world of fashion and style. I went to school for broadcast journalism but am currently working in the fashion industry. I LOVE to craft, thrift, and take many many pictures. I recently started my own little shop on Etsy. The name is Sew Delish! and there you can find tons of cute little finds and soon you will also find clothing pieces and crafts made by yours truly.

3.Do you have an absolute favorite piece in your closet now?
Right now, I have soooo many favorite pieces in my closet, but if I had to pick only one, I would say it's my grey marching band inspired jacket! I simply adore it. I love the way it can be dressed up with a cute LBD or kept simple with some tights - cotton, leather, studded, you name it, it is sooo versatile and I love it!!!

4.Can you describe your process for selecting items for your store?
Picking stuff out for my store can sometimes be a challenge. Living in Los Angeles, I always find so much inspiration, whether it be walking down fashion district, fabric district, sunset strip, Hollywood, browsing on the gazillion magazines that are available here, or even just people watching! Everyday I get so many ideas popping in my head and I jot them down on my little notebook, then on the weekend I hit up my favorite supply stores in L.A. and get to work. Basically I select the items that I know I would love to wear and other people can add to their collection and design around that.

5.What is your own personal style like?
I would say my personal style is very laid back. I am definitely a big fan of skinny jeans and oversized racer back tanks with cute pumps/stilettos. I do tend to change my style very often though. I am currently still loving the rocker chic vibe. I love love love, biker boots, moto jackets, chunky chains, and big dark jewelry. I don't think I could ever define my style as it is constantly changing, but one thing I can say is that I always go for what I feel good in. :)

6.Besides running an online store, what else takes up your time?
I do alot of photography. I AM OBSESSED with taking pictures. I do both digital and film and as some of you might now, developing film is no easy task and definitely takes up a lot of time, but it's something I love. I also do my own documentary films. I went to school and got my B.A. in broadcast journalism so I work on my own films now and then. I also like to sew! many of the items in my closet are DIY projects!!! :)

7.Where do you gather your inspiration?
My inspiration comes from many places. I love to browse through magazines and pick out the best items that would compliment what I already have. I also like to look at fellow bloggers pages and can really get tons of inspiration there. Since I work in the fashion industry, I usually am exposed to many resources there as well. My favorite source of inspiration however, comes from you, the readers! I love what blogging and bloggers can do. Many of you have such great style and are very inspiring to me! :)

8.Any style advice that you would like to share?
Definitely to work with what you have. I have noticed that many times I overlook some great pieces that are already in my closet and can really add the perfect touch to any outfit. Thrifting is also another great way to vamp up your closet and your style (and its wallet friendly!)

One lucky reader will be winning the gorgeous Stella Ring,as shown below.

Such a great giveaway! Wow! Well this http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29981255 ring is my favorite because I LOVE BUTTONS. I actually switch out my buttons on any jacket I buy so they can be different than the rest. A button is so unique and different and can tell a story... similiar to a picture. Like this beautiful ring I picked out as my favorite. Such talent. Thanks for this giveaway!
