Valentine's Giveaway Winner!

Thank you for sharing these funny and personal moments with me! Before revealing the winners, I wanted to share just some of the stories you wrote me. Let me know which one you responded to.

~A guy went to kiss me on the chin & my huge zit popped right as he did! *gross*

~this isn't a funny embarrassing love moment, but more of a ugh...i hate you because you embarrassed me one. back in 9th grade this boy i liked told me he didn't like me by telling me so in my yearbook! everybody saw it. so now every time i pull out my yearbook, i am reminded. ugh...boys!

~I have a friend who had a crush over this guy and finaly after like two years she decided to text him about it. So she texts him 'I like you blah blah' and waits a bit, and then she got a text back: 'who is this?'

~my boyfriend was really wild when i met him compared to me.so one day while at school i was drinking tea and he decided that he would slide on the table and so he did and went straight into my tea..i was covered in tea lol, it made it look like i wet my pants luckily the tea wasn't hot lol .

~At a Halloween party I spotted a cute guy who kept smiling and looking at me.  Since he was cute I flirted and smiled back as well.  Later on in the night he came up to me and said " I like your skirt it's so cute, I think I'm going to wear something like that next year".  DOH!

~There was this one time when me and my bf were in my backyard sitting on the hammock and just talking about random stuff. That day was the day he told me "he was in love with me" (awwwww <3) of course i wasn't ready to tell him "i was in love with him" anyways, it was time for him to go and we just hugged for a a really long time, you know when you just hold each other FOREVER.... as we were going to give a kiss good bye, The sprinkler system went off and we were soak and wet! started screaming and ran!It was soo embarrasing... but a funny moment i'll always remember =)

~My ex bf made a chocolate heart for me once. It was SOOO gross. It looked like poop and tasted awful because he had tried to melt regular chocolate and form it into a heart. He made me eat it and I did because I felt guilty not accepting his gift. Afterward I realized it was because he had put a gift on the inside and I ended up biting into it, hurting myself... YUCK!!

~My one and only valentines day date was when my bf and i were going to go to the movies for valentines day.  Well I locked my keys in the car and had to get AAA to get them.  Was late for the movie so went to dinner instead and we both forgot our credit cards so he had to walk to the closest band with his atm card.  It was a really bad valentines day, but it was a funny one.

~Uhm...Probably when I just randomly kissed this very random dude in some also random bar xD He was pretty ugly and annoying too...I'm never going to do that again lol xD

~I once got caught making out in the back of my bf's car in the dark by cops :( hehe I WAS 16 at the time. Naughty!!

~I was on a dinner date when I had my monthly period.  It stained my skirt so I had trouble hiding it and walking around.  After the meals, I asked the guy to take me home.

~My ex-boyfriend split up from me the day before valentines day but it must of been too late for him to cancel the red roses he'd ordered to my office.  So many people kept coming up to me telling me how sweet he was and how lucky I was and I just burst into tears!  Embarassing and sad :(

Now I guess you want to hear my story right??
There's not much going on in my love department, but there was that one time...
So I decided to break up with this guy, and I met him outside of a coffee shop on the same street of where I worked to do so. It was a pretty sad time because he did not see it coming. I felt really bad for him so we just kinda stood on the sidewalk talking. Then my boss drives by and pulls up right in front of us, gets out and decides to take a photo of us. He had never seen my boyfriend before so he was all excited (and he is a photographer). I'm emitting angry looks and thoughts so my boss gets the message and drives away. OMG, so I have a breakup photo, and it's our only photo together. I wonder what happened to him. If you're reading this e-mail me! lol!

Who R U? he asked Alice

The long awaited Alice In Wonderland Necklace!
This is inspired by the scene where Alice meets the caterpillar. Smoking caterpillars are creepy no doubt, but this necklace is pretty!

Alice In Wonderland Necklace - $26
Antique gold plated mushroom charm, aquamarine heart to match Alice's dress, and white pearl to match her apron. 16" or 18" chain in 14k gold-filled. [1 only]

[silver version pic coming later today!!]
Alice in Wonderland Necklace in Silver - $25
Antique silver plated mushroom charm, aquamarine heart with a french bail, and a white pearl wire wrapped in sterling silver. 16" or 18" chain in sterling silver. [1 only]

Alice Earrings in Gold - $16
Inspired by the bows in Alice's wardrobe, these cute dangly bow earrings! Featuring small Swarovski crystal hearts in aquamarine and white pearls. 14kt gold-filled ear wires. [only one] for now...

If you want these in silver I'm just waiting on the hearts to come in. Let me know down below!

By the way, I lowered the price of the last week's golden hearts earrings. Check it out in my store.

Did the caterpillar creep you out?

Does this creep you out? This buggar was in my garden!!

There's so much more that can be done! White Rabbit, Queen of hearts! Alice charm bracelet? No promises, but I value your input! I do however have a a bronze Alice key necklace coming next week!! Follow me on twitter for sneak peeks!

Does anyone remember seeing this version of Alice? I just remember the CREEPY bunny and the baby turned pig. I don't actually recognize a lot of the other clips but something about that bunny is so familiar.

I'm excited about the new Alice movie coming out! My only concern it will be more about Johnny than Alice. That tends to happen in all the movies he's in. Ahem, Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I think he butchered the movie. He looked like a creepy ass child molester. You just can't replace Gene Wilder. I love love love him! I'm not a Johnny hater, I just think he's overrated. He's been pulling out the same character since Edward Scissorhands.

Divine Angel Wing Earrings

It's been a really long time since I've done some earrings, so I'm finally posting my Angel Wing Earrings! I was inspired by xteeener to make these after I saw her wear plain ones in her video. She's my favorite youtube makeup guru! I love her channel because she's real, and her looks are very wearable. She also does reviews, hair, fashion, vlogs, and more. Check her out if you haven't. But I'm 100% sure you have! Let me know down below who your #1 makeup guru is.

Three new colors you don't see on my blog much, Sapphire, Fuchsia, and Blue Zircon. These are saturated jewel tones. I was torn between these colors and tanzanite and jet black. I love the rocker look of it.

And yes, I'm SURE you've seen bows and hearts everywhere, but while it's common, it's still cute right? I know my friend Lisa has made some black ones with tails in the past. Her craftsmanship is top-notch!

I like to wear these when I'm in a hurry, just like the tweet tweets.

What's coming? Valentine's Day!! I've decided to do a short-run giveaway that I'll be posting on Sat/Sun in honor of Valentine's Day. The prizes will include a little candy, a little Lush, and of course some jewelry!! It makes the perfect gift for V-day (I'd like to think so!).

As usual, you can check my store for up to date item availability. Of course, many more items than this are back in stock- I just wanted to share the popular ones. There is a new stock feature I'm testing out too. It tells you the availability of each item on each page.

One of my goals this year is to improve the layout of my official shop with new banners and color schemes. Second is to set up a Fan Page on Facebook. (giveaway when I do this?) Third is to try to open an etsy shop with pieces that also appeal to people in their late 20s to early 40s. Meaning more gold and more luxe jewelry.

Sorry I'm on repeat this week due to all the new TV shows coming back. New stuff next week! I have so many supplies like lockets and keys...

P.S. Feel free to send me hot pics of yourself anytime! lol! just make sure you're wearing some Julu. :)

Fly me to the moon little birdie

Who out there loves twitter? If you follow me you know I abuse it and "chat" on there when it's supposed to be "micro-blogging." I find myself exceeding the 140 character limit too often, and that's a sign I'm not using it properly. Sorry if I spam yours. Follow me anyways? :þ

This week I will be revisiting some favorites that are back in stock.

Those earrings look like they're floating right? So awesome! I bought a clear acrylic earring rack that makes it easier to take pics with. I was previously sporting an earring rack I made out of thin wooden dowels. Maybe one day I'll post a pic of them both if you're nosey.

Lizzy Earrings - $16

Is anyone else a HUGE fan of A&E's 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice? It's one of my favorite things to watch. It started my love affair with Colin Firth. Did you like how I included a mug of him above? I loved it so much I bought the "making of" book. haha! I also LOVE the one in 2005 with Keira Knightly. It's so friggin romantic, funny, and just plain GOOD. I like to watch that one too because it's a nice condensed version.

A clearer look at these earrings. Also available in 14k gold-filled for $17.50 by custom order.

Hello, my name is Stephanie, and I'm addicted to British period films/ novel adaptations.

edit-
If you're curious about an Asian with a Texas accent, check out my favorite Texan Guru, another Stephanie- Stephienese
She just posted a cute and funny story about how she met her boyfriend. Later y'all!

Guys can be romantic

A guy friend that I've known since elementary school called me up and asked if I could make special earrings for his girlfriend. Of course I was excited to oblige! I think it's so cute that his girlfriend went to our jr high and high school, but they didn't talk that much and NOW after college they are dating! So beware, you never know you could still end up with that guy who sat behind you in pre-cal!

Lexie Earrings
She's a lucky girl, and he's a good old friend- so I had to make these earrings EXTRA special! I have not posted chandelier earrings on this blog before, but I used to make them for myself back in the day. I was obsessed with chandelier earrings, that's all I would wear! He was envisioning something like this. Imagine a tall red head with long red hair! He wanted to use this blue 1) because it would look good with her hair and 2) it needed to match a necklace from the Swarovski store in Germany he bought!

Gunmetal and Capri Blue swarovski makes a great combo. I love all the ideas my friends suggest! These earrings are one-of-a-kind in the gunmetal finish. I do have the ability to make ONE pair in silver though. This was kinda pricey so e-mail if you want something like this.

Teddy Bear Love Necklace - $24
For those Teddy Bear lovers out there. I've gotten lots of requests for teddy bears, so here it is! It's an antique silver charm paired with a Light Rose AB medium heart on a sterling silver chain in 16" or 18". I think it's so cute, it has stitching details and a little heart on it's front. Only Two available.

Introducing my new LE colors for medium hearts this year. These colors are limited to my supply, which is only 2 per color. Black Diamond AB is my all-time favorite Swarovski color. I glad to finally have it in a medium heart size!

not pictured is Siam AB (sparkling red)

Happy New Year!! 2 more years til the end of the world! :)

Hurry FREE SHIPPING ends Jan 5th!! code: freeship

That gleam in your eyes is so familiar

I hoping these can replace the Filigree Hearts LE Earrings that I no longer offer. They were limited, so three of you lovely ladies are very lucky. I'm jealous I didn't keep a pair for myself.

Aurora's Kiss Earrings - $17
Antique Silver heart-shaped beads with a scroll design attached to gleaming Swarovski beads in fuchsia on sterling ear wires. Only one.

Originally, I wanted to make this in gold and fuchsia, but I think most people like silver jewelry. In the future I may use gold hearts.

The curly scroll design in the heart can be seen in the curtains... wow, I did not plan this! This is my 2nd favorite Disney princess movie! What's your favorite Disney movie?

Aurora's Kiss Necklace - $18
This swarovski bead is almost in the shape of Princess Aurora's Lips. I almost named this Aurora's Lips, but I thought that was kinda weird. Anyhow... Fuchsia is a gorgeous pop of color on your neck. Sterling Silver chain. Still on the wave of last post's star and donut necklaces! Only one.

Save when you order together. E-mail me for details.

Now a funny pic...

OMG, this is from 7th grade! 10+ years ago! I was going through a really bad Ugly Betty phase. Thick fringe, big glasses, braces, and in need of a good bra! hahaha!

Food for Hungry Lumas

Hello hungry Lumas! I've got some tasty star bits for you!

I love Mario Galaxy! I'm so excited for Christmas to come because my brother got me the New Super Mario Bros. eeek! I can't wait to rip it open! Here are two gamer inspired necklaces.

Star Bit Necklace in Light Sapphire- Intro price of $15
A large (12mm) swarovski crystal star in light sapphire strung on a sterling silver chain. (16") Only one.

Star Bit Necklace in Crystal AB- Intro price of $15
A large (12mm) swarovski crystal star in crystal ab strung on a sterling silver chain. (16") Only one.

I really wanted to make some affordable sterling necklaces for those of you tight on cash who still want a little Julu. :)

These are great for layering with other necklaces or with other star bit necklaces in a different length. Let me know if you want something like that!

While I was taking these pictures I was imagining NEW necklaces, hehe. How about THREE stars on one strand? Three big stars! Or 2 small stars and 1 big star in the middle? I will be making a couple of these for next year. Any color requests? Leave in the comments below!

I think Star Bits are based off of Kompeitō, a Japanese candy. I haven't tried these, but I've seen them at the market. FYI, Star Bits are the things you collect in the Mario Galaxy game.

Remember These? These donuts inspired my star necklaces.

Honey Glazed Donut - $17 (Sold Out)
Looks simple, but this large Golden Shadow oval crystal looks very beautiful on your neck. 16" or 18" 14K Gold-Filled chain. 12mm swarovski crystal.

Donut with Sprinkles - $17 (1 left!)

Custom Piece and Christmas Bonus

Hi gals! I want to share you with a custom necklace I just completed! This is for another Stephanie at Beauty is Not Caused. Check out her blog too; she's got videos! I really love doing custom jewelry work. Especially when it's guys trying to pick something for their girlfriends. I think it's so sweet and romantic!

Belle's Dream Necklace - $40
I had no idea how gorgeous these colors look together! I am planning to do more pieces with this color scheme. A medium Deep Sea Blue heart with a 22k gold-vermeil leaf bail snuggled next to a medium Light Topaz heart with its own 22k gold-vermeil bail hang on a 14k gold-filled chain. If you want one like this, e-mail me! It's not listed in my storefront.

See the yellow? Like Belle's Dress from Beauty and the Beast! aww!

Jewelry Lesson
What is vermeil? Vermeil is gold plated over sterling silver! Gold-filled has gold bonded and will not rub off. It's safe for people with sensitive skin, and it should last as long as solid 14k gold jewelry.

Now for a little blast from the past. I took new photos of these earrings from my first line. Order either of these two and get a Christmas bonus!

Princess in Waiting - $17, Sale $15
Light Amythyst AB, Tanzanite, and Golden Shadow round crystal beads separated by crystal rhinestone rondelles. Hanging on sterling silver lever back earrings.

Blue Capri Rounds - $17, Sale $15
Beautifully vibrant Capri Blue round crystal beads linked with cordinating colors by sterling silver balls. Capri Blue, Light Sapphire, Indian Sapphire

What is the Christmas bonus? A few full-sized and sample makeup products in a pouch! ;) Order by Christmas! What a hot deal?! Free shipping and makeup extras? Yes to that!

Incase you were wondering, this is the most popular combination of crane and bead! Silver with a Rosaline Pearl! So pretty. I have only ONE left! I won't have anymore until later next year. Your choice of bead of course!

How is your holiday going? Got the shopping done? I've been baking lots of cookies lately. 3 batches so far this season. That's a record!

Little Crown Studs - $12
I got my hands on these cute little cubic zirconia crown studs! So cute, size reference below! They're part of my Korean fashion imports. I tried making my own crown studs before, but these are much better!

They come in a special clam shell case shaped like a crystal. :)

New colors for my Crane Necklace! The newest 4 colors are on the last row. Alabaster Rose, Alabaster Mint, Sapphire AB. Purple Velvet isn't new, just now round. You may notice that I have taken some colors out as well. The Alabasters have a nice soft pretty look. They're not bling, they're opaque.

I only have a few of these cranes left, and 1-2 of each bead color.


Plus! See the crane necklace in gold and pacific opal ab on the sweet and gorgeous Miss Erica! Hair tutorials are really big right now, check hers out please!! :)

Stay tuned for a new Tree Necklace next time! Stay Warm!
