HAUL: More Jewelmint! (exciting news for CANADIAN readers!!)

I have some more Jewelmint pieces to share with you!  I debated posting this, because I am quite disappointed with Jewelmint at the moment due to their Reserves sale fiasco (more about this at the end of the post, if you're interested).  But, I thought I would share anyway, because I do like the jewelry and have become quite addicted. O_O  I try not to buy without a promo code though, because I still feel like $29.99 is quite pricey and that I could probably find a similar looking piece of jewelry for cheaper at F21.  But I guess, also, JM's pieces are more well made than F21 ones...

Here's the Silver Swan bracelet I mentioned in my previous Jewelmint post:



These are the re-released/re-done version of the popular Golden Goose bracelet.  I have since also acquired the much-wanted Golden Goose bracelet. ^^  I love them both!  They both have a satin-y finish, instead of a super shiny one, which I love.  The fit is kind of loose as I'm able to slip it on without undoing the clasp, though I don't worry about it slipping off.  The only difference between the two is really just the color.  Both are definitely a great addition to any arm party! :)




Kind of loose...
I did the string/ribbon test, and my wrist measured 5 1/2 inches, if you were wondering.

My next piece is the Wonderland Earrings that I had on my wishlist!  I really liked these when I first saw them, but hesitated on buying them because I wasn't sure how it looked on a person.  The model pictures weren't that great!  But after seeing HollyAnnAeree wear them, they looked gorgeous and I decided to give in and buy them on Cyber Monday, when Jewelmint had $10 off everything.  Even though I haven't worn these out yet, I fell in love with them!  It's kind of Christmas-y to me, because the top looks like and oranment and then there's the bow that reminds me of a present, lol.  I think I might wear them for my family's Christmas shindig. :)




And for the exciting news for CANADIAN readers?  JEWELMINT IS NOW SHIPPING TO CANADA!! Shipping to Canada will start on December 26.  So if you're interested in Jewelmint and from Canada, YAY for you!! :D

UPDATED REVIEW: Jewelmint.com

The holiday weekend passed by too quickly!  I actually didn't get any swatching done, because I didn't want to take of my Thankgiving mani.  It's just so pretty!  I keep looking at my fingers, lol.

Instead, I'm back with an updated Jewelmint review/haul.  If you remember from my last review on Jewelmint, I didn't have such a good first experience!  I had some problems, and it was really hard reaching their customer service!  But, I decided I'd give them a second chance.  They had this pretty good deal on Halloween called the BewitchMint Mystery Bag.  It came with 2 random Jewelmint pieces and you also had a chance to get a number of other prizes, including the Golden Goose Bracelet (which I totally want!!) and other things.  It was $29.99 (price of 1 piece) and I used a code to get 25% off.  I ended up with 2 bracelets that I probably would not have ordered on my own (but I really like them now!) and a $10 off code (which I have now used...lol).  The bracelets I got in my Bewitchmint bag are the Silver Zip Bracelet and the Gatsby Bracelet.  I used the $10 off code to get the Silver Swan Bracelet, which is the Golden Goose Bracelet but in silver.  Love all the pieces I have!

But I did have a little problem again...This time it was quickly and easily fixed.  One of my bracelets didn't come in a box, so I emailed customer service.  I think this is a much easier/faster way at reaching them, instead of trying to get a hold of someone on the phone.  I got a quick reply and they sent me a new box.  So yeah, Jewelmint has gained me back as a customer!  And now, on to the pretties!

First up, the Silver Zip Bracelet:



I was a little hesitant about getting a bracelet from Jewelmint, because I have pretty small wrists.  It's hard to find bracelets that will fit, because most will slide off if my arm is just hanging at my side.  I can't wear any bangles from Forever 21 and have to buy the XS/S ones from H&M.  Usually I buy stretchy bracelets, because those fit pretty well.  But this Silver Zip Bracelet fits great!  This bracelet is great to add to simple casual outfits to jazz it up a bit.  I wish I took a picture of me wearing each of the bracelets, so I could show the fit.  Maybe I will, and then I'll update this post. :)

Next up is the Gatsby Bracelet:



So sparkly!  The Gatsby Bracelet also fits great, and I think this would be great to dress up outfits!  

I don't have pictures of the Silver Swan bracelet yet, but when I do take them, I'll be sure to post them up along with pictures of the Wonderland Earrings!  Yep!  I got them.  Decided to cave in and get them on Cyber Monday when Jewelmint had a coupon code for $10 off each piece you buy (no limit!).  Best deal I've seen lately!  (Their Black Friday deals were kinda crappy...)

Anyway, another reason I wanted to do this post and get it out today was because Jewelmint is doing another mystery bag thing.  This time they're calling it the OrnaMint Mystery Bag (for the holidays y'know).  You'll get 2 pieces for sure and it's the same price at $29.99.  Unfortunately, you can't use any codes this time.  They got smart about that, I guess, lol.  If you're interested, you can find it here.  It's going on until tomorrow, Nov. 30 at 11:59 PM PST or until they sell out.  They said they have 10,000 bags and it hasn't sold out yet, so you still have a chance to get one.  They ask for a ring size this time, so I'm guessing you'll probably get at least one ring.  [On a side note, if you haven't signed up for Jewelmint yet, please think about using my personal link to sign up.  (It'll give me a credit to use on the site.) Thanks! :)]  Let me know if you buy an OrnaMint bag~

Anyone else do any Cyber Monday shopping?  I know there were a lot of great deals out there on the interwebs.  I didn't take advantage of any other sales though.  Kinda wish I had, but I'm trying to save moneysss.  So I limited myself on the spending this weekend.  Not something that's easy to do around the holiday season~!  But anyway, until next time~ because I should be studying right now, for the test I'm having later today, hehe...

Wishlist Wednesdays (02)

Notice anything different?

I changed my layout a bit!  Did a little re-vamping, but nothing too big.  Unfortunately, disqus got messed somehow, when I changed the layout.  It's fixed now, but I lost a few comments here and there...I'm so sorry if I don't reply to your comment.  It just got lost...but please feel free to comment again! :)

Now onto my wishlist, FASHION EDITION!

I love dressing up and shopping, but I don't always have the funds to do so. :(  I wish  money grew on trees!!  But it doesn't, so most of the time, I end up just window shopping and adding things to my wishlist, especially now that we're changing seasons.  I did this recently on a trip to the mall.

Some of the things I've been wanting for the fall/winter season:

wrap bracelet from F21

I definitely want more accessories, particularly bracelets like this wrap bracelet.  I've been seeing a lot of "arm parties" happening in the blogging world, and would love to be able to join in.  Unfortunately, my wrists are a bit too skinny for bangles and bracelets usually sold at places like F21.  They just fall off...so these wrap bracelets are the answer to my problem! :D  Also, any stretchy bracelets work too.  And I'm glad H&M has XS/S bracelets, cuz those work too.  Can't wait to have my own arm party!! :)

tan oxford booties from F21

I have been wanting oxford booties for the longest time!  In this specific color range too!  I have several black ankle boots and booties, but not in other colors, so I'm looking to branch out.  And, I just feel like these oxford booties would look great with fall outfits!

I'm also lemming some dark brown knee high boots and more scarves!  I love scarves! :D

Anything you're lemming for this fall/winter season?
