Beads, Bangles, and Bracelets, Oh My!

Bracelets and bangles are my new favorite accessory! Shangby.com just recently added a bangle category (under jewelry) and I LOVE the colors that they have added. I may be biased because I am (almost) a University of Texas alumni but the new orange bangle from Annetta is HOT! Here are my favorite orange bracelets of the moment:
So cute! There is also an army green colored bangle that has been recently added for those who prefer more earthy tones:

As i said in my last post about Spring '08 necklace trends, big bead are IN, IN, IN. Check out this white turquoise bracelet:


I love this bracelet because it goes with everything and is super trendy. It retails for $140 in the US but you can buy it at Shangby.com for only $33!! Fabulous bracelet for an even more fabulous price!

Funky Pieces


This season is all about large beads, colorful necklaces, and big bold colors. Our designers at Shangby.com stay updated on the latest fashions in the US and around the globe. There are some great new necklaces that have been added to the site during recent live events. I love this season's long hippie-like necklaces. Here are a few of my favorite necklaces that have been recently added to our inventory:




Thse necklaces would look great with a long, light summery dress or skirt. Styles like these are all over the place and you can get them at Shangby.com for a fraction of what the stars are paying for them!

Mother's Day is Coming!

Mother's Day is just around the corner! I know for my friends and I, it is a holiday that is easily forgotten because of everything that is going on- classes are ending, exams are coming up, and graduation is just a few weeks away (for me yay!). Mother's Day is May 11th, less than two weeks from now. Check out Shangby.com for something special for your Moms! I got my mom some really pretty pieces myself:


She is going to LOVE the pink freshwater pearl earrings with rose quartz and the AA Long Pink pearl strand. The coral earrings and the Green freshwater pearl necklace were pieces she picked out herself. I like surprises so I got her the pink set and didn't tell her! She will be thrilled.

I recieved my Shangby Order today and my jewelry is fabulous as always! I LOVE the necklace I chose. It is so cute and purple is going to be a popular color this season! Here is a picture:










We have been adding some great new stuff for Spring lately. Linda's Pearl is our most recent addition to our great line of jewelry stores and she has some really funky pieces. Linda's is my favorite store because she like to mis pearls and stones and really create some unique pieces. I just recently bought a bracelet from her that gets compliments everytime I wear it:

Shopping Live for the 1st Time!

I called into ShangBy to shop at a live shopping event for the first time last week! Although I have watched many events on our site, I hadn't yet called in and shopped live myself. It was such a fun experience! I shopped with Claire during our special "Healing Powers" event at Pearls by Demi.

At first I was interested in shopping for some Jade jewelry, because Jade is supposed to bring you good monetary luck (and I sure do need some of that!) but after seeing some of the amethyst collection, I decided on an amethyst necklace and bracelet. Amethyst helps to prevent insomnia, which for me would be great because sometimes it gets hard to wind down after a busy day! Claire was so helpful and I loved negotiating my final price with the seller. I even got her to come down off of the price a few dollars!

It made me very excited about ShangBy's potential as a growing company. I am very motivated to get the word out to anyone and everyone about our live shopping events. Where else can you shop in a country across the world in your pajamas without ever leaving your house? I really am thrilled to be a part of our unique company.

Please feel free to watch one of our live events if you aren't ready to call in! Check out ShangBy.com at 9pm CST to watch or call in and shop live!
