These Sterling Silver Fleur-de-lis Earrings with Amethyst by John S. Brana has 13 carats of faceted amethyst , the birth stone for the month of February. The perfect gift for yourself if you were born in that month.

Not born in February? That’s okay. We’re not exclusively offering these for February babies. The iridescent purple in these stones will for sure make them baby browns pop with a little more color, so spoil yourself a little.

My feet sometimes hate me for the heels I squish them into in my failed efforts to look feminine. If your feet and my feet are in agreement, these Silver Foldable Ballet Flats with Carrying Case by CitySlips will be bomb. It comes with a tote-sized travel bag, so you can switch out your killer heels for these comfy flats. Your feet will melt into the cushioned sole as it abuses the comfort of the elastic backing.

Yum.

My best friend and I always talk about how when we grow up and we fail at everything we set out to do, our back up plan is to open a boutique together. We got everything figured out. She’s going to take care of the business/managerial aspect of things, and I’ll be handling the customers and the artistic side of things. We may or may not live in a pretty sweet apartment above it, but pretty much, we’re going to tear it up.

The G.L.A.M. girls.

This is what G.L.A.M. is all about it. Based in Hawaii, four college girlfriends teamed up to combine their business and jewelry skills to provide jewelry made from quality materials inspired by the eclectic culture of the Islands. Each piece is made with the notion that each girl should only wear what is most genuine.

For this week’s TGIFREE giveaway, we bring you two of Gen, Lisa, Amanda and Michelle’s beautiful creations that definitely reflect G.L.A.M.’s motto of “Give Love Aspire Motivate.”

The first is the Jessica. Hanging from thin gold twisted into a square spiral is a periwinkle-purple gem. It changes colors in the light, much like an ocean might on a clear day.

G.L.A.M. "Jessica" earrings.

The Joelle has two fine diamond outlines dangling daintily over each other. The silver and gold tones shine and contrast with the slightest movement. I kind of liken them to pretty wind chimes you might see on someone’s back porch.

I like bags that can serve multiple purposes. Like this Hello Kitty Small Red Patent Embossed Bag!

It’s made of patent PVC with embossed HK detail and has dual carrying handles. The bag is accented with silver toned hardware, zippered closure, and the signature HK dustbag and a Bow ID tag. The interior has two open pockets, and one zippered pocket. It is approximately 15 by11.5 by 7 inches.

Perfect for carrying all your girlie accessories.  And other essentials, such as a laptop, a laptop charger, an extra-large water bottle, and maybe even a pair of foldable ballet flat.

This badgirl purse is worth your $$.

I love it when designers take something feminine and make it edgy. The finished product tends to have a lot more personality, and the combined elements of the two opposites create a lot of drama.

Made of 100 percent nylon, this Lace Crochet Tank in Grey by IZESX does just that. Though only a racerback tank, the sheer crochet lace makes it more than just a top and gives it a lot of interesting texture. This boyish, scrubby top has now been transformed into a sexy top for going out with the girls.

Me likey.

I don’t know about you, but I think this is a pretty dope ring. For those of you who want to take your outfits to the next level with edgier accessories, the Dome Two-Finger Ring in Silver by IZESX is for you. It makes a subtle but bold statement. Plus, no sleazy guy will want to mess with you once they take a look at this bad boy resting on your knuckles.

Available in sizes 6/7 and 7/8.

I have a lot of crap on my desk, and if I had this Square Map Box, my life would be easier. It’s handmade from white oak veneer MDF with a peek-a-boo lid. It comes in natural, white, aqua, orange-red or yellow, so you can personalize it to your room. Not only is it good for storage, but it would be handy for gift-wrapping presents for loved ones. If you lack the desire to give anyone gifts, you can always set it out on your coffee table as a nice decorative touch.

Measures 4.6 by 2.25 inches.

As summer vacation slowly draws to a close, make one last ditch effort to hold on to that summer lovin’ feeling. Before going back to school or back to work, don’t hang out by the pool soaking in prematurely aging UV rays or getting one last burn. Instead, hang out at the pool with a Finis Lap Track.

It’s a clever little gadget. The Lap Track is an underwater lap counter and timer that counts the number of laps you swim, how fast you swim each lap, your total time, and the number of calories burned. It comes with memory recall, is able to record up to 50 laps, and can calculate a series of averages. (It’s smarter than most people.)

I’ve always wondered how fast I go when I swim, especially since I feel like I barely go anywhere until my head hits the wall.

If anything, the button pushing will make you feel like an Olympic swimmer. And that’s pretty cool.

There’s still Labor Day — summer’s last hurrah — so it’s not too late! Comment to this post by August 25, 11:59 pm, and we’ll pick one lucky winner. Retweet for an additional entry, and remember, you must have a U.S. mailing address to win! Good luck!

What do you get when you cross a red hat and a banana?

Before I tell you that, I have to tell you that the “Tammy” off shoulder dress in teal by VAVA by Joy Han is an absolutely darling vintage dress. It has the romantic feel of a loose fitting tunic. Throw on a pair of boots, a couple of rust colored bangles, maybe a belt, and you’re all set. You can’t go wrong with this. You can dress it up, dress it down, wear ‘em with jeans or leggings. Whatever bounces your ball. A timeless, classy piece. Add it to your wardrobe for sure.

And the answer to my riddle is?

I don’t know.

I just thought a banana wearing a red hat was funny.

This Ladder necklace is one of Hung’s may fine designs. Made of bamboo with gold-filled hardware, it is approximately 16 inches long but hangs like an-18 inch chain. The ladder pendants hanging from it almost look like chain links and give it a nice urban feel. A nice twist to your usual fringe necklace.
