Follower!
I would wear w/ a boatneck top, or my collarless linen jacket for a springy, retro look!
I would wear this with a brown t-shirt and jeans. Simple!
huffychic@gmail.com
I'd also wear them with a plain top/tshirt and a ladylike skirt!
Those are some beautiful necklaces - kind of like the statement necklaces that are popular now, but way more laidback and wearable.
I'm a follower! I think those necklaces would work great with a strapless dress but I don't think I could rock the strapless. It'd be a great way to dress up a simple tee and skirt combo though!
such beautiful pieces.

I like the fall floral necklace the most (fall and winter are my favorite seasons) - I think I would wear it with a solid color scoopneck tee to really show it off, or maybe with a printed dress for a really statement outfit.

I think I'd play off the soft, feminine styling of the necklace and wear it over a boat-neck black shirt, with either a dark skirt and tights or sleek trousers. Maybe add a chunky bracelet or fab shoes to add another pop of color. Very sleek. :o)
Love the soft colours. I'm a follower.
Gorgeous necklace! I am a follower :)
I'm a follower! So awesome.
I would probably wear the necklace with a simple solid top (like black turtlenect), dark jeans and some boots. Gotta keep wearing the boots before the weather gets warmer!
I'm a follower! :)
oh, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE these necklaces. I'm already picturing the colored one with the outfit I wore this past monday with the ivory shirt and the high waisted denim skirt....
or... I could wear it with a brown tee and jeans
or with a lightweight tank in the summer. It's really such a versatile piece!!! So many possibilities! :)
I'm a follower! So awesome.
Oh my gosh, I love this!! I would wear it with...um, EVERYTHING?? well, maybe more often with my favorite outfit of the moment, a modern take on Audrey Hepburn's black turtleneck/capri look from "Funny Face".
Ooooooh, I'm a follower. I hope to win.
It's still the end of summer in Australia and I have a lovely linen dress that would really do well with this. Cheers.
I would wear the necklace with a black dress to a certain special occasion coming up! Thanks for holding this contest! I've been a follower for a while now, and I love your style.
What beautiful necklaces! I might just have to buy one! I would wear the white one with a crisp button down shirt with boyfriend jeans rolled up. I'm so ready for spring, can you tell?
I would love to wear the spring bouquet one with a pastel T, khaki jacket, patterned skirt and T-straps. Oh spring, get here soon!
I'm a follower. I LOVE the spring bouquet yo yo necklace, and honestly everything else. Beautiful shop.
And, I would wear the necklace with the blue dress from Rodarte for Target, white tights and oxfords :)
You know I follow you! :o)What a cute necklace, and I love the onyx earrings!
I just ordered a high waisted skirt for warmer weather, and a strapless polka dot dress, and I think both of those need one of these necklaces :o)
These are amazing necklaces! I love the fabrics used.
And I'd wear them over a grey marl jersey t paired with some charcoal grey carrot top trousers.
What pretty necklaces! I love the fall one. I would wear it in the springtime though, with my favorite brown sundress. I would probably put a cardigan over it for work, and then let the necklace be the SOLE statement after work. :)
oh my god!!! i love those pieces! and i love your blog!

for my extra chance: I would wear these beauties against a dark v-neck blouse, with my white skinny jeans and black boots. It would bring spring to my cold, cold treks across campus :)

holy cute what a super sweet give away! really really cute! Amy recently had one to give away on her blog and I made lots of sad faces to see it go to another home! Here's my chance again!
how would I wear it? With everything! My best friend is getting married this spring and this would be the most perfect statment piece! Its perfect!
Um, yes please! These necklaces are GORGEOUS, and her earrings are beautiful as well.
Loyal follower here :)
I haven't experimented much with the bib necklace (these kinda qualify, yeah?), but I want to! I would love to pair the more colorful one over a plain white tee and with jeans... adding a little girly to an otherwise basic ensemble.
so pretty! you're the first blog i'm following that isn't a joke blog from my friends!
i'm a new follower! i'd wear those necklaces over a plain t-shirt, jeans, and some cute shoes.
They're adorable! Crossing my fingers I win! I'm a follower.
I'd wear one with boyfriend jeans and a simple tee or tank to dress it up.
How lovely! I'm already a follower!
Love them all! I'd wear with a loose white v-neck tee and a belted skirt or skinny jeans.
The necklace is such a statement on its own that I'd wear it now with a pair of wideleg trousers and a plain l/s tee or a cami/cardigan. And I'd wear it in the summer with a simple sundress.
Can I please marry this white necklace?
...heck, I'd wear it with a wedding dress! Honestly. So springy and beautiful.
I LOVE these necklaces! Gorgeous!
I would wear them with a cashmere v-neck sweater dress.

How adorable! I follow on Google Reader. Can international readers enter?
I'd wear with a lacy cami and my favourite fitted v-neck cardi. It's just the kind of outfit that needs a big statement necklace!
OMG GORGEOUS necklaces!!!
I sub to you in Google Reader...does that count?
I'd wear it with a tank and swingy cardi, and jeans tucked into knee-high boots :-)
I follow!
Love these necklaces!
I would wear the first necklace with a neutral colored, strapless dress and belt it. I would also wear some cute sandals and a straw fedora. Perfect for summer.

I follow this blog. :) And those necklaces are pretty.
How beautiful! I really hope I win. =] I'm a follower.
I would wear the all white one with a black shirt so the colors would contrast and because I LOVE black/white together.
awww these necklaces are just gorgeous. i'm definitely a follower :)
i'd probably wear mine with a striped button down shirt and a jeans for a more casual look. maybe add a gray cardigan for some extra warmth.
I'm a recent follower (just a few short weeks ago, I think)! These necklaces are lovely; thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is the "fall floral" necklace, and I think I would pair that against a neutral canvas (a white or grey shirt), so it would become the focal point, along with some black slacks. This would definitely liven up my work attire - with a pop!
Ooh, I love this!

Ooh!
I would probably wear it to dress up a simple outfit—and I've got tons of those. :)
Love this!! The spring bouquet necklace is so cheerful. I'm a follower =)
stepharoo [at] gmail [dot] com
I would wear this with a light pink top, and a very full skirt. Probably my brown one with a cream skirt underneath to add some volume. I would let the necklace stand out on its own, of course =) I'd of course have big heeled strappy sandals to go with!
And a cream cardi if there is a breeze, lol
I'm a follower. Those necklaces are so beautiful and unique!

I'd pick the spring bouquet yo yo necklace for sure and use it to make some of my wardrobe basics a little more interesting!
xfoxglove@gmail.com
My favorite is the spring bouquet necklace. I like your mention of a strapless dress but I don't really do strapless. I think I would go for a low-cut top with a wide neck and a springy, patterned skirt.
So cute! I follow through Google Reader.
I already own the spring bouquet necklace and love it, but would love to win the winter necklace and pair it with a comfy tee, cardigan and skinny jeans of course!
I follow you on Google Reader. Both of these are gorgeous necklaces.
Hmm...I think I would wear the spring bouquet necklace against a navy tank top, pair with a cream skirt, and belted. With sandals! A very spring outfit indeed.
I just found your blog and added you to my favorites straight away. As a fellow grad student I can relate to your style ;) Love the necklace!
I would wear the top necklace with a black pencil skirt, a white t-shirt, and a striped blazer with floral cuffs. And red peeptoes!
I'm a follower and would obviously love one of the lose o-so-beautiful and fun necklaces!
I would wear the top necklace with my favorite old spring skirt (light green and white) and a white v-neck t. or! I would give it to my darling little (ok, she's taller than me) sister because its her birthday next week. She would probably wear it with skinny jeans, tall brown boots, and a cap sleeve turtleneck, cardigan optional depending on the weather.
I'm a follower - I love everything in her shop, its gorgeous! I think the necklaces are my favorite though!
And I would wear this with a scoop neck tank, a skinny belt and some dark jeans. And sunglasses!! TO BRUNCH. Can you tell I'm ready for summer?
I love the spring bouquet necklace in her shop. I confess to you that in the unlikely event that I don't win the giveaway, I'll probably buy it myself. =)
Here's how I'd style the spring bouquet necklace: wear it with a loose-fitting tee or button-up shirt, denim shorts, sandals, and a fedora. Perfect get-up for the farmer's market (sigh ... I am longing for spring and summer).
Oh I love this!! So Anthropologie and perfect for the Spring!
Wow, a huge amount of comments! Good stuff. I would wear the necklace with jeans, a plain t, and tough black leather jacket and boots. I'm trying to work more with the feminine/tough combo, instead of my tendency to go all feminine.
These look similar to the fabric necklaces my mom used to wear (except wayyyy cooler), so I'm thinking I would wear it with a chambray shirt, high-waisted jeans and platform espadrilles.
Okay, actually I'm not sure if I could pull of that look without laughing at myself all day. But I do have a periwinkle and white striped tank, white jeans and gold t-strap stilletos that are screaming for one of the colored necklaces.
I love the spring bouquet necklace! And I follow your blog on Google reader!
Also.. I would wear the spring bouquet necklace with a peachy silk top I got from J.Crew, and then toughen it up with dark skinny jeans, a long cream-colored cardi, and leather sandals (in the warmer months!)
I'm excited to be a new follower of your blog!
I'm an old friend of Elena's (caffeinerd) and found your blog through hers. I love your sense of style and I'm looking forward to keeping up with your posts.
I would wear the necklace with a simple top and one of my new favorite "bling button cardigans" from J. Crew (which I have in three gorgeous colors).
Thanks for introducing us to oliveanda's etsy shop. Her jewelry is beautiful.
I follow through Google Reader as well. These necklaces are so cute!
I would wear the white necklace with a gray and blue-patterned twofer dress that I own or maybe black tank top and flowery skirt. I love the idea of contrasting the white with a busy pattern, enhancing the effect of both.
would love to win, heather is the cutest ever!
they're beautiful!
i love your blog, i have been following it religiously and always get inspired! keep up the good work! :-)
i would wear this over a simple tank with wide leg trousers and flats...dreaming of spring weather of course!
Both necklaces are so beautiful. And I'm already a follower.

boon1211@gmail.com
This site was indeed a dose of beautiful things! I'll be tempted to buy something if I don't win :-)
I adore the fall floral yo-yo necklace, and would wear it to give some excitement to a fall & winter staple outfit of mine - cream-colored cami, khaki cord skirt, and brown cardigan.
i might end up buying one if i don't win. they are so ador!
juliamarisa@aol.com
i especially love the first one and would probably have to search out an easy jersey dress in the perfect deep purple to throw it on over. add some cream huaraches and voila! or maybe a deep purple v neck and a high waisted circle skirt in a light yellow and olive calico. can you tell i'm craving spring?
for some reason I reread my entry, and I'm so embarrassed. "their" instead of "they're" - oh the horror!
I'm a follower!
LOVE the spring boutique!
Aw, I love that necklace, and their stuff is so lovely. I follow you with Google Reader!
Also, I would totally style this with a patterned Spring-y dress, a cardi, and knee-high boots. So fun!
I'm a follower. I love the winter white yo yo necklace! It's sooo pretty.
I'd wear it with black tights, black lace up heels and a black button up dress. Let the necklace pop. :]
I love this necklace and thank you for the chance to win it!
Just became a follower! Olive & a had such pretty stuff
I would wear it with my black 40's style velvet dress with teal tights and black buckle heels!
These are terrific! Thanks for the chance to win... (and I'm a follower!)

I love your blog, I'll be starting grad school next Fall and hopefully I'll be able to still dress up just like you do. Thanks for the give away, those necklaces are cute.
I would love to wear this necklace as a fun accompaniment to the basic navy blue sheath dress that's more or less become my "teaching uniform."
Oh, and I'm following now too.
I would love to wear this right now with a black tissue turtleneck, but in the summer with a white tank and jeans.
I'm a follower!
following!
Considering the length and downward curve of the necklace, this piece would go great with a (black or floral) dress with a sweetheart neckline (and a flared skirt to draw out the proportions). Since it's still kinda cold out, I'd add a knitted cropped boxy cardigan, some tights and a pair of clog heels. Perfect for the coming spring!
I have a lovely printed jumpsuit, strapless and cuffed at the leg. It would look so fresh with the white flowers. But if I don't win the draw, I'll make my own version. Less classy, but I must have the flowers... must have.
ps- what are you reading these days?
I love the winter white yo yo necklace...i would wear it everything! i think it would look great with a black dress to just a teeshirt and jeans!
