Win Some Neon Bracelets From Lily Dawson Designs!{CLOSED}

Hey loves! It's Friday (TGIF) and I have another fab giveaway for you! Get to know Lily Dawson Designs (etsy shop: HERE)! Lily's jewelry is the epitome of FUN! I'm talkin' colorful pieces that stand-out and will get you noticed!! She has jewelry made from chains, leather, studs, rhinestones -- even agate and pyrite stones! I was instantly smitten when I ran across her shop because her designs are so eclectic, much like my own personal style. Whether you're looking for a new addition to your arm candy, or that next statement piece Lily Dawson Designs is where it's at!


My Q&A with Lily Dawson (Owner/Designer):

1.) Tell us a little about Lily Dawson Designs.
I started the business after my stint in fashion school in L.A. I designed my first bracelet due to the fashion draught that I experienced moving back to Missouri from Southern California. I have found a passion for creating and love trying to keep up with the ever-changing fashion industry through my creations.

2.) I know you've been creating jewelry since 2009, what would you say is a signature "Lily Dawson" piece (or a piece that has stayed in your collection since day one)?
Definitely the braided leather wrap bracelets. These are what got my business started and are still to this day my top sellers.

3.) I love how bright and colorful your jewelry is -- would you say this is a direct reflection of your own personal style?
I hope so! I find my personal style to be more casual, so a bright fun piece like the new Neon Navette Necklace or Kirby Necklace can easily dress up a less-fancy outfit.

4.) What inspires you to design your jewelry?
I’m inspired every season by the trends I see on the runways. Industrial looks like exposed zippers and chunky heels are reflected in my chain necklaces, neons and colorblocking are obvious in many of my brighter pieces. I love looking to nontraditional areas as well, nature, materials and other non-jewelry products have inspired me in the past.

5.) What is currently your fave piece in your shop?
I can’t take off the Misha Necklace in Silver. I wear it with everything. And at $35 a pop, you’ll get your money’s worth after just a few wears!

6.) What type of girl do you envision wearing your jewelry?
Artistic types, people who aren’t “trendy”, but see what they wear as an extension of their personality. Those who value supporting small retailers like myself.

7.) Where do you see Lily Dawson Designs in five years, or what's your ultimate goal for your company?
I’d love to get my jewelry into some more boutiques and create a strong following in the cyber-fashion world. I think that is where my target market spends their time and I’d love to reach them as best I can.

8.) If you had to leave the house with only one piece of jewelry (either from your personal collection or Lily Dawson Designs), which piece would you choose and why?
Probably the Spiky Turquoise ring…layered with the chain link ring. I’m obsessed with this combination, yes, I know 2 pieces, I cheated. (HERE is a pic of what I’m talking about:

9.) Have any fave jewelry designers?
Hmm…I really like what Dannijo is doing lately. I also am a huge fan of a lot of smaller etsy sellers.

10.) If you had to sum up your jewelry shop in three words or less, which three would you choose?
Eclectic, Bold, Inspired
