Sponsor Love + Giveaway - Simply Livly

{shop} {facebook}

Hi friends! I’m obsessed with jewelry, have you noticed from all my outfit posts that I always love accessorizing with necklaces? I love statement pieces the best and I’m currently trying to build my collection to have at least a necklace in every color, because that’s totally essential in my mind. And my sponsor Simply Livly is the perfect shop to help me with my collection. This shop is full of statement necklaces in a variety of colors, designs, materials, etc. Seriously, I want them all. Let’s get to know the owner of the shop, Pam, a little better, and then one of you can win the same Simply Livly necklace that I one (twinsies)!!

{MEET PAM}

1) Tell us a little bit about yourself and how you decided to start up shop.
For many years working for a large marketing firm as an account manager, I had a pretty conservative weekday wardrobe. Luckily I always managed to keep my outfits interesting by adding statement necklaces to my nondescript button downs and suits.

While on maternity leave with my younger daughter, I had a sudden burst of creativity. I couldn’t relax so I spent those 4 months designing necklaces in between feedings and naps. I created a necklace that I’d wear out and about on our daily walks around my old beach town. Complete strangers approached me to comment on my necklace and wanted to know where I bought it. A boutique in town immediately ordered a few and after giving a few to family and friends, my etsy stop debuted that summer. Since then I have officially retired from the corporate world and we have relocated from California to Texas for my husband’s company. Now I am able to work from home on my own schedule and raise my two girls, ages 5 and 2 in a creative environment.

2) What things are you looking forward to doing this summer?
Visiting with family on the east coast, hanging out poolside, trip to the beach {fingers crossed}, movies on the lawn, trip to Austin, and experimenting with homemade popsicle concoctions.

3) What are some of your favorite color combinations?
Turquoise has always been a favorite of mine and I’m loving coral these days. Mixed together it’s the perfect combination and reminds me of the beach.

4) What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
I’m a simple girl when it comes to ice cream. Soft serve vanilla from dairy queen is my flavor.
