Styled & Sangria Party

by Natasha on June 5, 2012 in Uncategorized

Do you watch Tori & Dean on Oxygen? You know how she’s really good at making babies? (Another one?! Really? You’re making me look bad girlie) Well apparently she’s also really good at making other things…like jewelry. Who knew, right?

Tori is a big crafter on the side & had this great idea of developing a line for people who want to make their own jewelry but aren’t necessarily avid DIYers. The idea is you choose different pieces from her humongous collection & then connect them in different ways to create personalized necklaces, bracelets, earrings…whatever you want. No tools required, no crazy skills…just some creativity. Genius, right?

I have several friends who always whine inquisitively inform me as to how they would love to make my blog projects but they’re just not that ‘crafty’. I decided to have a little Girl’s Night In with them, the Tori Spelling jewelry line “Styled” & multiple bottles of Sangria.

I’m SUCH a good friend.

And the final creations…

We call this one our Fifty Shades of Grey necklace. See the chains, leather & straps? Go to page 98. Yep, I know. That book is dirrrrty.

Seriously though, how easy is this? Just pick a top, bottom & connectors. Wah-lah! A necklace.

I added a few danglers too, just to spice things up…The possibilities truly are endless. And when you keep drinking, that list just gets better & better.

5 bottles of skinnygirl Sangria + 1 gallon of milk = mom-of-the-year

*No time (or desire) to make homemade Sangria? The skinnygirl one is delicious. Also the night before I soaked some chopped peaches, strawberries, raspberries with white wine & left them in a tupperware overnight. They made a fantastically delicious garnish.

For munchies we had brown sugar baked brie with apples, veggie flatbread & a roasted garlic & lemon artichoke. (flatbread recipe coming soon & yeah, that artichoke looks like it was possibly on fire at some point. It was not. I was actually tasty delicious, promise.)

I HIGHLY recommend having a jewelry party with your girlfriends. We had so much fun & yes, by the end of the night our pieces couldn’t even make it past a Forever 21 accessories inspector but that’s ok. We each left with multiple items for our jewelry boxes & more importantly had an amazing time where we were still home & in bed by 11p. My ideal kind of night.

You can find out more about Tori’s Styled Collection here, also look for them on shelves in Michael’s & JoAnn’s or follow their twitter @StyledbyTS

*Full Disclosure: Styled by Tori is a paid sponsor of Little Pink Monster however my review & opinions are strictly my own

    This looks like so much fun! I’m not a crafter, but would like to be. We live in the same town and should be friends immediately. 🙂 How’s that for creepy ?:)

    I am totally not a crafter.

    I just read about it in blogs….

    But I do feel like I am in need of a girls night so this is a great idea! 🙂

    Oh, that looks like so much fun! A brilliant idea to have your non-crafty friends test these out.

    We also had a craft night with wine (I’m a cupcake wine girl myself ;o) this past weekend! We did a little jewelry but mostly mod podging picture frames. I recommend wine and craft parties to everyone, they are so much fun! Love your gals creations!

    You were so worried about using sponsors 🙂 I loved the blog – and the idea! I never would’ve known had you not said anything. Your honesty is why it doesn’t change anything. Love your blog!

      agreed! I actually think it’s so awesome that Tori Spelling’s craft line (a name brand celebrity company) sponsored you- what an honor!
      Now you just need Bethenny Frankel’s skinny girl to sponsor your crafting beverages 😉

        @Whitney
        Amen! 🙂

    So can you hit them up for a second round of sponsorship and host a party with all your local blog readers? I’m envisioning a BYO sangria tasting competition! I’m sure you’d be OK with giving out your home address to a bunch of strangers… Because I bet at least 75% of us are stalkers of the healthy variety: “She’s so cool; I’d love to hang out with her and soak up some awesomeness and learn some crafty stuff. I want to be like her.” As opposed to the SWF-ish other 25% who actually want to BE you. Those people, you don’t want them at your house.

    I really like this idea for a bachelorette party too even…just girls together eating some good munchies and making jewelry! It’s very laid back and just fun. =D

    Must look into this line. And you were worried about sponsors…

    THIS, this right here, is an excellent post where you stayed true to yourself and gave me some darn good ideas. <3 Bravo! And congrats on being sponsored by such a big name!

    Oh my goodness can I please be invited to the next Girls Night In?!! First of all I LOVE Tori and Dean. My friends think im a little nuts cause I watch that show. And I had heard she came up with the super creative line. That looks like so much fun putting those together. And you had Skinny Girl! I have been wanting to try her drinks for a while. Looks like you ladies had a great time and made some fabulous jewelry!
