the ropes. a giveaway!

I have very exciting news to announce. Shana, owner/designer of The Ropes, a nautical-inspired jewelery line out of Maine is giving away one of her adorable bracelets {$60 value} to one of my lucky readers!


I love the bright colors and materials she uses in her pieces. Every design is beautiful and her bracelets remind me of a much more sophisticated and stylish version of the rope bracelets I wore as a kid.


I have a real soft spot for Maine. My sister lives there and I've been lucky enough to spend a lot of time there over the past few years. There is something so easy-going about that state and Shana really embraces it in her design. Doesn't it make you want to go chill out on a boat in Maine tomorrow?



Shana studied apparel and fashion design at the Rhode Island School of Design and worked in the industry in New York City and Boston for the beginning of her career. She always had a dream of bringing her design expertise back to her home state of Maine, the place that inspired her most. She brought her dream to life when she moved back to Maine and began The Ropes. Shana finds inspiration in her trips to large cities and her love for the ocean. She believes that living in a smaller town pushes you to be even more creative with what you have.

"Things are not so straight forward or obvious; you have to look outside the box and that is where creativity flourishes." -Shana

  7. Oh dear. I LOVE these bracelets - especially the multi-strand. Such a fun punch of color. My husband and son are competitive sailors - me? Not so much. These just make me feel like part of the team.

  20. Those bracelets remind me so much about growing up with friends that were sailing. We would tie ropes they had around our arms as bracelets but the grown up version is so much classier. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of the black ones...

  21. I love the sea and those bracelets are perfect arm candy for a beachy girl like me. I love the nautical chic feel and the designs look exceptional. I especially love the coral and black one, but truly it's so hard to pick :) Thanks so much for the opportunity and I am one of your newest followers!
