Tweet this Giveaway | Vera Wang Princess Set
By Samantha
Design icon Vera Wang teamed with “it” girl Zoe Kravitz to create her latest scent, Vera Wang Princess. The sheer, fruity and floral scent showcases the modern day princess who embodies both elegance and edge. Wang was inspired by Kravitz’ individuality and one-of-a-kind spirit, and wanted to bring those qualities to those that wear this royal fragrance.
The scent is full of whimsical wonders. The top notes include Lady Apples, Water Lilly, Golden Apricot and Mandarin Meringue. The heart notes are pink guava, Tahitian Tiare flower, Wild Tuberose and dark chocolate (yum.) And the base notes are vanilla and amber woods. Fruit, chocolate and flowers: three things that every true princess can appreciate. And yes, we are all princesses of our own palaces.
One of the best part of perfumes is their bottling, and this one is sure not to disappoint. The purple hued, of course, fragrance is set in a heart-shaped amulet with the top designed as a bejeweled crown which features a gold band and Amethyst crystals. After all, royalty always has to come with a jewel encrusted crown. So what if you can’t dress like a princess everyday, if you can smell like one.
Alongside the perfume, Vera Wang has created a matching coin purse for ladies on the go, making sure that you always have royalty at your fingertips, holding your change. Check out Vera Wang Princess for more information.

If the recent trailers for the Sex and the City sequel haven’t gotten you all rattled up enough, then the new SJP NYC fragrance is sure to tickle your fancy. The ultimate style icon, and persona behind everyone’s favorite fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw, Sarah Jessica Parker has just launched her latest fragrance.

With hints of wild red strawberries, mimosa, honeysuckle, sandalwood, vanilla and red rose, the scent is captivating, and the quintessential perfume for the statement-making city girl.
Even more enticing than the fragrance is the packaging, which is a collision of bold, fun prints in bright colors, giving you an essence of SJP’s one-of-a-kind couture filled closet of goodies. A closet we would love to raid, any day, any time. The fragrance is awesome, but the almost quilted look exterior is definitely one to showcase. The bottle is simple, but is housed in the patterned canister, which is just the perfect size to fit in your “it” bag of the season. And who doesn’t want to take their chic fragrance on the go? Simple on the inside and stylishly wild on the outside, the fragrance embodies all that is Sarah Jessica Parker, a true muse.
“I wanted to create a fragrance with a great sense of fun and whimsy,” said Sarah Jessica Parker. “It’s about mixing things up and breaking rules, all of the things I like about fashion.”
The SJP NYC collection is available at Macy’s. The 60ml eau de toilette spray is $49.00, the 30ml eau de toilette spray is $35.00, the 15ml eau de toilette spray $25.00 and the 200ml body lotion is $25.00. A small price to pay in homage to the Carrie Bradshaw lifestyle.

If Valentines has left you feeling a little lonely, or thinking that you need to shake up your relationship… then maybe it’s time to query yourself!
Romance doesn’t have to happen just once a year, so we’re offering America’s couples an alternative date night that won’t break the bank, by challenging you and your loved one to spend the evening in with the new British hom-rom-com Mr Right.
A fast-paced, colorful, and exuberantly romantic-comedy that tells the intertwined tales of Louise, an attractive Brit looking for love, and her gay friends, including producer Harry who lives with his rascal young actor boyfriend Alex; Rugby player William who dates soap star Lawrence; and wealthy artist Tom who is trying to hold on to the model Lars. When Louise brings her latest catch Paul to dinner, this unwittingly sets off a chain of events that calls into question each couple’s relationship, as well as challenging Paul’s heterosexuality!
Mr Right merges metrosexual and gay style with a backdrop of London cool as it dares you to find your Mr Right…
To celebrate the release, POSHGLAM is giving away 5 copies of this fantastic movie.

Tweet This Giveaway | Channel Beyonce in Sobral Jewelry
By Samantha
While in Rio de Janeiro for her “I Am…” concert series, Beyonce took a break to film the music video for “Put In In A Love Song” with Alicia Keys. The pair donned colorful, eclectic ensembles that were bold, fun and definitely vibrant. Beyonce chose funky earrings and bracelets from Carlos Sobral’s Matte Pop and Pop Art collections, both made out of recycled resin. Sobral recently made its US debut with a store in NYC, as the designer is bringing his flair for Brazilian fashion forward culture to the States.
Carlos Sobral began designing in the 1960s making fantastic pieces out of otherwise unused recyclable materials. At the Hippie Fair in the 1970s in Ipanema, the designer discovered resin, and the love affair never ended, as Sobral was able to showcase his fabulous use of colors and innovative shapes.
With resin as his counterpart, Sobral hit the ground running. In 2008, the designer partnered with Karl Lagerfeld to create Lagerfeld by Sobral, a signature collection that acted as the marriage between the two designer’s unique aesthetics. Most notable is that Sobral acts as a truly “green” company, is humanitarian, assisting its numerous workers in Brazil and is philanthropic, partnering with Museum of the Republic in educating underprivileged children in the art of jewelry design. 
Each Sobral piece is handcrafted in the workspace in Brazil. Sobral is giving away the large resin bangle that Beyonce is pictured wearing, which retails for $92. Visit Sobral USA for more information about the dazzling, bold brand.
Would you like to win this gift? Enter our raffle* by tweeting the giveaway @POSHGLAM and emailing: Samantha@POSHGLAM.com, subject “Sobral Giveaway.” Please include your name, mailing address, email address and your favorite Beyonce song, for fun.
