Hello readers! Ana Davidson here, and I’m thrilled to be kicking off my GUS column on one of my favorite parts of preparing for a film or photo shoot: conceptualization.

I’m so excited for today’s giveaway from Noonday Collection! I love Noonday Collection not only for their glamorous, dangly earrings that I wore all weekend on our beach trip, but because of their dedication to paying the artisans who make their pieces as well as donating proceeds towards a good cause.
Here’s your chance to win $50 to Noonday and try out their pretty jewelry yourself! Simple head over to Noonday Collection and tell me in the comments which piece you’d like for yourself. My personal pick were the Cluster Earrings but I also love the Mediterranean Sea Earrings as well as the Sapphire Orbit Earrings—and how fun are the Tassel Earrings?
You have until Thursday, May 23 at 5PM to enter and a winner will be chosen at random and announced Friday morning. Good luck!

Happy Friday, friends! Do you have any weekend plans? Adam and I are heading down to the coast after lunch today for a much needed mini vacation. His mom has the cutest condo right on the water and as soon as we get there we always make a batch of beach ‘ritas (“recipe” after the jump) and watch the dolphins swimming and jumping out of the water below. I can’t wait!!
Links for your Friday, including where to get one of these adorable bags, after the jump.
