We Are Giving Away Four Luxurious Scented Votivo Candles!

We are so excited about this amazing Giveaway. We've teamed up with Candle Luxury to offer FOUR of our readers a chance to win this ever-so seductive "Red Currant" candle from Votivo's Dalian Collection. The fragrant candle retails for $45 and burns for approximately 50 hours. Votivo candles are designed to compliment your decor with their distinctive packaging. Votivo candles are crafted by hand to satisfy both your taste and your senses.The Dalian Red Currant Candle offers a savory blend of tart red currants and golden fruit glaze. Every fashionista needs to relax with a book, glass of wine and a fabulous scented Red Currant Candle!

While traveling in China, Votivo’s designers came across a quaint province called Dalian known for its expertise in the art of glass-making. Inspired by a cylindrical tower meticulously cut with a geometric texture, the Dalian Collection pays respect to this age-old art tradition. The collection features a stylized version of the cylindrical tower in four Votivo fragrances: Clean Crisp White, Red Currant, Mosaic and Glorioso.

Meant to be enjoyed in dim light, the Dalian Collection attempts to put the olfactory sense front and center dropping out all other senses like sight and sound. Because each fragrance is encased in an opaque, black-cut glass, the flame seemingly floats when burned in a dark room creating an air of mystery. The Dalian Collection is a study of the interplay between scent and ambiance as it seeks to facilitate an experience where the two amplify one another. The soy-blend wax burns for approximately 50 hours.

The winner will be chosen at random on May 7, 2010. AFGG will select the winner and Candle Luxury will send the candle directly to you. AFGG wishes to thank Candle Luxury for sponsoring this scented GIVEAWAY! Makes a perfect Mother's Day Gift!

Indulge in a Treasure by Roger Vivier!

We are obsessing over the patent Metro Shoulder bag from Roger Vivier. It’s hard to list all the things we love about this bag, but we'll try! Perfect everyday bag and so classically-chic!

The color is absolutely gorgeous. It’s perfect for spring and summer especially since it’s more of a sky shade than a navy or a teal. The shiny patent leather makes this "goodie" shine like a jewel, so the blue stands out here even more!

The styling is fabulous! We love the signature silver buckle in front, and the way the bag folds open into multi-pocket wallet is amazing. I don’t know about you, but we have so many different cards,change purses and money pockets in my current handbag that it would be so nice to just streamline everything into a more compact system. Plus, that shimmer of gold on the inside is fabulous! A bag you will own forever.

The versatility of this bag makes it a perfect choice for any look.This bag is ultra-chic and it looks just as incredible with a tee and skinny jeans as it does with an LBD, LWD and some Casadei Sandals.It’s the perfect size and is NOT voluminous, which is a definite plus since you won’t be scrounging around for hours trying to find your lipsticks. Truly a must-have gem! Shop Vivier and Casedei Sandals from our fabulous affiliate:New Collections S/S 10 at LUISAVIAROMA

Guest Blogger Thefind.com Gets Green and Chic for Earth Day!

Chic Eco-Friendly Style for Earth Day !

Every year the demand for eco-friendly, sustainable, fair-trade and socially conscious fashions grow. This year TheFind's editors have rounded up their favorite style-worthy picks in honor of Earth Day. Forget the hemp tunics and cork-soled clunky sandals. Today there is something for everyone who wants to glam it up while embracing the best eco-friendly and socially responsible fashion brands.

Green is the New Black
For one day only on April 22, 2010 Louis Vuitton will donate 10% of all sales on its U.S. Web site to Global Green USA. Your donation will help to support the Green Schools cause for children in New Orleans and Los Angeles. To raise awareness to this cause check out Louis Vuitton's twitter stream to hear what fashion editors André Leon Talley, Nina Garcia and Kim Hastreiter have to say about saving the environment. Featured above is Sofia Coppola's exclusive design for Slim Suede Clutch (middle right, $1,400 at LouisVuitton)

Eco-Luxe Leather
For those who are lulled by leather but want to avoid the harsh chemicals used to treat them, Donna Karan has created a gorgeous shoulder bag called "The Bandito" organic leather bag (bottom left, $1,295 at Net-a-Porter). This bag is a luxurious design with ruched panel detailing, a drawstring tie close. The leather comes from a chemical-free farm, which treats the leather using natural vegetable oils.

Earth Friendly Cardigan
From Bassike is slouchy black and white striped organic cotton cardigan (upper left, $190 at Net-a-Porter) that is sure to be a well loved essential part of any eco-maven's wardrobe. The draped front adds an interesting silhouette and buttons in the front, you'll also love the stitched detail at the back and the fact that it's machine washable!

The State of Organic Denim
Loomstate is known for their organic cotton jeans. We love the look of the Revelation Jean (upper right, $54 at Greenloop) for its low-rise slim leg styling. These jeans are made of 99% organic cotton. The other 1% is made of elastane, which helps to give a snug fit. Loomstate is a sustainable company, which uses socially conscious and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices, and organic materials when possible.

Happy Earth Day!
