Spring Fling: Novica Review & $60 Giveaway

I first saw a review for Novica last year and, after I took a look at the website, I fell in love. For people who love traveling and exotic, foreign gifts, Novica is a wonderful place to find something unique and special. Novica has partnered with National Geographic, offering artists and artisans around the world a chance to showcase their talents and creativity. You will everything from home items and handmade jewelry to beautiful silk scarves and paintings. You may have never traveled to Brazil or Thailand, but no one needs to know that! As part of Novica's mission reads, The World Is Your Market!

My Thoughts
I was given $60 credit to pick out an item on Novica and couldn't wait. Little did I know, finding something would be very, very difficult because there is just so much from which to choose! Everything in the store is selected for it's artistic quality and uniqueness, making it near impossible to just purchase one thing, but after much debate, I decided on the Burgundy Dreams Cotton WrapAround Dress made by Dewa Porto in Bali.

The dress came so beautifully wrapped, I really hated to open it. I even took a few pictures of it before taking it apart. This amazingly came along with the purchase and didn't cost anything extra! The purchase also came with a story card about Dewa, the artisan.

 When I saw this dress in the pictures, I immediately wanted it. I could picture myself wearing it pretty much all year. It's nice and cool for a summer dress, but also pretty enough for a winter party dress. I was struck by how beautiful the color is, almost metallic looking, though it is cotton and super-soft! The dress is available without the bow, but I thought it added something to the look. It can be tied on the side, but also around the back if you want it out of the way.

Now that I've discovered Novica, they've made a fan for life. I can't even call their items products because they are really all pieces of art and make perfect gifts for any occasion. I love this store and highly recommend it. Keep in mind that many of the pieces are being shipped from overseas so, it takes a few weeks to receive them, but, believe me, it's well worth the wait!
