The creative design team at Nomination is in love with New York and particularly crazy about Sex in the City. Now that the movie is about to come out celebrating the TV series, the company felt inspired to honor the event by creating thematic women’s charm bracelets. Like that’s not cool enough, they only created thirty of them, and they are not for sale anywhere. That’s right, this limited edition series is only available for the short term via online give-aways. And guess who’s getting first crack at two of them? That’s right, you! Read on for prize and contest entry details.
Both bracelets are from Nomination’s composable collection, where you can select links and build your own custom charm bracelet. How fun is that? Here’s a link if you want to try one out for yourself. Nomination has been an innovator with Italian charm bracelets for years, and is super committed to detail. Here are some of the features you can expect in these two prize bracelets, or any of their charm bracelets for that matter:
- Hand crafted in Italy
- 18 K gold in the link detail
- Hand painted enamel detail
- And of course, that super sexy stainless steel element that I am personally falling for.

but I love the look of a guy in a business shirt with the sleeves rolled up just a little. I don't know why, it just appeals to me. He's dressed up nice and crisp, but the rolled sleeves add just a touch of relaxed and ready for fun.
My wife. Seriously. Glistening with sweat during or after a bike ride. If we went mountain biking, and there is a bit of mud splatter, then that's just icing on the cake. Things that make me feel sexy? A nice fitted t shirt and a cool pair of jeans. I just feel like I can conquer the world. Bonus points if the shirt is a nice cool color (grey, blue, green) and has something catchy on it.
A day on the beach, just a slight sunburn.....a warm shower....and some soft jeans and t-shirt....soft, sexy and relaxed....
Nothing is better than a man with a sense of humor and sarcasm! I would be miserable without laughter (and being laughed at :-P)
The elusive, perfect pair of jeans makes me feel sexy.
A guy in a nice, crisp, well-tailored suit. I always feel sexy when I get my hair to curl just right :D
Secrets are sexy -- when you share a secret with your mate it creates a bond of complicity between the two of you. It is a state where only the two of you know something-- that to me is sexy!
A guy going down on one knee, looking me in the eyes, and kissing my hand.
I shiver just thinking about it.
making me laugh, playing with a baby, brains tempered with heart, confidence, being utterly besotted with the woman he loves
and if he's barefoot, wearing a crisp white shirt and a old pair of jeans, even better!
Sexy is having a conversation with a guy who possesses a great sense of humour and intelligence. Hearing his deep voice, looking into his gorgeous dark eyes, and seeing him smile as you banter.
Any blue eyed man gets my attention right away. Especially a well dressed man with sparkling blue eyes and a smile that says "I'm up to no good". If I were to bump into that guy and he was actually down to earth, was quick witted, and made me laugh, I'd be up for anything. I feel especially sexy when i have high heels on, long sparkling earrings and my hair down.
Funny guys, even if they don't come across as traditionally attractive, can amp it up with intelligent funny comments.
the small things- no not like that, but when my boyfriend notices I'm almost out of contact solution and goes to pick me up some, or the way he still smiles at me when I say something that catches him off guard, or how amazing I feel in a new pair of shoes.
than when my girlfriend gets home from work, walks in the door with a confident & naughty smirk on, backs me against the wall and starts kissing me, finally pulling away to smile and say "Hi honey!"
As far as myself goes - those moments where you're taking your significant other out and you just got a haircut and are wearing a crisp button-down shirt with the top couple buttons open, the sleeves rolled up once or twice, nice pair of jeans, a light spritz of my girl's favorite cologne, nice clean & minimalistic watch on the wrist, and an exquisite pair of dress shoes dressed down to tie it all together...
She gets a rush seeing other girls eying me and knowing that she's got what they want.
There is nothing better than my husband walking off the bus coming home from a deployment. Homecomings are worth the deployments!
I was going to say the same as #10:
Watching an older couple holding hands...it makes me smile & feel warm & fuzzy.
And hugs...just plain old hugs...mmm
What is really sexy to me, is a guy who can stay calm during utter chaos, never raise his voice and in the middle of it all, give a quirky grin and a wink.
my husband's Arkansas accent that only appears when he's relaxed or talking to someone in AR.
I feel sexy in a great pair of shoes - heels, sneakers or loafers.
is my husband saying, "you stay in bed, here's your coffee and the paper, breakfast will be ready in a few, and what can I do for you today?" As the saying goes: husband doing housework=foreplay. I feel sexy when I feel appreciated (see above).
When my husband looks me in the eyes and says, "I love you." He doesn't say it all that often, so it is very special to me.
To me, feeling sexy is about feeling comfortable in my own self, in the moment. Nothing expensive, "trying too hard" or put-on ever feels sexy.
So I look for the simplest things that make me feel that.
some examples for my own sense of style/grace:
- good scents from perfumes or essential oils
- simple style, like my one signature pair of silver hoop earrings that I wear almost every day. comfortable soft, well-fitting clothes and fabrics.
and specifically romantic?
- dates where I can spend time connecting with my partner and are focused on us, not money or crazy plans, like going to the beach and having a picnic or hiking or our favorite cheapie, comfort late-night diner. Getting a cup of coffee and watching a beautiful sunset somewhere.
- candlelight.
I mean isn't that the essence of being "frugal"? - its all about being in the moment as simply as possible. So it makes sense that simple indulgences can be very sexy.
With men I find confidence (if not a touch of arrogance) absolutely sexy and the ability to turn my day around no matter how crap or long it's been.
Thinking about myself, short dresses and high heels are probably the best sexy-ness booster... On the other hand, knowing that I'm wearing stunning underwear also helps ;-)
I remember the moment I started to fall for my boyfriend. We were chatting at the kitchen table on a warm early-summer evening. He looked directly at me with those big blue eyes of his and at that very moment I felt shivers down my spine and goosebumps on my arms! It wasn't just his gorgeous eyes that did it to me. The entirety of his gaze at that moment was sexy: his confidence, intelligence, kindness, the sparkle of mischief that hid behind all of it and the intensity with which he was looking at me made me weak at the knees. Noone has ever made me feel that way before.
On the other side of the spectrum, I feel so incredibly sexy when I catch him looking at me in a way that says 'You're the most beautiful woman in the universe'. This man doesn't even have to say a word... ;)
I love feeling that I look like a million dollars while wearing something that I have owned for years. Being confident and content without spending a penny is very sexy...very exciting!
i find a scruffy face on a man very sexy. with a nicely defined jaw. when a man is doing yardwork and gets dirty. very nice. i like a mischevious man that is a bit of a wise a--. like to play around, but behind the scene is a sweetheart. that to me is the epitomy of sexy.
as for me, i feel sexy, as most women do, in heels. peeptoe specifically. also when i have just had my hair cut and colored. i feel very confident and that is sexy.
The brush of a super swishy dress across the back of my calves as I'm getting ready for a special might out with my honey...
there's something about the way my husband calls me 'darlin' that just gets me if you know what i mean. we met first on the phone and his voice alone told me that he was special and hot.
i feel sexiest when i'm kayaking, swimming or on the beach. there's something about water and sun...
the sexiest moment of my life was when i came home from the hospital after my first mastectomy. my then fiance/now husband and i were cuddling. i felt pretty mutilated. however cuddling became kissing and pretty soon i was sure that my missing body part was completely irrelevent to this man that thought i was sexy just because i was me.
Hanging out with my husband, who is my best friend. We have so much fun together all the time, it is impossible to imagine my life without him! How sexy is that?!
Him - Coming in from a day at work and being happy to see his family. Me - when we're laughing from silliness; finishing each others thoughts
When a woman feels loved by her husband, no matter what her size or weight, she has a confidence, an air about her, and a "Mona Lisa" smile....now that is what men find sexy. And that in turn is what drives me wild, when my husband loves me unconditionally, no matter what my size...that is so freeing to a woman and makes me feel absolutely sexy!
Besides the right fitting clothes on a man, and nicely shaped forearms and all that "shallow" stuff, LOL...
I find it the sexiest thing EVER, when I see a guy spending time, or hugging his kid.
I don't know why. Some Dads I guess just don't get all wishy washy with their kids, and they should.
When my Husband hugs and kisses my Son or Daughter, it just makes me smile from ear to ear. They are so cute together, and just knowing that tall, dark, handsome, strong man, who's being so tender and loving with the kids is MINE....
THAT'S SEXY!!
What I find sexy is a well-groomed man wearing a nicely tailored business suit with clean hands and nails. He also is wearing Paul Sebastian. Love it!!!
Hugging really tightly after not seeing my boyfriend for a while. We just finished a 3-month period of long-distance and it was wonderful to just hug him for so long.
I LOVE it when my husband puts his hand on the small of my back - whether we're walking down the street and he's got his thumb in my waist band or we're slow dancing or sleeping or...
Doesn't matter - when his hand is there I feel safe and sexy and desired and secure -
it really is the simple things that make life great...
I love guys in tailored suits (none of that one-size-fits all men's warehouse type of thing). Big bonus points if they wear suspenders!
Accents (British) are also incredibly sexy.
And although I know they're bad for my posture, my feet, my everything, nothing beats a killer pair of heels.
Confidence is sexy. Tenderness is sexy. Sometimes being silly is sexy. What is never sexy? Giant muscles. Ick.
What makes me feel sexy? High heels and pencil skirts.
...is someone who smiles at me like he knows something I don't know, and it's very, very good.
An open-collared shirt, jeans, and barefootedness works, too. :)
Sexy is the feeling of slipping into cool white linen after a day at the beach (and a shower!)
Sexy is the way my guy says my name as a question, softly, and when I answer he tells me he loves me and I feel it.
The sexiest thing for me is when you get home and your partner has drawn a warm, candle lit bath for you to share.
The thing that makes me feel the sexiest is when I am in uniform on lunch... Nothing makes the ladies heads turn like a man in uniform, but especially a firefighter!
Sexy is being pregnant - the feeling of being a total woman and expectant mother.
Sexy is my partner holding our newborn close and tenderly talking to her.
what i find sexy is intelligence and a beautiful smile. if you cant talk to someone how else can you spend time with them?
I guess sexy means slim, shinning, and smiling to me. Either girls or boys acting in that way appears to be sexy ....
