100(+) Followers = GIVEAWAY TIME!!

As promised, I am posting to let you all know about my 100 (+) follower giveaway!

I started my blog back in March and really started it on a whim. My (now) fiance' suggested I get back into writing, which is my #1 passion. But I just didn't know what to write about. After brainstorming and whatnot, we both figured a blog of my fashion likes, outfits and purchases would be cool. Skeptical at first, I debated back and forth. I have had a blog before but never stuck with it. It was like a blog of my poetry and writings. Anyway, I NEVER knew there was such a large community of "fashion/style bloggers" until I really began blogging. I also reached out to a few people to help me get stared, again on a whim. I wasn't sure if I would get a response but, they were SO kind and really confirmed that I should just go for it and give it a try. Sooo, I want to thank Vanessa at Simply Chic, Jenn with Style My Fashion, Prissy over at Rush Our Fashion, Cortnie with StyleLust Pages, and Corie from Its My Taste.Thanks for answering my MANY questions about blogging and for basically talking to a stranger, lol. I really appreciate it :-)

Now onto what I am giving away and how you can enter to win these GREAT items below. The first item is a handmade clutch by Cortnie (visit her Etsy shop HERE). You have seen her clutches on my page before and believe me when I say, you will want to get your hands on this clutch! Inside the bag will be a recent purchase I made of a pair of black studs from Amuse in Tysons Corner (VA), and some surprise nail polishes (BRAND NEW).

 The rules are simple: (1) Follow my Facebook page HERE  and (2) comment below with your email address below. That's it! I wish you all the best of luck and I will announce and contact the winner on Friday, December 16th by 9pm. Giveaway ends on Friday , December at 6pm.

Take care!

Quick Look

Hey everybody! Hope all is well.

It has been such a struggle for me to take pictures of my outfits these past few days. I have been literally in the groove of my new job, which I love, AND when I get home I am just ready to get into my leggins and tee-shirt and crawl into bed. But, I have had a chance to take a few pics of some of my recent purchases. I went to Tysons Corner (VA) Saturday with my mom and little sis. Although I didn't buy too much, I still had a ball!

We happened to stop at this great accessories store called, Amuse and I literally could have gone CRAZY in there. They had thee cutest items and the most unique pieces. Everything from Masquerade Ball masks, to jewlery boxes, to accessories....to luggage! I have really been in to watching DIY Youtube videos lately and I was inspired to get some nail art supplies. I was elated to find that Amuse had nail polish and supplies there as well. So, I got some "nail art" which is the paint and thin brush they use in the shop to do nail designs. I plan to give it a try one evening this week and post my results. I get in creative modes from time to time and this happens to be one of those time. I hope my "DIY beauty mode" lasts for a bit, LOL.

I also purcased my first pair of Toms. I have seen SO many people wear them and I just couldnt get myself to try a pair. But while in Nordstrom, a pair caught my eye and once I tried them on it was love! They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. They have a rubber sole, they are a Nordstrom Exclusive (see HERE), and they are a charitable shoe. So, I felt that it was a good purchase for more reasons than one.

Well, I hope you all had a great night/evening. I plan to do a week in pictures with my weekly outfits by the end of this week. Also, I am almost at 100 followers and plan to host my 2nd giveaway. But for now, enjoy the pics and talk to you soon. Be blessed!
