I am so unbelievably excited about this giveaway.  I've mentioned on Instagram that I recently purchased a vintage bar cart for my living room.  I've been looking for the perfect accent piece to go above it, and came across something called vintage marquee lights.  You might have seen these recently.  They seem to be everywhere.  You can create words, phrases, they even have symbols!  The rustic color goes perfectly with any decor and really makes a statement.

So, which one did I get?  The 24" heart of course!  It's the perfect piece to add some character to my place.  Take a look!  I'm in LOVE!

Here's where the great news comes in.  Jerrad and his wife Machel own the Vintage Marquee Lights company in South Carolina.  Jerrad was nice enough to offer my readers their choice of either a 24" letter or 24" symbol!  How amazing is that????  The 24" retail for $229!  You can hang it, stack it, put it on the floor or a bookshelf, etc.  The possibilities are endless!  The winner will choose the piece and Jerrad will send it directly to your door!  Yep!  Then of course, if you could take some photos of your sign and share them, we'd love to see it!

Blog Makeover Giveaway!

Good evening all!  I hope you've had a chance to check out my new look and love it.  I'm so excited about the update!  In honor of the new look, Jagger Edge has generously offered to giveaway one of their fabulous phone cases!  You might have seen the cases in publications like Vogue Magazine.  I fell in love with the gorgeous leather and well-placed studs when I purchased mine.  I have the dark silver with silver studs, and have been getting so many compliments!  The cases retail for around $98, so wouldn't it be wonderful to win your own???

Although there are several cheap knockoffs of the original Montana collection by Jagger Edge, the quality does not compare to the luxurious materials the company uses.  Accept no imitations, the quality is worth the cost.  Trust me, I have one and wouldn't settle for anything less.  The cases are 100% handcrafted and made in the United States.  That alone is worth the cost.  So, how do you enter?  Just follow the Rafflecopter link below and good luck!  Giveaway ends next Thursday February 14!

Because It's Sunday--Giveaway!

Good afternoon all!  I hope you're having a great weekend.  I'm starting to feel a bit better today.  It's a gorgeous day out here in sunny Southern CA, and I'm feeling generous, so I've decided to partner up with Mac + Jac and give away some fabulous clothing!  These hot little numbers might just be perfect for a Valentine's Day date!

Take a look at what you'll get:

Yep, that's 2 adorable dresses, and one open weaved sweater top.  All items are size large, but the brand does run a bit small so I would consider them a medium for me.  If you can't wear them, enter to give as a gift for someone else!  Each item has the tags attached and retail for $40 per piece.  That's a total value of $120!!! So how do you enter, you ask?  Just follow the Rafflecopter links below to enter up to 37 entries!  Giveaway ends next Sunday, January 27.  Please make sure to follow all directions to avoid being disqualified and good luck!!!

Fashion Friday Summer Scallops

It's Fashion Friday again!  I'm so excited because this week has been my first real week of vacation.  I'm loving catching up on all of your blogs and can't wait to see what you share for Fashion Friday!  There are so many fabulous trends out there for summer, and one I'm loving is scallops.  A scalloped edge on anything makes the piece look feminine and edgy at the same time.  Scallops are being used on everything from shoes to bathing suits!  Check out these gorgeous finds.
