GIVEAWAY with Beauxoxo! [CLOSED]

licorice hair bow

It's no secret that I love girly accessories. It's also no secret that I have an insane sweet tooth. So when the lovely Georgie from Beauxoxo recently sent me this darling hair bow that combines two of my favorite things... you could say I was immediately hooked! Licorice Allsorts are one of my favorite kinds of candy (I know I'm in the minority there, but that's alright – more for me!), so I couldn't resist styling this bow. Georgie makes all kinds of bows – everything from gingham to pastel to cupcake print! – and I absolutely loved my choice. This print looks good enough to eat!

Wintery Wonders Giveaway! [CLOSED]

Surprise!  I've decided to do a little giveaway today!  I'm really getting into the spirit of the season these days, so I thought it might be nice to spread some Christmas cheer.  One lucky winner will receive this adorable little set of wintertime accessories, just in time for the holidays!

giveaway

I've compiled this package from 4 awesome Etsy sellers -- partially because Etsy is a fantastic resource for unique gifts, but more importantly, I think small business owners and artists are really undervalued in our society, and we should support them as much as possible (not only during the holiday season, but all year round!).  It's so tempting (and sometimes necessary) to buy from bigger chain stores during the holidays, but I've found myself buying from Etsy shop owners more and more each year.  The pieces are always made or curated with such care, and knowing that I'm supporting someone else's creative endeavors is like a present in itself!  So without further ado...

The Details 
One (1) lucky will receive:
- a snowflake hair flower from Stardust Dames
- a polymer clay hot cocoa ring from CMYKlay
- a gingerbread man necklace from I'm Your Present
- a vintage ice skate brooch from MatteGold

Entering the giveaway is easy!  Just use the Rafflecopter widget below.  The giveaway will run until midnight on Friday (it's a bit of a shorter time frame to enter, but I want to make sure I can ship out the prizes to the winner as soon as possible!).  The winner will be announced here on my blog by Sunday morning.  The giveaway is open internationally, and you must be a follower of my blog to enter.  Please make sure to leave a blog comment that includes a valid e-mail address!

Best of luck & have a wonderful Sunday!

Quirk & Kitsch: an accessory guest post for Junebugs and Georgia Peaches!

Hi, all!  I'm doing something fun and different this morning: I'm today's guest blogger over at Junebugs and Georgia Peaches!  For those of you who are unfamiliar with this new-ish addition to the blogosphere, Junebugs and Georgia Peaches is run by the cutest, retro-loving, auburn-locked pair of besties you'll ever see: Modern June Cleaver and Amelia Jetson!  I've had the privilege of getting to know these two lovely ladies over the past few months via Instagram, and they are such sweet girls with wardrobes to die for!  I was absolutely thrilled when I found out they were starting a blog, since they both have such great style and somehow manage to look adorable 24/7.  I was tickled pink when June reached out to me about doing an ad swap, and when she mentioned the possibility of doing a guest post for them, I leapt at the chance!  
Seriously, no one should be allowed to be this adorable.
Since these two already have great posts on vintage-inspired fashion, June suggested that I do a post about my beloved collection of quirky and kitschy accessories.  I initially was going to do a post just about handbags, but then I decided to broaden it to include hats and hair accessories, jewelry and my novelty purses!  I've showcased a lot of "out there" accessories on my blog over this past year, but I've never really shown my whole collection in this way before... so if you're curious to see it in its (almost) entirety, head on over to Junebugs and Georgia Peaches to have a little look-see!  Here's a little taste, but be sure to click here to see all the rest!  :)






Have a great Wednesday!
