The Soubrette Brunette's FAIRY Happy Birthday Giveaway

Tomorrow is my 36th birthday, and of course, I'm marking the occasion with a giveaway! In honor of one of my favorite costumes of this past year and something I've loved since childhood, this year's giveaway is all about having a FAIRY happy birthday.

This 35th year has been one of unexpected change—both good and bad—and undeniable transformation. Interestingly, I'd already decided on the theme of this giveaway before researching whether it has any relevant symbolism. Lo and behold, it does: Among other things, fairies can represent magic, nature, and...transformation. 

With that in mind, I've put together a magical prize package that will help you transform into a fairy princess in your own right and to live out your fae fantasies. Because you're never too old to believe in fairies (or become one).

One (1) winner will receive a fairy-themed giveaway prize package that includes:

• $50 gift card to Selkie or JessaKae (winner's choice)
• cottagecore wicker mushroom basket purse
• The Complete Book of the Flower Fairies
• pumpkin fairy print from The Art of Stephanie Marie
• Pacifica animal magic eyeshadow palette
• mystic faerie tarot deck
• fairy perfume by Wanderlust Botanicals
• butterfly temporary tattoos
• flower potion stickers
• fairy realm candle
• butterfly hair claw
• acorn necklace

This package is worth over $250! But if you want to win, you must follow the rules outlined below.

All giveaway participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter below. (If you have trouble getting it to load, please try again on your desktop or laptop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES EXACTLY AS WRITTEN to be eligible to win. ** I will disqualify entrants who fail to complete required entries correctly. Follow all directions so you don't lose out! :)

This giveaway is now open worldwide and will close at 11:59 PM ET on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024. One (1) giveaway winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via the email address provided in their entries, so remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! Anonymous commenters must identify themselves clearly so I can contact them if they win. No other platforms will be used to contact winners for this giveaway. The contacted winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of message receipt or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed via the widget below. 

This giveaway is hosted and sponsored by The Soubrette Brunette. No other brands or businesses represented in this giveaway's prize selection have contributed or are otherwise associated with this giveaway, nor is the giveaway sponsored by any platform. Note that in the event of stock or availability issues, comparable prize substitutions may be made. This giveaway prize package has no cash value.

The Soubrette Brunette's 11th Blogiversary Giveaway: Garden Party Time!

It's hard to believe that another year of blogging has gone by! While I'm not nearly as active on here as I once was (working full-time, owning a home, and having several creative projects on the side will do that to you), I still cherish this space – the outfits I've shared, the friends I've made, and the opportunities that have fallen in my dressed-up lap. 

When I started this blog 11 years ago, I didn't have any idea I'd still be publishing posts more than a decade later... or that I'd be writing for a living... or that I'd be interviewed in several publications... all as a direct result of starting The Soubrette Brunette! I'm thankful I took the leap all those years ago – and that there are still folks who take time to follow along and feel inspired by my personal fashion philosophy.

Every February, I host a big "blogiversary" giveaway to commemorate the start of The Soubrette Brunette and to thank you all for your support along the way. This year is a fun and flowery one! So without further ado... it's (garden) party time!

With help from my friend Val at Sungrove Blossoms, I've really leaned into the floral theme for this year's giveaway and curated a prize package that feels like a garden party in a box! My 11th blogiversary giveaway winner will receive a beautiful, blooming bounty. Keep reading to learn what's up for grabs and how to enter the blog giveaway. 

One (1) winner will receive:

• $50 Ivy City Co. gift card (for the perfect garden party dress!)
• a dried bouquet, artisanal crackers, and Katie Daisy sticker from Sungrove Blossoms
• Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers
• vintage floral veil hat and vintage decoupaged floral purse
• lady head vase brooch by Lipstick & Chrome
• Colourpop "Heavy Petal" eyeshadow palette
• Rifle Paper Co. floral stationery set
• The Secret Garden book vase
• forget-me-not necklace
• pink tulle gloves
  
• assorted teas + other goodies

But if you want to win, you must follow all the giveaway rules below!

All giveaway participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you have trouble getting the widget to load, please try on desktop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES EXACTLY AS WRITTEN to be eligible to win. I do and will disqualify folks who fail to follow directions, so triple-check to make sure you've completed all necessary entries! **

This giveaway is open worldwide and will close on 11:59 PM (EST) on Sunday, February 11th, 2024. One (1) giveaway winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via email; no other platforms will be used to contact winners for this giveaway. Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment (btw, I'll never use your email address for any other purpose!). Anonymous commenters must identify themselves clearly so I can contact them. The contacted winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of message receipt or a new winner will be chosen.

The Soubrette Brunette's 35th Birthday Party Giveaway!

 

It's pretty surreal to think that I turn 35(?!) this week. Turning 30 felt kind of scary – mostly because of what was going on in my life at the time. But 5 years later... I feel so much calmer, so much more content, and so much more settled into myself and my life. And while societal pressures still exist, I'm not all that preoccupied with them. I'm just determined to celebrate myself and figure it all out as I go at my own pace.

I actually had a harder time figuring out the theme for this giveaway than with turning 35. (When you've hosted so many themed giveaways over the years, you start to run out of ideas.) But I finally decided to throw a party with this year's giveaway – and you're invited to celebrate with me in style!

One (1) winner will receive a birthday party-themed prize package that includes:

• Betsey Johnson "Stack of Gifts" crossbody purse
• Kate Spade cake pendant necklace
• Packed Party confetti belt bag + cake sipper
• Jenny Lemons cake-shaped hair claw
• Colourpop Feelin' Bubbly eyeshadow palette
• Lauren Conrad rose gold bow earrings
• Pastel Mickey balloon keychain
• Pink sprinkle knot headband
• Ban.do cake de-stress ball
• Vintage Parties book
• Eos birthday cake lip balm
• Pink confetti nail polish

...PLUS some extra party-themed treats!

But if you want to win, be sure to follow the rules below.

As usual, all giveaway participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you have trouble getting it to load, please try on desktop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES EXACTLY AS WRITTEN to be eligible to win. I'm funding 100% of this giveaway myself this year, so I will be a stickler about this. Triple-check to make sure you've completed all necessary entries and followed all directions. (I will disqualify you if you're missing any, sorry!) **

This giveaway is open worldwide and will close at 11:59 PM (EST) on Sunday, October 29th, 2023. One (1) winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via email; no other platforms will be used to contact winners for this giveaway. Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! Anonymous commenters must identify themselves clearly so I can contact them. The contacted winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of message receipt or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed via the widget.

The Soubrette Brunette's 10th Blogiversary Giveaway!

I cannot believe it's been 10 years since I started this blog.

Holy cow.

When I began toying with the idea of blogging, I just wanted a way to show off all my outfits and stay creative when I wasn't performing. This space still fulfills those desires, but it's become a much more important part of my life than I anticipated.

And although some things haven't changed much (like my love of pink dresses and novelty prints, for example), I look back and see a lot of growth.

Both my photos and my poses have improved a lot (thank goodness). But beyond that, my career trajectory and priorities have shifted. My relationships have grown and evolved. People have entered and exited my life. I've loved and lost. I moved into my own apartment. I started a business. I bought a house. 

Things look different than I thought they would. But I'm grateful for that. And I'm grateful that you've joined me on the journey. I can't wait to see where it takes us next.

You've come a long way, baby.

Of course, it wouldn't be a blogiversary without a big giveaway. I racked my brain for weeks to figure out what the prizes would be for this momentous occasion. Then, I thought: why not curate a prize package based on my most important memories and events from the last decade?

I think I've outdone myself with this year's prize package, if I do say so myself. It's a big giveaway for a big milestone! This awesome prize package is a little sentimental and a little symbolic – but I hope you'll love all these goodies as much as I do. 

There are prizes to represent my theatre background, my cat, my jobs, my hometown, my portrait photography business (Dear Blossom Studios), my house and garden, things I love doing (like fruit picking and going to Trader Joe's), and things I've learned, as well as my blog and the important relationships I've formed with so many brands and creatives over the years. I think it's a pretty good representation of what The Soubrette Brunette is all about. 

With that, here's a breakdown of the important stuff: what's up for grabs and how to enter the giveaway!

One (1) winner will receive:

• Kate Gabrielle white Ella cupholder purse
• $50 gift card to Heart of Haute
• Winner's choice of Sophie skirt from Timeless London
• Betsey Johnson pink camera necklace
• Rifle Paper Company floral journal
• House of Disaster house-shaped planter
• I Heart Revolution Tasty Peach eyeshadow palette
• Break an Egg!: The Broadway Cookbook
• Pink ceramic cat mug and spoon set
• "Sip Tea and Set Boundaries" sticker 
• Typewriter and telephone salt & pepper set
• Lilac flower lapel pin
• Assorted snacks from Trader Joe's

Yes, 1 person will win ALL of those prizes! But if you want to win, you need to pay attention to the following guidelines. 

As per usual, participants must enter the giveaway using the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you have trouble getting it to load, please try on desktop instead of your mobile device!)

** You MUST complete ALL REQUIRED ENTRIES to be eligible to win. I'm a stickler about this and will make sure you've done them all. I've disqualified a lot of folks in the past for not following directions! :( So be sure to triple check that you've done everything you need to! **

This giveaway is open worldwide and will close on 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, February 12, 2023. One (1) winner will be chosen at random through the widget and contacted via email (and not through any other platform). Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment; anonymous commenters must identify themselves so I can contact them! The winner must respond to my email within 48 hours of being contacted or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed via the widget. 

This giveaway is hosted and sponsored by The Soubrette Brunette, with generous contributions made by my friends at Kate Gabrielle, Heart of Haute, and Timeless London. Note that in the event of stock or availability issues, comparable prize selections may be made.

I can't thank you all enough for your support over the past decade. Best of luck and lots of love!

The Soubrette Brunette's 9th Blogiversary Giveaway! [CLOSED]

It's hard for me to believe... but I started this blog 9 years ago this month! 

My relationship with blogging (and with many of you!) goes back nearly a decade. I've made so many friends through this community. I probably wouldn't have gotten into marketing if it weren't for my blog.  And this creative outlet has been absolutely priceless. I may not have thousands upon thousands of followers or made much money from it... but I feel really thankful that I took the risk and started my blog.

Of course, as I do every February, I have to celebrate my blogiversary by giving back to you! Although I would probably still be creating and blogging even if no one else cared, it means so much more because there are people who do care! And as a thank you for being here, I'm giving away three different prizes this year! Keep reading to find out all the details.

For this year's blogiversary giveaway, there are 3 separate prizes – so you have 3 chances to win! If you're a fan of Selkie, Trixie Cosmetics, or Pusheen, you're in luck because...

I'll be giving away:

• $50 Selkie gift card
• $25 Trixie Cosmetics gift card 
  
• $25 Pusheen Shop gift card

While I love giving away physical prizes, I opted to go with gift cards this year for the sake of both convenience and variety. These are all digital gift cards, which means they can be sent via email and enjoyed right away! These are also 3 of my favorite brands at the moment and I'm excited for 3 followers to win something special. 

As always, you'll need to enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below. (If you're having trouble, please try on desktop! I've heard a few people have issues with this on mobile.) 

Just like my last giveaway, you will need to complete ALL ENTRIES in order to be eligible to win. (Yes, I will check to make sure you've done them all! Don't risk disqualification!)

One (1) winner will be chosen for each of the aforementioned prizes at random. That means 3 winners will be selected in total, 1 for each prize. *Note that I cannot accommodate requests for specific prizes – it's all the luck of the draw!* In the unlikely event of availability issues, comparable selections may be made. Limit 1 prize per winner.

This giveaway is open worldwide and will run from now until 11:59 PM (EST) on Monday, February 7, 2022. Giveaway winners will be chosen through the widget and contacted via email. Remember to include a valid email address in your blog post comment! I will never contact giveaway winners via any other method. Winners must respond to the email within 48 hours of being contacted or a new winner will be chosen. Once confirmed, winners will be displayed via the widget.
