Giveaway | Matching Aprons

Remember this post, where I shared our Valentine's day twinning aprons? Well, I got such an overwhelming response I decided to try and hunt down something similar to give to one of my readers! Luckily, I was able to find one adult and one child size apron with a very similar feel & style. 

The giveaway is actually going on over on my Instagram account (so head there to participate), but if you don't have Insty and would still like to join in on the fun...I've got you covered. Just leave a comment below telling me why you'd love to win this set. That's it! Winner announced Saturday morning here on the blog, and as always, thank you so much for reading and supporting what I do. It means the world to me.

Hooray For Christmas Giveaway

I've always enjoyed searching for that one Christmas gift I knew the recipient would truly love. Seeing their excitement as they opened their gift made me excited. That's what shopping for this holiday giveaway reminded me of. Purchasing each item and really thinking about what would look good on the winner (whoever she may be) was such a fun process. As you can imagine, our #hoorayforchristmas fund was not massive. With family, friends and two babes on the nice list, this elf still has some serious shopping left to do. Having said that, I really wanted to make sure this was something special. Every item is one I wear on a regular basis and know you (and your mom, best girlfriend, sister...whoever!) will love as much as I do. Isn't that where it's really at anyway? Not how much you spend, but the thought behind it? (Cliff's Notes answer: yes.)

 If you follow the blog you've seen me rock theses accessories countless times, but the newbie on the block is this dual sided pearl earring set. I've been eyeballing it online for a while, but randomly stumbled across them at Nordstrom the other day on an unrelated trip. I picked up one for myself, and knew I had to get a pair for you as well! I'm especially excited about gifting this blanket scarf because as I mentioned yesterday, it's amazing and next to impossible to track down. So here it is...

For YOU

1. Dual sided pearl earrings - Nordstrom.

2. Round frame sunglasses - Nordstrom. 

3. Plaid blanket scarf - Target. 

For a FRIEND

4. Necklace and matching earrings (earrings not pictured) - c/o SUO Boutique.

5. Round frame sunglasses - Nordstrom.

For the official rules and how to enter (this one is reeeally easy) check out my #hoorayforchristmas giveaway post on Instagram. You can find my profile HERE.

I'll randomly select the winner and announce it on Thursday. Good luck and merry Christmas.

Genuinely Made Giveaway + Savvy Style

 I don't know if you noticed in yesterday's post, but this little girl was sporting some really cute hair accessories. Like, reeeeally cute thanks to Genuinely Made. Prior to finding these quality leather hair bows and bands, I had always had a love hate relationship with them. My little peanut has a pretty small head, so headbands normally slip right off. I've also noticed so many of our bow clips either fall apart or don't have the alligator teeth to really fasten to her fine hair. Mama's, you feel me? I thought so...

Enter Genuinely Made. I'm so excited to have finally found really cute and well made stuff for Savvy. I feel like that never ending search for modern hair accessories is over. In addition, I got to the opportunity to get to know my girl Azlyn, a sweet mama and GM's owner. I asked her to share a little about herself and GM. Here's what she said:

"I officially opened Genuinely Made Shop on June 1, 2014. I have always had an itch for designing and being creative, and that's what keeps me going! I love the idea of working from home and being around my baby girl, yet also being able to contribute to our finances. When my daughter was born, I was given a lot of hair bows but no headbands, and go figure...she was pretty bald! So I decided to make a few of my own. I bought a bag of scrap leather and started making bows with different patterns and sizes. I try and satisfy every mommy out there, so I offer a range of colors from flashy metallics, to neutrals, and patterns. I also try my best to make my hair accessories as secure as possible, because lets face it, kids like to play hard! All the bows and headbands are as connected as they can be without any weird wires, ties, or clips They are ALL bow! What you see in the shop is what you will get in your mailbox! I especially appreciate all my fans and followers, without them I could never do any of this; I could have never tried out this dream of mine. Thank you!" 

I've teamed up with Azlyn and Genuinely Made to offer a mama + me giveaway on Instagram! We are giving away one black and white pinstripe bow clip, and one b+w pinstripe headband. (See the photo above for a closer look.) It's really simple, all you have to do to enter is:

1) Follow both my Instagram as well as Genuinely Made.

2. Like my giveaway posts on Instagram.

3. Repost the image. Be sure to hashtag #hoorayforgm so we can see your entry. 

4. Tag 3 friends in your repost who would enjoy these accessories so they can enter as well!

*Remember: If you don't use the hashtag #hoorayforgm we won't be able to see your entry!

That's it! I'll list these instructions under the comments section on the Insty post as well. Just head to my Instagram to get started! We will randomly select the lucky winner and announce on Friday! Contest ends 10/17/14.

It's GIVEAWAY Time!

Can I tell you guys a little secret? I'm not very good at waiting. I know, it's a horrible trait that won't get you anywhere in life, but I just can't help it. When I found out SUO Boutique was going to host a giveaway for my readers, I couldn't wait to share it with all of you! Well, the big day is finally here and I don't have to contain my excitement any longer. Without further ado...THE BAG:

I photographed this bag with my outfit from yesterdays post, so you could see it in action! You have all seen me rock a very similar style that I picked up from SUO almost a year ago - here, here, and at the bottom of the post here. I love this bag. I mean I really, really love this bag. It's small enough to feel dressy and easy to carry, but deceivingly large on the inside. I don't travel lightly and this bag more than meets my needs. It also comes with a cross body strap which makes it super convenient. An absolute essential for a mama on the go, or just someone who doesn't like to fuss with a clutch or handbag. See below for details on how to enter, and be sure to share this sweet opportunity with your friends. (although on second thought, you might want to keep this one under wraps...better odds!)
