Fashion Friday

Alright, so one of my goals for the year is to buy a tripod and learning to take better self-portraits and I figured what better way to do that than to add a new series to the blog?  So here goes, the first of hopefully many Fashion Fridays.  

This dress is actually from the kids section at Target (shameful I know) and is Liberty made for Target.  I think it was about $12.  I just adore the fun paisley pattern.  And while I know it's quite Spring-ish for the middle of January, the temperature was about 80 degrees that day, so everyone was sporting their springy best.  Ah, life in California!  

Cardigan: Gap;  Shoes:Target;   Necklace: gift from my mom;   Hair clips: Red Ribbon Fox

What We Did on New Year's Eve

It was a nice and quiet affair...The boy and I spent New Year's Eve at my brother's place, eating food with our friends and playing Apples to Apples.  It was really fun.  And even despite the low-key festivities I still did my hair in a festive up-do and donned a glitter star crown.  Cause if not on New Years when is a better time to wear a star crown?

Hope you had a fun and safe evening too! 

Giveaway Winner!

Well, I must say that I considered calling off this silly giveaway due to the fact that only 2 people entered!  Totally sad.

But I suppose it just makes the odds better for my two contestants...And it allows me to pick them with a simple "Heads or Tails" flip of a coin!  Very No Country for Old Men, huh?  So heads for commentor #1, tails for commenter #2.

So then, without further ado, the winner of this gorgeous velvet bow from my shop is.....

Jennifer from Crazy Shenanigans!  Way to go!    But I will also be sending a special consolation prize to my other candidate Kaycie from Redhead Memories. 

Thanks for playing ladies! 

Holiday Cheer Hair Accessories Giveaway

I've been in the mood to create some really fun and seasonal hair accessories.  It started as just something I wanted to do for myself (like making things that I can wear to upcoming holiday events, but then, I thought, what the hell?  I'm going to make some extras for my Red Ribbon Fox Shop!  A shop I've been ignoring for some time now.  And so now Red Ribbon Fox is finally updated!  But I have even more to add, cause I have made a lot of things, but I'm just not so good at the actual posting part, ya know?

ANNNDDD I also thought this would be the perfect time to giveaway one of my festive hair bows for some extra holiday cheer!  Win this lovely avocado green, velvet ribbon bow:

All you need to do is leave a comment below with your name, your favorite holiday song and a way to contact you should you win.  If you have your email linked to your profile that will work.  Additionally, you must follow this blog either by google friend connect or bloglovin'.   I am really close to having 200 followers and it would be so cool to reach that goal before the year is out!

For extra entries you can blog, tweet or facebook post a link to the giveaway, but be sure you leave a comment for each extra entry you do. I'll announce the winner on Wednesday of next week. 

Good Luck!

Oh and for more fun, here is a little video I made in honor of this momentous occasion!
