Sponsored Post: Dolce Vita

Alright shoe lovers, it's time to make some room in your closets. In case you haven't heard, Dolce Vita is giving away 1000 pairs of shoes this month through their LoveFest campaign on Facebook. I think Wednesday was the halfway point for the month, and since they've been giving away 50 pairs of shoes per day, I'm going to guess and say they have something like 400 more to giveaway. 400! That means you still have a good chance.

I just received the Jamison boots in taupe last week and have nothing but good things to say. They're so similar to this pair from Madewell that I drooled over for nearly a year. Such a great addition to my closet.

Be sure to sign up so you can win a pair!

Congratulations to Jamie Rose from Petite Panoply for winning The Parader's $40 giveaway. The Parader's will be contacting you shortly with information about your prize.

Giveaway: The Paraders

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've been able to bring any giveaways to the blog. To make up for it, this month I've lined up a handful of really great prizes from a few of my sponsors. To kick it all off, Rachel from The Paraders is offering a $40 giftcard to her etsy shop. To enter, you must be a follower of The Paraders blog, and for additional entries you can follow The Paraders on Facebook and Twitter. And, this isn't required but if you just need a little reason to smile today, listen to her latest playlist on 8tracks titled Get Your Beehives Ready. It's guaranteed to put you in a good mood!

My favorite thing in her shop right now is hands down this 50s yellow coat with the perfect western arrow details. I'd like to say that it was influenced by all the hype around what would have been Roy Rogers 100th birthday, but I can't lie. I'd wear subtle cowboy details even if I didn't have a good excuse.

Urban Walls Giveaway

Today I teamed up with Urban Walls to bring you a giveaway for the home! Urban Walls is an etsy shop that designs awesome wall decals to customize your home. They've got clouds and birds and planes, good for kids rooms and zen places, but my favorites would have to be the repeated, abstract circles. They have such a 60s vibe to them! They're offering one of my readers $50 to their shop and to win, all you have to do is 'like' them on facebook (don't forget to leave a comment letting me know that you did so).

Now I'm off to get ready for a birthday lunch with my mom! And, while I'm thinking about it, happy birthday to the blog too! She's 2 today. :)

I think my favorite thing in there right now is the vintage service bell (which only makes me want to hum this song). I love this satin pillowcase that she's offering to my readers, too. It seems like the perfect thing to add to a parlor room (if you have one of those). If not, I'm sure it would look just as good in the den! :)

Giveaway: Paloma Vintage

Today's giveaway comes from a great little etsy shop and my newest sponsor, Paloma Vintage. Paloma is ran by one of my most dedicated readers, Nancy, who also has a blog called The Sway Report! I'm pretty sure Nancy and I fancy the same things, and I am just pleased as punch to have her as a sponsor this month.

I know that clothes seem to be my weakness on this blog, but my real weakness lies in *anything* kitten inspired. It may be a little cat-ladyish, but if I needed a door knocker, I'd most definitely want it to be just like the one in Nancy's shop! I tell you, that Monkeycat sure did open up my heart to a kitty obsession.

Enough about kittens though. This is a giveaway! Nancy chose to offer up one of the embroidered shirts above. The one on the left will fit a M-XL and the one on the right will fit a S-L. And you know the drill. To enter, visit Paloma Vintage and tell us your favorite item. Don't forget to add the shop to your favorites while you're there, and be sure to leave your email address. Best of luck!

Congratulations to Amber of Latress on the Menjay. You're the winner of The Flight of Thought greeting card giveaway.

Christmas Card Giveaway

I know I have a bad habit of saying that every single giveaway is my favorite – and I genuinely like everything that I agree to giveaway – but this giveaway more than any other takes the cake! It's not just because they're adorable Christmas cards that any girl would love to receive, but it's because they were created by my super amazing, beautiful, and talented sister, Kristi.

I'm so thrilled to see that she's using her artistic talents again. She just opened a new etsy store for her greeting cards called The Flight of Thought and she's decided to keep making cards for all kinds of occasions throughout the year!

To win this set of cards, all you have to do is add Kristi's shop to your favorites on Etsy! Be sure to leave a comment with your email address. I'll draw a winner at the end of the week. Keep in mind that the more cards you buy, the more Christmas presents I'll get. ;) Just kidding. xo!

Congratulations to Talluah! You're the winner of the Five and Two giveaway.
