✌ ☮ GIVEAWAY ☮ ✌ - ROMWE shorts, just because!

I've been a very bad girl lately ... in blogging terms that is! I haven't been blogging as regularly as I should have and as a thank you for sticking around, here's a little giveaway for you dear followers!

I'm giving away this ROMWE aztec print denim shorts which comes with detachable straps which you can style in so many different ways! I've prepared a few Polyvore sets just to give you some ideas. Even though it may at first look a bit summery, the shorts can also work as a transition piece paired up with sweaters or a light leather jacket and boots.

We have a winner!

As you will know, during the last week, I ran a giveaway on my Facebook page to celebrate the first year of this blog.

I know I am still a long way to go from having this blog as one of the established and more followed ones on the island, but I'm very happy with my lot as it is. I love the quality of the feedback I get and when I met people who tell me they read my blog ... and actually refer to something I'd have written even weeks before! I have no words to thank you all for this! 

So back to the giveaway ... 

The giveaway was kindly sponsored by one of my favourite local names, MVintage Jewels, and ran until Saturday 7th at noon (CET). 

Having planned a quick trip to the shops in the morning, which took a tad longer than expected (quelle surprise), I got to announce the winner a little later than hoped! Anyway, thanks to Rafflecopter (which I strongly recommend to any blogger wanting to organise a giveaway), all it took was the click of a button and hey presto! 

The giveaway winner is Elle from Beautyshewrote! I was very pleased to find a fellow blogger won the necklace as it shows how strong the sense of community among bloggers is, following each other, supporting each other through the various posts, including giveaways! 

Huge thanks to all who have followed my blog over the past year and please keep following and tell your friends about it! I promise to keep up the efforts and hard work and to bring you more interesting reads as the days, weeks and months roll by. If there are any topics you'd like me to write about or have any suggestions or questions, please give me a shout in the comments section below or my Facebook page xx 

we are ONE! ✩ giveaway post ✩

One year old that is! Well, almost!

This blog saw its birth on September 3rd, 2012 and since then, if you've been following closely, you will have seen some changes in format, style, and even content ... I don't like to think of this as being something to be ashamed of.  Yes, my moods are somewhat volatile at times and while one day I'm all into neons and brights, the next day I'm in the mood for gothic burgundies and blacks.  I like to see this blog as a reflection of my personality and what I would be going through ... thereby giving you a little window into my world.  And I do hope that you are enjoying the view!

So, since as you well know, I'm on a diet at the moment, rather than baking cupcakes and blowing candles to celebrate this milestone, I'm throwing a giveaway for you dear followers who have stuck by me during this year: a year which has seen me follow my heart to a different country, experience my first white Easter (it was a consolation prize for not having a white Christmas!), deal with monthly jet-setting and return to the motherland with a much changed perspective on life.

The gorgeous people at MVintage Fashion Jewels have gently sponsored this giveaway and we have this beautiful petite bib necklace up for grabs.

It is perfectly on trend with the curb chain details and the red highlights, making it a perfect complement to both casual and smarter outfits, especially for the upcoming season.  How do you get in with the chance of winning this stunner? Very simple!

Head over to my Facebook page here, click on the Giveaway tab, and just follow the simple steps on screen.  Real simple, isn't it?! And to make it even simpler, you can even participate directly from this blog post through the widget at the end!

The giveaway opens on Saturday 31st August 2013 at noon (CET) and runs till Saturday 7th September 2013 at noon (CET), and winner will be announced within 48 hours.

Before I close, I would like to say a huge THANK YOU and send a lot of virtual hugs to all of you who have been following my blog, have commented on, liked, or shared my posts.  YOU are the people who give me the encouragement to keep going with this venture.  Without YOU, I wouldn't be here right now, so THANK YOU once again!
