How terrible am I?!? I won TWO generous giveaways and have not blogged about them 🙁
WAAAAAY back in October I won an amazing prize from The Girlie Blog – in fact it was her very FIRST giveaway! I was super excited to be lucky enough to win this fabulous prize:
I just love the details of the box!
Look how cute – tulips are my favorite flower 🙂
I thought the backing of the earring was really unique.
And here they are on! They’re so cute and simple and at the same time I feel glamorous knowing I’m wearing something to luxurious!
Thank you again to Designer Apparel and to The Girlie Blog :)
I was ALSO incredibly lucky enough to win Kelly’s Tim Gunn book giveaway. I still have NOT had a chance to read it, but I have some time off work so I hope to cuddle up with it soon!
Lastly I was tagged to do my New Year’s Resolutions by the always on top of things (so opposite of me! 😛 ) Jessy of The Little Dust Princess. I thought that I’d better get to this one NOW before New Year’s comes and goes!
1. Find a tailor. Ummmm – yeah I STILL don’t have one! I also have a pile of jeans, pants and some dresses just WAITING to be worn!
2. Take outfit pictures everyday. I think this will help me stay on top of my blogging AND help me edit my wardrobe more efficiently. I’m sure not all the outfits will make it to the blog but at least this way I will have outfit pictures to choose from!
3. Cook more!! We used to have a meal plan and as silly as it sounds it worked for us beautifully! Since we moved closer to the city our lives have seemed to become more hectic. I think a meal plan will help us cook more often and save us $ too!
4. Take better care of myself. As I mentioned in #3 because life is more hectic I haven’t been seeing all my health practioners regularly. I am lucky enough to have pretty good benefits at work too and didn’t make use of them at all this year!
5. Get more sleep. I have to admit – I’ve been staying up way too late catching up on blogs and watching youtube videos as of late! I feel like if I don’t read everything I will miss out on something! Does anyone have any advice on how to “filter”? I would LOVE to be able to read and comment on everyone’s posts as I completely understand how much time it takes but it just seems like an impossible task. So as much as I don’t want to I may have to pair it down a bit 🙁
I will tag a few people to talk about their top 5 resolutions (please don’t feel obligated though!).

Louise of Cosmetic Bee
Waaah! How could I have possibly missed this? Oh no, sorry babe!
But – it’s better late than never! I shall be posting this, thank you for tagging me my dear!
Another note, did you see my give-away?
Stay Happy and Positive!
besos,

You’re going to take outfit photos every day? Wow! I look forward to 365 outfit posts in 2011! 😉
the earrings are soo cute! and I’m with you on the NYR (#1 is also my thing)
Gah, and speaking of giveaways, I promise to get a replacement prize in the mail to you asap! The holidays have just been a little mad, but I promise you it’s coming! Thanks for your sweet comment the other day! And as for my pictures, I take ’em myself! I just use a tripod and a self timer! Happy holidays!
You are so lucky! Two giveaways 🙂 Those earrings are fantastic.
Very cute earrings.
I have an amazing tailor so I know they’re worth their weight in gold. If you lived in Dublin you could go to mine but that’s probably not helpful for you so instead, I’ll wish you good luck in the meantime on your resolutions!
these earrings are super cute and i love how the back is in the shape of a little crown! and i’m right there with you in needing more sleep! i’m hoping to catch up over the holidays. i’m a sucker for reading blogs late at night too instead of sleeping!

Those earrings are SO cute! Juicy jewelry is a hit or miss in my opinion, but these ones are a definite hit! Best of luck with your resolutions… and it’s awesome that you are trying to take outfit photos everyday!
Have a lovely day!

Those earrings are so adorable! The earring backs look like little crowns. Congrats on both wins!
Great resolutions too – I’m excited to see which outfits make it to the blog!
Ooohh! Congratulations on your winnings!! I need to get more sleep too (there’s just too much fun to have to sleep 😉
Congrats on winning the prizes- cute earrings! Also, thanks for the tag – I will definitely post something re: New Year’s Resolutions!
The box and earrings are lovely. I have always wanted to sleep more but it is quite difficult with an early bird toddler who still wakes up at night and wakes up way too early 🙁
I wish I could visit and comment on blogs more often too, I haven’t been as actively involved as I wished. Still trying to figure out how to manage and balance my time and stay on top of all things.
LOVE LOVE your earrings….what a great thing to win, they are gorgeous!

The earrings are lovely! Tulips are one of my favorite flowers too. I love the box and the detailing on the earrings. I’ve never tried JC jewelry before, but I might do so now 🙂
Taking better care of myself and staying healthy are definitely resolutions of mine for the upcoming year too.
Congrats on winning 2 giveaways. Those earrings are lovely. Thanks for tagging me. I definitely have things on my New Year’s resolutions. Cook more is one of my NY’s resolutions too. Eating out costs us quite a bit and it’s not a healthy meal everyday. We’d like to sit down and have dinner as a family and it hasn’t happened for a while. I will share mine soon.
congrats on the win! those earrings are too cute. i am on the same page with you, i need to do all those things. i am in need on a good tailor for sure.
Congrats on the winnings (wow those JC earrings are AMAZING!)
I love your new year’s resolutions – I still need a more consistent tailor too…I bounce from place to place still. And I need to take outfit pictures everyday but the first thing I do when I get back from work is change into loose fitting clothes and I can’t ever wake up early enough to take pictures before work. Actually, I should really steal your new year’s resolutions as my own since they are all so practical and healthful. 🙂
Oh P.S. people in my life always say I’m on top of things. I guess it’s one of my assets. LOL
Congrats on winning both of those amazing giveaways, Elaine! 😀
#2 – I try to take outfit pics everyday so that when I run out of ideas, I just choose from the photos and make a random post. 😛 It really doesn’t take too much time, so I hope you can stick to that resolution (and the rest of them too)!! 😀
#5 – Not sure what you mean by “filter” but I organize the blogs I read by categories like “petite blogs”, “beauty blogs”, “blog shops”, etc. I suggested the use of Bloglovin’ in this post. It’s one of the easiest and best ways to follow blogs, in my opinion. : ) You should sign up! Let me know if you need help. : )

Amen to getting more sleep! I don’t get enough either!! Congrats on winning 2 giveaways! You deserve it!!
The earrings are super cute!
