Giddy Giveaway: Ready, Set, Jetset! Win an Oil Cloth Bag Stuffed with Goodies!

This month's Giddy Giveaway combines a few of my favorite things: Travel, Color, Whimsy and Smelling Good.

These wonderful little oil cloth make-up bags are from Emmilee Designs. Be sure to check out her cute shop, especially with Christmas around the corner. (Who can't find a use for a waterproof zippered bag?) She generously sent along a few extras to giveaway to y'all. (Thanks Emmilee!)

I filled them up with travel sizes of some great products that I hope you'll enjoy on your next trip- or on a stay-cation spa date with yourself! I love small sizes because you can try something new without committing to a whole bottle (there is probably a Zsa Zsa Gabor-esque one liner in there about ex-husbands if you care to hunt for it.) And with travel sizes, you can carry on- no small thing for a jet setter! Preparation and Ease are the jet setter's secret weapons. How else could one emerge from the cattle cart of coach unrumpled and unmussed?

To enter, please do leave me a comment describing a travel moment that made you feel like a Jet Setter (or at the very least, a glamorous Air Hostess circa 1965!) Don't forget to include your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you if you are a lucky winner. Please leave a thoughtful entry since I'll be picking my favorite comments to win. There are 6 fabulous prizes, so don't forget to tell your friends!

For bonus entries, you can follow me on Twitter, join my Facebook fan page and or visit my Etsy Shop and let me know which item is your favorite. Please leave a separate comment letting me know about each entry.

Thanks for being members of my little blog. I love hearing from each of you and these contests are such a fun way to get the conversations rolling!

Cheers!

So Much Fabulousness!

This month's Giddy Giveaway came about via some serendipitous googling. Turns out the interweb is full of Fabulous Misses. In this case, MissBFab! She e-mailed to say hello to The Fab Miss B and offered some goodies from her posh accessories line to you, my wonderful readers. Here are the goods!




To enter, pop over to MissBFab and pick your favorite item, then come back and leave a comment here telling us where you'd wear it. (I love this studded bracelet- I'd wear one on each wrist Cleopatra style!) I'll announce the lucky winner in a few weeks. Good Luck Sweets!

Re-Styled Scented Soaps with the Fab Miss B

I found some fancy scented soaps (one of my weaknesses in life) on super sale at Pier 1, but the packaging left a lot to be desired. I decided to give them a boutique style make-over.



If you'd like to join in the DIY fun, you'll need some fancy pants soaps (easy to find at Marshall's or World Market), some pretty coordinating papers, (mine are by Martha from vile Michaels. Despite my protestations, I can never seem to ditch that scoundrel. He treats me terribly and I always come back for more.) Scissors, and trusty scotch tape.

If your soaps aren't wrapped in plastic, you may want to wrap them in tissue to prevent markings on the decorative paper.

You'll also need coordinating ribbons, that good old Sharpie and some pretty labels. Copy the names of the fragrances onto the pretty labels in your best handwriting, and don't be afraid to make them sound fancier if need be. Mine were already in Italian (I think?).


Now don't those look prettier? Just wrap them like ordinary presents, making sure to fold the corners neatly and secure the ribbon with the sticky label. Voila- boutique style soaps for $1.15 each. More proof that fab and thrifty aren't mutually exclusive. Look for at least a few of these in my next Giddy Giveaway!

XO-

Miss B

Never Let Me Go Giveaway!

Have you heard the buzz about the new film "Never Let Me Go"? I absolutely loved Carey Mulligan in "An Education". (I suspect her pixie cut is inspiring a lot of actresses to chop their locks!)

Never Let Me Go is based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the celebrated author behind "The Remains of the Day". It's set in a dystopian British boarding school in which the students are set apart from the outside world for a mysterious purpose that is slowly unveiled as the story progresses through the relationships of three students. I can't wait to see it.

Today's giveaway includes some fabulous loot!

Film Poster signed by director Mark Romanek, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield

A Copy of the Book by Kazuo Ishiguro

A Never Let Me Go T-Shirt

To enter to win these fabulous prizes, visit The Never Let Me Go website and leave me a comment describing the best movie you've seen lately and what made it so memorable. I will choose my favorite response at the end of the week, so please make your entries thoughtful. Don't forget to include your e-mail address so I can reach you if you are the lucky winner!

You can also follow me on Facebook and Twitter so that you'll never miss one of my Giddy Giveaways! Good Luck Sweeties!

The Winner of $100 with CSN Stores is...

The lucky winner of The $100 CSN Stores Giveaway is the lovely and talented Rachel! She picked this chandelier as her favorite and said:
