Starting the Party! (a Kate Spade Giveaway)
Cue the confetti! As you can see, my new site is officially launched! My long-time readers have been so patient to put up with me and my same old look for so long that I finally decided it was time for a change. And after months of planning, it’s here!
I designed it with you all in mind so you can easily find what you’re looking for when you stop by for a visit! You can find the blog posts organized by the most recently published, and you can find archived posts organized by category in the Discover section. And of course, you can always search by typing what you want in the search bar up top!
I’m super-excited that it’s finally ready, and the only thing I know that could make this better would be to have a giveaway of one of my favorite things! Sooo… I picked out this fabulous Kate Spade bag just for one of you! It’s the Kate Spade Baxter Street Marian in Robin’s Egg blue. It’s a nice large bag, in genuine leather with the classic gold-plated hardware, and it’s just gorgeous enough to make me almost regret giving it away. Just kidding, y’all! It’s my privilege to give this away and I can’t wait for one of you to get your hands on it! It’s brand new with the tags and comes with the dust cover included. (A $428 retail value!)
You can enter three ways!
- Sign up for my emails (at the bottom of this page) and then comment on this post
- Follow me on Facebook and comment on my page under the giveaway post, tagging some friends who would like to know more about this giveaway
- Follow me on Instagram and comment there under the giveaway post, tagging some friends who would like to know more about this giveaway
The giveaway will run from now until Sunday night (July 31st) at midnight, EST. I’ll announce the winner on my social networks on Monday! U.S. addresses only for this giveaway. All my personal friends and family are totally eligible, as the winner will be drawn by a third party at random. Not sponsored by or connected to Kate Spade and Company.
Enter away, y’all! Help me spread the news about the new blog and be sure to give me your own opinion of it! So glad to have you here! Let the party begin!
