Blogoversary party: giveaway

Happy one year birthday to my little blog! What a fun year it's been! Also a year of changes. I've had 2 1/2 boyfriends, 2 jobs, 2 apartments...

UPDATE: ha! Many questions in the comment section about my 1/2 boyfriend. No he wasn't short! And yes, he was "the starbucks guy." Just someone who never had the official boyfriend title but I dated pretty much exclusively for a bit.

ANYWAY, I decided it would be fun to celebrate with my first ever giveaway:
It's actually a funny story how I came in possesion of this cute Kate Spade cosmetic bag. I ordered an adorable pair of gold sequin flats back in December and two boxes arrived instead of one. The second box had the shoe order form and this bag.
I called Kate Spade about 4 times trying to figure out what to do and each time they said they would email me a label to send it back. After 3 months of waiting and calling I have decided the bag is all mine (or all yours as the case may be.)
The tag says it's worth $70 and it's got a pretty adorable poppy print:

So here are the rules:

1. You must be a follower of glammed if you do, glammed if you don't.
2. You must be a resident of the United States.
3. Enter by leaving a comment about anything you want. Your favorite color, animal, Disney character, number, Backstreet Boy, 80's cartoon, season, Melissa Joan Heart show, etc. (You get the point.)

I'll randomly select a winner next Wednesday, March 3, 2010.

Good luck!

  11. Is the half Starbucks guy?

    And best MJH (yes I just gave her an awesome NPH like reference) show is Clarissa Explains It All. I always wanted a best friend like Sam. Plus she had a pet alligator in a sandbox in her bedroom, which was just weird.

    And this isn't really an entry into your giveaway. Since we are real friends, not just blog friends, it would be weird if I actually won.

  22. Happy Blogoversary/Blogobirthday/Blogowhatever! I am a follower on Google AND on Twitter. You are one of my favorite new blog finds (you are not new, but my finding you is). And because of you and your NYE top hat from Claire's, I will be sporting a green top hat and possibly also a green tiara for St. Patrick's Day parade this year.

  23. I've been a follower for awhile :)

    Cute bag. I want it. I once had something like that happen to me, only it was a second pair of tights from J Crew (I'd only ordered one pair). I kept them.

    I loved me some David the Gnome as a child.

  27. This is a fabulous bag! I'm in need of a new cosmetics bag for spring, sigh!

    So, I'm a follower, a US resident and citizen. I love how you called your guy a 1/2 boyfriend that's hysterical! Random thing to share is that my little Lionhead rabbit is going through is first huge shed and is actually changing body shape and everything; and I'm scared! Seriously! He is 1 year old, and has lost his entire mane, and his hips, which used to be wide, are now slender! All of this has occurred during the past 2 weeks. I have no idea what he is going to look like when he is finished!

    ReplyDelete
  28. okay i don't really want to enter the giveaway because i'm running out of places for purses but i wanted to say happy blogoversary!! woo! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm surprised Kate Spade dropped the ball on this one! Adorable cosmetic bag. I have a trip to California coming up this year - wouldn't this be fun to use!

    Let's see ... my first celebrity crush was on Jordan Knight of New Kids on the Block. And my first real-life crush was on Peter in first grade. He and I would make friendship bracelets for each other during our class free time.
