Sequin Saunter

http://atrailofsequins.blogspot.com/2011/11/trail-head.html
This might be a meander. There are 3 things to talk about with this post but I have no clever ways to sew them together.
1. The anniversary of my blog
2. A little giveaway to say thank you
3. A few things to show if you're considering them at 50% off.
First thing, first. I wore full-on sequins to work.
Sorry if I'm offending your good senses, it's a tradition for my blog anniversary I suppose. Factory draped sequin tee. Factory skinny jean in black. Madewell heartdot boyshirt. Clifton booties also worn here.
Next, let's get to the fun stuff.
To celebrate 2 years with you and 100+1 followers (from what I can tell), I'm giving away a $25 J.Crew gift card.
Second prize is a bottle of lavender hydrosol, one of my most favorite things. Described as sweet and happy, a light spritz (OK even if wearing makeup) makes me calmed and refreshed.
Botanical Insights is the sister-in-law of a colleague and she lives by a field of lavender. Sigh. Sounds lovely.
Third prize is a Factory umbrella that I hope you don't mind me limiting to the U.S. and maybe Canada due to possible shipping challenges. I'll find a good substitute if you're an international winner. 
Here's how to enter ... please leave a comment for each of the following by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Nov. 10:
1. If you're a follower
2. If you add me to your blog roll
3. If you tell me why you should have another entry (1 per person).
Be sure to leave your email if I can't contact you through your profile.
I will generate a couple random numbers for the winners and announce with a post on Nov. 12. (I hope I haven't forgotten anything important that makes a mess of this.)
 Third stop: J.Crew's 50% off end-of-season styles.
pattern is more subtle IRL. I like them.
Liberty toothpick jean in Matilda tulip floral- fits like the other Liberty printed jeans, the pattern has a tendency to add some width,
which could be why they are still around?
 Ruffled rhinestone top - I'm wearing petite 00 and with the Collection café capri in Ratti regatta print. I like the top with a jacket,
A close-up of the bedazzling. IRL the blue "jewels" are more like sapphires, they don't photograph true.
 
I've come to a dead end so I'll say bye for now. :)

    Hey TR! Congrats on the Blogversary!!!

    I thought of you yesterday, as I was looking for some new tee shirts to replace some old ones and found a couple of sequin embellished tshirts for the holidays (daughter stole both, as critters were involved as well!) I did manage to purchase and keep a black cardigan with sequined pockets and a lovely pink sweatshirt-style sweater with pink sequin elbow patches from one of our local shops. Not expensive or an heirloom, but so fun for the holiday season: http://www.smartset.ca/Sweater-with-glitter-elbow-patches/723476,default,pd.html?dwvar_723476_color=MORNING%20MIST&start=4

    Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for hosting the giveaway!

      Hi Wendy, thanks so much! Isn't it funny how we think of our blog friends? I think of you too when I wear my Paris t-shirt, will have to show you. The little sequin elbow patches are funny and adorable, I just saw they added a couple more colors.

      I hope you're having a great weekend and it'll be fun to see who the winners are in a couple days.

    Happy Blogversay! I don't have a blog roll and I'm afraid to mess with my template. Last time I did I trashed my header and reordered most of my posts. I love lavender any/everything. I only own 1 sequined top. Wow, I'm seriously underprivileged in the sparkle department.

    Congrats on your 1 year bloggiversary!
    I love the Ratti pants - so colourful yet chic! Also thrilled that you wore sequins to work!
    I'd love to be entered into your prize draw, but would certainly not expect you to ship the umbrella if I won it!
    I follow you, and I'm almost certain that your blog is on my blog roll - it should be but I'll have to double check.
    Err, and I should have a double entry because I'm on a shopping ban and so need that voucher (love lavender too!)

      Thanks, ruth! You most certainly have three entries because you have a great reason for an extra and I'm on your blog roll indeed. We'll see what happens with the winners, I put up the prizes without thinking through how well things will ship, or even if they could be shipped. A worthy substitute will come about if you win, I promise. But I wish everyone could enjoy the lovely lavender, I'd send one to every person if I could.
