Don't Hate The Player... (Blogiversary Giveaway!)

9/3/2013

Heeeey! What's up! :D Like my new hair? Sometimes, you feel like Little Richard and sometimes you don't, you know? What? Stop looking at me like that. Heh. Anyway, I'm combining a style post with a giveaway post here, so bear with me! I wanted to do something fun and colorful as a celebration of my first ever giveaway, So, I'm sporting a nerdy 80's inspired outfit and another crazy hair-do. Haha. <3
I like to think the new hair fits in somewhere among Little Richard, Janelle Monae and Vanilla Ice. :D

This Threadless gaming tee is one of my many favorites. Have you ever played a multi-player game and had one or more opponents accuse you of cheating even though you totally weren't cheating? It's awesome, isn't it? Haha! I used to play Tetrinet on line back in the day and I remember a few times when I got totally reamed by someone who thought I was cheating because I kept beating him in the game. It always makes me laugh. Best compliment ever, really. Hehe. Anyway, that's why I like this shirt so much. Don't hate the player, bros. Hate the game (and/or your lack of skill at it). Oh snap! o_O O_o

I'm also wearing some rad glasses from ModCloth! If you like them, read on! They could be YOURS!

Your Prize & Eligible Countries:

One lucky winner will receive these brand new olive glasses! These glasses were NOT gifted to me. In fact, Modcloth has nothing to do with this giveaway. I paid for these with my OWN money! I will also be paying the shipping costs. For this reason, I can only accept entries from those of you who live in the United States and Canada. I'm really sorry about this, but I'm poor. This is the best I can do!

Leave a comment on any blog post featuring the Rafflecoper widget to let me know that you entered and be sure to leave your email address in your comment! After that, just sit back, relax and check back on October 1, 2013 to see if you won! :D

Method of Choosing Winner:

The winner will be randomly chosen via the genius that is Rafflecopter. I will also randomly select two alternates in the event that the winner does not claim her prize within 72 hours of email notification.

I'll need at least 20 people to enter in order to make this competitive! So, if you want this giveaway to succeed please encourage others to participate! You know what they say: The more the merrier! <3

What are you waiting for? You should totally get all up on this, bro! :D

Thank you all for making my year so memorable and enjoyable! Special thanks to those of you who have been with me from the very beginning. You totally know who you are! ;P You've been with me through a lot of ups and downs. The year is not over, yet, though. I've still got some punches left in me!

It's My One Year Blogiversary!

I made it one whole year! Hurray! Haha :D Looking back on my style posts for the year, I am amazed at how far I have come. I was so incredibly shy about my photos that I was confined to taking them in front of my bookcase for the longest time. After that, I crept onto my balcony to take the photos and then finally, I ventured away from home and discovered some really awesome spots for my photography.

I remember when I first brought my collapsible tripod and camera out and about to chronicle an outfit I was wearing for coffee lounging. It felt so incredibly awkward and I don't even think the perspective on the photos was proper. Haha. Still, I know that when it was all over, I felt so proud that I had taken the photos without any help (and that I had managed to avoid being kidnapped in the process) Haha. :D

Anyway, without further ado, here are my favorite photos from the inception of my blog in August 2012!

Grab some snacks, sit back, relax and enjoy this little journey through memory lane. :D <3

Thank you so much for caring about the stupid crap that I wear! :P In all seriousness, when I put together outfits, I am basically just being myself. So, by having a personal fashion blog, I am essentially putting myself out there for people to literally judge me. In this regard, it is really nice to be accepted for who I am. I started this blog because I was encouraged to do so by certain people who thought I had a really nice style. It's because of those people, that I dedicated a portion of my life to this endeavor.

Without them, you would not have had this opportunity to even know me. In turn, I would not have been able to get to know so many of you! So, I'd like to thank those people: Daniel H. and Pamada K. <3

I regard so many of you as my good friends. I really do. I appreciate your acceptance and I never take your kindness for granted. This is the internet! It's so easy for people to be snarky and nasty. Thank you for being so awesome, week after week, month after month. At first, my blog was just a hobby. Now, I regard it as my way of keeping in touch with all of you: my dear friends. Thank you so very much! :D

I'll leave you with a really cool track from one of my favorite artists, Ernest St Laurent of France. If you like this song, you can listen to additional tracks and learn more about this band on my music blog.
