Today is Whatever Wednesday, which means random topics of conversation!
The Coach Poppy Project
I am sure you’ve noticed that crazy poppy pattern on the left side of your screen, and have probably seen it all over the web by now. If you aren’t already familiar with it: it’s a great way to check out new blogs and win fabulous prizes from Coach’s new Poppy line!
The more you visit, tweet and share a site’s pattern, the more unique it will grow, and the more chances you will have to win a prize. At the end of the project, the top-ranked site will win a special gift: a $2,500 Coach shopping spree.
- Tweet with the hashtags #coachpoppy #beautifullyinv to make the poppy pattern on my site bloom and grow. Be creative – you can add things like #hearts and #stars and who knows what else to the pattern as well.
- If you see a Coach Poppy bag show up in the pattern it is your lucky day – click on the bag to win a special prize!
- The more you tweet with my hashtag, the more chances you will have to win on my site!
- The same is true for other participating sites – if you tweet with their individual hashtags, you might be able to win a prize on their blog.
- You can also grow all the participating patterns by liking the project on facebook.
- Most importantly, “follow the trail” and check out the other participating sites. I have discovered a couple of blogs I really like so far by doing so!
- Check out the line. There are some great products! I am seriously coveting everything below.
Stylish Blogger Award
I don’t know how long blogs are usually considered to be “new” in the blogosphere, but I still consider mine to be fairly “new.” I am still in awe each time I get a new follower or receive a new comment, and am so happy to be connecting with people through my ramblings!
I want to send a special thank you to A Brit Greek for including me amongst her Stylish Blogger Award recipients last week. This award means a lot to me, and I am extremely touched you thought of me! I don’t quite know if I deserve it as much as the other bloggers you included, but I am honored you feel I do!
Now to pass on that love. I don’t think I am supposed to give the award back to A Brit Greek (but I would in an instant!) so here are my picks for the Stylish Blogger Award:
- fashion butter
- grit and glamour
- I am Style-ish
- Jen Loves Kev
- lizzypunch
- The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower
- The Wardrobe Wars
Congrats ladies – you all deserve this award and many more!
Blogroll Update
I finally got around to updating my blogroll the other day. Please let me know if you have me on yours and I neglected to add you to mine.
Random Question of the Day
The end of summer is quickly approaching, and I still need to figure out where to go for vacation this year (if anywhere). In my dream world I’d love to go to New Zealand. Unfortunately, I think I am going to have to settle for someplace more local this year.
If you could wave a magic wand and be anywhere – where would you go?
Finally, I leave you with another dash of inspiration
Here is a shot of the lovely Cintia Dicker from the September issue of Marie Claire France.
Hope you are having a lovely Wednesday!
