I'm extremely honored and touched to have been nominated in two categories for the 2012 Bloggies (I call them the Academy Awards of blogging). I'm nominated for Best Fashion or Beauty Blog, as well as Best Designed Blog. Considering I didn't hire a designer to create my blog's design (everything you see here is from scratch, by my tiny little brain, somehow), I'm totally freaking out overjoyed. I'm in great company, and it would be an absolute honor to have your vote. Voting ends February 24th, and it's actually extremely easy to vote for your favorites. Click here to vote »

Pick your poison

I've also started a weekly newsletter - if you're not interested in getting posts every day that they post, you can sign up for the weekend newsletter, which will highlight the week's posts and include a little blurb about my thoughts from this week's posts and events. I like to think of it as a "set it and forget it" type of email - you don't get bothered but just once a week, and if you forget to stop by any week, this'll help you determine if it's worth visiting. ;) (Of course, I hope you'll think it is).

PSS Takes Over Buried BaubleWhat fun this was! This week I picked out not one but FOUR buried baubles for the uber-popular $10 bargain that hits inboxes every Friday. My choices must have been pretty popular--the site crashed and Bauble Bar scrambled to get everything working again in record time. Check it out »

8 Luxurious & Fashionable iPad CasesLast but not least, I rounded up a handful of amazing, gorgeous, luxurious iPad cases. Admittedly, I don't see the practicality of buying a case that costs more than the iPad it's protecting, but there's a forthcoming "Part 2" post that will feature wallet-friendly (but fashionable!) cases.
