Pierrepont Hicks FW 2012 + A Giveaway!

**closed**

In honor of H and my fourth anniversary (FOURTH ANNIVERSARY!) @mrsphicks offered me this amazeballs Spider tie to give away to one lucky reader.

Okay, so maybe the giveaway actually has nothing to do with our anniversary. Maybe Katherine just wanted to show off the new collection.

Anyhoo.

Leave a comment below (why you like ties, or why you like men in ties, or why you like women in ties, or just "Pick me!") by 12pm PST on Aug 20 and I'll select a winner at random.

Giveaway: Catbird candle

**now closed**

I never do giveaways. Okay, almost never. I only ever give away things that I would want.

The Catbird candle comes in six scents, including Campfire (woodsmoke, saddle leather & honey) and Tarot Deck (incense, turkish rose & pencil shavings). PENCIL SHAVINGS.

Head over to the Catbird blog and read about all six, then come back and leave a comment (with your email address) telling me which one sounds most enticing to you. The winner, to be chosen at random a week from today, will receive a large candle in the scent of her choice.

HOW COOL IS THAT?

I have connections, people.

______________________________

p.s. May I just also say that I'm so stoked these are available in a travel size? No honeymooner should leave home without a travel candle or two.

**Random.org has spoken. Kristy (#78) wins the candle! Now she has to decide which one she wants.**

Mkay, I never do this. But....

In the spirit of the recession, because this came from someone I trust, and because I know TTO would approve, why the f*ck not?

If you're getting married in LA sometime between March 26th and April 16th and you don't have a caterer (why the f*ck don't you have a caterer?? get your shit together) read on: 

We are looking for couples in their 20s and 30s who are getting married between 26th March and 16th April this year in the Los Angeles area and have yet to organise the caterers for their sit-down wedding dinner. 

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity - we want to film your wedding for a new TV series and provide the food on the big day for free (and to top it all off, there may be an appearance from a celebrity guest)! 

Please email us photos, details of wedding date and venue, numbers at your sit down meal, along with your contact details.  freefoodwedding@gmail.com 

Is this bride not a dead ringer for Courtney Cox? And p.s. why is there no wine in her glass?? Photo from LA SmogShoppe wedding by Jonathan Canlas via Snippet & Ink.

p.s.

You have until midnight tomorrow to enter the Jezebel giveaway.

And you might want to just go ahead and buy a box of these cards. Wouldn't they be rad for wedding thank-yous? (Blank on the inside with the title printed on the back cover. Envelopes are translucent, ready-to-mail vellum.)

Jezebel giveaway

the perfect ring for the picnic wedding

I'm still a little bitter that I didn't win this giveaway. Shouldn't I have the earrings that go with my wedding china?

But I owe {this is glamorous} a thank you for leading me to Jezebel.

She says the rose gold ant ring (pictured) is intended for your pinkie, but why couldn't it be an engagement ring, or even a wedding band? I love the way the ants are kissing with their antennae.

p.s. Tune in next week for a Jezebel giveaway of the paper variety. Suddenly I'm a giveaway fiend!

my first giveaway!

***closed***

I haven't done this before because honestly I would never give something away that I didn't want myself.

But when Christina Richards emailed to tell me how much she likes the blog (Ihavethecoolestreaders) and I discovered that she just opened an etsy shop, I begged her to let me do a giveaway.

So go visit crPhotography. Then come back and tell us which photo is your favorite. Or if you're really really lazy and you happen to love Bubbles (pictured) feel free to leave a comment right now.

The winner (to be chosen at random a week from today) will receive the fine art print of her choice.
