Last Day to Enter Linda Fargo Contest to go to NY Fashion Week

 Today is your last chance to enter the Bergdorf Goodman contest here!!! I've been really inspired by everyone's fantastic sets, and have created some sets of my own that I would actually love to wear to NY Fashion Week.

This is what I would dress Linda Fargo in for NY Fashion Week:

Dress Linda Fargo by chicGiselle featuring a multi chain necklace

Linda Fargo by chicGiselle featuring hobo handbags

Dressing Linda Fargo: Fashion Week by chicGiselle featuring bib necklaces

Fashion Week by chicGiselle featuring vintage clothing handbags

Flutter NYC "ALBERT" Earrings

     After checking my mailbox an embarrassing amount, on Friday came my wonderful gift courtesy of Jill Golden of Flutter NYC and Dallas Shaw. What's to say about these rocking earrings, they really speak for themselves! If you want to add a certain je ne sais quoi to your outfit just pop on these bad girls and let them do the rest, and yes I've personified the earrings. To win the "Albert" earrings I had to say what I would wear with them, and my closing item Chanel 'Steel' nail polish sealed the win! The combination of the "Albert" earrings and Chanel 'Steel' ties together the 'rock-n-roll attitude'. The "Albert" earrings will definitely be making an appearance in many of my outfits to come, so thank you so much Jill Golden and Dallas Shaw for picking me to rock these earrings!

Fashion Blogger Meet Up

 Last night I was able to meet with 3 fantastic fashion bloggers from Central Florida. We met for dinner at a chic bistro, and spent the night talking about what we love most: blogging and fashion. You can check out their blogs here in the order of their pictures (each have their own unique take on fashion): Work Your Closet, J's Everyday Fashion, and Fashion--The Like. Of course that's lil ol' me at the end. Don't forget to enter the Bergdorf Goodman contest here for your chance to go to NY Fashion Week!

Prada's 'Minimal-Baroque' collection of sunglasses will be available in February. Only 500 lovely pairs were created and can be bought at limited Prada boutiques, select department stores and Ilori eyewear stores. These 'mini works of art' as they have been called, are shown off in this funny and quirky campaign video below.

Lookbooks Taking a Page Out of History

  Spring as the old adage says is a time for renewal and new beginnings. But some lookbooks are taking a page out of history and using a touch of classic vintage to inspire their new spring collections.

Vote for me on Refinery29 "Hunt for The Next Style Blogger"

  Today has been such a busy day for me so apologies for posting so late in the day! From running to court this morning to be a witness for a not so fun situation that happened to me a year ago, and then catching up on work, I've finally had the time to sit in front of my laptop and go to the place where I find my peace, on my blog! ;)

You can help lift my mood, if you would like, by voting for me on the Refinery29 "Hunt for the Next Style Blogger" contest. Winning this contest would be a dream come true for me, and  your votes will help me come closer to seeing my dream become reality! :)
You can vote for me here (I'm on page 2 under "Giselle").

Don't forget that you still have time to enter the contest for a Rebecca Minkoff clutch here.

Last but certainly in no way least here is the color I've been obsessing over this past week: orange. While orange can be a tricky color to pull off at times, I'm loving how Proenza Schouler used a soft hue of orange in the Spring 2011 campaign for the nail polish on the models. Will definitely be on the hunt for a similar nail polish, so any suggestions please feel free to share!
