GIVEAWAY: Nina Garcia Style Strategy Book & F21 Bracelet

Give it away, Give it away now

I love books and I order them often. But apparently my method of filling up my amazon cart with books and then then ordering a large batch of back fired back on me this week. For the first time using this method I ended up with two of the same book. So instead of getting upset I decided to reward my loyal readers and offer the extra book up for a GIVEAWAY!!
The book is the Nina Garcia Style Strategy book. Nina Gracia is the head stylist at Marie Claire, a Judge on Project Runway and is a Fashion Styling Icon. Her book details closet staples and her method of shopping for new pieces. I am also including Forever 21 stud bracelet similar to the one I wear often as part of the giveaway. It is one of my favorite accessories and it adds just a touch a rocker edge to my outfits.
The winner will receive this Forever 21 Stud Bracelet and Nina Garcia's Style Strategy Book

Look of the Day: A Winning Combination

Yesterday I spent the day party hopping. And by party hopping I mean a six years old's Chuck E. Cheese party was our first stop and then we cruised over to my friends baby's 1st birthday party. After all the party hopping I went with fellow party hoppers, V and Jen to grab some sushi and to a bottle of wine. I had an amazing veggie sushi roll filled with jalapeno, mango and avocado. I also picked a winner using random.org for the twilight tee so scroll down to see the winner!

My party hopping outfit, my necklace was a hit.
Wine and sushi make a winning combo.
And the winner of the tee is....

Also, I absolutely love your style, I have stolen some looks from you and have gotten so many compliments! Will you post some instructions on how to make that faux pearl necklace from Lanvin? Thank you!"

Caroline please email me at ambersnotebook@gmail.com with the size of tee (S,M, or L) and your address! And I will defiantly post detailed instructions to the Lanvin Look-a-like necklace for you!

My craft room is really coming along. I would still like a chandelier, a nice rug, a small book shelf and some prints for the wall. I also have a craft organizer that needs to be mounted and filled. Some Piano lessons from my SIL would be nice as well!


And since I need crafts to work on in here (and because I got a few emails) I am going to hold a small contest for a Twilight shirt, like the one I made for myself. The shirts at Forever 21 come in sizes small, medium and large so if you win you can email me your size and I will make the shirt in whatever size you need. To enter leave a comment about something you create.* Maybe you are quite the cook, baker, gardener, crafter or Knitter. I'm sure my Husband would tell you I'm quite a great mess creator. Just let me know what you love to create. Post a comment before Sunday at 10 am Pacific time and you are good to go. I will pick a winner Sunday morning using a random generator morning.Then I will make the shirt and send it out Monday morning, so it can get to you before the Twilight Opening on Friday. Can't wait to see what you all love to create!
*Open to US Residents only

I am wearing a size small.
