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
