Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! #20

Aside from the couple of slips (here and here) I've done surprisingly well keeping to my no spending/shopping ban. And, yes, I went out and grabbed the shell-ebony stripped Xhilaration Skater Dress from Target for $4.98 (seen here in peacock-navy). I'm wearing it today and it may be my most favorite outfit ever in the history of ever (photos in next weeks WIWW post).

Until last week the only clothing I've won was a hoodie (here), then within a weeks span I've been lucky enough to win 3 clothing items. Two from 15DollarStore.com (documented here) and another hoodie off loveelycia's blog. It's a one of a kind hoodie from Mungo Crafts. I chose the Bubbly Grape hoodie. Unfortunately I didn't favorite it on Etsy so I don't have a way to link to it since it's been "sold", and it's not listed under her sold items.

My first choice was the Weeping Willow but someone snagged it right before I could. It's okay though because I was totally torn between the two.

Weeping Willow

I really love what Mungo Crafts does! Her current stock is pretty (my other favorite was the Beach Party hoodie) but I really love some of the items she's sold already. She's got nothing but rave reviews so I'm excited to get my hands on my new hoodie.

Beach Party currently on sale for $63.99

Spring Garden Sold

I'm also awaiting a necklace I won off the lovely Lindsey's blog From the Aisle to Aloha. The necklace is from LaLuceShop and I chose the Rosario.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! #17

Today Kaelah Bee @ Little Chief Honeybee let me know

I won a

$50 Gift Certificate

Pree Brulee

This is what I picked...

Meadow Necklace

Melting Marble Ring

Porcelain Doll Bracelet

I broke my no spending ban but only because shipping isn't covered by gift cards on their site. So I had to pay it... $5.99. The GC code expires after 30 days so I couldn't wait until I was over my ban. Everything I picked out ended up being $49.50. Had I been able to put the GC towards shipping I just wouldn't have gotten the bracelet.

I'm bummed that these bracelets weren't on sale instead...how perfect do they go with the necklace & ring I got?!

Purple Stacked Bangle Set

Maybe after I'm over my ban they'll be on sale and I'll get them.

And Emily @ Mama Days let me know I won another one of her Handmade with Heart Giveaways. A Doe a Deer(Aluaces) pouch of my choice. I chose the Bird Spoke Pouch in Grey (small).

Cute right?!

Yesterday I received another one of my winnings in the mail. Monday Kelsey @ Smitten By a Promise let me know I won a pair of earrings from Beaded Treasures by Sue

Long Flat Briolette Crystal Earrings in Light Vitrail- Handmade with Swarovski Crystal and Sterling Silver

So I was a bit surprised when they came so quickly!

(I've been waiting for 2 winnings for over a month from personal blogs that said they'd be out by end of the week won & inquiries have gone unanswered)

This was inside the envelope... (minus note card)

It included a 10% Customer Appreciation Discount Code.

The earrings...

So pretty, right?!

I heart them!!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner! #15

Sunday I won two {TWO!!} giveaways. Let me tell you it was a nice way to end the weekend.

The first was the Mama Days: Handmade with Heart Giveaway with Noah's Ark Creations.

And the winner of the Noah's Ark Creations giveaway is...

I won $25 shop credit to Noah's Ark Creations, which is an Etsy shop that does handstamped jewelry. SCORE! I have requested her Wide Personalized Aluminum Cuff Bracelet. I'm hoping she can put my favorite Jimmy Eat World lyrics on it "I act as one, but I'm not alone" {from Electable (Give It Up)} on it.

Wide Personalized Aluminum Cuff Bracelet

I, also, asked for the {Add} An Initial With Birthstone charm with a K and the garnet crystal with an added January pearl birthstone
added to it.

{Add} An Initial With Birthstone

I'm just waiting to hear back from her on my order. I'm pretty excited about it all though!

I, also, won one of Pretty Little Lion's {BIG} 2-8 Birthday Bash Giveaways. It was for $25 shop credit to Pretty Little Lion Designs. Um...double SCORE! I sort of felt bad because this is the second time I've won a giveaway to her shop. I do promise to someday acutally buy something from her shop though. You know, because 6 hair pretties from her just isn't enough!

The Pretty Little Lion Shop Credit is going to...

I chose the Navy Blue Zinnia Bloom Hair Clip.

Navy! I know you're totally shocked!

What I Wore Wednesday: Week 5

Joining at The Pleated Poppy

Monday I had to take the day off because my apartment complex is making improvements to be handicap accessible and Monday they were doing inside improvements on all downstairs units. I couldn't keep the cats locked up all day so I used up a vacation day. Sitting around all day waiting for contractors to show up isn't all that fun. I rented 3 movies from Redbox (Waiting for Forever, The Social Network & You Again) to occupy my time. I now have a ramp on the inside of my arcadia door but you can't tell it's there. Seems useless without a ramp on the outside part but who knows they may do that later.

I usually wear my Jack's t-shirt with a purple tank but I'm loving it way more with the yellow.
