Sponsored Giveaway!: Tulle -- CLOSED

Today I'm so very excited to be bringing y'all a holiday giveaway fit for a queen! Tulle is one of my favorite dress brands, and I was over the moon to experience the stellar quality of their outerwear as well. It definitely doesn't disappoint! The fab folks over at Tulle are giving one lucky Honeybee a wine colored single breasted peacoat to match mine! We can be twins! If you're into that sort of thing...

The coat is ultra warm and the inside lining is beautiful (I should snap a picture of mine!). The pockets work double time as deep pockets with a covered flap, and a nice little side pocket to put your hands for warmth (this was an awesome realization!). And it could be yours just in time for this winter weather!

To be entered to win your very own Tulle coat, please share with me your favorite holiday song! (Mine is anything on the Nsync Christmas album, and no I'm not ashamed to admit that!)

You can get extra entries by:

- Visiting Tulle + telling me your favorite piece in their online store

- Liking Tulle on Facebook

- Following Tulle on Twitter

Just be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry! A winner will be drawn in a few days and announced shortly thereafter! Don't forget you can still enter to win a $100 giftcard to LuLu*s, and an Apple iPad 2!


The winner of this giveaway is: #164 Klanki! Check your email lady! xo

Sweet Pea

I'm feeling a bit under the weather again (I'm writing this on Saturday night before work) but the show must go on! These were shot on Thursday (?!) down the street from our loft. This was actually the outfit I wore for our anniversary on Monday (I'm a serial outfit repeater! Oh no!). The monsoon kind of ruined the day's plans but we made the most of it and had a sweet MadMen marathon together (I finally gave in and started watching it on Netflix. Now we're hooked and only halfway through season 3). It was really nice day. Work on Friday night was a bore, but it tends to be that way during the holidays. Better things to spend your money on than booze! ;)  I picked up this pea green cardigan a few days ago and I really haven't taken it off since. It's the most marvelous color! Paired with cranberry tights and a wine colored coat, I felt pretty cheerful despite the fickle weather. (Psst... if you like my new peacoat then be sure to drop back by Tuesday! You could win a matching one thanks to Tulle!) This sweet bee brooch was made for me (and named after me!) by the lovely Elisha! I'm not going to lie, I get tickled pink when someone sends me a link or a gift that's bee related!

I'm supposed to be meeting up with some lovely gals this afternoon (Sunday), provided this head cold hits the road. I asked for some home remedies for the sickies on Twitter and got a wide variety of interesting replies! Let's see if any combination of them actually works! By the way, Christmas is two weeks away... I haven't made/bought/thought of the first present. I'm kind of the worst at holidays! Have you managed to get any of your holiday shopping done? Here's to hoping I can stick with my "handmade for the holidays" theme! xo

PS; That second picture was included just because I thought this post needed something silly and light-hearted. I can't go very many frames without doing something a wee bit dumb.

I'm kind of having fun incorporating the color palette into the photos. What do you think? This is what I wore yesterday, and to be honest, it's what I've been wearing for the majority of my days lately. Nashville has become so unbearably hot that even someone who has lived here their whole life can't help but complain. With that being said I needed a dress that was light-weight, long enough to wear without tights, and well of course it had to be cute. Tulle to the rescue! I have several Tulle dresses and I love each one more than the last. I first found the brand when I was visiting San Francisco every 6 months and my favorite little shop, Therapy, in Mountain View stocked them. I loaded up on every trip and I still wear every single one of them! It's one of those brands that I'll know I'll wear and adore until the end of time. The quality of the pieces is so stellar and the designs are way too cute! (Seriously, look at this one! I want it in both colors so badly! It's so dreamy!) I also love that they're a brand that stands behind their customers. If you follow them on Twitter then you can get access to some snazzy deals... even 50% off! Also recently added to my collection: this and this! (And yes, I know I have the sleeveless version of that first one but how could I resist?!?! That print is just my favorite!)

A few of my favorites still in the shop are:

one. two. three. four.

Anywhoo, last night I switched into something else and we headed down to the Apple store and then work. The stellar fella at Apple replaced my iPhone that I left in the rain free of charge, so now Mike happily has a 4! Our new friends who just moved to Nashville from Minnesota, Christina and Brian, drove down to my bar to hang out last night. It was super awesome to meet them and they were fabulous! Hopefully there will be more hangouts in the future! The bar had a slow start but by 11:30 we were packed. It didn't slow down until I turned the lights on at 2am. I like those nights because they often mean good money and time flies. We pored into bed at 3:30am and here we are! 

No telling what today has in store for us but I'm ready to get up and out of this house. Cabin fever going on! Happy Sunday, honeybees! 

What have you been up to this weekend?!

Target cardigan

Hive + Honey fascinator

Gimmick wedges c/o Blowfish Shoes

Michael Kors Gansevoort bag gifted from Mike

PS; If pretty dresses weren't enough to make you check out Tulle, almost all of them are on sale! Woohoo!

PPS; I opted for Essie's Mamba nail polish (of course it's chipped on me) and ELF's matte lip color in Coral to round out the nude coral theme. Matches the outfit and building nicely if I do say so myself! I'll be sharing my favorite makeup this week! ;)
