Last week, almost without realizing it, 200,000 blog views came and went, and so to celebrate, a little giveaway!

Nearly a year after our perfect winter honeymoon and jaunt through Paris (it seems so long ago … le sigh), I am dreaming in French baskets once again, and with the help of the French Basketeer, we thought we would giveaway one beautiful hand-crafted pink basket.

French Basketeer shop owner, Andrea, says “Our classic baskets have been a staple in France for decades, seen everywhere from Parisian markets to the beaches of the Riviera. French Basketeer now brings this timeless chic to the United States.”

The Details:

One rose pink basket by the French Basketeer will be given away!

Open to USA residents only

I was just selected as a 2011 GLAMOUR Glambassador!!  Second year in a row!

And I get asked pretty frequently – How Do You Become a Glambassador?

I actually learned about the program two years ago when I saw an ad in GLAMOUR magazine.  Updates are also available on:  www.glamalert.com.

Per GLAMOUR’s description:

GLAMOUR is looking for only the best of the best in the industry, as only a
 select few will be chosen to become part of this group. Go to glamalert.com/glambassador to sign-up for consideration.

I had to submit an online application which included lots of information about myself, my interest in writing and fashion, an essay, photos of myself, and a video.  Once I became a 2010 Glambassador, I got frequent e-mails and occasional group conference calls where we discussed the latest promotions and trends.  I also got a bunch of great FREE stuff in the mail to test-drive (i.e., giftcards, Oil of Olay beauty products, Maybelline Makeup samples, hair care, skincare, even a brand new pair of New Balance TrueBalance sneakers.)  And I get an exclusive invite to a bunch of great sales, fashion shows and events.

Obviously, this is the best unpaid job EVER!!
