Happy 1 Year Birthday to Me & Giveaway #7

*Singing* Do you know what today is? It's my anniversary...ANNIVERSARY!

Who would have thought that this little blog would have grown the way that it has and still be around one year later. I'm extremely grateful to those of you who keep up with me, comment on posts, and enable me to buy more polish. Over the course of the year, this blog has helped me to keep my sanity at times as I juggle work and my doctoral program. It has been a stress reliever and just a great way to have dedicated me time. I'm still amazed at how many great ladies I've interacted with over the last year and have created e-friendships with. I have no clue what's in store for the next year, but I hope all of you stay along for the ride.

There is one last giveaway in the week-long celebration and it involves one of my favorite brands. Up for grabs is 3 shades from the new Beach collection and a super cute colorblocked Mossimo clutch from Target.
Shelby, Tracie, Wednesday
As you all know, I love merging my interests in polish and fashion together. In this giveaway, you'll get to do the same. Here are the pertinent details:
  • Create a fashion inspiration board based on one of the nail polish trends for spring that I have posted about previously. 
  • Include one polish in your fashion inspiration board.
  • Follow Refined and Polished on Pinterest by clicking here and then pin your board on Pinterest and tag me using the @ feature. 
  • Each entry will be assigned a number in the order they are submitted and a winner will be picked using random.org.
  • This giveaway closes on next Wednesday, April 18 at 9p EST.
  • Participants must be 18 or older.
Fashion boards like the ones I use here on Refined and Polished can be made at Shopstyle or Polyvore for free. By some chance if you aren't on Pinterest, email me and I'll invite you or you can send me your board and I'll upload it. Feel free to be as creative as you like!

Happy Anniversary! Thank you for providing a giveaway.

I completely misunderstood this challenge :) I love this idea of this challenge and got really excited when I saw it. I love non-typical giveaways/contests. I was originally going to take a picture of what I was wearing, then realized I just needed to create it in ShopStyle/Polyvore, then couldn't find the top I wanted to include! (this top: http://www.nyandcompany.com/nyco/prod/Tops/View-All/Scoop-Neck-Abstract-Floral-Shell).

KayJay at Refined & Polished said... Best Blogger Tips[Reply to comment]Best Blogger Templates

Thanks so much! In shopstyle, you can upload your own images. That way you could save the blouse from NYCO and then add it to your board. I love that top, so I hope you'll try again.

Thanks for the tip! I remade my board using that top and my favorite tangerine nail polish (what I consider tangerine at least!). In theory I've tagged you correctly, but if not here's the link to the pin http://pinterest.com/pin/141089400796450126/
