ROYALS {+ A $1,000 BLACK FRIDAY GIVEAWAY}

Jacket: Darling c/o, Top: Sheinside c/o, Pants: Tractr Jeans c/o, Shoes: Seychelles (similar), Bag: Melie Bianco c/o, Necklacace: Gorjana Griffin c/o, Bracelet: INPINK c/o

I've been coveting all things royal blue lately.  Which is funny because I used to consider royal blue kind of a "non-color".  It was hard to pair with jeans and felt like such a sports team color to me.  But I am loving it for the holidays.  And this jacket just kind of makes me want to eat my royal blue disses and bow in it's presence.  It is that amazing.

So who is ready for the holidays?! ......good.  me neither.  But I have an opportunity for one reader to win a boat-load of cash ($1,000 to be exact) so that you can dominate Black Friday like a boss.  I have collaborated with a group of great bloggers to bring one lucky reader the chance to win a $1,000 Visa Gift Card or $1,000 PayPal cash!

I'm thinking this $1,000 would be enough for Christmas for my family and a few goodies for our new house.  What would you spend it on?

To enter, simply use the Rafflecopter below and be sure to visit these lovely ladies.

  21. We recently made the hard decision of leaving a huge company where my husband was very successful, for him to go back to school. We are now poor students again and I'm actually really happy about it- I think when times are harder you find more joy in the things that truly matter. So, if I won this I wouldn't spend it on gifts, but maybe to go on a mini vacation with my two favorite people. :)

    1. Props to you for making that hard decision! I know all about living the student life and can tell you from experience that even on a next to nothing budget, they were some of my happiest years. Good luck with your new transition!

  63. You look so lovely in this jacket, Leanne! I've been wearing a ton of black lately (I think that's what New York does to people, haha), but am definitely feeling inspired now to mix it up and throw in some bright fun colors. I especially think that this color is so versatile and great with so many different skin tones, and even better with blonde hair! I may have to go and pick this blazer up if I win the giveaway (;

  74. WOW. I'm so amazed by your style and creativity! I really don't regret clicking on a wrong link that lead me to your blog. <3 much love and respect. You're blog is something I would want my blog to look like. Everything is just perfect. So you ask me what I'll do with $1000? Firstly... I'd put some food in my parents' cupboards at home and then I'll help out my brother with food in his house and then lastly I'll be able to pay for my visa and passport to get out of South Africa so that I can make a better life for my future and my future children. I don't want them to suffer because there's no money for this or for that... That $1000 you so are so gladly giving away to someone special can change lives <3 and I thank you for giving me the chance to win it <3 Thank you so much for your wonderful blog and inspiration. I'm Nadia, 20 yrs old and I live in South Africa.

    ReplyDelete
  89. This money would go towards gifts for family and friends.. Always end up spending more than we should, but this will allow us to. :)

    ReplyDelete
  90. I used to feel the same way about royal blue. I thought it was such an outdated color. Maybe it's because I was always around the old royal blue colors of BYU! Anyway, love the jacket!! And oh what I could do with that money?!! New house stuff galore!!

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'd pay bills and use some towards my wedding!

    ReplyDelete

  93. Nếu bạn có xu hướng trang tri noi that nhà cửa bằng màu sắc, bạn có thể bị thuyết phục bởi những màu sắc từ các vật liệu tự nhiên. noi that do go phong khach, cua hang noi that phong ngu, noi that go nha bep , san pham do go phong an tạo nên sự khác biệt bằng các màu sắc xám, nâu hay màu gỗ. Nếu sợ căn phòng trở nên nhàm chán bạn có thể nhấn nhá thêm ghe sofa phong khach dep, giuong ngu doi, tu phong ngu có màu sắc nhẹ nhàng như xanh lá hay đỏ, vàng. Đối với một số nơi như tường nhà, cửa sổ hay vật dụng ngoài trời nên chọn sat my thuat, san pham gia cong sat , gia cong inox
