little loves

Hey Lovelies!

  

It's pretty exciting here in my little blog world!! Not only did I run am amazing giveaway last week on the blog, but also currently running one on my Facebook page as well, not to mention the KILLER line-up of giveaways coming over the next few months (I'm not kidding when I say it's some of the best stuff I've ever had the honor to giveaway. You will definitely want to stay tuned!) . 

I didn't run a little loves last week because it was too hectic of a week for me, and I didn't feel like I had enough to chat about in a post. It was a pretty boring week last week. Anyway I have been working my butt off getting ready for the holidays so I haven't had much time for play :( I even had to miss my Noto's Holiday Wine and Shop event this past week. Did any of you local lovelies make it? I have my eye on so many things there, it's probably better I missed it and saved some money ;)

 Got shellac on my nails again this week, thanks to my girl Lynn at New Awakenings Salon and Spa in Stow. I love this color, prefect pre-holiday hue. I got a lot of compliments on it too! I am LOVING shellac a lot. It is really helping with my weak nail issue. 

 Who doesn't love #maskmonday? I know I do!! It reminds me every week to not only do my hair and face mask but also do any other treatments I need. This week I went all out and did an oatmeal bath (perfect for parched winter skin), Macadamia hair mask, Neutrogena Pore mask along with Mario Badescu Drying mask, and my Sara Happ like scrub c/o Bloom.com. Did you lovelies do #maskmonday this week? If so what treatments did you use? I am always on the lookout for new ones! And be sure to join me every Monday through Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook!

If you haven't yet, head on over to my Facebook to ENTER TO WIN this Ban.do headband worth over $75! 

Just a little THANK YOU to all my FB fans! I hit over 600 LIKES this week!

 Wore out my new Express skinnies (been looking for a black pair FOREVER) that I love, and this amazing scarf c/o Snoozer Loser NY for a casual date night. I adore Snoozer Loser's scarfs (among their other killer pieces) and have for a long time, so I thrilled to have the opportunity to offer one of their beautiful scarfs to one of you lucky lovelies THIS WEEK- so stay tuned!

I have been incredibly torn on my NYE outfit for a while now. I have to figure it out soon though because I don't want to be out of luck when it rolls around! You can check out my pinboard with some of my picks HERE, but I think I've decided on this dress above. Even though it's not very NYE (I adore the one with the sequin top and cream pleated bottom) I love it, think I can "jazz it up", can wear it again (where as I most likely couldn't for some of the sequin pieces), know the fit will flatter me (again not so sure with the pleated bottom one), and can wear tights with it. What do you lovelies think? Do you like it? 

In addition I need a pair of pumps for both NYE and XMAS Eve! Can you believe I only own one other pair of closed toed black pumps? So I have been on the hunt for a while for a sexier/ classier pair (the current pair is lower heeled and more conservative for meetings and things of that nature) and I found this pair!! I love the simplicity and class of them, yet the ever so slightly sexy ankle strap (that conveniently comes off too!). I originally was getting them to go with my XMAS eve dress (you can see that dress HERE), but now I am thinking they would be great with this NYE dress too!! What do you think? Should I get them? They are slightly on the pricier side at $100 but seeing as they are black and close toed, and I already have two events lined up for them that they could be worth it. Thoughts?

And of course a BIG CONGRATS to my MNO winner Nicole A!! 

Please e-mail me at alovelylittleblog@gmail.com to claim your prize!

For those lovelies who didn't win and are interested in trying out MNO they have a great 6 piece sample kit for only $2.95 and I think (I think) free shipping! Totally worth it!

Hope you lovelies all had a wonderful week! See you around the blog this week!
