You guys are so amazing! There’s no other place on earth a girl can get such support, whether it be dying my hair platinum or my new business venture. P.S. To my anon commenter-Thank you, I was aware of that, I own the domain, it’s a different industry, etc…next time don’t be afraid to reveal yourself.

Back to our regular scheduled programming! The winner of the Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation Giveaway is Erika at Cafe Fashionista! Congrats doll! I’m excited to try this with you! My review is coming! Don’t despair loves, because…
It’s Giveaway time again!
Ciao, Chessa! Photography is one of my sponsors, but more than that, Monica, the talent behind the lens, is a friend and an inspiration. Her photography leaves me speechless, she captures the most beautiful moments and places, from NYC to Paris and Florence, and I would be thrilled to have any of her prints grace my walls. She is gracious enough to giveaway one Open Edition print to one of you! A few of my favorites…
Hot Purple Lips
In The Spring 1
Spies Hide Out In Every Corner

The Break (The Hamptons)
Walking From the Past (Paris)
The Empire State
Crazy talented! Jeez. Plus she has gorgeous hair and thinks my drunk comments are cute. I’m totes kidding, I would never do that. :)


Le Rules….
My giveaways are for my homies…so make sure you’re a follower and if you’re new, say hi!
Visit Ciao Chessa’s shop and let me know what print you would choose if you won in the comments.
Additional entries-become a follower of Monica’s blog
Tweet about it…I’m MissLizzyMarie (Come back and let me know if you did either one)
I’ll announce the winner next Tuesday, Nov 3rd! Holy crap, November already?

Yay! Good Luck! Open internationally too…told you I have not forsaken you :)
XOXO,
Liz
Bonbon Rose interviewed Brooke, Mayra and I today…I don’t think my darling Kristin knew what she was getting into, but check it out, it’s all kinds of crazy…badgers, badgers, badgers!

16 ifmusicbe October 28, 2009 at 1:34 am

I love all the B&W ones best, i have almost all B&W prints at home and adore them. The one i have chosen is this one (link if this doesn't work is: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20649599) because it's just totally different from all my others while still being similar enough to go.

17 *Jac* October 28, 2009 at 2:10 am

I followed Monica's blog! Also, the le lago et en cielo (probably completely butchered the name..) painting is amazing!!

Oooh, fab giveaway! I'd have to go with a Paris one I think. Either the 'Walking From the Past' you chose in your post or 'On the Way Up, On the Way Down'. She's such a talented photographer…. love her blog!

Oh, and feel free to email anytime! I'm here for you! It must be quite overwhelming to get so many clients and be your own boss, but so exciting as well! I think the biggest pain will be, when you have to do your taxes though ;-)

76 Patty Ann October 29, 2009 at 8:22 am

78 Polished Sense October 29, 2009 at 9:36 am

I love the Spies Hide Out in Every Corner photo. I'd try to duplicated it like 12 times and line them up into frames on a big wall and it would be my art piece. Fabulous stuff she's got.

I'm also going to tweet about this :D

Jessica
