Sneakpeeq winners!

Hiiiiiiiiii! I’ve been MIA from the blog all this week, but I hope you don’t mind me taking a little break! I’ve been on twitter here and there, tweeting about some of the deals I’ve scored lately. (Like the Target Versie and Paisley pumps that are now on sale for $8.98.  Check your local store, they’re still full price online.) Old Navy also has a great sale right now – 30% off clearance items.I picked up the two items pictured below as well as three new sweaters – all for $30 (Using a $20 Groupon I had purchased earlier.)

What I’m Wishing For: Jewelmint

Update: the code FASHION70 is only for new members, sorry for the confusion!

My first giveaway of the month! Yes, that means there’s more! I hope you’ll enjoy the giveaways as we go through the Christmas shopping season!

Is jewelry a given on your wishlist? I know it is on mine! The easiest (and often times most inexpensive) way to update your wardrobe is with accessories. The right accessories can take an otherwise basic outfit and dress it up. When you’re on a budget, adding the right accessories can update your basic pieces and transform them from old to like-new. I love Jewelmint for its eclectic and unique pieces, especially the long necklaces like the Sealed with Love, Empress and Victorian Charmer necklaces.

Jewelmint releases new pieces every month. It’s one of the things I look forward to the most at the beginning of each month along with Birchbox. Makes it much less painful to say goodbye to the previous month. The December showroom this month has several pieces that I love.

Jewelmint Gemma Earrings

Jewelmint Lucky Charms Necklace

Jewelmint Arabian Nights Bracelet

Jewelmint Rose Palace Dome Ring

Jewelmint Shanghai Eclipse Pendant

I love each piece for various reasons but I have a weakness for long pendant necklaces so I chose the beautiful Shanghai pendant this month. I purchased it the day it released (in fear of it selling it out). I love the enamel disc and the pave crystals around the border of the pendant. Jewelmint always selects one piece from the new collection that they think is your top match based on the profile you fill out. They’ve never gotten it right until this month with the Shanghai Eclipse Pendant. 🙂

Want in? Jewelmint is giving a credit to one lucky reader (to use towards the purchase of one item) from their showroom!

New members can use the code FASHION70 to B1G1 for 70% off!

Thank you – by way of Urban Decay Naked giveaway

It goes without saying that I would not be here if it weren’t for you. I had tried blogging prior to starting My Dressy Ways but it wasn’t until I decided to just “go ahead with the outfit posts already!” that I found my blog’s true voice. I worried about having yet another personal style blog, but as the months went by, I found that my blog DID resonate with readers out there! I am constantly encouraged by my fellow bloggers, twitter friends and my readers.

THANK YOU.

I have yet to do a giveaway on my blog, but as my way of saying thank you, I’d love to give one of you the Urban Decay Naked Palette as a little some-um some-um to glam up your looks for the holiday season. This is the ultimate eye palette to take you from the office employee to the dinner and drinks smokey-eyed diva. (It’s MY dream palette.) Twelve gorgeous, blendable colors accompanied by the Good Karma Shadow Brush and a mini Urban Decay Original Primer Potion.
