Holiday Giveaway!!!

If you follow abril’s corner on Facebook (here), you know I’ve been teasing you all with talk of having a little surprise for you, my beloved readers. And finally today I get to reveal it… I decided to do my very own and very first Holiday Giveaway here on the blog!

I love the Holidays, one of the many reasons being the lovely gifts we get to exchange with loved ones. Yes, I do love receiving presents, but I also love giving presents. Unfortunately, as much as I would like it, it is impossible for me to give a personal gift to each and everyone of my readers (even if there are not that many… yet! Hehe). So, it seemed like the best way to go would be a giveaway where you all get the chance to participate, and then randomly selecting one winner.

So, I thought long and hard about what would be a good prize to show my appreciation for your time, your visits and your loyalty. I did a little shopping around, and this lovely necklace and bracelet finally won my heart. So much so, that I wish they would’ve had another necklace so I could’ve bought one for myself, but this was the very last one at the store. They may not be real jewelry or fancy designer brand items, but I really love them and they would really give any outfit a special touch.

Here are the pictures of the grand prize. To find out the rules and instructions so you can participate and be entered in the giveaway for an opportunity to become the one and only winner, please come back tomorrow as I’ll be posting all those details then.

Have a lovely week my darlings!

 

Si siguen la página de abril’s corner en Facebook (aquí), ya saben que había estado mencionando que estaba trabajando en una pequeña sorpresa para ustedes, mis adorados lectores. Y por fin hoy ya se las puedo revelar… decidí hacer mi propio y primer sorteo navideño aquí en el blog!!

Amo la época navideña, y una de las muchas razones es los maravillosos regalos que intercambiamos con nuestros seres queridos. Sí, sí me encanta recibir regalos, pero también me encanta dar regalos. Desafortunadamente, por más que quisiera, me es imposible hacerles un regalo personal a todos y cada uno de mis lectores (aunque no sean muchos… todavía! Jiji). Asi que me pareció que lo mejor sería hacer un sorteo donde todos ustedes tengan la oportunidad de participar, y después seleccionar al azar a un sólo ganador.

Pensé largo y tendido sobre cual sería un buen premio para demostrarles mi apreciación por su tiempo, sus visitas y su lealtad. Hice un poco de shopping por aquí y por allá, y finalmente este collar y brazalete se ganaron mi corazón. Tanto, que hasta desearía que hubiera habido otro collar igual para comprarme uno para mí, pero este era el último en la tienda. Tal vez no sean joyería de verdad ni sean de marca de algún diseñador famoso, pero realmente me encantaron y son piezas que le darían un toque especial a cualquier look.

Aquí los dejo con las fotos del gran premio. Para enterarse de las reglas e instrucciones para poder participar y entrar al sorteo para tener la oportunidad de convertirse en el gran y único ganador, por favor regresen mañana ya que estaré anunciando esos detalles hasta entonces.

Que tengan una linda semana mis adorados!

(Green)ery

I am happy to inform you that Pantone (in case you don’t know, they’re are the authority of color, the standard language of color communication) has announced that the color of the year 2013 will be emerald green. Why does this make me happy? Because I love jewel tones, and emerald green is pretty up there on my top list!
This announcement is not surprising since we’ve already seen this lovely jewel tone make appearances in the fashion world for the past few seasons, from runway shows to red carpets. However, this Pantone endorsement means that now there’s about to be an explosion of emerald green everywhere.
If you have any doubts about this, just look at what happened to the tangerine hue when it was name Pantone color of the year 2012…all of the sudden it was everywhere: shoes, nail polish, clothing, jewelry, makeup, and anything else you can think of, was immediately available in the vibrant hue.
So, now just make sure to add some emerald green to your holiday wish list and you’ll be prepared to join this fashionable explosion early next year.

Look of the Day: Leather + Neon

I am once again on a bus, this time headed back home, and a little sad that a weekend is just not enough time to see and catch up with everyone I would’ve liked to. However, I will be back in my hometown to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and I’ll have a few more days then, so hopefully I can manage to meet up with all my friends & family.
Now, about today’s look, it was a very easy one to put together because it involves several of my favorite trends and classics: leather skirt + turtleneck+ b&w stripes + neon + statement necklace + mary janes with a twist. You pretty much can’t go wrong when involving any of these pieces in an outfit… and putting them all together into one, well, that’s just fabulous in my book.
As you know from previous posts (like this one and this one), I am obsessed with neon yellow, and this necklace is by far my favorite piece of neon I own. I just can’t get enough of it but hadn’t had the chance to show it off here on the blog. It was such a fantastic find, I got it on sale at Dillard’s for just around $12!!
Hoping you all had a wonderful weekend and wishing you an even better week ahead.
