The Cat in the Hat + A Giveaway






Top, shorts: Gap; Sandals: Target; Sunglasses: c/o Lulu*s

I spent today (Sunday) napping in the apartment. Napping in the park. Having a beer and napping again in the apartment with movies playing. It's been an exhausting past few weeks with family in town, about 10 job interviews, apartment hunting remotely, and five apartment visitations this weekend. 

And what do I have to show for it? We got the apartment. I got a job. And I move to Portland on July 23rd (right after my birthday and Hawaii trip) and start work on July 29th. I'm so thrilled! I can't wait to decorate the new apartment and share photos with you all come July. I hope you've all been as productive as I have this month and now I'm going to return to napping by turning the blog over to the pretty Victoria at Fashion Flirtation who is giving away an awesome gift card of your choice to Target, Forever21 or J.Crew. Read about her and visit her fantastic style blog below:

-

 I am 20 years old, currently based out of Gilbert, Arizona, and just recently celebrated 6 months of marriage with the love of my life. I started a personal fashion blog about 4 months ago, because I have always had a deep love for fashion and I wanted to share some of my tips and tricks with my readers. I read so many other blogs, but a common factor that I see is that the clothing they wear usually isn't affordable for the everyday woman. I decided that I wanted to show women that you and your wallet can both be happy, because being fashionable doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune. Most of my clothes and accessories come from places like Target, Forever 21, and Marshalls. It doesn't matter how much you spend on an outfit-- as long as you love what you are wearing, your confidence will shine through. In order to help you all develop your personal style, today I am giving away a $25 gift card to the winner's choice: Target, J. Crew, or Forever 21.  


P.S. This giveaway is open internationally and will run through Sunday, June 23. The winner will be announced next Monday.
