Holiday Theme + Giveaway!

Happy Monday, everyone!

Notice anything different around here? I decorate my house for Christmas, why not the blog too? Christmas is here, lovies! I'm so in love with my background, header and color theme that I didn't want to change it up too much, but I do think the garland and holly berries add a nice little touch, don't you?

My sweet friend, Suburban Princess, and I decided we would debut our holiday blog themes today together. We were both dying for some holiday cheer and made it a joint effort! Mrs. SP has quickly become a dear friend, she's incredibly kind and honest, with a little sass- we're a perfect pair!

Hop on over and check out her holiday theme too! Oh, and while you're there don't forget to enter her giveaway and 'ooh' and 'aww' over her recently published book! She's quite the lady, that Suburban Princess!

Now, what you've been waiting for!
One lucky reader will win the Spanish Steps dress from the Roamin' Holiday Collection!

 (Images via Shabby Apple)

"Some things are just better together: peanut butter and chocolate, Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, Rome and Vespas.  We decided to pair two things we love—the soft, cotton jersey of our favorite t-shirt, and the gorgeous sateen of the dresses of yesteryear—to create the Spanish Steps.  A luxe jersey cap sleeve top is gathered at the waist with a wide satin sash, and a veritable bouquet of appliquéd, ruched flowers and leaves adorns the full sateen skirt that swirls just below your knee.  A truly inspired combination, the Spanish Steps has star potential."

I'm in Love and 'My Favorite Things' Giveaway!

 (via Summer B.)

Hi, everyone! Welcome to another edition of the 'It's Friday, I'm in Love' Series!

We have been getting some crazy storms here in VA! Holy moly, it's freaking me out! My internet has come and gone for the past two days. I almost didn't think I would get my guest post done for Trishy yesterday! Eeeee! And my power went out for a while last night too!

I hate storms when I'm alone! Ok, sorry, that's NOT one of the things that I'm loving today. Absolutely.not.

Moving on to happier things.....

~~~~~~~~~~~

1. My nails are back to 'platinum.' Boo ya.

2. I had pancakes for dinner one night this week.

3.The movie Step Up was on ABC Family this week. I love dance movies!

4. I am in love with my new header and sidebar tags! Y'all know I like change and I think this is my favorite header so far!

5. Summer's Dad's cancer is in remission. I tear up just thinking about it! I love you, Summer and Daddy B!

6. Look at this new Etsy shop that I found! I'm.in.serious.love.

Ok, now for the best part of this post! 

I'm having another giveaway here at Brown Eyed Belle! This one is really fun and special because it consists of some of my favorite things, hence the name of the giveaway :)

Everything is going to come all bundled up in that pretty little ribbon just for you!

What's up for grabs, you ask?

Clockwise from left:

1. Lady silhouette magnets and 'Mai Tai One On' cocktail napkins
I love cocktail napkins! I have far too many!

2. Breakfast at Tiffany's DVD
A classic. If you already have a copy gift this one to a friend :)

3. 10 Note cards/envelopes from my personal stationery collection; set of 3 gift tags
Yes, I sorted through my stationery and picked out some favorites for your very own collection!

4. Strawberry Shortcake tea towel (the recipe is on the other side! So cute!)
I am accumulating quite the collection of tea towels. I got one of these for myself, too!

So, how can this little collection of Brown Eyed Belle's Favorite Things be yours?

It's simple, loves!

Just leave me a comment on this post saying that you're a follower and you'll be entered.

The giveaway will be open until midnight (eastern time) next Thursday, August 12. I will announce the winner on Friday in my 'It's Friday, I'm in Love' post!

Good luck, lovies, and happy Friday!!
