My First Giveaway and The You're A Doll Award!

To celebrate having reached a hundred followers, I'm hosting a giveaway. Yey!

As you know, I'm a weak-in-the-knees kinda girl when it comes to cocktail rings. I think they just give any outfit, a definitive in-your-face sort of vibe. Soooo yes, the giveaway is a cocktail ring!

A lovely turquoise stone (I think the proper term is cabochon, a convex cut for gemstones.) is set on a filigreed design made of silver. The workmanship hails from Vietnam and it is assuredly much better looking in person than it is in these photos. (Sorry about that. My lighting is off, as usual.) It covers over the first digit of your index finger which should give you an idea of it's actual size. It  also has an adjustable band at the back; but I will also include a ring guard in case the winner happens to have teeny, tiny fingers.

What to do to win this beauty:

1. Please become a follower of ballerina'sclosetobsession for one entry and indicate that you have done so in your comment.

2. If you are already a follower, please let me know why you would like to have this ring. This will entitle you to one entry.

3. Please link this giveaway in a blog post for another entry and send me a message that you have done so.

4. Please include your email addy in your comment/s.

Good luck to everyone!

(A reminder: this ring is really gorgeous. My pics sadly do not do it any justice.)

I will be sending this to the winner by registered mail as soon as I get his/her mailing address.

Entries to this particular giveaway will be accepted until 28 February 2010.

And for those who do not win this sparkle, I say, don't worry, I've already got another idea for my next giveaway. I'm just currently configuring the logistics of it.  

And now for some fun!

I've been given the "You're A Doll award" by Dena of Pretty Little Things, who has such a fashionable aesthetic; it's crazy that it's all jammed into one lovely person! Please visit her blogsite ... You won't regret it!

Merci beaucoup a million times, Dena!

I now pass on this award to 6 certifiable dolls of the blogosphere:

1. The Style Artisan, a savvy thrifter who creates drool worthy outfits that cost a tenth of their original price!

2. Kirstyb of Fashion Champagne. She is truly THE hautest girl in town!

3. Wonderfelle of A Wonderfelle World, who takes you to the most wonderful vacay destinations and gives you advise on which fantastic outfits to take with you as well.

4. Ibyang of A Wife's Charmed Life, a recent immigrant to Australia, who does a terrific balancing act of being a wife, homemaker, and all around fashionable girl!

5. Treacle of Confessions of a Lingerie Addict, who is my guru on all things lingerie! Those of you who are illiterate about this area of the closet, like me, will find her blogsite both educational and fun!

6. and Marissa of Chaos Kontrolowany, a teenaged fashion prodigy who is rockin' outfits for the snow!

Please pass on the "You're A Doll Award" to 6 other dolls you know?!
