one: : : my 25th birthday
two: : : my first ever trip to Paris
three: : : reuniting with my love, who I haven't seen in over four months
I am having such a difficult time keeping my excitement bottled up. I've found myself pacing up and down my new apartment hall...full of energy but unable to focus on a single thing. Though I'm totally moved in to my new place, I haven't unpacked a single box. Cannot. Focus.
So, in order to celebrate this trifecta of beautiful awesomeness, I've decided to give away my very, very favorite thing:
Please forgive my graphics. Big mama computer + internet is yet to be hooked up at the new place.
Yes, my pals. A $50 Anthropologie gift card. Yay! And since I'll be in Paris on my birthday...I will announce the winner on Wednesday, June 8th, my b-day, in the form of my first ever vlog**...recorded at the Eiffel Tower. I am scared about that. But hey, why not jazz things up? :)
For your first entry, be or become a follower of my blog, and leave a comment letting me know!
For an extra entry, share the link to this post via your blog or Facebook, and double back to let me know you did so!
This giveaway is open internationally and will remain open until Wednesday morning. Keep your eyes peeled because we might be rockin' Erin's Rule next Tuesday. Just sayin'. :)
Ready? Go comment! :)

**Is it silly that I'm nervous about vlogging? Why is it that my voice is so much more terrible on video, and my facial expressions are infinitely more disturbing? Oh my.
What a fabulous giveaway, and happy early birthday! I'm a blog follower and might just have to creepily live through your fabulous Paris adventures :)
ReplyDeletePS: I'm doing a Stella & Dot giveaway on my blog if you're in the mood for some new birthday bling :)
