Hi everyone! I know I've been teasing you all with this giveaway for sometime now and I am proud to announce that it's finally here! I am just absolutely stoked to have the honor of being able to do my first giveaway!

For those of you who are new readers I recently (back in the beginning of June) began working with Bijoux USA. For those of you who don't know what Bijoux USA is I'll tell you: They are this awesome wholesale jeweler in New York, New York and they seriously have the coolest stuff, some of which, will be given away to 6 of my lucky readers!

So what can you win?

So here's the deal: I will be giving away 5 different jewelry items to 5 of my contestants (pictured below) and one lucky contestant will win all five jewelry pieces along with a magazine cover clutch (also pictured below).

Silver Spike & Crystal Cuff

Gold Spike & Crystal Cuff

Chevron Drop Necklace

Geometric Necklace

Semi Precious Stone Tipped Cuff

Magazine Cover Clutch (Also includes ALL jewelry pieces listed above!)

So how do you enter?

The entry rules are very simple and as follows:

The first step of entry is commenting on my post with what item you would like to try and win along with your email so I can reach you if you win to discuss shipping matters and such. However, if you are uncomfortable posting your email here, you can email me directly at starkravingchic@gmail.com with the same requests.
Please only ONE email/comment per item entry, this means you are allowed to try and win multiple items in the giveaway, but please only one email per item/contestant. Unfortunately if you do not follow this request, you will be disqualified.

How will you be picked?

The drawings will be at random, basically I'll just be pulling names/email address out of a hat for each given category, this means there will be 6 separate drawings for each item listed to win, to guarantee the authenticity of the contest. And of course as I stated above, once my winners are picked I will notify you via email to get your address for shipping purposes.

So the contest starts today with this post (AKA June 25, 2015)! And you will have a little over two weeks to enter (meaning the end date will be Friday, July 10, 2015) and the winners will be announced that following Saturday, July 11th, 2015 bright and early at 9AM US Eastern Time.

One Last Note:

So everyone knows, these will be shipped internationally considering I know many of my readers are in other countries and I of course don't want to exclude any of my readers (because you are all rad, duh!).

Lastly, I want to say good luck to everyone and I am thrilled for all the support all my readers have given me the past few months, you're all awesome!

Xx, Bree

#OOTD: Tied Up in Two Tones

June 22, 2015 by Bree Fesh in Personal Style

After enjoying the cook-out my family had for father's day yesterday, I decided to take a stroll in Baden's local park due to the surprisingly nice weather (one thing I have learned over the years is to always expect the opposite of what the weather man is calling for!). I also took this opportunity to do this outfit of the day post in light of my fun and breezy fathers day cook-out look. Let's see it:

So why am I digging this outfit so much? Well honestly when my mum showed me this while out shopping for a new top to go with my white teared skirt, I wasn't sure if I was digging the two toned tie up blouse however when I went in to the dressing room and tried on this I-N-C blouse on with my beloved long skirt I knew they were just a match made in heaven!

The perks of this duo is they are perfect for pretty much any summer occasion. I feel this top really adds a nice flare due to it's two toned qualities to an otherwise very basic piece. I love the skirt simply because of it's boho chic vibe, and to top it all off both these pieces are comfy as well as cool for that summer heat.

The Accessories:

First up on my accessories list is my much adored Plaza Suite sunhat. I've always been a fan of hats because much like this one they always add a little something extra to an outfit!

Now for one of my all time favorite accessories: My heart shaped gold rim sunglasses from American Eagle. When I purchased these two summers ago, I was totally channelling my inner Lana Del Rey (love her!) and ever since I have to say these still remain one of my favorite summer accessories simply becasue they are super feminine, flirty, and fun!

Next is my new necklace from Fascino . The reason I paired this necklace with this outfit is because I wanted to add a little more edge to the classic boho look. I like this necklace because though it's definitely a statement piece, it's not too over the top.

Last but not least, my Coach clutch (see I told you I didn't totally despise Coach!). This was a gift from my grandmother from back when I first started college so I didn't have to lug around a huge purse along with my book-bag, text books, and camera equipment. Though when I was 18 I didn't heed her advice I have to say that nowadays this little bag comes in quite handy!

One Last Look:

Are you a fan of the boho chic look? Tell me about it!

Until next time,

Xx, Bree

Versatile Blogger Award

June 19, 2015 by Bree Fesh in Blog Life

Hi everyone and happy Friday!

I want to start off by saying that I am absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for another award! A big thank you to Zel Black for awarding me with The Versatile Blogger Award! (If anyone knows this blogger please send me her link because in the email I received with my nomination did not list her blog, so I'd just really love to be able to post it here and of course check out her stuff.)

So what is The Versatile Blogger Award? This award, much as the name suggests is given to bloggers who are versatile in their writing, so when awarding someone with this you should always consider the quality of writing, the uniqueness and versatility of the subjects covered, the amount of what I like to call "personality" in the writing on the blog, and of course the quality of pictures. Needles to say, I am very honored to have been nominated/awarded and to have my blog thought of in this way, so again thank you so much, Zel!

RULES:

The rules to this award are simple:

Thank the person who nominated you.
If you are provided with a link to their blog, place it with in the post.
Pick 15 excellent blogs that you follow and nominated them.
Let the nominees know that they are nominated.
Post 7 facts about yourself.

Sweet, right?

Seven Facts About Me

1. My favorite color is neon orange and honestly for the strangest reason: while growing up as a child in South Western Pennsylvania, I can remember always liking the large orange construction barrels peeking out of the snow I always thought they gave our dull, grey, and long winters some color. Now my feelings towards them are much different, considering they generally mean loads of delays, however the fondness of the color still remains til this day.

2. I am pretty much addicted to caffeine. From my beloved venti iced Americano, to zen tea, even extending to diet coke. Very rarely will you spot me without one of three.

3. I am ambidextrous.

4. I love cooking! My favorite dish to make is chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes. (I make a mean salmon Alfredo as well!)

5. I prefer books to movies because I like to envision the character's and scenery myself rather than having an actor, actress, or dictate what they look like. I have a crazy active imagination and I feel this helps me exercise it.

6. I am a Fannibal, as well as part of the GoT, AHS, and OITNB Fandoms, I also love Archer, Bob's Burgers, South Park (Butters being my favorite character), and [old] Spongebob.

7. About 3/4 of my body is covered in tattoos.

My Nominees:

Thanks for reading! I appreciate all my readers, you're the best!
