Libby James Album Giveaway

Rewind to a couple months ago and I was contacted by Libby James, a company that allows clients to create beautiful, high quality albums without marked-up prices.  If you're married, then you know how expensive wedding albums can be.  Let's be clear here though... this isn't just for brides!  What an amazing album this would make for baby pictures or just to document the captured memories that are closest to your heart.  Whatever the occasion, Libby James allows you to download free album-maker software and have a personal touch in designing the album of your dreams. 

I was so excited to get started in the design process.  Design is what I live for.  I'm also quite fond of my wedding photos and always jump at the chance to see/use them.  I downloaded the Libby James software and got to work super quickly.  You just choose your album (which are all priced very well!), upload all of your photos into the software and start placing the photos into the layouts.  Don't worry if you aren't very design-savvy because you can have as much or as little control as you'd like in terms of where the photos are placed (thanks to the automatic options).  I finished my album and BOOM POW! ...a few days later it was on my doorstep.  See the pretty box and cover it has?

I chose the 10x10 Onyx album with 10 spreads.  Look at the beautiful leather and thick pages.

The layout options are endless.  You can create your own photo boxes or use the suggested layouts.

The quality is amazing and the entire process was seamless.  The fun part for you happens now.  Libby James has agreed to give one of you your very own 10x10 Onyx album (a $165 value)!  Let's get this giveaway started...

You may also save 20% off your entire order at Libby James with code SWANKY20 until 2/28.

In case you're wondering, my wedding photos were done by the wonderful and talented Marni Rothschild.

G I V E A W A Y {joules wellies}

You don't know how long I've been on the hunt for a good pair of wellies.  Of all the brands I've tried, they've either fit too snug or too loose.  So when I was contacted by Joules to style a pair of their wellies, I was thrilled to give another brand a shot.

...and they fit perfectly! 

(I love the gold hardware!)

Joules is a company that is massive in the UK, but has recently expanded to the United States.  They offer a ton of styles and colors.  These boots have a unique edge and are so well made!

The best part is that Joules is giving one of you an opportunity to win a pair of your own!

Lulu and Georgia Giveaway!

I'm smitten with my new Sweet Lilac Jute Rug from Lulu & Georgia.  Their store has so many amazing prints and textures... it almost makes me sad that I decided upon such a neutral rug!  But, this rug brings a really calm, Coastal, yet classic look to our living room, which is just what it needed.

I am so excited to share with you that the sweet ladies at Lulu & Georgia are giving one of you
$100 to spend on their website!  

This giveaway will close one week from today!  There are MANY ways to enter...

pops of yellow + stella and dot winners

Didn't realize I was such a "pop of yellow" girl until I saw all of these images pinned on my boards.  I am currently finding myself gravitating towards bright colors, whether it be clothes or interiors.  Spring is almost here!  It may be 50 degrees outside, but the sun is shining and that groundhog promised us warm weather a little earlier this year.  That gives me hope.

This weekend is a busy one and will be spent back home in Beaufort and Ridgeland with our parents.  Brandon and I have our first pre-marital counseling session, which we are really excited about.  My grandfather and great aunt are visiting my parents, so it will be a full house!  I've also got a bridal shower on Sunday!  The wedding festivities are well underway and guess what... we get married NEXT MONTH!  I've been waiting for March 1st to be able to say that.  Man that felt good.

In other news, I'm sure you've been waiting for me to share the Stella and Dot winners.  Remember, one lucky lady will win the Julep Bangle and two of you will win 50% off one item on Stella & Dot.  

The winner of the Julep Bangle is....

Tori Banu

...and the winners of the 50% offer are

Colleen O'Connor and Krista Walls!

GIVEAWAY! {Graphic Image}

Brought to you by the same folks who gave away the GiGi New York All-in-One bag, I'm so excited to announce another amazing giveaway that is sure to get your organizational juices flowing!

Graphic Image is ever so kind to give one lucky reader a 2013 Leather Desk Datebook.



They have multiple styles and colors to choose from, and let me tell you... they are all gorgeous.  

Graphic Image sent me a 2013 Desk Diary with Orange Crocodile Embossed Leather.  Since I'm getting married in six months, I went ahead and got my married initials (MSS) embossed on the front in gold lettering.  What is it about a monogram that makes something ten times more special?  

The pages are a thick cream color and have beautiful gilt edges. 

If you can't be organized with this, you have very little hope, my friend.  It includes information pages galore... weight conversions, maps, holidays, anniversary gifts, personal expense summaries, currency exchange rates, birthstone and flower information, etc. etc. etc.

It also includes monthly calendars and day-at-a-view agendas.

If you'd like a chance to win a desk diary of your choice, just follow these simple rules!

You must be a follower of Style Me Swanky via Google Friend Connect (as seen in the right column) before completing any entries below.

For one entry: Leave a comment stating which color you would choose for your date book.  You can view all the styles and colors here.

For another entry: "Like" Graphic Image on Facebook and leave a comment letting me know.

For another entry: Blog about this giveaway and leave a comment with the link to your blog.

For another entry: Tweet about this giveaway using a link to Style Me Swanky, then leave a comment with your Twitter name!

That means you have four opportunities to win!  (Maximum of four comments!)

Giveaway will end Wednesday, October 31 at 11:59 p.m.

Good luck! 

Oh P.S.  This is where I put the sewing table I revamped.  

You know...the one I found on the side of the road. ;)

Weekend Recap and GiGi New York Giveaway Winner!

Talk about a fun, relaxing weekend.  Saturday was slightly chilly down on the beach, but still warm enough for us to pull out the bathing suits one last time.  Brandon and Drew played bocce ball...

...while Cody and I chit chatted and played with their pup.

(It took me a while to adjust to the chilly breeze = towel blanket & tshirt!)

Our evenings were spent spotting shooting stars on the back porch and playing Apples to Apples.

Gorgeous sunset.

Mimosas in the morning!

Brandon and Drew went shrimping on Saturday night.

...and caught a whopping two dozen shrimp.  ;)

Brandon and I went for a walk on Sunday morning.  The outgoing tide left this really cool texture in the sand.

Now... the giveaway winner. 
Thanks to all of you who entered for a chance to win a GiGi New York All-in-One.
