Look of the Day: Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt

Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt attending the Mad Men Season 4 premiere at the Mann 6 Theater in Los Angeles are hands down, our choice for Look of the Week.
Modern and chic, with a touch of vintage Mad Men sophistication!

Let's everyone take note, shall we! This is how it's done! They both look divine, I don't know who we should focus on.....

....on second thought, I think we have our subject of focus!

The Lovely Ones: Myrna Loy

Calling all Mad Men (and Cookie) Lovers!

I know, I know it seems all my posts this week have been about giveaways but there are so many good ones out there (and in turn, so many great new blogs as well!) that I don't want anyone to miss them. I had sworn to myself that yesterday would be the last post this week dedicated to giveaways but I missed adding this one by a couple of hours (I'm blaming the time difference again) and it is definitely too good not to mention!

The new 'Mad Men' season is almost upon us and my dear friend Mrs. Pink Martinis at Pink Martinis and Pearls has decided to start the new season off on the right foot with a giveaway that I know Betty Draper would definitely approve of!

Does it get any sweeter than a cookie in the shape of the most stylish lady in tv land??

Mrs. PM is hosting a giveaway for a 'party dress' cookie cutter and since she is a very clever young lady, she is also graciously entertaining us with a delightful 'Mad Men' quiz! Click on any of the links above to be taken directly to the giveaway and don't forget to tell her Lily sent you!

Giveaways Galore!!

An apology again for the post mix-up yesterday, hopefully things have been straightened out (can you hear me Blogger???). Since this post is dedicated to some great giveaways going on right now, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fabulous giveaway going on right here!

We celebrated our first anniversary yesterday and are giving away a one year subscription to Martha Stewart Living as a thank you for making our first year better than we could have possibly imagined! To compensate for all the technical confusion, we are extending the giveaway by one day making the cut-off date Thursday, 29, 2010 at midnight (EST). Click here to be taken to the post with all the giveaway information!

Happy Birthday to Lily Lemontree!

It was one short year ago today that Lily Lemontree joined the rest of you in the 21st century and we thought a super giveaway was in order. Since our very first post was dedicated to Martha Stewart and her cupcake book, it is only appropriate that we give away something that involves the lady herself.

Inspiration can always be found at Martha Stewart Living, (one of my favourites!) so to make sure a little creative stimulation is always on hand, one lucky reader will receive a one year subscription to the magazine! (For those who already have a subscription, the 12 issues will be added to your current subscription!)

To enter the giveaway:
1) Leave a comment on this post for 1 entry.
2) Become a follower for 1 entry (or if you are already a follower, let me know).
3) Post about this giveaway on your blog or in your sidebar for 1 entry.
4) Tweet about this giveaway or post on Facebook for 1 entry.

You can leave all your entry information in one post and the winner will be chosen at midnight (EST) on Wednesday, July 28th, 2010.

Good luck to everyone!!!

Look of the Day: Jessica Alba

Like a breath of fresh summer air is how we are describing Jessica Alba, who just so happens to be our Look of the Week. This gorgeous Chanel frock cinched with a bright red belt was the perfect choice for Ms. Alba as she attended the Chanel Haute-Couture Fall/Winter 2010/2011 show during Paris' Fashion Week. Ms. Alba paired this delightfully feminine dress with edgy lace Louboutin booties.

What do you think of Jessica Alba's 'Look of the Day'?
