21st Birthday Giveaway Gala {16 prizes!!!} (CLOSED)

It is my 21st birthday today and I'm hosting a huge giveaway today {there will be five more single giveaway posts later today} in honor of my birthday. This is my thank you present to all of you who follow my blog, both old and new readers! =)

Now I was going to post a new giveaway post every hour for twenty-one hours. But I thought, who is going to want to enter so many giveaways? Also time got away from me {blogger wouldn't let me upload pictures last week} and I ran out of enough time to post a review of everyone's shop. So we will have to do it this way. I hope y'all don't mind! So without further ado, the very long list of prizes that 16 of you will be winning.

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful day. I know I did. Oh, you will never believe what I saw tonight! Floating lanterns!! It was so cool to see them across the sky! I'll have to see if Gabrielle took a picture of them. If she did I'll post a picture for y'all to see. =)

You may wonder, where is outfit number twenty? Well....I didn't remember to take pictures of my outfit yesterday until 10:50PM. Yep, just a little too late to take pictures of my outfit. It's really hard to remember to take pictures on the week-end and during the holiday's. So I'll just tell y'all what I wore. =) Let's see...ah, yes, I wore my shorts {hand-me-down Gap}, blue ruffle t-shirt {Ann Taylor}, red polka-dot scarf {Target}, and sandals {Forever 21}.

I really like the outfit I wore to church today. It's a little vintage-y and even a little dash of patriotic. You know what? I really like tucking my Anthropologie tunic into high-waisted skirts. It's cute and different. Oh, I also finished my birthday dress today. It's so cute and something Casey of Elegant Musings would wear. I can't wait to show it to y'all either on Tuesday, or Wednesday. ;-)

In the good old summertime Blog Party

I love the movie reference this blog party has {old readers may remember I did a movie review last year of this film}. Well anyways, I have found a blog party that has a true weakness for me - old movies! I can NOT let a blog party that includes old movies have me not attend. It's just not right. =)


This week you have a chance to win either Casablanca on DVD or a Bottle-Cap necklace. I'm going for the Casablanca DVD. Why? It has one of my favorite actresses in it - Ingrid Bergman. Enough said.


Let's see here....what are the questions I have to answer? Ah, yes. Here they are.


1. What's your favorite 'old movie' of all time? {Anything before 1970s} - This is a very hard question for me. Why? Most of the movies I watch ARE before the 1970s. ;-) Also, I don't know if I can just pick one movie. I shall name my top three, or so.

Roman Holiday {1953} (movie review)

It has Audrey Hepburn & Gregory Peck + takes place in Rome, Italy + She's a princess and they can't be together = One fabulous movie that I adore! 

You Can't Take it With You {1938} (movie review)

James Stewart and Jean Arthur are in it + it's directed by Frank Capra + has a great storyline = One darling film! 

Desperate Journey {1942} (movie review)

Steller cast {Errol Flynn, Ronald Reagen, Alan Hale, Ronald Sinclair} + the story has the feeling of a G.A. Henty book + it's a fun & exciting WW2 film = One movie I don't mind watching over and over again. =)

I think I'll stop there. I could mention more..*coughs* "Listen, Darling," "It Happened One Night," "His Girl Friday," "The Amazing Mrs. Holiday," "The Sound of Music," "High Society"....*ends coughing fit*

2. Who is your favorite b&w actor? Oh, dear. I really like the following actors {in no order}. Yes, I said "the following." ;-) Don't you guys know by now that I can never pick just one. Just saying. 

                                Cary Grant       Freddie Bartholomew

                           Ronald Reagan    Donald O'Connor

                           James Stewart          Gregory Peck

                            Errol Flynn             Gene Kelly

3. Who is your favorite b&w actress? Once again, I have more than one. ;-) But you knew that. 

 

 Audrey Hepburn          Grace Kelly

 

Jean Arthur         Olivia de Havilland 

 

Deanna Durbin          Teresa Wright

 

Ingrid Bergman         Myrna Loy

4. Why do you love vintage/shabby-chic? You know what? I really don't know why. I just grew up watching old movies and loving their clothes! And the shabby-chic style is just - so me. It's vintage, girly, and if your talking home decor, a touch of country. 

5. What's your favorite era? (1920s, WWII, etc...) It would have to be between the 1940s & 50s. Most of the movies I watch and magazines I own are from the 40s. But the 1950s clothing looks much better on me, as do the early 1960s.

30 for 30 Remix - Outfit 19

White Tank J.C. Penny / Yellow Striped Cardigan Target / White Skirt made by yours truly / Cameo Necklace Portobello Road Market / Owl Ring Kohl's / Sandals Forever 21 / Purple Leaf Earrings AmandaBeth Online

When I woke up this morning it just felt like it was going to be hot. Do you ever get that feeling? Well, I do and I had that feeling today. So I dressed accordingly - in white with a pop of color. One of my favorite looks in the "good old summertime." {comment if you know where I got that from.} =) 


I'm so excited that after tomorrow I'll only have 10 more outfits to do! The end is near! How exciting is that! But you know what? I've enjoyed posting my outfit posts everyday.

My friends Emily Rose and Breezy of Noble Rose Press are having a sale. All of their paper dolls and coloring book are on sale for $7 until Monday, July 4th, at Midnight. I adore their paper dolls! They are all Christian ladies of our past and they are dressed modestly. Plus they just look beautiful! If you haven't heard of them before go check out their website and blogs. 


Also as today is the first day of July. I have a bunch of new sponsors that you can find on the sidebar. Be sure to check out their sites! I won't do a sponsor post right now because you will find out all about them on July 5th. ;-)
