to you, from me.

Just 49 short days ago, I finally took the plunge...I created a blogger account and started {long distance loving}. Since then, I've written 45 {now 46} posts and managed to find 98 of you {at last count} who care to read what I write. 

To celebrate my almost 50th post, I want to give something back to you. Each and every one of you enrich my life on a daily basis. The last eight weeks have brought me so much happiness...due {in large part} to all of you--so please consider what I'm about to share a little thank-you gift! 

To you, from me--{av}:

 $50 to Rent the Runway. 

{Yes. I said $50.} 

Why? Because you're worth it!

I professed my love of this website a few weeks ago...

and I want you to be able to enjoy it too!

How do you enter, you ask? First things first, you must be a follower of this blog. From there, you need to leave a comment below--reminding me you're a follower and telling me what dress you would pick with your winnings. {I'd also need your email address if it isn't listed somewhere on your blog.} You have until Sunday, January 9th to enter! I can't wait to see what dresses you all pick--I only wish I could give each and every one of you the chance to use on Rent the Runway on my dime. Sadly, I'm not a highroller!

Here's one of my new favorites, from Shoshanna, the "It's Your Birthday" Dress! Fun, right? I'm not normally a pink girl, but this one calls my name. 

Too bad my birthday isn't until May ;)

Just so you know, you can get extra entries in a couple of ways: first, you can get two extra entries by letting your blog readers know about this giveaway and, second, you can get one extra entry by getting the word out via twitter {I just joined--it's still in development, but you can follow me here!}. To have your extra entries count, you'll need to email me at {longdistanceloving at gmail dot com}.

At the end of the day, just know this:  

each of you bring me so much joy and love, 

so thank you from the bottom of my heart! 

Much love to you--and enjoy! 

xoxo {av}

Here is the fine print: This giveaway closes on Sunday, January 9th at 6:00PM EST. The winner will be chosen at random and will be announced on Sunday night at 8:00PM EST.  There is a maximum of 4 entries per person {max would be one comment, one blog mention, and one tweet.} Unfortunately, it is open only to my followers in the United States. Rent the Runway only ships within the USA, so don't blame me ;) {I promise to have a giveaway in the future which would suit your fancy if you live outside of the States.} If you have any other questions, please contact me!
