TWO YEARS!

Two years ago today, I started So Much to Smile About! Even just one year ago, things were pretty different. Since then, I’ve gone to my first New York Fashion Week, switched day jobs, worked with some amazing people and brands, and even appeared on television (and yes, the blog got a bit of a makeover today)! So, for all of that and whatever is still to come, I just wanted to say…

Dress: Dorothy Perkins, Shoes: Diane von Furstenburg

Earlier this week, I posted about how it’s been a bit of a struggle lately to balance everything (work, blog, non-blogging life) – but I just want to stress how much I love this blogging thing (I really, really love it). I also wanted to take this opportunity to remind you how important it is to me that I believe in the brands I work with and that I’m honest and open with you throughout everything (read my full disclosure here). And no matter who I work with or what new things I am doing, I’m still the same girl, still learning, still just sharing the things that are making me smile.

To thank you for reading, I’m giving away one $50 gift card to Sephora along with a bevy of samples from some of my favorite brands (like Stila, Kiehl’s, Sisley, Benefit and Deborah Lippmann)! Just be sure to like So Much to Smile About on facebook if you don’t already and leave a comment below! For extra entries, you can (1) blog about the giveaway and/or (2) post it to your facebook page and/or (3) tweet about the giveaway, per usual! Just leave additional comments below for each extra action! I’ll announce the random winner one week and one day from today (August 24th). Contestants must have a USA shipping address to be eligible for entry.

Want to celebrate with me? I’ll be at Serendipity3 DC on Monday, August 20th from 6-8 and Irish Whiskey Public House on Monday, August 27th from 6-8 with DC Scout! More info here.
