I write LDS "chick lit." Literature for chicks. Light, fun, sassy stuff. And chick lit has some conventions. Snappy banter, good looking love interests, fashion. Oh, yes, lots of fashion. I love fashion. I don't stay on top of the trends like I used to because I'm in the house so much now since my two little ones are really, really little and really, really hard to take out by myself. But I still love fashion and writing it into my books is a fun way to "dress" vicariously through my characters' wardrobes.


So this week's theme for giveaways is about fashion. First up, accessories. I love a great statement necklace and I'm absolutely smitten by this one from the girls at iCandy Handmade. Autie made this out of sweaters she recycled from a thrift store. I LOVE IT. It's fun and whimsical and sassy. And now you can win it:

For a look that's both earthy and sophisticated, my talented woodworking husband is offering up one of each of these necklaces:

I'm wearing this style in the picture on yesterday's post.

I love the lift a new dress gives me, and this one is fantastic for spring. It's a Shabby Apple exclusive and I adore it. It's available in size Medium for this giveaway, so if it doesn't fit you, then you may have a daughter/sister/friend who'd love it as a gift.

Tomorrow's post is going to deal with lists. I'm ALL ABOUT lists. Oh, yes. Lists, lists, lists. I might even make lists of lists. And then cross that off my list. Yeah, baby!
