So I did it. I 100% went for it, and entered the Sunglass Hut Full Time Fabulous Blogger contest! I originally heard about the contest around the time of New York Fashion Week and was actually interviewed about my opinion on it while I was there (I said it was unbelievable of course and that I would definitely enter). I have spent the past month coming up with creative ideas for my entry and planning it all out… not to mention checking the site everyday to see what new entries have been submitted. For the next month readers and followers of the various bloggers/contestants will vote for and view their favorite videos in hopes of sending them on the be a finalist.

Check my video out, vote of course, and view it was much as you possibly can on YouTube over the next month by clicking here! To see it on YouTube, you can click on the link on the video where you see ‘Full Time Fabulous Entry 458’. Check out my picture below and you can see what you’re looking for when you are searching through the masses of videos to find mine! Oh, and you can also do a search and so far I’m the only ‘Christine’ so that will work too :). By voting, you’ll get $20 off on your next purchase at Sunglass Hut!

In the video I wore this dress I recently picked up at H&M when I was in Los Angeles… the amazing crinkle, tissue paper-like but leather look drew me in because it’s (a) unique and you guys know how I like to find unique pieces, and (b) because I have been wanting to add a leather piece to my wardrobe! It’s pretty unbelievable and obviously was not too expensive so I consider this a total score :)

Thanks to all of my readers for your love and support and I hope to bring you fabulous news about the contest soon!
