You know what sucks? Mondays. You know what doesn’t suck? Giveaways. Unless you don’t win. So really, giveaways are still Mondays for the vast majority of people. But for one person, a giveaway turns a Monday into a Saturday. In case you aren’t picking up on my really obvious hints, I have a new giveaway for you this week! So get pumped, one person!!!

You could win $25 to spend at Mint Julep Boutique. That’s where I got this adorable striped dress with pointless faux leather pockets (my favorite kind of pockets). It’s really a perfect spring dress and I can’t wait to wear it while eating ice cream on a patio somewhere. But when you combine my impatience with my love for layering, you get this: a winter workwear version of my ice cream dress.

Giveaway is open to US residents only. Ends at the end of the day Sunday, Feb. 22. Read the official rules here, then enter using the Rafflecopter widget below.

I’ve had my eye on these bee-yoo-tiful Everlane loafers for months and I had grand plans to save up my money to buy them (not that they’re THAT expensive, but $170 is enough that I have to plan ahead for it). Unfortunately, I’m not the only fan of these loafers so they’re sold out with a very long waitlist. Who knows, maybe once they’re back in stock I’ll get them in another color, but in the meantime I decided to consider the possibility that there may be another pair of not too manly but just menswear-y enough loafers out there for me. There are plenty of shoes in the sea, as they say. Or something like that.

I did some sole searching (I crack myself up), and found these lovlies at DSW for almost $100 less than what I had planned to spend. Lest I hurt these cheaper loafers’ feelings, I did not settle. I don’t believe in sole mates (last one, I promise). I loved the Everlane loafers, but now I love these. We’re still in the honeymoon phase, so I actually wore them 2 days in a row last week. I’ll be sure to share look #2 with you soon, and don’t be shocked if they’re followed shortly by a look #3. Basically, they make every outfit look better. Ah, young shoe love.
