Keep Warm, Look Snazzy Scarf Swap!

I participated in Krysten's blog swap this year and am super excited to share my goodies (um..wait...that sounds pervy). She writes for the awesome blog, Why Girls Are Weird. The rules were simple: include some autumnal things and a scarf. It's no secret I'm quite the Anglophile--so I was very pleased to swap with Laura, from the UK. Check out her blog Whimsical Nothings. I hope she likes what I got her! Here's my loot:


  • The scarf is the background, from H&M
  • Recipe cards full of fall faves
  • Socks from Top Shop
  • The ELLE note from Laura
  • Two wrapped packages, below:



  • Kate Lipstick, 03, by Rimmel, Limited Edition 
  • Nail Paint by Barry M, in Dusky Mauve
  • Scarf. H&M

  • Charlie, the scarf-wearing Wunderpup, not included

Do you participate/like blog swaps? Does you dog wear scarves? ;)


Bonus question: What are your weekend plans? I'll be recovering from this nasty cold. I've got some great cold remedies that I'll be sharing soon AND a celeb-inspired hair tutorial. What else what you like to see?


PS: My blog got over five thousand views yesterday--just in one day--that's a big deal to me--so thanks to everyone who stopped by and/or left a comment. YOU made my day.

    How fun, I would love to participate in a swap! And I'm so jealous of that lipstick...I assume it's either for Kate Moss or Kate Middleton. Both of whom I LOVE!!! I plan on taking it easy this weekend and baking some autumn treats! Feel better!

    Congratulations on your milestone viewing mark!! That is exciting :)

    I do wear scarves and I LOVE them. They are one of my favorite accessories. (I also love H&M. Cute stuff at a reasonable price!)

    My plans are very low key. Study, study, study. No hard core partying for me...at least that I know of yet. LOL

    Happy weekend!

    I really enjoyed this swap as well! I've taken part in three swaps and have had such great experiences so far. Rimmel make great products, what a great swap package!

    Barry M nail polish is my fave! Whenever I'm back in Dublin I stock up.
    Weekend plans... fondue party tonight and then off to Avignon tomorrow to meet up with some other expats... so excited to speak English for the day!
    Bon weekend!
