Happy One Year

Dress - ModCloth

Happy One Year Anniversary to BSMMH! I can't believe that it's really been one year since I started this blog. It's been an amazing and awesome journey the whole way, and this blog and you readers have meant more to me than I ever expected. I never expected to have such faithful readers and supporters, let alone followers, and I feel blessed by every single one of you that has ever left me a comment or visited me here on my little piece of the Internet.

I have to be honest, my whole life, I never have felt like much of a fashionista. I come from a family of very fashionable (and impossibly thin) women, and I have always felt a bit like the dowdy one. Being a curvy girl, I never felt like clothes fit me properly, and as much as I loved fashion and pretty things, there were a lot of times where I felt like I should accept the fact that being fashionable just wasn't for everyone. This blog was about me fighting that feeling, and in the beginning, an insecure part of me never believed that anyone would be interested in what I had to offer, let alone be inspired by my styles. But this blog has become my baby over the past year, and the community that you guys have created for me has motivated and inspired me in a way I never thought possible. You really have no idea how much it means to me to hear from you and feel your support. Your comments bring a smile to my face and brighten my whole day!

So I want to thank each and every one of you for supporting BSMMH and making this blog what it is today. With my full-time demanding job, my soapmaking business, and everything else I've got going on, I know BSMMH would have never made it this far (nor would I have felt this good about myself) without you guys, so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! Here's to many more outfits ... and to another year of looking good and feeling good!

And..... SURPRISE! For BSMMH's one-year anniversary, I wanted to do something special, so scroll down for my very first GIVEAWAY!

And now the GIVEAWAY!

Vintage clutch, necklace, brooches, scarf.

I have picked out a handful of vintage goodness from one of my favorite vintage boutiques, and I want to give it away as a present to one of you faithful readers for my one-year anniversary! This is my first giveaway on BSMMH, and I'm super excited to have the chance to thank at least one of you for your faithfulness, your support, and generally for being the fabulous fashionistas that I know each of you is. Leave me a comment below letting me know why you love vintage pieces, and I'll pick a winner at random. You get an extra entry if you're already a follower, or if you become a follower today. The contest closes at 12 a.m. PST, and I'll announce the winner on Monday, so check back to see if you won!

Have a great weekend, loves!
