Goodnight Macaroon $100 Giveaway

I don't have too much random for you ladies and gents today. Same thing around here, just a different day. I still miss my dog and five weeks until he's home from bird dog training. My allergies are still hell on wheels. One week with Invisalign and it hasn't been too terribly bad, pain wise. My toes and fingers are cramping from all the crossing they have been doing for iHeartRadio to come through for me. I did get an email from them. Hopefully I can share more news...good news on that later. Before we get to the good stuff, one more thing. My house has gone through three boxes of  Girl Scout Thin Mints in one week's time. Yep, we don't mess around in this house. Please tell me we aren't the only ones getting on cookies on.

Goodnight Macaroon Fur Vest c/o (recommend to size up) // Wallis Blouse c/o // Forever 21 Faux Leather Pants (option here and here) // Daily Look Heels (option here and here) // MintSugar Boutique Tassel Necklace (option here) // Forever 21 Leopard Clutch (option here and here) // Kendra Scott Ring c/o The Jeweler's Wife

Okay, okay, enough babbling, time for the goods. Love this black, fur vest? I know, it's pretty rad. I found it at Goodnight Macaroon. If you haven't heard of this online boutique, hold onto your seat and break open you wallet. The best way I can describe it is feminine, sophisticated, classic and the perfect place to find all your wardrobe staples. Goodnight Macaroon has been ranked in the top 10 online shopping boutiques in the entire world. They have a knack for discovering celebrity inspired styles and offering them to us all in one place. One style icon we all know, Olivia Palermo, has been seen wearing their pieces and ones that are identical on the regular. I mean, I was sold then and there. Never did I think I would own something that Miss Olivia had hanging in her own closet. Need an example? See for yourself. This sweater has sold out once and there are only a few left remaining. 

I have rounded up ten favorites from their boutique, but could easily add thirty more. Use the code BSSS at checkout for 20% OFF YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE for the next 48 hours! I also added these same pieces to my SHOP tab, if you ever need to take a quick glance back. I usually add new items to my wish list on a weekly basis.

Today, Goodnight Macaroon is offering you the chance to win $100 to their boutique. How do you like those macaroons? Pretty spectacular, right? Don't forget you will receive 20% OFF YOUR ORDER when using the code BSSS (sale items not included). Happy shopping!

Super Bowl Style - $250 Giveaway

As we all know the biggest day in football is coming up next Sunday. It's one of the biggest excuses to get together with friends and family, consume almost as many calories as we did over the holidays, get in on any Super Bowl square that we can, talk trash to the officials like they can actually hear us through the television screen and of course anticipate all the commercials.

Forever 21 Top // Merona Cardigan // Mossimo Denim // Converse Chuck Taylors // Forever 21 Crossbody // Michael Kors Watch // Alex and Ani Charm Bangle // Football Studs // Forever 21 Baseball Hat

I always like to figure out a comfortable and fun style to get in the spirit of the Super Bowl game. Now, if the Houston Texans were playing on Sunday, believe me, you guys would be seeing head to toe gear, but since their season was quite embarrassing to say the least, I am opting for a neutral look that incorporates a little team spirit. I thought it was fitting to post this GO tee from Forever 21 because we all know the traditional "Go, Fight, Win" chant. I plan to play a little game on Sunday and see how many times the word "GO!" is used shouted. Now, if I only planned this outfit a little more in advance. These football studs and Alex and Ani bangle would be my winning tickets to being 100% game day ready.

Today I have teamed up with 12 amazing ladies with blogs of all genres to give one lucky reader a chance to win $250 e-card from Coupons.com. Be sure to check out all the Super Bowl Sales going on as we speak for your chance to save.

Lipgloss & Crayons / Hooah & Hiccups / Still Being Molly / For Lauren & Lauren /

This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only and one lucky reader a chance to win a $250 e-gift card to either Amazon or a store from this page: http://www.staples.com/E-Gift-Cards/cat_CL168827

I Heart You, iHeartRadio Country Fest

This is me, in all my Texas, home grown roots, glory. Yes, I love wearing heels, all things trendy, sassy, classic, streamlined and girly, but at the end of the day, slipping on a pair of cowgirl boots just seems to put me into my element. This right here, is Shanna.

If you live in Texas, you know that we are all gearing up for rodeo and livestock show season. I love a good dose of boots, broncs and bulls, but what really gets me most excited are the concerts and musicians that perform after every rodeo.

Which leads me to my next ramble. You see, iHeartRadio recently announced that they are bringing a Country Festival to Austin. Austin, you say? How in the world did my city score such an incredible, everyone wants to go show? Not sure, but I am beside myself with excitement...or I was up until Saturday.  

I tried Thursday morning to score presale ticket to the iHeartRadio Country Fest with so such luck. They sold out in less than 15 minutes. No worries. I will try again on Saturday when the tickets go on sale to the public. I stopped everything I was doing, made sure my calendar was clear and hopped online before 11:00 AM which was the time tickets went on sale. I tried and tried...and cried...and had my toes crossed...and refreshed my computer screen a million times. I had multiple browsers open...I felt like a sports bookey. Thirty minutes passed....no tickets. I tweeted iHeart Radio to see if they were sold out. They immediately replied and said, "NO...keep trying...", so I did. Then my heart dropped and stomach tumbled....SOLD OUT! NOOOOOO! What???? Tears....sweats...anger...and pure defeat. 

Sooooo, to make a very short story long, I am now going to email, Tweet and Facebook iHeartRadio, Bobby Bones and Clear Channel Radio  every day until the show. You know why? I will tell you.

My goal is to be the official style blogger for the Country Festival. I will report fashion/street style of concert goers for the event. I can snap pictures and share what all the ladies are wearing. Give ideas for country concert style and stay up to the minute on all the behind the scene details before and after the show. I will tweet, Facebook, Instagram, create style boards on my blog before the festival. I can be the Giuliana Rancic of the iHeart Radio Country Fest or whatever iHeartRadio wants me to be. 

What do I wear to iHeartRadio Country Fest? I am sure that will be a question hundreds of women will ask because this is the hottest ticket in town. All the ladies are going to want to put their best boot forward and I am here to help. Here is just one idea that came to mind....

I may not be in radio or a popular television personality, but I do know country concert style. I also have a pretty amazing group of readers and friends here on this blog and in social media world that will be on board leading up to the big night's event.

Can someone help a sister out and let iHeartRadio know that you think of this is a magical idea and that you will follow along starting today all the way until March 29th? I would totally go grab some tickets from the greedy scalpers that pretty much consumed the majority of them, but this girl can't swallow paying $200 per ticket for the nose bleed section. 

And in case you are wondering why I am the new crazy lady in town, posting so desperately and begging...let me share the line up in case you don't know:

Luke Bryan, Jason Alden, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Eric Church, Hunter Hayes, Jake Owen, Florida Georgia Line and Dan + Shay, plus they are adding more!

If you are any kind of country music fan, you know this is insane. I need to be there. It is in my backyard and I know that I would do a dang good job promoting fashion/style ideas before the show, share what the hottest ladies in the U.S. are wearing the night of and give a full recap after the show.

Anyone want to help me? iHeartRadio? Bobby Bones? Clear Channel? Country Festival employees? Bueller? 

I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I will work it to the bone, get fans involved and make you guys proud. Oh my heavens, I have so many more ideas, but don't want to share all my goods in one post. Hopefully someone, anyone will email me with interest so I can send my overflowing list of brainstorming goodness their way!
