Congratulations to Leesh who won an incredible original painting by the lovely Lisa Romero! Thank you, Lisa, for giving away such a great piece!
And to answer the question, my favorite shoes (for the past few years at least) are a pair of worn-in camouflage Converse All-Stars. I wear them way too often, with more outfits than could ever be deemed acceptable. I heart them!

I’ve been a fan of the art and illustration of Lisa Romero for quite some time and I love her tendency to gravitate towards the girlish things in life. You can check out her portfolio at her site, paper bullet, and flickr for yourself because, dang, this lady has got some serious talent! And of course don’t forget her shop… you’d be missing out on awesomeness.
This week one of you have the opportunity to win an original piece of Lisa’s work! That’s right, an original, not a print! It’s ink and acrylic on watercolor paper and measures 5.25 X 6.25.
To Enter, Tell Me:
1. All about your favorite pair of shoes!
2. Your email address to be notified if you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, November 9th at 9am CST
Congratulations to our winner, Michelle! (And her lucky boss!) And a BIG thank you to Aster + Sage for their sweet little bags.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Who would you give the second bag to?
2. Your email address to be notified should you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. And do it all before Monday, November 2 at 9am CST. This giveaway is only for those who live in the continental US.
Best of luck!

Congratulations missrantsypants! And thank you to Marta for giving away such an adorable (and much coveted!) mini diary.
Since I asked about your last memorable dream, well, I guess it’s only fair that I spill my own. It was about a guy I briefly dated in college and then again a few years ago. In the dream he told me – via Sharpie-written note – that he was engaged to the girl he left me for. And oddly enough, that dream stuck with me for a few days. It’s so interesting the way our subconscious minds work!
