NEED HELP WITH AN AD?
Don't stress, I can design a blog button for you. You'll also be able to use this button on your blog, or where ever else you'd like to post it. Ad design is free with the purchase of ad space, and I'd be more than happy to work with you to make your ad more appealing to my readers. If you're interested in ad design please send over three or four pictures you might be interested in having be incorporated, what you'd like it to say, and let me know if you have a particular font you'd like used.

WAYS TO MAXIMIZE YOUR AD SPACE OR ADVERTISE WITHOUT PURCHASING AN AD
A giveaway. It's a great way to get your product seen! Giveaway's on the blog normally get anywhere between 200-1400 entries, last for four days and generate lots of views for you! All giveaways are advertised on my twitter (over 4,000 followers). Please note; there is a small minimum value of $25 for products and $35 minimum value for gift cards. If you're interested please fill out this form. Items submitted without a photo or link to a site where the product can be found will not be considered.

Incorporate an item into an outfit post.  You can choose to send me a product to incorporate into one of my outfit posts. All components of my outfit are listed and linked accordingly. You can see an example here. *All items must be submitted to me for approval before mailing. I only post about items I truly love. Items will NOT be returned afterwards.

Reviews. I will gladly give an unbiased and honest review on the blog of your item. You can see examples of my reviews right here, here and here.  My readers have expressed interest (via survey in January) in handmade clothing, cameras and camera products, among many other things. *All items must be submitted to me for approval before mailing. Negative reviews will not be posted. In the case that I am completely unsatisfied with something you will be contacted so we can discuss the outcome.
