50 Days to Go: Dear Amazon…

Aug 31, 2012 | 12 Comments

The holiday weekend is upon us!  I got a most awesome email that I had to share today.  It came from Amazon.com.  No, it wasn’t from someone in particular there, but a lovely little newsletter suggesting books that I’d like.

This is what I received, via a screen capture…

New Dress A Day - DIY - Amazon Email - Day 50

WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazon, you recommended me my book – New Dress a Day: The Ultimate DIY Guide to Creating Fashion Dos from Thrift-Store Don’ts – which means one thing. You know me VERY well. OK, actually two things. You have excellent taste. What a treat receiving this in my inbox today!! Woo!!!!

I felt it fitting to post as the unofficial “end of summer” goes down this weekend and fall is right around the corner.  Let’s be honest, I was super giddy too!

What’s on tap for everyone this weekend?  Who has already taken off?  Who’s in town?  Who’s working?  I’ll be here in LA partaking in many wedding festivities, which I’ll keep y’all afloat of via photo documentation on Instagram, and getting upcoming projects all set!!  Hoping to get a little bit of college football and garage sale-ing in too :)

Wishing everyone a happy, restful, and long weekend!  xo

    That made me laugh out loud, and yes, they do have excellent taste. :)

    I will be spending the weekend recovering from a week of migraines. Not a happy camper.

    That’s funny, and what a thrill that must’ve been. Have already pre-ordered my copy! It’s supposed to be a gorgeous weekend here in Pittsburgh, and as one never knows when the last warm weekend will be here in the Northeast(ish), my family is going to hike, bike trail and swim to our hearts content. And a barbeque, fit pit and yummy brunch will all definitely factor in. Your weekend sounds jam-packed with goodness, enjoy!
