I win!

 I knew I would (eventually). Some of you who know me, may know that I have an affinity for trying to win things. I love scratch off tickets, occasionally play the lotto, and enter sweepstakes online, oh, pretty much whenever I have some free time at work.And get this, I actually think I'm going to win the stuff every time I try.


I figure I've got all these great friends, a great family, a pretty sweet apartment, a J-O-B, and I live in the city I love. I'm a pretty lucky gal, why shouldn't I win? Now I have 4 tickets to a NYC fashion show next week to top it all off. Thanks ELLE! I could not be more excited. Attending a fashion week show has been on my list of things to do since I moved to NYC, and now I've got tix, and seats to see one with 3 yet to be determined guests. Yay!

The only unfortunate part to this whole scenario is that now it's just reinforced my belief that yes, I really can win! Kind of like that one time I won $80 on a $1 scratch off. Let's just say that my little trying to win things habit doesn't seem like it will be waning anytime soon...

One of these days, I'm going to win

One of my favorite pastimes when I’ve completed my daily crawl of my favorite blogs, NYC events, and news sites is to enter online sweepstakes. They are giving away some really cool stuff out there! There are trips (woman’s day), jewelry (elle), home goods, cool gadgets, and most recently cool jeans (glamour). Call it a guilty pleasure if you want. I just call it fun.

I think it’s tied to my total magazine obsession, and my love of scratch off tickets. Combine magazine and an unlikely chance of winning something awesome, and it’s pretty much my perfect idea of mindless entertainment. The fun part is, that I really actually think I’m going to win when I enter, and contemplate how awesome it’s going to be when I load up all this free loot. In most of the magazines I subscribe to, there’s always at least one page telling you to visit their website to win awesome things.

My most recent obsession is the Levi’s jean dress pictured above that Glamour.com is giving away. I am loving the return of jean everything this season. It would be adorable with a belt and some sparkly sandals, or a hat and leggings. It just looks so comfy. At only $70, I might just pick one up if I don’t win (but that probably won’t happen).
