I-1 Analog Instant Camera Giveaway!

ecco_domani_provence_holiday_023_r

One of my favorite tricks when hosting a dinner party, or even attending one, is to have an instant analog camera lying around for guests to pick up and use or even just for myself to document the moments. The great thing about instant analog cameras is your picture ejects right after the capture and there you have a little artifact to give to your guest or party host as a token of the event. A beautiful way to remember the time shared.

Ecco Domani Wine, who prides itself on creating a great, crowd pleasing wine, served for any occasion is all about simple ways to elevate your entertaining style. So as a tip from this photographer, for entertaining based upon my recent Provence inspired holiday feast, give your guests the fun and discovery of instant photography which you can hold in your hand!

Thanks to the generosity of Ecco Domani Wine we are giving away TWO of the new I-1 analog instant camera by Impossible Project for you to use over the holidays at your own gatherings! I have been lusting after this camera myself and recently picked one up in Paris for hosting my own dinner party in France. The dreaminess of the camera’s images are painterly and beautiful, each individual and one of a kind, like each of us.

Giveaway!

Last year I had the unforgettable experience of staying in Kelly Wearstler’s Malibu mansion for a photoshoot. I can tell you, everything this woman designs is unique, artistic, and seriously special… kind of like Of a Kind.

Of a Kind sells limited-edition pieces from emerging fashion designers and tells their stories online. It is hands down the best place to discover designers and own their pieces! Of a Kind’s recent collaboration with Kelly Wearstler yielded this beautiful hand casted Pyrite Facet Cuff (value of $290) and we are giving ONE of these beauties away!.. which is super special because there are only 50 in the whole wide world.

 How to enter: Super simple, just sign up for their (very well written & beautiful) mailing list HERE.

A winner will be chosen on December 14th!

While you are waiting to find out if you’ve won, you can “meet the designer” or read “behind the scenes” on the editions page. That’s one of the reasons I heart Of a Kind… everything is better with a story.

Looking for unique holiday gifts and want to support up and coming designers? I think this is perfect for him; a great gift for a little sister; what female photographer wouldn’t love to have this?; and I might actually buy this one for myself!

Happy Shopping!

A Beautiful Giveaway

Yesterday we went on a journey to beautiful Norway to learn about Restorsea‘s roots of nautral beauty and today I’m bringing some back to share with you! It’s so good I’ve even stopped wearing foundation my skin is so hydrated, even toned and glow-y!

I asked my new friends at Restorsea if I could do a giveaway of the Restorsea Day Cream ($150 value) and Eye Cream ($85 value)  together because it just isn’t fair for me to only tell you all about it, you must try it!

To enter: Super simple, tweet to @Restorsea or leave a comment on their facebook wall!

Example tweet: I’d love to try the magic of @Restorsea too! 

Restorsea is a new beauty product born out of nature. From the salmon hatchery in Norway, a special enzyme released during the birth of baby salmon makes up the magic ingredient in this product. From this you achieve intense hydration, improvement in elasticity, radiance and smoothness. The entirety of the product is comprised of ingredients found in nature.

I heart it.

The giveaway is now closed…someone’s about to get glowy!
