don't let it go to your head

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here's the Glamour shot! I've been meaning to scan it, but that's hard to do without a scanner. Luckily, the people at Glamour were kind enough to post it on their blog Slaves to Fashion . Someone even left a nice comment about it :)



Recently, my father-in-law asked me if it was "all going to my head." So far no, it's still pretty weird seeing myself in a magazine. The more appropriate phrase would be "It's hard to wrap my head around it." Then, while I was doing the washing up, I realized despite my health problems and the drama my feet caused this past year, I don't feel like I missed out on any opportunities. I feel very accomplished, and that's a good feeling.

Share the Wealth Giveaway

I have been very lucky this past year and feel that I should share some of my luck with my readers. That brings us to 2012's first giveaway! You will all have the chance to enter, and one lucky reader will win the Nine West bag I got from Marie Claire as part of my prize package. The winner will also receive the January issue of UK Glamour. My dad brought this back from England :) Ok, so if you're from the UK, it won't be that exciting, but it's still a free magazine!

So about the bag. As you can see in the picture above, it's a tote with a silver woven exterior. The interior is lined with fabric and features a large pocket, small zippered pocket, and a magnetic snap closure. It's an all-around great bag!

You can enter several different ways:
1. Follow me via bloglovin' or Google (Click "Follow" on the right side of the blog) +1 entry

2. LIKE Fleur d'Elise on Facebook +1 entry

3. Post a link to the giveaway on your blog +2 entries

Remember to leave a comment telling me which one you did and post a link if you mentioned me on your blog!

Giveaway ends January 25th, 2012

It's here!

Just picked up a couple copies of the February 2012 issue of Glamour. One for me and one for my husband's family. I am soooo happy with the picture. I like it a lot more than the one in Marie Claire, but I can't complain really! What a great start to the year :)
