One reader will win a beautiful set of cufflinks from The Cuft Lynx!When it comes to gifts for men, I will admit that most of the time I am at a loss. To give you a hint, when I was little my dad got a lot of ties. I think that if a gift for a man can be functional and classy while, at the same time, show off his personality then you've got an amazing gift. When I came across The Cuft Lynx on Etsy I was absolutely mesmerized by all of the wonderful items that would be the perfect gift for any man and for any occasion. This shop has amazingly detailed, finely engraved, mother-of-pearl cufflinks and money clips. Even if the man in your life never wears suits or dress clothing, what man doesn't need a classy and stylish money clip? I was also thoroughly pleased to discover that any of the cuff links can be transformed into earrings or pendants. I was personally attracted to quite a few pieces for myself. In addition to the many designs that The Cuft Lynx offers on their site, they also take custom orders for personalized initials and specialty fonts. All of the cufflinks and money clips are gorgeous mother-of-pearl but, also come in sterling silver.The Cuft Lynx sent me one of their money clips. I was delighted to show my husband this bat clip.
The photograph really cannot show how beautiful the mother-of-pearl is. It's wonderfully irridescent and such a classy way for my hubby to show off his childlike love of Batman! I'm thinking I should surprise him and get the cufflinks to match!Check out some of these other amazing items from The Cuft Lynx.
These Mother of Pearl King Engraved Cuff links are both elegant and classic pieces that will last a lifetime.
With these cufflinks letters of your choice are imprinted on silver leaf in the font shown,
set in a brass setting with a resin glaze and affixed to silver
toggles.
Looking for the perfect gift for the groom? I cannot imagine a more perfect gift than these.
The Cuft Lynx is giving this trendy pair to one of my readers.

One reader will win a winter accessory from Toil and Trouble.I look forward to Fall, in part, because of all the cute and comfy accessories. Though, in South Texas, I'm not always able to wear them for that long! I'm always envious when I see those who get to experience the beauty of Fall and all of the stylish accessories that go along with the cooler weather. Despite the general lack of cold temperatures in my region, I do still love the accessories! I was thrilled to find Toil and Trouble, a shop on Etsy that carries, not only amazing winter scarves and cowls but, also has some unique summer scarves as well.The creativity behind the items at Toil and Trouble started at an early age. Ana, the shop's owner, says "As a child, I would design bold dresses for my grandmother, each on a
single sheet of paper and appropriately colored in crayons. She used to
humor me and say she would have them made one day." Lucky for us, she's taken her love of design and her training in architecture to create amazingly stylish and classic pieces that will carry you through winter after winter.The range of accessories at Toil and Trouble is wonderful. Ana creates everything from simple scarves...
to wonderful cowls and scarflettes for you folks in the beautiful snow-filled areas...
and even these amazing and uber-stylish summer scarves that are uniquely upcycled from super soft tshirts...
Ana sent me one of these amazing summer scarf necklaces in a lovely shade of gray. I love it. I had never seen anything like it and I really enjoy having such a unique accessory. The versatility is really nice as well. I can wear it with my summer tanks as a necklace and I'm really looking forward to wearing it doubled around my neck this winter. I sometimes have a problem with necklaces because they can irritate my skin or just become slightly annoying hanging around my neck. They are also always prone to being broken by little hands tugging at them. With this, I avoid both any discomfort and any chance of it being broken! Oh, and I threw myself into an already in progress Bro's Grafix photoshoot to snag this shot.
No matter the temperature of your Fall season, the accessories from Toil and Trouble will keep you looking H-O-T! Ana would love to offer this cute necklette to one of my readers!

One reader will win a top of their choice from True Kiss Clothing.I never realized how much my style would change as I got older and had kids. It's much harder these days to find simple clothing that still creates a statement of style and sophistication. I'm far past the days of tiny dresses and too tight tops. Though, I'm not ready to give up and wear sweats all the time! It can be difficult to find clothing that looks high fashion, fits me well, is versatile for my mommyhood life, and doesn't make my husband irate when he sees the bill! Luckily, I found True Kiss Clothing. I love this company. They are creating clothing for women that is not only stylish but, unbelievably affordable! All of the clothing at True Kiss is definitely hip enough for a young woman, while remaining tasteful and classic enough for women who's party days are behind them. True Kiss Clothing seems determined to offer pieces that can definitely become classics. You know, those clothes in your wardrobe that you were lucky enough to find because they will never go out of style! In my opinion, that is what True Kiss Clothing offers. The lovely people at True Kiss Clothing sent me the Plum Vee Neck Tie Dye Tunic Top and I absolutely adore it.
One of the best things about this top is how flattering it is. This is definitely a top for any body type. I also really like how versatile it is. I could easily wear this with jeans for a bbq with friends, dressed up for a night out with the hubby, with shorts and a tank underneath for a shopping trip, or even tossed over a bathing suit at the beach. With how fast paced my life is and how last minute plans seem to always come up, I love having something so versatile in my wardrobe. 
All of the tops at True Kiss Clothing are like that! I am in love with this crocheted neck top.
This top with wonderful braided detailing at the top looks so comfy. I'm sure I'd wear it all the time. 
I like to wear dresses in the summertime but, it's hard to find something that is comfortable and casual but, doesn't cost a bundle. This one is perfect.
Need some accessories? They've got those too! These retro bangles are a definite must-have! So hip and trendy and sure to go with everything in your closet!
I am so happy to have found True Kiss Clothing and excited to be able to offer one of you a choice of any top in their collection!

One reader will win an amazing tshirt from Peace Love Mom!For the past month, one of my go-to shirts has been my Peace Love Mom tee. I love the milk chocolate color and the soft, tagless feel of the tee. I also don't mind the compliments! When I wear my Grateful Mom shirt out I am generally stopped no less than 3 times and asked where I got my shirt. 
Peace Love Mom began with three moms who wanted to create items to celebrate motherhood. I think all of their designs are inspiring and love that they cover all facets of motherhood. Imagine the kids whirlwinding around you, screaming for more cookies, up past their bedtime and, as you chase them you pass a mirror. Of course your hair is frazzled and your makeup is mostly coming off but, your shirt reads "Lucky Mom" or "Grateful Mom". What a wonderfully stylish reminder! There are tees for every mom out there. The "Green Mom" is a tee made from organic cotton.
The "Powerful Mom" tee is helping to empower even more women. $3 from each Powerful Mom tee sold goes to CARE, non-profit humanitarian organization fighting global poverty, to help advance their work to empower women all over the world.
Celebrities are loving these tees as well. Stars like Cheryl Hines and Cindy Crawford rock their Peace Love Mom tees. 
Peace Love Mom has tons of amazing tees and thermals for mom but, also has perfect shirts for the kids and babies. 
Want more? How about totes, hats and jewelry? Peace Love Mom has it all!
Peace Love Mom would like to give one of my readers this awesome Peace Sign Dot Pumpkin Burn Out Vneck Tee!
