I don’t know if I’m getting older or just wiser, but my latest obsession has become solid tees that I can wear with fun accessories and a statement shoe. Whether it’s a Vince, Target, or in this case, Stray Heart tee, it’s something that you can keep forever, transition into seasons easily, and layer up or down. Def wiser…

It’s right around now when I whine every time I have to put on a jacket, a dark blouse, or a pair of tights. The weather is still freezing, but being in the month of April and seeing the sun is such a tease. So last weekend I basically said screw it, and I busted out these new sandals and colored, flowy tank I had been hiding in my closet. My feet and skin look so beyond pale, so I tried to go for the Anne Hathaway semi-smile, uber white skin, and bold lips.

Happy Belated Easter to all of you who celebrated! I have not given VF much TLC lately because I have been slammed at work (full-time jobs are for the birds) and busy running around. I am marking this start of spring as a time to start accomplishing the little things I’ve been putting off like working on my blog, cleaning my room, and taking better care of myself. Besides the fact that my hair and nails are in dire need of maintenance, that also means eating healthier. A family friend of ours recommended these new NoGii Bars (by The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who spells her first name like my middle name, with an S not a Z), that I must admit taste more like a candy bar than they do something from the health food aisle. They are easy to travel with, just the right amount of filling, and have the added bonus of being gluten free. (Check here to find out where you can buy them!)

Two years and counting…thank you all so much for all your support! I had my first VF party last Friday (few pics below), and I am now hosting my first “favorite things giveaway” (you get a car, and you get a car; sorry, I had to) in honor of the milestone. This is a basket of various items I received (and wore) from some of my favorite brands. Thank you to all for checking back and enjoying VF as much as I do. Below is a list of all the sponsors who donated both to my party goodie bags and to the “favorite things” giveaway. I cannot thank those who donated enough, as well as for their generosity. See below for all the details. Good luck!
In the “favorite things” basket: Hailmary Wrap Bracelet (as seen here, here and here ), Goodies From Macy’s (where I hosted FNO), Salon 1800 Hair Samples (where I get my hair done), Junk Food Bulls L/S Tee (as seen here), Gift Certificate to Stilettos (shoes seen here, here, here and here), Chanel Notebook, Clutch from Ann Taylor (similar to this one but in black and beaded), Gift Certificate to Akira Shoes (shoes seen here, here, here and here).
To enter to win this fabulous basket, Tweet, Facebook, Pin or Instagram a picture of you wearing something “inspired” by Vanilla Fringe OR a dish you saw the recipe of on Vanilla Fringe and made yourself OR a DIY project you saw on VF (or were inspired to make because of the blog) OR -- you catch my drift. Be sure to tag VF (so I can see all the great pics). If there’s a good showing, I may have enough goodies to do a 2nd place winner! Contest will close and the winner will be picked on Monday. Good luck! UPDATE: CONGRATS ALLISON BOWDEN! YOU WIN!
Large tassle balloons, white tulips & a Diptyque candle, menu on our vintage chalkboard, and glitter lip & mustache straws for a little fun.
