Back Home and Giveaway WINNER!

I know I promised the winner of the Tara Chial Necklace giveaway to be announced yesterday but if you had been flying for 8 hours and in traffic for another 2, you would have probably delay the announcement as well.  I can give you more valid excuses but I think these should suffice.
So... the winner... of my first giveaway... is........ Samantha Elizabeth from Glitter&Lace.  If you haven't heard of her blog, I suggest you stop by. Definitely one worth spending some time in and reading everything she has to say. Thanks everyone for participating and I am looking forward to giving away some more great stuff so stay tuned!  

On another note, remember when I had a theory tropical weather loved me. Well, again, I have been proven right. I'd heard Panama was becoming close to hurricane territory so I was weary about the situation. However,  today was a gorgeous day. Other than the occasional one minute rain drops during the afternoon, it was a perfect day. This was my view in the morning (I did went tanning for 30 mins but many errands were calling and I had to stop). Notice the huge GAP sign at the back... yup, we are that modern!!

 I am terribly sorry I have been out of the loop but you know how this season gets with all  the Christmas shopping overdue and the traffic from last-minute shoppers who are desperate to get to the last Michael Kors bag in the store. Heading out for some bday celebrations tonight... will share the outfit tomorrow!
