Happy weekend!  My typical Friday post never occurred due to an afternoon holiday party at the Day Job.  You'll get to see what I wore on Monday :)  It was laid back and fun, and over by 5pm... so I went directly out to dinner with The Hubby and friends.  It was kinda nice to ignore my blogger duties for 12 hours, but now I'm back :)  Just a few quick things for you this morning...

• Amanda at The Upside of Wonder featured me in the 5th edition of her "Hello Blogosphere!" series.  It's a great way to discover new bloggers, and Amanda has a sweet vintage style that I personally love.  Plus she has an Etsy shop full of thrifted and vintage finds!
• Don't forget to enter my giveaway!  I know some people had issues commenting (which I'm still working on, sorry everyone!) so I'm also allowing you to e-mail me with your entry.  So far I've had only a few entries, so don't forget to get yours in.  Just 3 days to go!
• Finally, Friday posts are usually reserved for Friend Friday topics, but I decided to take a back seat this week.  See, the topic was on reader connectedness and how you draw people to your blog.  I feel like I am not one to comment yet on this because I am still very much figuring it out myself!  Head over to ModlyChic to check out Katy's answers and links to everyone else's.
