Don't you hate when you have to detag yourself from those (SURPRISE!) unwanted photos that turn up front and center on your Facebook wall after a crazy night out? I know the pain - and recently had to detag a few of myself on my own profile.

Famous Footwear recently launched a campaign - Are You Tagworthy? - in an effort to combat those terrible, awful, no good photos. They say: start with your feet! With the right pair of shoes you can be ready and waiting to be tagged. No need to worry about finding the right dress. Or losing a few pounds. Just find that perfect pair and you are on your way.

I like this philosophy.

Take the quiz to see if you are tagworthy.

Or click here to get the above offer.

Famous Footwear is ALSO generously providing a $25 Famous Footwear Gift Card to one lucky around the way girl reader!

Happy Friday everyone! Any exciting weekend plans?

I have a bachelorette party to go to this weekend and I'm super excited for the girls' night out. Wish I could give details, but it's a surprise for the Bride - and I wouldn't want to spoil her growing curiosity. Too cute :)

Hope it's a good one for everyone! Take full advantage of these last couple weekends of summer - September is coming tooooooo fast!


P.S. Don't forget about my giveaway! I have all the pieces in my possession, ready to send to one lucky winner, and they are amazing! ... Can I win my own giveaway?? No... ? So sad.

The Eryn brinié brand, catering to both the sensible and the artistic, is inspired by French chic and urban contemporary.

For the S/S 2009 season, Eryn brinié's signature femininity takes on a more masculine edge, reinterpreting the season’s boyfriend styles with the brand's iconic fluidity. You'll witness mod cuts, antique fabrics, boxy shapes, girly ruffles, all in romantic pastels and rich earth tones. This is minimalism at its best.

To celebrate the 100th follower of around the way girl, the lovely folks representing Eryn have offered three accessories from the collection to give away to one lucky ATWG reader!

Eryn brinié Beaded Belt

Eryn brinié Leather Clutch

Eryn brinié Necklace

To enter:
*you must be a follower ... since this is a celebration of followers :)
*leave one relevant comment.
*gain extra entries by linking to this post on Twitter, Facebook and/or your blog, for a total of 4 possible entries (just be sure to mention this in your comment).

The giveaway ends Sunday, August 9 at midnight ET and is open to all U.S. and international readers! The winner will be announced Monday, August 10.

BEST OF LUCK!



P.S. Eryn brinié recently opened its New York flagship in August of 2008 in SoHo - be sure to check it out if you are in the area! Also, fan her on Facebook!

It's Friddaaaayyyyyy!!!!! Whew, what a week!

What's everyone up to this weekend?

I'm going to yet another wine festival tomorrow with a group of friends (guys and gals). Our goal is to live up to last years - we still look at the pictures and just D.I.E. laughing. We had so much fun. I have faith in us that we can do it again. I mean, really, all it takes is a few glasses of wine in the early morning hours to make for an interesting day :)

THEN, on Sunday, I'm going to this. DC ladies: I think you should join!

Have a good weekend folks.

Diana from our city lights (whose blog I absolutely adore, by the way) must have been feeling extra generous the other day, because she bestowed upon me - and 11 other bloggers - nine, that's right, NINE awards! P.D.O. of the lovely Magic Risotto Diaries, sent a few of the same my way, too. What can I say, you ladies rock and totally made my day. Much love.

For the sake of time (and blog space), I'm breaking the rules and just passing these pretty little prizes onto a few of my new favorite reads, sans any and all award caveats.

... Don't hate.

Here she goes, in no particular order:

dilly dallas

an experiment in poverty

basquiat thinks i'm cool
cabin + cub

our little love nest

magic risotto diaries

our city lights

i need a guide

say anything

just playing pretend

yellaphant

bum chic

Seriously, you all are wonderful. Take none, take all, take what you don't already have!

Enjoy :)
