This new year is already off to an excellent start. We are five days in and I have already spent some quality time at the gym, with a new book, with friends old and new, and hanging with the cutest puppy on earth.

Well, it’s about to get even better! You may have seen my dear friend Anne before, as we’ve worked together over polka dots, rain boots, and handbags. She is the mind behind blog The City Sage and Rue Magazine — which finally inspired me to decorate my place. You can see what a talent she is as a New York-meets-San Francisco-hipster-fashionista in front of the camera, but her real talent lies behind the camera — in art direction, visioning and styling.

Add to the mix my friend Ingrid, who owns a jewelry company called Charmed. She creates stunning, handmade pieces of jewelry out of her SOMA studio — I should mention they photograph beautifully. Ing and I bonded over our mutual 10th grade humor and love for all things classy and colorful.

So now to the good stuff!

The three of us are partnering on a giveaway to kick off the year. One person will receive a couples photo session shot by me, styled by Anne, including pieces from Ingrid’s line that will be yours to keep! This session will be a full production, including hair and makeup! So what do we mean by “couple”? It can be anyone — your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, best friend, dog — although I’m not sure on the styling and jewelry front for your pup but, hey, let’s not box ourselves in here.

Please head over to Anne’s Blog for the full details including instructions on how to enter.
