I do sometimes wear perfume to bed! Usually something cozy, smoky, and sweet.

oooohhhh – I need a new makeup case! It’s one of those things you never think about buying, but gives you such joy when you get a new one. Always the simple things…
The bag is so cute!
I haven’t work a bow in my hair in 25 years probably.
tweeted about giveaway!

Nah… I don’t wear perfume too bed
I wore an awesome pair of smart black pumps today! I love the pointy-but-not-too-pointy pair I have. 🙂
Karen, I love your christmas ornament in your Monday poll picture!
I want to get married before the end of the year! Our day is December 28, wooo!
I suck at painting my nails. I did it yesterday and managed to ruin most nails before they dried. Le sigh.
Hello! thanks for another lovely giveaway chance! i don’t usually paint my nails because the chipping would annoy me so much! i stick to self-pedicures. even during winter! 🙂
I am happily sipping on my most favorite drink in the whole wide world–the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Jasmine Dragon Soy Latte–and catching up on my favorite blogs at the moment. Happiness. 🙂

The amount of time it takes me to get ready is directly proportionate to the amount of times my toddler needs something…
My stocking has matryoshka dolls (purple, green, red/orange, and blue!) on it! I hope I find this makeup bag inside! =)
I’m pretty good at doing my own nails as long as I don’t start puttering around doing stuff before they’re completely dry.
My stocking is pink 🙂
Happy Monday. I don’t wear perfume to bed, but the lotions I use pretty much smell like perfume, so I guess I do! Love Bath & Body works Shea Cashmere, Forever Red & Cherry Blossom.
Have a great week everyone. It’s almost Christmas, yay! 🙂
sounds amazing!
I absolutely adore this makeup case.
I don’t think I’ve ever worn a bow in my hair before, but I do wear a bow ring often! It’s my favorite 🙂
Hmm…the last time a wore a bow in my hair was a couple of weeks ago. I had it below my bun I made 🙂
I think I’m steadily getting better at painting my nails, but I try not to sweat it if I get some on my fingers. I just peel it off in the shower 🙂
I need to work on growing my nails out before I even consider painting them.
I love wearing perfume to bed :)!
Happy holidays!!!
The last time I wore a bow in my hair was Saturday. I also saw Robert Downey Jr that day.
I used OPI’s Warm and Fozzie on my nails today, and while I didn’t like it when I got it, today it looks gorgeous
The last time I wore a bow in my hair was probably when my mama put it there when I was a little girl!
This case is super cute!
i am going on a month long vacation next week!! so of course need to put my makeup in something cute
Watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas with my 2yr old daughter. It gave me nightmares when I was a kid… Her outfit matches this case!
I have no idea how long ago the last time I wore a bow in my hair was… probably as a little kid! Not my look.
I wear perfume to bed sometimes, but usually something light.
I have a Bugs Bunny stocking that I’ve had since I was a kid.
I sort of enjoy wearing perfume to bed. Something warm and cuddly like Jo Malone Blue Agave and Cacao
I admittedly suck at painting my nails, my husband does it for me! Loving the OPI Skyfall collection, currently rocking “you only live twice”.
I love Kate Spade!
I think I was 5 years old the last time I wore a bow in my hair.
Wow, this looks like it would be an awesome bag for traveling! Of course, I always bring too much makeup when I travel 🙂
what are your thoughts about trish mcevoy’s makeup??
I AM OBSESSED WITH KATE SPADE!!! 🙂
I am ready for the weekend…and it’s only Monday. Oh no!
Super cute! Who doesn’t love Kate Spade!
Another cute bag!
Yes! Sometimes I do spray on some perfume before I go to bed to help me relax, that’s funny you would ask that. I also use a matching body lotion with the same scent….mmmmmm
This case is really cute!
hope i win!!
I’ve never worn perfume to bed, i am always afraid it will keep me awake since I’ll be sniffing it non-stop.
My grandma knit everyone in my family stockings. It is super lumpy and misshaped but I love it!
I should note that it is lumpy from years of goodies being stuffed into it not my grandmas knitting abilities!
Just another manic Monday…..:/
My morning makeup routine is so varied! If I’m rushing to class it’s 5 minutes max, but if I’m going to work I like to get up early, put on some tunes and take my time, it helps me wake up!
amazing giveaway!
My stocking was made by my mother and it has a big C switched in buttons!
Kate Spade can do no wrong! Love!
I love painting my nails. I paint them weekly and my toes every few weeks-year round.
Yay for another Kate Spade giveaway! Happy Monday!
The last time I wore a bow in my hair was probably when I was a little girl
Today my shoe du jour was F’Uggs (fake uggs) from Costco beacause it has been cold and rainy in San Diego!
I drew a bow on my nails the other day 🙂 it was really fun to draw!
Today was cool and drizzly, so I wore my Steve Madden wedge boots!
When I put on perfume before bed, I think I sleep better. Has to be something soft and cozy smelling, though.
Yeah, I could travel with that!!
Amber recently posted … Four obsessions for December 2012
I love painting my nails! I am not very creative though.
I cant remember the last time I wore a bow in my hair!
My Christmas shopping is done. Now I just anticipate a long drive this weekend.
I do pretty well painting my own nails and sometimes I prefer it, I tend to be a little picky with my nails.
Ooh! My BFF loves Kate Spade. I’d have to send this to her to love it properly. =)
Cute! I’d love to win this. Thanks.
My Christmas stocking was hand-beaded for me by my aunt when I was an infant…I absolutely adore it!
I love Kate Spade prints! I am trying to keep my makeup nice and organized, I tend to hoard old stuff. This would motivate me to clean up and simplify!
My stocking was made by my Mother. It has red and green candy canes on it. The front pocket has Frosty the Snowman stitched onto it. I was obsessed with that movie when I was little!
love this bag…I need a new one
This would be a perfect makeup bag to win! The print is adorable!
Hmm, I don’t think I have ever worn a bow in my hair.
The last time I wore a bow was Saturday, when my 4 year old daughter “did” my hair. 🙂
I have a Winnie the Pooh stocking that I’ve had for at least 15 years. I can’t imagine Christmas without it! haha
Perfume to bed? Sounds interesting and I can’t say I have. haha
Hmm the last time I had a bow in my hair was probably Valentines Day, i had a red ribbon intertwined in a braid and ended in a bow 🙂
Oh goodness, this bag looks too sweet! I have been looking for something that I can lug back and forth while traveling – I always try to cram way too many products into a tiny little pouch.
My goal for the rest of the year is to enjoy all things cozy that this season has to offer!
We’d love to have a Kate Spade bag! Thanks for the chance!
Cute bag!
I can paint my nails with my right hand but…I’m not so good with my left hand. So usually my nails on the right hand turn out much nicer. 😛
Alright, another cosmetics case I would not mind! 🙂 Today I spent a very long time trying to help a customer pick an item she could get for free and I’ve never seen a greedier person. Nothing was good enough! D:
It takes me 1hr to get ready – this includes shower, makeup, hair, and breakfast!
So cute!
Happy Monday Karen, yay anothe Kate spade bag giveaway!!
love kate spade!
Yay more stuff!
Thank you
Love the bag. It would be amazing for travelling!
Ben nye powders are awesome!
This is SO cute. Would be perfect, since I’m going traveling very soon 😀
I usually work out in booty shorts… no matter the weather.
Side note: Doctor Oz says sleeping naked is good for weight loss. Sooo I assume working out half naked is even better.
I love Kate Spade!
I wore a pair of entirely too tight nude Jessica Simpson heels to work today. Considering that I was on my feet almost the entire day, it wasn’t a very smart choice.
Love all the Kate Spade giveaways!
Host an SF meet-up!!!! It takes me between 15 – 25 min. to do my makeup depending on how much I put on/if I’m running late.
Happy holidays, Karen.
I would like to say the last time I wore a bow on my head was age 3. Haha!
15 minutes tops for makeup in the morning. But I’m pretty low-key. 🙂
The makeup bag has a great design.
This make up bag is lovely! My Christmas stocking is deep red with an A (for Agata) made with Svarowsky crystals 🙂
A wonderful Kate Spade bag! I never wear bows in my hair! LOL!
I tweeted!

I never wear perfume
My Christmas stocking is really plain and simple. It’s just fluffy white and red with a cute little J (:
Love the design!
I love Kate Spade!
this is beautiful! also tweeting as @kelliechio 🙂
I’ve been painting my own nails for several years now so I’ve gotten pretty good at it… didn’t used to be that way though!
Thanks for the giveaways Karen!!
Always useful!
So cute.
That bag is so adorable! I always wear perfume to bed.
Love the colors
This bag is so cute–I need a new makeup bag too, especially for traveling!
I am hopeless when it comes to painting my own nails. They are always a mess and I rarely take the time to take care of them properly.
Kate Spade? Why yes!
Blair Waldorf can pull off a hair bow like no one else. I, however, cannot.
Christmas is coming so soon!
I’m pretty good at doing my own nails. I usually do them on a Sunday afternoon, giving them plenty of time to dry.
Hey Karen, I paint my own nails. I was a hardcore fan of the nail salon but they stopped doing a great job and the wait was rediculous. I’m pretty good at it now and have become quite addicted to buying nail polish. My nails are now longer and healthier than ever btw.
Deck the halls with boughs of holly! Fa la la la la, la la la la!!!
The last time i tried to put a bow on my cat she didnt speak to me for a week. So i guess the kitty santa beard is out of the question.
This is shaped exactly like the makeup case I have right now, the Benefit Snow White & the Huntsman case! I love the one I have now, but would love to have this one because the print is so much cuter. Fickle, I know… 😉
I have a pixi cut so adding a small bow clip to my hair is a perfect way to make my hair look dressed up!! I wore one on Sunday. I love wearing perfume to bed
My favorite is Shalamir which i love but find it hard to pull off sometimes since so many people associate it with older beauties.
Love it! It would fit most of my make-up collection!
What a great giveaway! Love the bag. I have a couple little satin bow clips that look really lovely. I like pairing something girly with a less girly outfit or make up… Like my combat boots that I’m wearing right now!
Hoping for some goodies from Sephora for xmas!
One week until Christmas!
So pretty! Thank you for the contest Karen!
I don’t wear bows but I put them on my daughter now 🙂
That’s really pretty! Thank you for the giveaway
Geometric shapes calm the mind.
I am obsessed with train cases. Hope I win!!
It’s been a long time since I’ve worn a bow in my hair. Probably not since elementary school!
I don’t think I ever wore a bow in my hair, not even as a little kid. My mom never bothered to style my hair.
If I’m wearing my hair up in a bun then I have a bow in it. I actually have a red, green, and silver sparkly one that I rock during the holidays.
Cute case! there was a multicolored polka dot one I saw one or two seasons ago in this shape… should have gotten it. Thanks for the giveaways!
happy tuesday!
Is Tabs ready for Christmas? 🙂
30 minutes to put on full makeup (usually 15 spent on eyes)
oo this one is adorable!
Everything from Kate Spade is just so adorable!~
Hmmmmm, no bows in my hair recently, but I did wear cute braided pigtails this past summer on my mountain vacation getaway. I figured, no one knew me except my family, so what the heck! 🙂
super cute! love 12 days of christmas giveaways 🙂
I’m all thumbs when I paint my toes, I take on the craziest poses and facial expressions, not cute at all. Love this bag, btw. Very chic.
I wore my favorite Franco Sarto black leather knee high boots today – I’ve had them for probably 4-5 years, they’ve been resoled and I recently got the zipper fixed on one. There’s nothing fancy about them but they’re sleek and comfortable and fit my big ol’ calves perfectly, LoL
Love this mod one, too!
Thanks for the fabulous giveaway and happy holidays!
Thanks for this giveaway, Karen!
ooh la la! can’t wait!
This is so cute!
Today was a sneakers kind of day. I usually wear converses but have been recently loving how comfortable the nike free runs are.
I have a giant Christmas stocking that is red and white!

this is cute! Hope I win
this bag is great! how lovely it is named after this sweet name. xo.
whats black and white and red all over?? I know. Old joke.
My dog is sleeping next to me on the couch with her paw over her eyes/face…oh, to have the life of a dog!
Love the giveaway .. 🙂
This bag is pretty! Just loving it!
It takes me about 15-20 minutes to put my make-up on.
I’ve gotten to the point where I can do my own nails, but it’s not the same as a salon mani — I even found a booth in the mall that offers one for $8. The makeup case is so lovely!
WANT.
Kate Spade is genius! Love this bag!
Bought my cats new collars today! Now they match haha
I don’t think I’ve worn a bow in my hair since I was about five.
My Christmas stocking has my name on it and little charms! My mom made it!
I love anything Kate Spade makes.
Ooh this bag has the cutest print!
Thanks for the giveaway Karen!
I haven’t worn a bow in my hair since I was a kid, but I was into cute hair pins and clips a few years back!
I often wear perfume to bed, just a little bit and usually something lavender or vanilla-ish.
(:
I haven’t worn a bow in my hair since kindergarten. I use to hate when my mom did the whole “pig tails” thing 😛
Love this bag!
What an adorable bag. Besides using it for the obvious, carrying your beauty goodies on trips, I think it’s so cute to use during the day, to carry all your essentials, which for me, happen to be all beauty items. This adorable bag would be perfect with jeans , when you’re out for the day on a weekend afternoon.
Thanks for the giveaway.

Ah! So cute!
The best pizza I ever had was one where the put the sauce on TOP!
Sometimes the radio has the most interesting people.
Love this bag!
I LOVE the pattern on that case. It’s so fun and girly! This is going to get a lot of love and use from me <3
I last a 5 minutes more or less
huge kisses
I’m always floored by how cute everything is that Kate Spade makes! This would hold SO much makeup too!
Can’t wait for the holidays to OFFICIALLY begin!
I’m so excited for Christmas , can’t wait for my lil one to open all her presents 🙂
I do ok basic style nail painting, I do however like how creative people get with their designs….now i want to do that
My hubby thinks its funny, but I wear perfume and deodorant to sleep sometimes. But I like to smell good!
My stocking has a kitty in a Santa hat and suit on it!
Oh I love the look of this bag!
I just really love anything Kate Spade!
My stocking is white with a tiara pin on it. 🙂
I like to wear a natural look most of the time, and it takes about 15 minutes for me to get it just right.
I may not win a single thing, but darn it, I am going to keep trying!
The last time I put a bow in my hair was this morning, to keep the hair away from my face while rinsing it and applying moisturizer 🙂
Not sure if it’s too late for this one..
I have a blue and white stocking with my name on it in glitter on my office door 🙂
It’s so pretty! Need it for all my makeup!
CUTE bag!

Fierce & Fashionable
I love black cat eyeliner and red lips!
The last time I wore a bow in my hair wasn’t too long ago… last week! My friend insisted I wear a sparkly bow headband for my birthday 🙂
I’m not-too-shabby-tabby when it comes to painting my nails. I’m not perfect, but being ambidextrous means that at least both hands look equally messy, lol!
Hm! Signature look? BB cream, cat eye liner, NARS Funny Face, whatever nail polish pleases me that day. Easy to throw on and lasts easily through the day! Though my hands are extremely shaky to put polish on without help. My husband has become skilled in helping me out. It’s become a dorky morning ritual.
Love it and need it and want it!
I need a bag like this!
Hope I win! Love this pattern.
My stocking is bright pink with sparkles all over it and a zebra print ruffle!
I dont wear makeup at home so all I have on now is my moisturizer.
this bag would be great for daily skin care storage!
I love being on break from school. I’m gonna organize all my pictures and do some sewing 🙂
My two young boys are pretty excited for Christmas Eve- Santa ain’t got nothing on a party!
I bought my dog niece a sparkly pink collar for Christmas because she is a straight up diva.
Do you know of an inpatient treatment program for makeup addiction. Maybe something with a spa like atmosphere and handsome poolboys?
Flying home on Saturday yay!
I love Kate Spade!
This makeup case sure would make packing up to go home a lot easier!
Home alone in a bad mood 🙁
My makeup routine takes 15 minutes.
I wore my uggs today
|>–<]
abstract bows ftw!
My signature makeup look is usually natural
Cute!
This makeup bag is so cute! Thanks for the giveaway!
Before the end of the year, I’d like to enjoy a sushi dinner with my girlfriends.
this bag is too adorable!!
I’m pretty good at doing my nails. I’m in my 30s and I still like to play beauty shop with my sister and mom!
I just started doing my own gel nails with the gelish nail polish line! Just picked up a very festive green sparkly festive color for Christmas!!
Cheers
My Christmas stocking is red with my name on it.
Mommy needs a new swanky bag!
that bag is adorable!
Have a Very Merry Christmas Karen!
I recently discovered (for myself) Indie nail polish, and I am OBSESSED. My poor poor bank account.
On a good day, it takes me 5 minutes to put on some foundation and mascara. When my toddler “helps” me, it takes almost 20 minutes!
love it. wearing opi Skyfall om the toes
My new obsessions are bows! Hair bows, bows on my flats. Bows on my shirts. Loving them all .
I wore my favorite sperry boat shoes today! 🙂
My daughter is a Hair Bow-Wearing Princess!
I don’t know about bows but I want some of those stretchy double combs for my hair!
You are so generous Karen! Thank you and Merry Christmas! 🙂
I haven’t worn a bow in my hair in awhile, but I plan to next week for my 25 birthday 🙂
My holiday stocking is so cute. I let my son pick it out! It’s toy story,but its rockin on that mantle!
I think the last time I had a bow in my hair was in… high school?
I don’t think I’ve ever worn a bow in my hair, haha!
i have the matching purse! love the makeup bag
The word Nylon came from the abbreviation of the 2 cities that went in search of the material – New York (ny) and London (lon)
looking forward to a quiet mellow holiday season. happy new year everyone!
I bought a couple bows while I was in Asia this year but my friends here told me only kids can wear bows in their hair!
I have not worn a bow in my hair since I was 5 lol
Love from Malaysia
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY! XOX
I like to paint my own nails, but every once in awhile i love a good mani/pedi for pampering.
The last time I wore a bow in my hair was sometime around Halloween.
I had korean bbq today. Smells strong!! ><
I would love to do a hair bow, but my curly frizzy mess will never allow it. As you say, le sigh.
I don’t think I have worn a bow in my hair since I was 5…
I use Konad stamping .. My nails are short .. not very nice to paint !
I so wish I had stronger nails so I could grow them!!!
I love Kate Spade.
