Holly Jolly Link-up!

Happy Wednesday Readers!

This morning, I'm linking up with Crystal from Coffee at Nordstrom, Emily from Life of Emily, and Ashley from Everyday AEM to share with you my present from the Holly-Jolly

Swap. I absolutely loved participating in this swap and had so much fun! Thanks so much to all the hosts- you did a fantastic job organizing this!

I'm so excited to share with you what Caiti from Southern Biscuit sent to me! She has such great taste and I loved all of the presents!

First of all, this gal is craftyyy! Look at these adorable, hand-made cards I received from her:

And then came her gift!

So nicely wrapped!

Personalized note pad!

A beautiful scarf!

And a set of fun earrings!

Thank you Caiti for all my wonderful gifts!

I had Kelly from A Tennessee Girl and loved shopping for her!! Check out her awesome blog to see the goodies she got!

Can't wait to see what everyone else received!

XOXO

Top 5 Tuesdays and NYE Photos!

Happy Tuesday Readers!!

Today I'm linking up with Rachel from Just Peachy for her Top 5 Tuesday! This week's theme is top 5 jewelry pieces! I decided to pick 5 pieces that I wear pretty much everyday!

1. Bulova Watch

This was a present from my sister for high school graduation so it has special meaning to me!

2. Tiffany's Bracelet with peace sign charm

My sorority little sister gave this to me her first semester in AEPhi and we have matching bracelets!

3. David Yurman Bracelet

My older cousin passed down this bracelet to me after my Grandfather passed away last November. She said it so I could remember something happy amidst all the sadness of those days.

4. Pearl Earrings

Wear these every single day. I have to actively remind myself to switch them out with other earrings to change it up sometimes.

5. Marley Lilly Monogrammed Necklace

This was a president's gift from my sorority that was given to me at the end of my term. Not only do I love anything monogrammed, and was looking for an everyday necklace but not I'll always remember the wonderful sisters who gave it to me!

My stack!

*Recently added: Kate Spade "This is the Year" bangle*

Happy Monday Readers!

and more importantly happy 2012!

I hope everyone had a fun (and safe) New Year's Eve! I can't wait to read more about it on your lovely blogs today! (Pictures from my NYE to come tomorrow!)

I started off today by reading the New York Times headlines....ate a bowl of Kashi cereal...and right after this post I'm going for a run! Trying to start off 2012 on the right foot!

I mentioned last week that in honor of the new year and the fact that Pink Zin has reached over 55 followers, I've decided to host my first blog giveaway! My first giveaway includes some of my favorite items, items that I use everyday.

So here it is...a little bit of me in my first giveaway!
