What I’m also a fan of (as a conscientious bargain shopper) is quality. When I buy things I look for certain things to satisfy my frugal requirements. Plum Clothing has been a favourite of mine over the years because of these simple givens.

I follow them on Twitter and “like” them on Facebook. This summer they have generously put up fantastic pieces as prizes for their weekly jewellery contests.

Each week Plum Clothing posts a picture to each of these social media with the promise at a chance to win earrings or a necklace (so far). Each week it’s different and all you have to do is follow and RT (re-tweet) or “like” (them) and “like” the contest post! So easy.

Consider this blog an invititation to win some free awesome jewellery. Haven’t won, but why not try?

This week's giveaway

What a delicious idea! Among the many other edible things that exist in this world, I love cupcakes. So naturally, I had to share this event with everyone I know, via my Modline blog!

On Sunday, June 20, Follow Me Foodie will be hosting Vancouver’s first Cupcake Challenge.

FREE admission & samples, and (I’m sure) tons of sweet people to meet and share our city’s love for the growing popularity of these cute desserts. Has anyone else noticed how much more available they are in the city?

Who parties on a Thursday?

Pete Rock does. I haven’t come across anyone in this city who hates on the Chocolate Boy Wonder. It’s just hard to do. He does jazz & hip hop justice; not like the new sh’t that’s  out these days. Sorry Ke$ha, but you just ain’t music. At least to me. Feel free to hate mail me at kimberly@themodline.com if you disagree. Otherwise, see ya there!

Come through: Bar None Thursday, June 17th.

Drizzy Drake’s newest video for “Find Your Love.’”

This song’s like Bailey’s…smooth & slowly inebriating (Is that a word? Whatever, it’s blog: a whole ‘nother syntax and diction dimension!). Meant to be enjoyed from beginning to end in order to reap its full effect. It sort of leaves you with a longing for hand-holding…just me?

(Awkwarrrrrd)

HAHA Anyways, my fave part (just ’cause I can be immature like that) is at 1:18. The lip pucker.

*muah!

PS – RUMOUR-HAS-IT he’s coming to town in July!
