Shopaholic in Alabama

Hi Everyone! Sorry for my sporadic posts the past two weeks, I'm still getting used to this new schedule and have been too busy to breathe. I'm looking forward to a long weekend (have a holiday on Monday for MLK Day). I can sleep in - and I'm very excited about that!  I'm pleased to announce the following two winners of the Diana E. Kelly clutch cork bags! Remember the original post HERE ? Each winner gets to select one cork clutch bag of their choice!  Please join me in congratulating "Twist of Lime" and "Cindy Lou" with their winning comments below:  Twist of Lime Dec 22, 2011 10:41 AM I LOVE that cork clutch with the starfish and the gold trim!!!

***Just in time to celebrate the holiday season, Shopaholic In Alabama has partnered with favorite brands and designers to bring you a series of festive giveaways! In addition to giveaways, there will be Shopaholic Special discounts to help with your holiday shopping! Please join me today in welcoming Diana E. Kelly!***   True confession time: I've always had issues finding comfortable shoes that are stylish. (You won't catch me in ugly shoes just because they are comfortable. Not happening!) To make it worse, I don't really like wearing closed toe shoes and would love it if I could live in flip flops! However, there are just times when the flips are not appropriate. I've tried so many different brands of shoes - economical (Target), mid-range (Lilly Pulitzer) and high-end (Gucci). Usually by the end of the day (or night), my feet are screaming and I am left crying - wishing for my Havaianas.  I was thrilled to form a friendship with Diana E. Kelly and try her...

Happy Sunday! Hopefully you are enjoying a nice weekend!  Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Alabama vs. Vanderbilt game in Tuscaloosa. It was Homecoming for the University of Alabama - and therefore a perfect time to break out my new clutch from Diana E. Kelly. If you're not familiar with DEK, she designs some of the most comfortable shoes on the planet - as well as these beautiful clutch bags. Diana's designs were featured on this blog back in July, see previous post HERE .  My clutch is just like the one pictured above and yesterday I carried it all around town. Honest to goodness, I'm not exaggerating when I say that everyone wanted this bag! I received so many compliments - from both women and men, young and old alike. If I had a trunk full of the DEK clutches, I believe I could have sold every one. :-)  Don't worry - even if you're not a Bama fan, Diana has a clutch perfect for your gameday ensemble.  For the Florida girls...  ...
