SUMMER GIVEAWAY #3 Win a Personalized Pillow!

For my third “birthday month giveaway” I am thrilled to offer one lucky reader a personalized pillow from Michelle Dwight Designs! You’ve seen their super fun designs on Society Social, and now I get to offer a design of my own, customized with your “three muses!”

My pillow — Kate/Kelly/Emmanuelle, obvs. — I pulled in for my photo shoot at the last minute, but it’s actually quite meaningful for me. I wanted to create a piece for my office that honored my work/my passion, as well as represented my personal style I’ve developed through the years. Not an easy task! But inspiration struck as I thought of one of my branding guidelines: “have a muse” (or two or three). I tell all my clients this for their business brands, and it’s equally relevant for your personal brand — that ruler by which to measure, “what would [insert muse here] do?”

Who are your three muses? Miranda/Rosie/Mary-Kate? Olivia/Jenna/Bee? Brigitte/Debbie/Bianca? Maybe it’s your three fave musicians, three fave writers or three fave activists? Let’s create the perfect piece just for you!

TO ENTER:

Comment below who your muse(s) might be (I won’t hold you to it!)

    My muse is Reese Witherspoon, I suppose! She is a very classy lady with great style.

    This is such a fun pillow. Would look great in my daughter’s nursery. I’m expecting my first baby girl this fall.
