August Giveaway Winner...and Miss Irene

When there is good and bad news we always elect to hear the good first.  So here goes...

The winner of our August Giveaway is H&K Style Journey!!  They are a mother/daughter blogger team who love to have fun with fashion.  Congratulations to Heather and Kayla!  You are the proud new owners of the following:


OPI Touring America Mini Lacquer Set

We can't wait to see you guys incorporate your prizes into your outfit posts!!

And now on to the not so good news... Most of you know that Hurricane Irene traveled up the East Coast this past weekend and while none of us were hurt in any way (which is the most important thing) it did leave lots of trees down and many without electricity.  We have been without power since Saturday morning, so we aren't going to be able to blog as much as we normally would.  Also, it may be awhile before we have new videos for you guys, because we had planned to film over the weekend, but Mother Nature had other plans.  So hang tight and bear with us while we deal with the aftermath of Miss Irene.  We promise that things here on HLNC will back to normal as soon as the electricity is back on...which can't be soon enough!!

Here are some pictures of the damage we've seen out and about in the Richmond area:






We hope that all of our East Coast friends are safe and sound.  Please let us know how things are around where you live.

We will be back to our regular schedule very soon (fingers crossed)!!

  1. I am so glad to hear that y'all are ok. I was very worried about y'all over the weekend. I sure hope your power comes back on soon and that you are able to get things sorted out. The pics you posted are crazy! Esp. the one with the tree that landed right down the middle of the 2 story house. That is really terrible. Again I am just so grateful that y'all are ok =)

  4. @ Tropical Mind - It was more intense than we thought it was going to be and had no idea that so many trees would come down and we'd all be out of power. It's day 2 and we are about to climb the walls at home!


    @ Style Journey - Congrats to you both again! We are so exited for you to get your goodies!

    @ Shop N' Chomp - We do too! It's so weird to be in a completely quiet house. We need noise! :-)
