valentine's giveaway!

I know you want to skip down to the actual giveaway part, but firstfirstfirst I haaaaad to share my sudden obsession for paper-bag skirts, shorts, and trousers!

Urban Outfitters 

I just feel like they give off that effortlessly chic vibe. You honestly don't have to do much, just tuck in a basic stripe tank and add cognac leather sandals, then you're set for the weekend farmer's market.

On to the GIVEAWAY!

Thank you from the bottom, middle, and top of my heart for reading zipped. I have so much fun  sharing and talking with you guys; I can barely imagine life without blogging anymore! As a little thank you and a Valentine's Day gift, I decided to send one reader a vintage Amanda Smith crossbody clutch, my faaaave go-to nail polish L.A. Girl Matte in Coral, and a peachy Urban Decay pigment in X, all in a pink floral Free People tote bag!


The coral polish, peachy pigment, and pink floral tote all play up the Valentine vibe while this little black purse is perfect for date night on the big day!

To win, you must 1) be a follower of zipped via Google Friend Connect 2) leave a comment below.
EXTRA ENTRIES:
1. Follow on Bloglovin'.
2. Follow me on Twitter!

This is a little weekend giveaway, so be sure to enter by Monday at 11:00 AM PST when the winner will be announced. And yes, it is INTERNATIONAL!

And just in case you're still wondering, I'm going to St. Paul, Minnesota to visit my sister! Mall of America with no tax? Don't mind if I do.
