The very first contest held by Missa by Design has arrived!

It’s going to be the easiest contest you will ever be apart of.

All you have to do is add the Missa by Design Mypspace profile to your top friends list on Myspace (or put the banner located in the Shop section of missabydesign.com somewhere on your profile).

The prize is a one-year subscription to Seventeen magazine.

Who wouldn’t want that?

So enter right now!

Make sure you remember to send me a message on Myspace, that way I know you’ve entered.

If you do not meet the requirements of the contest on the day of the drawing (December 5th), you will be removed from the contest.

I told you it was easy.

Hello everyone!

I’m taking suggestions FROM YOU on what to do for the next DIY video!

Things like…

Brand new design in the store! It’s called LOVE (if looking at it didn’t give that away. haha).

You can order the design on so many items, such as a tee, hoodie, or even a tote like the one you see here.

So, if you have a few minutes, stop by!

In other news…

Taylor Swift‘s new album Fearless dropped this week. I’m not a country music fan, but for some reason, I absolutely love her music. The lyrics are what really draw me in half the time.

I’ve had just about every song from the album on repeat all week. If you’re a fan of hers already, then I’m sure you’ll love this album just as much as the last.

She’s also on the cover of CosmoGirl for December. She’s wearing this AMAZING Vivienne Tam black dress in the issue. I would post a picture of her in it, but seeing that I always get my copy of the magazine in the mail way before it hits newstands, nobody has the pictures online yet.

I guess you’ll just have to go see it for yourself when it arrives at your local grocery store aisle. haha.

Toodles.

This is such a magical time of year.

As soon as I flip my calender over to November (Yes, I have a wall calender. haha. It’s Andy Warhol.), I start getting excited for all that this season could bring, and what memories occupy my thoughts from the past.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, and has been as long as I can remember. I always wake-up in time to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as my house gradually fills with the scent of delicious food.

It’s all a sweet reminder and kick-start to another great holiday… Christmas.

The feeling in the air is undeniable. I absolutely love it and look forward to it each and every year.

What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving-time memories?

Just posting to let everyone know that I just finished shooting the DIY Video! It’ll be up tomorrow.

This is me in the shirt I made for the video. There are actually two templates that will be up for download that you can use for your shirt. One is the skull that Aly has on her tank, and the other is the butterfly that is on the shirt I made.

I love the rigid and distorted outcome of it, with the lace. Lace is usually looked upon as very girly, and so this puts a different spin on things.

Check back TOMORROW for the video & templates, that way you too can make a shirt.

One last thing…

If you make the shirt and want to send me pictures of your creation, feel free to send me the links to them through the contact form on my website.

Chao til tomorrow!
