GIVEAWAY: Be my February Girl


It has always been a little ambition of mine to design clothes. When I was a teen I designed and made jewellery with my company ‘The Bead Hive’ (see here), and now I’m beginning to venture into the clothing idea. So I have decided to make a giveaway of my first, very simple, creation: a printed t-shirt.

February is my birthday month and if it’s anything like January, will be wet and dreary. So I want to make it a tiny bit brighter for one of you with a simple white t-shirt, easy to wear with anything, with the cute pink ‘February girl’ logo on the front; inside will be sewn one of my unique ‘thoroughlymodernmilly’ name tags. The t-shirt is a small, but is on the big side, and for those who are more petite: you can cut the seams and customise it as a baggy cropped tee - that’s what I’m doing with mine! Along with the t-shirt I will be throwing in some Mac make-up, yet to be decided on.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of being crowned the ‘February girl’ is:

1) Be a follower on my page, and tell me your name

2) Tell me in no more than 50 words, what is special about February for you and write it as a comment below.

Competition open to all readers worldwide, winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day, 14th February.

    I love the jewellry you used to make!
    February is special to me as not only is it Valentine's day but it's my boyfriend's birthday a few days later. We always try and do something special, I try to pull out the stops for him then, and it brightens up my month to see him so happy over that weekend. :)

    What a lovely page you have! So glad you found my page so that I could find yours.

    February is a special month for me because it's my birthday month. And also because my whole family are going away on a weekend together. I have a lot of siblings so it's not often we all get together. But now we've rented a house and me, my husband, my parents and all my siblings and their boyfriends and girlfriends and my little nephew are going away together. Can't wait!

    February is special because its a month of LOVE. Thanks to Valentines Day many people spend time outwardly expressing how much they love someone without any reservations. I think its cool that a whole month out of the year is dedicated to love!

    February is when people realise that no-one is more important than their loved ones. February may be wet and rainy, but it captures the most beautiful moments in the world. Success does not come from the head but from the heart. May February be rainy and wet, all the love and passion comes alive. And even though I know I will absolutely not win, I know at least that February is when someone, somewhere will love me.

    My name is Molly Mercurio, I live just outside London, by Richmond, and I want to be known as a peace-maker.

    Hey, My name is Mana and to me febuary is special because it's a month of love, joy, and happiness. Even though it's during winter, you will always feel special on febuary. I like how it's just in the middle of winter and spring so it's a moment of calmness during the two seasons that brings together couples on valentines day.

    So, let's see...What do I love about february?
    First strawberries in the market, winter walks through the park, museum's exhibitions, cold rainy days, pleasant cool sunny days, always a short vacation with friends (sometimes to a big city, sometimes to the country), red tea, february air- lights (acoustic version), my cat's birthday (silly, but always funny), and this tee :)

    hi, my name is Mar Fernández.

    I kinda like February for many reasons, one is because a new year has just begun and this month is not as stressful as January, with all those New Years' resolutions. In Feb you can actually see how the year will go and what mood you have towards it. And I also love it because it means that Spring is coming :)

    one big kiss!

    Hi, I'm Elsie. Thanks for the sweet comment and the follow- although my crazy blog hasn't let it shown up! This is why I love February for a bit of fun:

    As the first sun begins to glare through, you know that Spring is coming, but Winter still remains. Chills and thrills, and baking and fires, and sitting and waiting, and walking and rushing, and raining. I sit and wonder often in February why it is so grey, then I remember that it only comes once and make the most of it! Sometimes I feel like jump up, and shouting and releasing all that Summer locked up in me, but I don't, we are all far too drained. But then I do, as it's only February once a year. Thank Goodness for that!

    Hi,
    I'm Josyp and I'm following u via google!

    Although February is a short month with lots of pouring rain and days filled with cold, it holds a special place in my heart, first of all, my mother's birthday happens to be in this month...moreover, in it we celebrate the lover's feast! I'm a hopeless romantic, I totally organize a whole lovely day on the 14th!! A day to remember I must add, even though I feel Valentine's day is EVERY single day and not just one day a year!!

    So what is so special about February....Valentines... hum no! Way too much (even if I would like a flower :p)
    Close to the spring, not really, have you seen the porring rain outside. What is special in February for me is that in general my bank account is back to normal after the festive period, and so is my weight :)

    Hello Milly, thanks for reading my blog :)

    Why I love february you ask? Because it's one step closer to spring! I know, my fellow Canadians are probably scolding me for not embracing the cold and snow. Although as a bonus uni students here have a week long break every february that always proves to be a good time.

    Hope your bday celebrations go well.
