What and Where
Out of sight, out of mind? Fortunately, that isn't true at all as most of you have kept in touch either through visiting the blog and leaving me with some really wonderful comments or have sent me sweet and touching e-mails while I was away for work last week. Sorry for not being able to visit some of you at your respective blogs but I will make up for it soon. Thank you very much for thinking of me and checking on me as it has been a pretty hectic (and sadly stressful) last several days.
A big thank you shout-out is being virtually sent to my dear friends, JoAnn of Sidewalk Chalk and (my newest Blog Contributor) The Busy Neighbor. Judging from the unanimous positive comments you have left me, they both did a great job filling in for me and you'd be happy to hear that they will be making more blog appearances in the near future.
Another huge and heartfelt thanks is also owed to all those who have been following the blog and a warm welcome to new friends who joined in recently. I am hoping that you will find things that are interesting and inspirational here at Twenty York and I would like to encourage you to engage in the discussions, leave me comments, ask me questions or send me some suggestions. If I haven't been to your blog, my apologies but please leave me your url or a way to contact you and I'd be sure to return the love!
So, who's ready for exciting times ahead? Firstly, I have been thinking of improving the lay-out of the blog and to add some side bars though I certainly lack the technical knowledge to execute this plan. I have e-mailed some of you for advice and thank you for all your valuable help. Now, I'm just going to put it out there in the universe that please oh please, send me someone who has the expertise and kindness (and patience) to teach me on how to do all these cool things.
Secondly, I think I may have mention before that there is (wait, ARE) giveaways on the line but I may have not mentioned that Twenty York has been contacted by some Fashion and Style companies but I just have been so busy that I didn't really have the time to put this partnership together but I have expressed my mutual interest with them so that only means great things for you my lovelies!
One other thought that I wanted your opinion on is that I actually wanted to personally sponsor Twenty York's first give-away! I wanted to wait for a milestone like the 100th posts or a certain number of followers just to make it more special but one of the reasons behind it is that I really do want to share something with you, from me, to you!
Perhaps this is something I can leave you with on Monday morning:
- Should my first giveaway be sponsored by a company or by myself?
- When should I officially announce the giveaway, after reaching a number of posts or followers?
- What do you think should that number be?
I'd sincerely love to hear what you think and I appreciate all your comments. Trust me when I say, you will love the item(s) up for grabs! Exciting, yes?
Lastly, I'd like to publicly wish my very dearest J: Feliz cumpleanos mi carino!
muchos besos.

Gah I still need to get me a pair of nude pumps!
As for the giveaway - I honestly think it's completely up to you! And congrats on being contacted by Fashion and Style companies! I can completely see why, your blog is amazing :)
You are so super cute! And holy cow, show off those legs! I wish I had great legs like that. :)
I'm glad you're back! Sorry it was a stressful week though. And hey, when you figure out how to do all those fun things with your site, let me know! I want to do fun things too. :)
Those nude pumps are gorgeous! And so exciting to see a new post from you today -- you are so sweet and it really comes through your writing that you truly adore your readers and commenters.
I just sent you an e-mail, but I'm sending you another one shortly! :)
I'm on the same page as you with my blog, M! I'd love to do a lot of cool new things with it - but I have zero tech-savvy! I'm lucky I even figured out Blogger thus far, haha!
As for your giveaway Q, do whatever fancy strikes you! I think this little community is so generous, but it is really up to what you want to do, for whatever reason you want to do it for!
We miss you too, my love! J'adore those nude pumps - gorg!! :)
oohh
loving your heels
it's the perfect color
sort of The Devil Wears Prada ambiance here
yeay giveaway!
Hi Hunnie..Im very happy we stayed in touch when you were gone..glad to see you back!!!
I too, am thinking about several of the same things you are:) I have started a new partnership too (more to follow this week on my blog)...Id like to change my page around, but think it works well for visitors,they seem to really love it...I wanted to do a giveaway at 100 followers, but that was maybe a week ago..Ive missed that by about 62 people, lol....so Ill wait a bit longer....I will be the one to host my first giveaway..to me, it will mean more to ME that way....:)
MWAH! SO happy you are back:0

Good to have you back...as for the giveaways...you should ask a company... maybe BANANA REPUBLIC since it seems your favorite store...just an idea...
love

Oh I like the color of those heels! I think the giveaway should be whatever you feel like, whether it's some certain date or followers. Afterall, you are the one giving things away :D
um scuse me dear, but are those your legs?? if so, please do share the secret!!! amazing!!
xoxo,
carrie
ps - now following you!!
Those pumps are ALMOST as amazing as your legs! Seriously. Welcome back! I can't wait to hear what you decide on for the giveaway.

Yay! You're back!:) I was actually just thinking about doing a giveaway too! I like the idea of doing your own first giveaway, but since you have sponsors lined up, might as well take advantage of it! Either way, can't wait to see what it is! :)

I love those pumps! Glad you're back, and I think if you have companies lined up to do giveaways you should definitely take them up on their offers!
Hi Marilou
great shoes! I completely know what you mean...I had such a long day today and tomorrow is not looking better. hope you at least enjoyed the weekend a bit!
naina
i was busy last week too!! back to normal.
Are those your legs? Damn!! The shoes are pretty fab too. ;o)
Fab pumps!
If you've got people willing to sponsor giveaways, go for it!

Welcome back, ML! Ooo la la, love the first pic!:) Love ur nude pumps, too! Maybe you could sponsor a giveaway when you reach a 100th post? That would be something to celebrate!:)

Ah, you guys are too kind but yes, that is in fact, an unedited and unphotoshopped (not a word?) photo of my legs! Though I think J's amazing camera skills deserve the credit but thank you for your nice comments about it, it certainly gets me through bad hair days!
Love lots!
A give away sounds great, but I think your first giveaways should be something personal and from your fashionable heart! nice legs btw!
Killer shoes! And I'ma have to echo the "holy cow, LEGS!"
Also, I don't know if the source of the giveaway itself will necessarily be a point of contention with readers. I think whether you sponsor it or someone else does, the main thing for readers is that whatever company involvement there is shouldn't interfere with your voice as a blogger. So as long as you are giving away something that you think people will like, and don't need to plug constantly for X Y and Z Incorporated to make it happen, go nuts! :D
Give away sounds good. What do you have in mind? Maybe some replica of ur outfits that you can get for a bargain price.
