I <3 SW, wedding dresses, jewelry contests.  A lot.  Seriously, it takes a strong willpower (plus the occasional stern glace from Emily) to keep me from entering some of these contests and pocketing the prizes myself.

If you can believe it, I’m even more excited about today’s contest, not only because of the gorgeous gold + pearls earrings that are up for grabs but also because these gems were handmade by my former babysitter + school mate, Erin McDermott.  (Hi, Erin!)  Erin was one of my very favorite babysitters growing up (she’s smart, pretty and tons of fun, hence the girl I desperately wanted to BE when I was little), and I literally jumped for joy when I stumbled across her jewelry site.

True story: I’m so in love with the "Whitney" and "Lucky Penny" earrings she’s giving away to two readers that I’m hoping to use them for, Tea Length Flowergirl Dresses, my own bridesmaids come September.  (Erin’s a fellow bride-to-be and will be marrying her college sweetheart this April.  Congrats!)

Want to win a fabulous pair of Erin McDermott’s earrings yourself?  Visit her site here and find the piece (whether earring, necklace or bracelet) that best conveys your unique style.  And, oh yeah… don’t forget to tell us how + why by leaving a comment with your name and email address.

Snag a piece from this Southern belle's collection... I have a feeling she's going to be the next big thing!

Contest ends at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, Scoop Neckline Mother Dress, February 17.
