Last week you saw the trailer.

This week, enter to win the book.

Not just any copy of Hallie Lord’s Style, Sex & Substance.

A copy signed by all ten fabulous contributors!

(Well…9 fabulous contributors and me.)

For a description of the book, you can’t do better than Jen Fulwiler’s write-up here (Jen’s also a contributor).

Or scroll around at Hallie’s place for the several posts of excerpts from the book.

Here’s how to enter: Do one or more of these things:

1. “Share” a direct link to either the book’s Amazon page or Our Sunday Visitor page on your facebook and/or twitter account.
2. “Like” Faith & Family Live! on our facebook page.
3. “Like” Catholic Digest on its facebook page.

When you’re done, leave your name in comments and tell us which you did.
You can enter your name once for each of these things you do (up to five chances, in other words, if you were to use both facebook and twitter to share links and did all 4 things).

Two people will win (via random number generator) a copy of Style, Sex & Substance with a bookplate signed by all 10 contributors.

This giveaway closes at noon EDT on Wednesday, March 21st.

Winners will be announced later that week. ( There will be a slight delay in the actual shipping of the prizes, while we finalize the process of gathering the signatures.)

Baby Beguiles is Born!

Just a happy little note to say:

Hallie’s baby is born! And she’s beautiful!


Prayers for Hallie on Labor Day

God bless this baby and her mama

You might have noticed that we haven’t heard from our resident fashion blogger Hallie Lord in a couple of weeks.

Well, that’s because she’s is on the verge of giving birth to the newest little Lord.

And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that she is feeling rather ready.

Since this is Labor Day and all, I thought that you might join me in prayer ... for Hallie, for her unborn baby, for her entire... READ MORE 


Fashion Blogging Comes to Faith & Family

Welcome, Hallie Lord!

I’m so excited!

The lovely, the gracious, the talented Hallie Lord—known to her cyber fans as Betty Beguiles—has agreed to do a bit of fashion blogging here with us at Faith & Family. She’ll be doing a weekly blog feature we’re calling Fashion Friday, in which she’ll review trends, share styling tips, and discuss all things fashion—all from a cute, cool, modesty-minded Catholic woman’s point of view.

Look for Hallie’s first installment sometime tomorrow and please join me in a great big “Hooray!” for Fashion Friday.

Welcome, Hallie!
