Coach Holiday — A Girl Can Dream, Can’t She?
Santa, Baby remains one of my all time favorite holiday songs.
Eartha Kitt is so elegant. So fabulous. So unabashedly materialistic! Eartha is cooing about the kind of Christmas most of us dream about. So maybe this year Santa won’t be bringing you a yacht or the deed to a platinum mine. But thanks to the Coach Holiday Blog-a-Day, you might just win something special from an esteemed accessories brand.
Coach specially selected thirty bloggers (including moi!) to share their favorites from the Holiday Collection. And one lucky reader will get to win a special prize! I’m super stoked — this is my biggest giveaway yet!!
Coach has a gift to suit your every need, but my absolute favorites from the 2009 holiday collection are as follows.
The gloves. Coach has ‘em in every color, but I’m especially loving the motorcycle gloves. Paired with a simple black sweater and jeans, they’re subtle but effective statement makers.
The Sabrina Bag. Does it get more classic than this? This is the perfect size purse for work, play, and the wee hours in between. Love the shape and the capacity — this is the kind of purse any bella would be proud to take a-traveling, am I right?
The Textured Metallic Audrey. It gets no flyer! This purse turns heads. Trust me! The Textured Metallic Audrey was my companion on the Oasis of the Seas cruise, and I got nothing but questions about it. The wonderful thing about being on that particular ship was, I could just point the curious onlookers in the direction of the Coach store right there on board!
So 30 days, 30 blogs. Click here for the complete list. And to win a Sabrina purse of your very own right here on Afrobella — leave me a comment and let me know — have you been a good bella this year? Tell me the best deed you did in 2009!

Thanks so much for giving us a chance to win this gorgeous bag!
I was a good bella this year — when a friend had to have surgery on her foot, I brought her TONS of groceries.
I have been the most gracious of children this year! (:
Thank you so much for this opportunity!
My best deed this year was that since I volunteer at a hospital, I get to work with patients and I am just a person who loves to help so it’s actually pretty fun talking with the patients and helping them with whatever they need even if the jobs are trivial, it’s always a good feeling to help others. Okay so this isn’t exactly a specific deed but they’re compiled experiences. I hope that counts! haha.
Please enter me because I’d love to win this bag!
I haven’t really been good or bad I guess. I try to help out animals in need, but I don’t do enough.
I’ve been a very good bella this year! Instead of buying a new bag, I donated my extra money to Susan G. Komen as well as volunteered, planned a fundraiser, and walked in two of their charity walks in the Dallas area this summer and fall. I would love to carry this beautiful new bag to my charity events in 2010!
I have been good! One of my good deeds was putting together a care package for a girl who was going through a bad time.
Hi bellas!.
My best deed was helping a kid that was lost in a ski resort. I worked there teaching and I was very happy because we found his family very quickly.
Please enter me to win! I love coach bags, although I can´t afford them. =)
thanks you for extending this contest
I think i was i good- i made good grades at my grad classes, volunteered (and still do) for Catholic Charities and helped watch an old lady with Alzheimers
Now i need a nice reward, like a cute Coach bag! thanks!
enter me please i would love to win that bag!
Now i wouldn’t call this a good deed but it is something I am proud of. over the past year I really changed my life around and became right with myself and most importantly, right with God.
Ah I forgot to tell my good deed. Umm nothing really stands out. I just am always trying to be a good daughter, sister and caretaker.
I’ve been a good bella! I’ve been donating small amounts to charities that give away food. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My best deed is regularly visiting my 89 year old Grandma and drinking tea with her while I listen to her stories of days gone by.
Oooh those are beautiful gloves! I’d love to enter! Hmm my best deed was by far taking care of my father while he was in the hospital after being hit by a car whilst on this bicycle. It was a cruel, cruel summer but he’s much better now and we’re closer than ever!

My best deed for the past 4 yrs., including this year has been raising money and walking the 5 mile March for Babies walk. I don’t have any personal experiences for doing this, it was just something I decided to do with my sister one year. And from the there on I have continued to do it. It is really one of the most gratifying things ever. Not only to be able to raise money and help the families with premature babies in need, but to also walk with the families of those who lost loved ones as well as walk with the families and children who survived. What a humbling experience to say the least. It is a day I look forward to every year.
what a lovely bag! thanks for the opportunity
My good deed for this year is that whenever I see a homeless person on the street asking for money, I give them whatever cash I have in my wallet. Please enter me to win the purse! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’ve been a good bella. My good deed was helping less fortunate families this past Thanksgiving. I kept telling my kids why it’s important to help those less fortunate but figured I needed to show them. So, we donated food for food drives and helped sort food for a feeding program that fed hundreds of families. A few days later, as we were leaving Sam’s and my son (8y.o) ran back to give his change to Salvation Army. He was soo proud he was helping.
Love the gloves.. the sabrina bag is awesome.. Hmmm maybe for those who didn’t win coach will give you a coupon code or something to possibly purchase LOL
My best deed for 2009 was mentoring my daughter’s 2 friends after their parents died last christmas. I include them on everything I do with my children and help out their grandmother with them.
Enter Me. I love that Metalic Audrey bag. Thanks to Nikia for hooking me to your site. Loving it girl! Good job!
WHY I HAVE BEEN A GOOD BELLA:
My friends cousin just died a few days ago. I have been supporting her and helping her in every way possible. It’s such a tragedy especially so close to the holidays that nobody really cares about the presents. But I know she loves coach and I will give her one of the bags
My good deeds for 2009:
Helped a couple whose car stalled on the road.
Donated lots of clothes and shoes to Dress for Success.
Enter me please!!
My good deed this year was helping a neighbor who had fallen and broken their ankle while walking their dog.

I think this is a great contest! So here I am commenting in hopes that my wife (a huge Coach bag lover) wins! Please, Please it would be the perfect Christmas gift! This is my good husband deed of 2009!
Such a great contest!
My good deed this year was over the summer i volunteered at a hospital and went and held newborn babies!
A good deed i did this year was I got a job at my internship to help support the income of my parents. I am only 17
I love the “Sabrina” bag. It looks very functional as well as stylish!
for 2009 my good deed was; I started counseling those with drug addictions. some of the people just break my heart, but I don’t give up because they don’t give up.
thank you for the contest opportunity.
my best to you and yours this Holiday Season.
I have been a good bella this year. I have been volunteering for several organizations and I’m probably going to do more over the winter break. : ) If you’ve got the time, why not?
Thanks for entering me!
The best deed I have done was help out a couple at the gas station to get home by giving them all the cash in my wallet. [:
This bag is amazing. It’s more than anything I could dream of. And i really deserve it, I swear
My best deed in 2009 … I’ve been living in NY for 6 months, I was walking back home late at night on a Friday evening, and I found this AMAZING professional camera on a bench in Mc Carren Park. The next day, in the morning, I went back and talked to someone who was working for the park and that person told me that a man came and was looking for his camera … so i gave it back.
good luck to everyone
thanks so much for this giveaway!
The best deed I have done this year is participate in a day of service with my school where we helped out at a girls’ shelter.
I’ve been good (mostly) this year. I finally got the office building I work in to start recycling paper. After months of arguing with management we have our little blue bins all over the place.
Hi Afrobella!!!! I love your blog btw, and have been a faithful reader for the past year. The best deed I did this year in my opinion was be by my dad’s side and take care of him in the hospital before he passed away. And although it’s nothing to brag about, it was one of those things where although it was very sad and painful to deal with I would not trade those last days with him for any other moment in the world.
My best deed this year has got to be when I cleaned up the whole house for my mother. And I’m not just talking about vacuuming, dusting, etc. I’m talking about I-went-through-every-single-box-in-the-house (closet, attic, AND basement). Afterwards I dusted and vacuumed and sorted out all the junk/treasures and donated most to the Salvation Army!
Five days a week, I help high risk youth by providing emotional and practical support; providing them with resources, helping them to disown destructive behaviours and discover their true purpose.
That is a really cute bag! Some of the good deeds that I have done this year was helping my mother out of a financially when she fell behind on some bills, and always being just a phone call away when someone is in need of my babysitting skills. I’m also thinking about looking into some sort of volunteer functions. Its just nice to know that I am doing something, no matter how small, to make someones day a little easier.
Well, I would have to say that my best deed of 2009 was that I volunteered with a neighborhood Girl Scout troop every other Friday night. I got to know many of the girls and I look forward to working with them through 2010 as well.
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a beautiful bag!
My friend and I started a children’s literacy program!
Took care of my family, and loved every minute of it!
Lovely, Amazing. Mine?
Love the bag! And grrrreat contest idea as well. The world could use some more good deed-doers.
This year, I made it my mission to ensure that a project, started by a beloved community member, was completed during his lifetime. It meant a lot to him, and it was important to me that it not fall through the cracks.

My best deed in 2009. Let’s see, there’s the volunteering for Habitat for Humanity and Alpha House (a shelter for displaced families). I also organized my friends into creating a custom bobble-head that looks just like another friend of ours for his birthday. That was pretty awesome.
Enter me into the contest please.
This year, the best thing that I did was help out more around the house even though they weren’t my chores to do.
Drove from Pasadena to Glendale to pick up an amazing cake then to Irvine to give a friend an early birthday present when I knew he wouldn’t be in town for his actual birthday.
Enter me, please!
