This weekend, one commenter will win a $25 gift certificate from Chic Tags
Veronica is excited to introduce to you her new shop Chic Tags, (formerly known as Shabby Chic Crafts.) They design delightful vintage inspired paper tags for all your crafty needs. They have a large selection to choose from, all different shapes, sizes and styles! If you’re starting early on your Christmas projects, you must check out their site. They have new holiday journaling tags, and embellishment perfect for all your holiday crafts!

To enter, just leave a comment letting us into a secret, ‘if you could only be one, would you be shabby or chic?’ – for me, I’d want to be chic, but I’m actually pretty shabby, if I tell the truth! And if there is any doubt, I would show you my hair which currently is freshly coloured, but tied in the biggest knot of all time. Win some, lose some.
Entries close at midnight Sunday UK time and the winner will be posted Monday evening, so be sure to check back to see if it’s your lucky day!
Good luck!

I’m shabby because I’m pretty much invisible. I think I would rather be chic and then maybe people would see me.
14 October 2011, 15:37
I’d choose chic… Most of the time, I feel like I’m pretty shabby, though I try to look nice as much as possible! :)
14 October 2011, 15:40
i’d have to choose shabby as i’m a gardener so i always look shabby
14 October 2011, 15:41
Definitely Chic, i can be shabby anytime…its so much easier!
14 October 2011, 15:42

14 October 2011, 15:58
I aspire to be chic but shabby always seems to win :-)
14 October 2011, 15:58
I’m a chic girl although right now I feel pretty shabby having a good old friday night in my pjs!

14 October 2011, 16:13
Definitely chic for me!
14 October 2011, 16:14
Chick, for sure. =]
14 October 2011, 16:15
These tags are gorgeous! So perfect for layouts. Like many previous posters, I would absolutely love to be chic, to be sophisticated and smart and well presented. But hey, if shabby means well loved and comfortable then that’s definitely me.
14 October 2011, 16:16
Beautiful tags, and the perfect time of year to be getting some with all the holidays/parties coming up.
14 October 2011, 16:19
I would rather be chic also I’m rather shabby. Hey, the questions was, “who would you rather be?” lol
14 October 2011, 16:19
I’d like to be chic (and have the time to be chic!) instead of mummy-shabby!
oh, and @ladykatkin—you’re not invisible!! We see you!!!
@shimelle—we want a pic of your newly coloured hair :)please
14 October 2011, 16:22
How fun! I’d want to be shabby, but in a very organized way…wait, that’s what I am pretty much already, lol!! ;) It’s too much work (and takes too long) to be chic all the time! – April W
14 October 2011, 16:23
Can’t I be both?? No? Ok, well if I’m honest I really am shabby ;) except on my wedding day! lol
14 October 2011, 16:26
I’m both – just depends on my mood and where I’m going. Scrapbook LOs are neither!
14 October 2011, 16:31
Who doesn’t want to be chic? But I always run out of time so like everyone else, my life is too shabby ;)
14 October 2011, 16:31
I’d love to be chic, I do try!
14 October 2011, 16:32
I would so love to be chic but, I fear, I’ll always be just that bit shabby! (”,)
14 October 2011, 16:37
No question – I would be totally chic! Shabby is easy for me! :-)
14 October 2011, 16:37
Shabby all the way! Chic is sooo yesterday lol!
14 October 2011, 16:45
I’d love to say chic but I’m not sure I pull it off all the time! Some days it’s just too tempting to slob around the house feeling shabby! Becky x
14 October 2011, 16:47
When I grow up I want to be chic!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a lot of growing to do cause at the moment it is 7.30 am on a very wet saturday and I must admit I look shabby……
14 October 2011, 16:52
Shabby all the way… chic is too much trouble. :P
14 October 2011, 16:55
Already shabby, so it’s got to be chic, because that’s everything I’m not.
14 October 2011, 16:55
I’m probably more shabby, but I aspire to be chic.
14 October 2011, 16:57
I’m shabby but I like it that way!
14 October 2011, 17:08
I’m shabby at home but chic at work. Every now and then I’ll be chic at home. Keeps the husband happy!
14 October 2011, 17:09
Oh it would have to be Audrey Hepburn chic – I wish lol.
14 October 2011, 17:11
At the moment I’d have to answer Shabby as with 2 kids aged 2 and under I always get covered with food etc so don’t wear nice clothing. Looking forward to being Chic when they’re all grown up
14 October 2011, 17:12
chic!
14 October 2011, 17:15
I have to say I am shabby all the way. Much more comfortable that way. I have 5 sisters most are pretty chic!
14 October 2011, 17:17
I am shabby… i try to be chic but my hair always gives me a way… so i just come to except my shaby way and make it work for me :)
14 October 2011, 17:18
Would love to be chic, but living in rural Spain have definate shabby tendencies!
Alison xx
14 October 2011, 17:22
I would love to say chic but it is just never going to happen, I guess I am just a shabby kind of a girl
14 October 2011, 17:22
I aspire to be shabby but the neat freak often over rules!
14 October 2011, 17:23
Am pretty chic with shabby tendencies…
14 October 2011, 17:23
I’ll go with Shabby
14 October 2011, 17:25
I’d have to say chic! But a little shabby once in awhile would be ok too!
14 October 2011, 17:31
Chic is way over-rated. :) For me it takes too much time and energy. I’m more of cute-shabby kinda girl. That way I have more time to be more scrappy. :)
14 October 2011, 17:36
In my mind tres chic but in reality can’t be fussed so a bit shabby :0)
14 October 2011, 17:37
I would like to be chic, but seem to only pull that off every once in a while. Thanks for the chance at a great giveaway!
14 October 2011, 17:47
I would love to be Chic but I will have to put up with being Shabby!
14 October 2011, 17:49
With two boys, one dog and three cats I’m definitely shabby!!!
14 October 2011, 18:02
Oh am oh so shabby and proud! I love anything that has been loved and worn. <3
14 October 2011, 18:13
I try to be chic, but fail miserably sometimes! Awesome tags!
14 October 2011, 18:19
Shabby all the way for me!
14 October 2011, 18:20
I would say shabby…but not in the runned down sort of way…more like a well-worn pair of jeans that are soft and brushed and fit like a glove. Sure, maybe they are a little tattered, but they’ve gone a lot of places and just feel good. Yeah…I’m shabby.
14 October 2011, 18:22
C’est chic with a bit of geek thrown in!
14 October 2011, 18:24
No doubt about it I would be shabby. Chic takes too much work!
14 October 2011, 18:36
Shabby or Chic? In real life, Chic just takes way too much time and energy! I’m going to opt for Shabby, just because it’s so much easier!
14 October 2011, 18:36
Shabby for me too! Chic takes too much effort ;)
14 October 2011, 18:38
Can I be both??? :) yay – love your giveaways!!
14 October 2011, 18:40
While I aspire to chic I am afraid I am generally very shabby. I would like to blame being a SAHM but sadly these shabby tendencies are much older!
14 October 2011, 18:47
Shabby!!!! Life is too short to be exclusively chic :)
14 October 2011, 18:52
I would definitely say I am both. I try to be chic, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen :)
14 October 2011, 18:56
I would have to say chic!
14 October 2011, 19:16
I’d say I’m shabby… probably leaning toward grungy, but since that isn’t a choice…. :)
14 October 2011, 19:21
I would have to choose shabby.
14 October 2011, 19:21
I have no clue wht my style is lol but would love a chance to win.
14 October 2011, 19:31
I think I’m with you…I want to be chic but I’m probably more shabby.
14 October 2011, 19:32
I strive for chic, but I am always just a bit more shabby…
14 October 2011, 19:33
There’s not a bit of chic in me! I’m definitely shabby and happy to be that way. :-)
14 October 2011, 19:53
I aspire to low-maintenance chic but I suspect that’s a misnomer so how about chic for significant moments? Love the tags.
14 October 2011, 19:55
I’m like you, wish I were chic but usually shabby! LOL
14 October 2011, 19:59

14 October 2011, 20:32

14 October 2011, 20:34
I’m nowhere near chic so shabby all the way for me. Great giveaway again this week. Thanks Shimelle
14 October 2011, 20:56
If I could only be one, I would say that I would be shabby. I don’t know that I could ever get the “chic” down.
14 October 2011, 22:03
Hmmm… I am really not either shabby or chic. I guess I’d rather be chic but naaaa… that would never happen!
14 October 2011, 22:42
I’m shabby, but I would love the chance to be chic ever once in a while.
14 October 2011, 22:42
I think I am a little bit of both :)
14 October 2011, 22:47
I am neither shabby nor chic but my preference will be shabby.
15 October 2011, 01:20
I would love to be chic and be able to feel relaxed being shabby :D
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
15 October 2011, 01:45
I would totally be chic, like Audrey Hepburn type chic, french chic…oh yes, I would LOVE to be chic!
15 October 2011, 01:48
Would like to think I’m ‘shabby chic’ but I would love to be chic!
15 October 2011, 01:55
The outer core of me is Chic but I love to be shabby when I’m in my me time, kids time, family time. No one to impress just be me.
15 October 2011, 02:11
I want to be chic, but I think I“m more shabby too!
15 October 2011, 02:20
I´m mostly shabby – my hair is to fine. I like to be chic – it gives me a shine :)
15 October 2011, 02:24
I think I’d like to be shabby and not mind, instead of aspiring and failing to be chic
15 October 2011, 02:45
Shabby definately!
15 October 2011, 02:57
Would love to be chic but am shabby!!
15 October 2011, 03:00
I always thought by the time I was 33 I’d be chic. But at 57, I’m a shabby girl it seems!
15 October 2011, 03:03
I’m trying to be much more chic. Just bought some new outfits for work after wearing the same old tatty things for years and it’s done wonders for my confidence. (I feel a layout coming on!)x
15 October 2011, 03:12
i’ll prefer to be chic….but no way, i will always be a shabby girl
15 October 2011, 03:21
Chic! – if I could choose. I do not fall in that category now!
15 October 2011, 03:36

15 October 2011, 07:58
I would be shabby. I love vintage, so that would come through.
15 October 2011, 08:10
I can’t decide between the words. I want to be chic on christmas and new years eve and I am shabby the other days. But it doesn’t matter if chic or shabby as long as we are being real.
15 October 2011, 08:20
I’d like to be Chic.In my daily life I’m very often shabby because of my children and my job as a stay at home mum. So i would choose chic.

15 October 2011, 10:25
Is it possible to be shabby in a chic kind of way? That’s what I choose! Shabby is more my style, but I’d like to have a little “more” style but in a comfy way.
15 October 2011, 10:26
My style is definitely shabby. Its comfortable and I’m happy with. Besides shabby done right really looks good!
15 October 2011, 10:46
Oh to be chic. Unfortunately I am always shabby; chic would be a happy change.
15 October 2011, 10:51

Chic is the ideal, probably shabby though…..
15 October 2011, 15:11
We all seem to be saying the same thing- that’s why it is lovely we have all found each other – to support and encourage. I too am a shabby – but aspiring to be a chic !
15 October 2011, 15:39
Oh I’d love to be shabby! I’m just too darn neat!!! You know, straight lines and exact measurements.
15 October 2011, 15:39
Looks like some cool tags! thanks for sharing.
15 October 2011, 16:11
I would absolutely love to be “chic” – but I’m just not there. Definitely a shabby kind of girl 98% of the time. Thanks for the chance to win! Love Veronica’s tags.
15 October 2011, 16:17
I am also a wannbe “chic” but fall into the “shabby” catagory. Oh well…
Love the cute tags!
15 October 2011, 16:26
I aspire to be chic, although shabby feels pretty comfortable!
Some chic tags would definitely be appreciated to adorn my mini albums with :)
15 October 2011, 17:40
Shabby for sure!
15 October 2011, 17:54
I’m shabby and would probably like to stay shabby but maybe carry it of a little better. Like, shabby because its meant to be not shabby like I’ve just fallen out of the house :)
15 October 2011, 18:16
Probably chic at work and shabby at home! Thanks for the opportunity to win. I love those tags!
15 October 2011, 18:41

Those tags would be great for JYC
15 October 2011, 18:48
I would love to be chic but then sometimes to be shabby is good too. Those lazy, relaxing days are good to be shabby. I think both work well…..:)
15 October 2011, 19:14
I’d choose chic because I am soooooo far from that state!!!
Trisha H
15 October 2011, 19:26
I would sooo be shabby!!! I love the loungy look, but with my job, it’s pressed uniforms and up-do’s all the time!
15 October 2011, 19:32
I would be shabby. I like fun and no frills!
15 October 2011, 20:47
Oh definitely Shabby – chic is just a little dream of mine. Oh to be like Miss Audrey Hepburn.
15 October 2011, 21:15
I’d be shabby—-more comfy!!! and I’d hate to be something I’m not!
16 October 2011, 01:00
I would LOVE to be chic but my Ts & jeans say I’m shabby. Thanks for the chance!

16 October 2011, 04:06
I’d love to be chic but I don’t have it in me. thanks for the contest!
16 October 2011, 04:27
In my head I am chic but the mirror tell’s me – You’re shabby….

16 October 2011, 05:22
I’m shabby – like a well-worn, well-loved pair of slippers :)
16 October 2011, 05:52
I’d love to be chic, but I’m shabby. I love linens and different textures too much. That’s why I love scrap-booking. Veronica’s tags would look wonderful for my JYC album. Thank you for this contest and for introducing Chic Tags!
16 October 2011, 05:54
Definitly shabby, loving the giveaway :)
16 October 2011, 06:30

16 October 2011, 07:51
my first time to comment. :) hope you all have a nice weekend.
16 October 2011, 09:41
Chic, every time.
16 October 2011, 09:45
Shabby can be chic it just depends on your outlook although i would continually find myself striving for chic just to be on the safe side! :)
16 October 2011, 09:48
I’d say shabby – chic seems like a lot more work.
16 October 2011, 10:08
shabby – I try for chic, but always fall short. :)
16 October 2011, 10:30
first, i LOVE her tags and cards! so cute!
second, i’d love to be chic but, alas, shabby it shall be.
but, if you think about it, shabby, these days, is becoming chic. (embrace messy hair. i do!)
xo,a
16 October 2011, 11:23
If I could choose it would be chic all the way! Although admittedly Sunday is not particularly good demonstration of this in my world…
16 October 2011, 11:27
I would probably be shabby, because things that are shabby have more character and usually a story to tell :). Thanks for the chance.
16 October 2011, 12:15
In a house full of men, I am definitely shabby!!
16 October 2011, 12:41
I strive for chic, but more often than not I am a little shabby =)
16 October 2011, 13:37
chic on occasion….shabby most of the time!
16 October 2011, 14:19
Definitely chic, I’m always flicking through mags or watching films and wishing I looked as chic as the models or actresses! One day…
16 October 2011, 14:43
very chic and a little shappy around the edges!
16 October 2011, 15:46
I love the idea of chic, but somehow, shabby seems to win every time!
16 October 2011, 15:48
Either with panache would be lovely, but most of the time it’s shabby but not necessarily in a groovy way!!
16 October 2011, 16:11
I’m probably a chic wannabe but shabby at heart! Hey ho!
16 October 2011, 16:28
I’d choose chic – but I’m not sure I’d pull it off!!!

Shabby all the way. I gave up Chic when I quit working. It’s got to be a HUGE occasion for me to dress up, but I do still fix my hair and put on makeup most days.

Some days I’m shabby and some I’m chic. I guess that’s just the way it goes!!

I’m mostly shabby, but I wish that I could be chic! LOL! The thing about being chic iso that it’s rarely comfortable, and I’m miserable in uncomfortable clothes!
