VISA Everyday Shopper Program: Day 5 Giveaway!

Sponsored Post

Wow…five days flew by so quickly, and this is my final post for the VISA Everyday Shopper Program. Here’s what I bought with $50 each day.

Day 2: Pizza Lunch ($4.15), H&M Dress ($45.14)
Day 3: Jimmy The Greek Lunch ($10.56), Twix ($1.68), Salad King Dinner ($28.45) 
Day 4: Tamarind Indian Lunch ($12.06), Cadbury Creme Egg Minis and Gum ($7.10), Longo’s Groceries ($26.47)
Day 5: Make-up Session at Sephora ($50)

From Day 1 to Day 5, I’ve spent a total of $234.16 on everyday items, and earned a total of 234 points, getting me a bit closer to that coveted new laptop! And all I had to do was buy the things I would purchase anyway, using my good old VISA. Obviously, this is only worth it, if you pay off your balance at the end of each month – I would never encourage you to go on wild shopping sprees using your credit card, if you couldn’t afford the things you’d purchased! So please, exercise caution.

With that said, since you’ve been so awesome, joining me on my spending/collecting adventure, I want to share the goodies…aka a $50 Prepaid VISA Card that you can use to buy your very own everyday items!

Rules of the giveaway after the jump!

What I Wore: Tweed and Snakeskin

Finally got to take a photo of my new obsession – no, not the Joe Fresh snakeskin shirt (even though I do looove it). My new obsession is this simple, classic, and (me thinks) flattering tweed skirt from JACOB. It fits like a dream, looks great at the office, but doesn’t make me feel like I should be picking up my kids from soccer practice. You know what I mean? It’s still youthful, and work-appropriate…and I oh-so-love it!

Speaking of JACOB! In case you didn’t know, the store is having a Christmas Stocking Promotion! There are $290,000 in instant prizes (stuff like a wardrobe full of JACOB clothes, valued at $10,000!)  to be won at check-out at any store – all you have to do is print out a Christmas stocking from their site.

And if that wasn’t enough of an incentive, for each stocking brought in store, JACOB will donate $1 to Goodwill and Renaissance, non-profit organizations whose mission is to facilitate the social and occupational reintegration of women experiencing difficulties. For an additional chance to win a $10,000 wardrobe, all you have to do is share it with some friends. Sharing is caring, right? You can enter here: http://surprisesjacob.ca. And if you end up winning, don’t forget to share the love!

I Wore: Shirt – Joe Fresh; Skirt – Jacob; Necklace – Forever21; Leggings – Target; Boots – Proenza Schouler (The Room); Bag – Prada

Style Days Of Christmas: HP Envy Printer Giveaway

Style Days of Christmas

It’s 11-11-11, and as promised, our Style Days of Christmas Giveaways begin!!! Are you feeling lucky? Well, you should! The giveaways are really a way to say THANK YOU to my lovely readers for supporting this little bloggity blog, for following, liking, reading, commenting, emailing…for all of it – THANK YOU! Style Blog wouldn’t be the same without you.

So, as the holiday season is nearly upon us, we will be giving away 1 fun prize per day from our favorite brands and retailers (well, except for Saturdays and Sundays) for 12 days, as a way to say thanks for your support! Rules will be simple, but still, to ensure that you qualify, please read each one carefully!

Having said all that, here goes our first giveaway!!!

Up for grabs is this awesome HP Envy 100 e-All-in-One Printer (valued at $299.99, courtesy of HP)! With its sleek design, high-res touchscreen, super quiet operation, and a retractable paper tray, this printer is a lovely addition to any style-conscious home office. But as stylish as it looks, HP Envy is also packed with awesome web-connected technology features. You can print wirelessly from your e-mail-enabled smartphone, and even print directions without using a computer!

As a lucky HP Envy owner myself, I can attest to its functionality – I’ve been using it to print out my wedding invite proofs and templates, personal photographs (print quality is amazing by the way), and to scan documents and photos. It takes seconds to print out, and the results are always top-notch.

Ok, so if you need a printer, and you like what you see, here’s what you will need to do to qualify (after the jump!).
