H&M Style Face-off x VitaminDaily.com

Most of you already know that my love for H&M runs deep. It’s one of those stores that keeps popping up over and over (and over and over) again on my bank statement month after month – I think I might just be addicted. So when Vitamin Daily asked me to contribute to a promo that involved H&M, I didn’t have to think twice. I think my response might’ve been to the extent of ”YESWHEREDOISIGNIAMSOHAPPYILOVEH&M”.

So here’s the deal: I, among some really cool bloggers (Beckerman sisters, Stefania of Textstyles, It Girl Anya, and a few others) had to stop by an H&M store, style a mannequin, and take some photos of our final masterpiece(s).

What for? Well, Vitamin Daily is holding a super fun H&M Style Face-off contest, which just went live, and you…yes YOU can win $100 H&M gift card, simply by voting on your favorite mannequin. Seriously…that’s ALL you have to do – Like Vitamin Daily’s Facebook Page, then click Like on your fave look (1 per person), sit back, and hope that you won.

And while I’m not going to twist your arm and make you vote for my creation (do it!), I do think she looks mighty cute. And if you do decide to vote for Style Blog’s mannequin – I have a ~~bribe~~ chocolate bar with your name on it…though I will probably eat it myself…but I’ll think of you while eating it! Deal?

I will admit though, I do have some crazy-good competition – I, myself, adore all of the looks that other bloggers put together, so if you don’t vote for blonde Nelly Jr., I won’t hold it against you (but no chocolate for you!).

So what are you waiting for? Visit Vitamin Daily Facebook Page to enter H&M Style Face-off contest now!

I Wore: Dress, T-shirt - H&M; Necklace – Forever21; Shoes – Aldo x Flare; Bracelet – BCBG

Giveaway: Vaughan Mills New Media Challenge

If there’s one thing, fashion bloggers have in common it’s their love for shopping! Last month, the good folks of Vaughan Mills, loaded a bunch of bloggers onto their Free Shuttle bus at Union Station, gave each of us $100 to spend at the mall in one hour, and set us free. The rules were simple: buy the perfect(est) fashion find for $100 or less in one hour. All finds would then be judged by the Vaughan Mills Style Agents, to determine whose fab find was the fabbest. The winner would get $500 to spend at the mall. Easy, peasy.

From Union to Vaughan Mills, the trip was fun and enjoyable for all. People mingled, laughed, and revealed their shopping strategies. Before long, we were in front of neighborhood 5, and ready to begin our hour-long shopping sprees. Now this part got a bit more stressful. As some of you surely know, Vaughan Mills is huge! To get from one side of the mall to the other takes approximately 30 bajillion minutes, add to that the number of awesome stores to check out, and you’ll see how challenging getting your shopping done in 1 hour was for us.

No matter, I persevered, by running…and no, I don’t mean walking really fast…I was running for my life (and potentially $500), peeking into stores like Danier Leather, Holts Last Call, and Stylesense on my way. When the hour was up, I was back at the finish line, wearing my newly bought oversized Line Knitwear sweater ($40 at Holts Last Call), and a pair of Steve Madden wedges ($69 at Stylesense). Slightly over $100, but pretty amazing deals, nonetheless.

Chatting with the rest of the bloggers about their crazy shopping experience was part of the fun, Kristy of Monochromachic picked up a neon-bright BCBG jacket, Liv Judd of Lou Lou Mag walked away with a classic DVF dress, Fashionights‘ Julio bought an all-leather clutch from American Apparel…it seemed that everyone had a great time speed-shopping that day. The winner – Joyce of Sparkly Playground – wowed judges with her animal print jumpsuit from H&M, and scored an awesome shopping treat for her hard work.

What a fun experience that was! Like ANTM + Survivor + American Gladiators combined, with a sprinkle of American Idol for good measure. But that’s not all! I was also given a $100 gift card to share with one of my readers…who won’t have to do his/her shopping manically in 1 hour…unless it’s your thing, then go right ahead.

Contest details after the JUMP!

Giveaway: $100 Shopbop Gift Card

Are you ready for summer? Of course you are…but what I really mean is…Is your wardrobe summer-ready? To be quite honest, I don’t think mine is yet. There are still so many things I want to purchase for the summer season…if it ever does show up in Toronto.

Some items that I still need to buy are: a couple of maxi skirts, some printed dresses for work (I adore the ones from Milly NY), and perhaps a pair of easy-breezy culottes for the hot summer weekends (DVF shorts, anyone?). But enough about me. I want to know what your must-buy item for the summer is, and in return, I will give one lucky winner $100 to spend at Shopbop on anything they’d like! Sounds like a good deal? Here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment (1 per person, please)

3. For extra entries, follow Shopbop on Twitter (+1 entry)

4. For another extra entry, please RT the following: “Hey @styleblogca, if I win a $100 gift card from @Shopbop, I will buy _______! http://styleblog.ca/?p=10058” (+1 entry)

6. This giveaway is open to everyone, except the residents of Pennsylvania (sorry!)!

7. C’est tout!

~~The giveaway will close on Sunday, May 29th, 2011 at 11:59 EST. Good luck!~~ And the winner is…drumroll, please…ABIGAIL, who said: “I’d LOVE to win this!I’d buy a pair of Pour La Victoire shoes for my upcoming wedding”. Your gift card will be sent to you shortly!

Giveaway: Finding Myself in Fashion by Jeanne Beker

When I was offered an advance copy of Jeanne Beker’s autobiography, I jumped at the chance! Jeanne is a Canadian institution, and I was really curious to find out just what her path to success was like. After getting through the book in 2 days, here’s what I thought.

Finding Myself in Fashion is an inspiring read about one woman’s quest to live an extraordinary life. In her latest book, Jeanne Beker candidly opens up and shares many riveting stories about her life, her family, her business ventures, and her true love – fashion. Offering an intimate look not only at the fashion industry and its players, but at her life’s most interesting highs and lows.

The more I read this book, the more I realized that despite the privilege and the gloss, despite the glamourous façade, behind the scenes, Jeanne Beker is first and foremost a real woman and a mother, but one, who was never afraid to forge her own path, be it in fashion or in life. And for that, I truly have a huge amount of respect for her.

If you would like to win a copy of Finding Myself in Fashion, here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment (1 per person, please)

2. Tell me why you’d like to win this book

3. For extra entries, please RT the following: “@styleblogca I’d love to win #FindingMyselfinFashion by @Jeanne_Beker! http://styleblog.ca/?p=9837”

4. Again, you don’t have to be a follower, but it’s always appreciated

5. This giveaway is open to Canadians only

6. C’est tout!

~~The giveaway will close on May 15th, 2011 at 11:59 EST. Good luck!~~ And the winner is…jessica!!! She said that she would love to win because ”i love reading about brave, daring canadian biographies”.

Giveaway: My Mom, Style Icon

When this book landed in my mailbox, I couldn’t put it down. Looking through some old-school photos of other people’s stylish moms, reading their stories, made me go right back to my own family photo album. My mom has a few photos that I really love to look at…especially from the 80′s, with her short black hair, high-waisted jeans, and cool sweaters - in those snapshots, she is the epitome of 80′s style – young, cool and not at all mommy-like. Makes me wish I had more photos of her from those days.

“Moms are people, too…fashionable people! Before we came along to yank on their skirts, they showed leg, sported killer bangs, and flaunted bikinis. Some even wore feathers and halter tops and drove around on motorcycles. Was their style shocking? Yes. Covetable? Absolutely. Based on Piper Weiss’s hugely popular blog of the same name, this book features 200 color photographs from decades past of moms showing us how it’s done. A perfect gift for mothers, daughters, and style mavens, My Mom, Style Icon is an entertaining celebration of the very first—and most important—style icon in a young woman’s life.”

If you’d like to win a copy of this book (right in time for Mother’s Day), here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment, telling me what you love about your mom’s style

2. For extra entries, RT the following “@styleblogca I’d love to win a copy of “My Mom, Style Icon” #mymomstyleicon! http://styleblog.ca/?p=9746”

3. You don’t have to be a follower, but it’s always appreciated

4. This giveaway is open to everyone!

5. C’est tout

~~This giveaway closes on Sunday, May 1st at 11:59pm (EST). Good luck!~~ And the winner is…drumroll…textstyles! Congrats, and thanks for entering! Please email me your address, and we’ll ship you the book! Another contest is coming very soon, so stay tuned.

Giveaway: LGFW Line Knitwear Encore Show – 10 Tickets

I know, I know…the Dr. Martens giveaway isn’t even over yet, and here I am posting yet another one. Hope you aren’t too mad at me.

If you follow Canadian fashion, you already know that Line Knitwear, was created in 2000 and designed by Toronto-based designers Jennifer Wells and John Muscat, is in its 3rd season at LG Fashion Week and is loved by celebs and media alike. My favorite Line pieces are usually their intricate knits (duh!), but don’t be fulled by the presence of “knitwear” in the label’s name, Muscat and Wells design a range of tres feminine non-knitwear too.

So, on to the giveaway…thanks to the lovelies over at rock-it promotions, I’ll be giving away 10 tickets…yes TEN tickets in total, to their Fall 2011 runway show tomorrow in Toronto! Exciting, right?

Giveaway: Dr Martens 1461 Shoes

Actresses love them, supermodels rock them, hipsters can’t get enough of them…Lots of people I know have Doc stories of their own, and some have even kept their very first pair for years and years – after all, they are guaranteed for life!

My Dr. Martens shoe of choice has always been the classic 1460 in black. Wearing them, instantly gives me a spring in my step – mostly because of the cushy rubber soles, but also because of the air of badassery that they exude. Though, looking at the Spring 2011 lookbook, I’m seriously reconsidering my commitment to black. There’s floral Docs, and animal print Docs, and pastel-colored Docs, and armor Docs…oh my!

If you’re intrigued, now is your chance to get your hands on your very own pair of Doc Martens 1461 shoes – your choice of color and size! Excited?

Here’s what you need to do:

1. Leave a comment (1 per person, please)

2. Tell me which pair of 1461s is your fave

~~I will pick a winner on Friday, April 8th. Good luck!~~ And the winner is…Irina, who, like me, also prefers the classic black Docs! Congrats, lady! Email me your mailing addy, and I’ll make sure that you get your new shoes! And for all those that entered but didn’t win this time, there’s lots more contests coming very soon! Stay tuned.
