What would you do if you received a year’s worth of your salary upfront…without having to work for it? If that sounds good to you, make sure to stop by any Banana Republic store in North America starting September 3rd – September 6th, and see if you won up to $100,000!
So, lovelies, if you won the money, what would you do with it?

So Gap has been all over the internet lately, what with the new premium pant collection, and their new line of well-fitting jeans in stores, I must say the buzz is quite justified. I, myself, got a pair of cropped work pants the other day, and I just don’t want to take them off – they fit so well! But today, there’s another reason to shop at Gap – a 50% off Groupon coupon!
Just as a disclaimer, I am not associated with either Gap or Groupon, but a deal this good is TOO good to pass up! All you have to do is register with Groupon (if you still don’t have an account), and purchase today’s buy for $25! You then will be emailed a $50 voucher to be spent at any Gap store in the US or Canada (expires in November 2010). It’s basically 50% off your purchase (even sale items included)! I am definitely buying one today, and getting another pair of premium pants – working at the office, you can never have too many, right?
What are you going to spend your Groupon on? Let me know in the comments!

I don’t remember the last time I shopped at Sears, mainly due to the lack of any sort of contemporary clothing in their stores. Sure they have Clinique and Lancome counters, but other than that, there’s nothing that makes me want to shop there.
Seems like the Sears people finally realized that something was missing, and as a result, they now have Modern Shop on their main floor! The Shop includes brands like Guess, Kensie, Attitude (which had a pretty great show for Fall 2010 at LGFW), American Apparel, Buffalo, and many others. And to get you to check out their selection, Sears will be offering $20 Sears Gift Cards to the first 50 people to visit Modern Shop (at Toronto Eaton Centre) this Saturday, June 12 at 1:30 pm! All you have to do is say the secret word, and the card is yours. I was advised that this promotion was not mailed to many, thus Style Blog’s readers might have a pretty good chance of taking advantage of this promo. If you’re interested in the Modern Shop, and want to get $20 Sears Gift Card, the secret word is…

I’ve been meaning to post this a while ago, but yet again, life gets in the way of blogging! Well, the promissed giveaway is finally here, and it’s for Skin MD Natural Lotion - shielding lotion that is unlike any other conventional, artificial moisturizers because it works with the skin to naturally moisturize and heal. I was lucky to receive a sample from Skin MD to try it for myself, and didn’t want to write about it until I could see the effects of this moisturizer for myself.
Well, I’ve been using it for about a month now, and I absolutely love the results! This lotion is lightweight, yet it leaves my skin feeling hydrated for hours. I’ve also noticed that my skin is much softer and silkier. The right type of lotion is so important to me, especially right now, since my skin tends to get so dry over the winter months – Spring is all about renewing and re-hydrating. The press release states the following:
“Most conventional, artificial moisturizers only add moisture to the surface of the skin, but do little to repair the skin’s natural barrier against moisture robbing irritants. Continued use of artificial moisturizers can cause the skin to actually begin producing less of its own natural oils, thinking that the skin has enough moisture. This can cause skin to form a dependence on the moisturizer for hydration. Skin MD Natural breaks the dry skin cycle by working to help restore skin’s natural protective abilities by bonding to the outer layer of skin, strengthening skins natural barrier against toxins and irritants that can dry the skin, while locking in the skin’s natural oils.
Made in the US using high quality natural ingredients making it over 90% all natural. All ingredients are considered to be of food grade and are also on the FDA’s most safe list. It is free of harmful fragrances, parabens, and colorants making it hypoallergenic. We don’t participate in animal testing nor does the lotion contain any animal products.”
Natural, cruelty-free, and super-hydrating? Yes, please! Now you can also try Skin MD for yourself and see what the fuss is all about! All you need to do is leave a comment below with the following info:
1. Name and Email Address
2. The type/brand of moisturizer you currently use
3. You may also follow Style Blog on Twitter: www.twitter.com/styleblogca for more contests and giveaways
Winner will be selected at random on Friday, April 9th, 2010. One comment per person, please. This contest is open to both Canadian and International readers. Good luck, lovelies!

So, if you work around Toronto’s Financial District, you might still be able to participate in Jergens event that ends March 4th. Bring one empty bottle of lotion of any brand to the concourse level of Brookfield Place (161 Bay St.), fill out a quick survey, and get one of the three full-sized bottles of Jergens Naturals for free! A quick tour around a box is also mandatory, but you’ll be done before you finish your eye-roll. And while you’re at it, grab a free cup of java at the nearby McDonalds. Freebies at lunch? I am definitely loving it!

Have you been to the Gap recently? Stella McCartney for GapKids, duh! Ok, what I really meant was, have you checked out the regular Gap collection recently? I went last weekend, and fell in love withall the winter clothes. Truth is, I’m a huge sucker when it comes to Christmas-inspired clothing. No, I do not wear reindeer sweaters ala Mark Darcy, but I do love red pajamas, white knitted sweaters, red plaid shirts, hats, scarves, mittens…anything that looks cozy, and wearable by a fireplace at a cottage on a ski snowboarding trip or Christmas morning. GapBody also has adorable undies, packed into tiny colorful little gift boxes that you could hang on a tree or use as stocking stuffers! Comfy robes, pjs, and so much more! Well, to top it all off, December 2nd, 9th, and 30th, you get 40% off one regularly priced item at Gap, GapKids, BabyGap, and GapBody. Happy Shopping!
