Giveaway: Instagram Magnets from StickyGram

Giveaway: Instagram Magnets from StickyGram

Give Aways Photography

This week's give away is an exciting one! Have you heard of StickyGram yet? For all you Instagram lovers (uh, that would be most of you, right?), StickyGram makes it incredibly easy to import and order magnet sheets of your favorite instagram images.

The printed out magnets are about the same size as the images appear on your phone and they come in sheets of nine photos. I was super impressed with the quality of the printing when I got my order in.

Since our boring white fridge is a bit of an eyesore for me, I was over-the-moon excited about plastering that thing in pictures of my favorite people and places.

I'm sure you can image how much my kids enjoy them too. I think they stood in front of the fridge for about an hour looking at all of the photo magnets the day I put them up. :) I think it's a fun way to display family photos without being too formal and serious about the thing. Plus, (and this is why Instagram is as popular as it is) candid shots featuring real life are so much more interesting than posed photos, don't you think?

StickyGram is giving away three full sheets of magnets today for one reader. To enter, please leave a comment on this post (I've opened up the comments today to allow for unregistered users - so be sure to leave your email address if you're not signed in).

Contest ends at midnight on Monday March 25. Open to everyone, every where - StickyGram ships worldwide! Good luck!

$500 Shopping Spree from Beso

$500 Shopping Spree from Beso

Give Aways

Do you know what I'm still trying to figure out? Online clothes shopping. I sort of hem and haw over an item, then accidentally close the tab or forget about it, and then I'm devastated when I realize I missed out on something special that I really did want. It's a bummer.

Then I met Elise Loehnen, the editor-in-chief of Beso at Alt. We have some mutual friends, so I had heard about her a few times. Let me tell you - these people at Beso know their fashion stuff. Elise and her crew are chic and effortless and I wanted them to tell me all their fashion secrets and what to fill my closet with. Then I checked out Beso's site and realized that's exactly what they do - they make chic suggestions and then give you a place to collect your finds from (literally) thousands of online sources.

Elise was super generous and asked if I wanted to give away a $500 collection ("um, yes"). So here's the deal - you make a collection of your own (can be worth any dollar value) and leave a link to you collection in a comment here after you've started. You get an extra entry for a Facebook like, too, so go ahead and like it up. Add to that collection all week if you want. And then next weekend a lucky winner will be chosen and gifted their entire collection, valued up to $500.

So for my collection here, I focused on spring pieces. Who else is SO sick of winter clothes? I love my short boots as much as the next girl, but I'm pretty ready for a good pair of strappy heels. Oh, and here's a little suggestion for when you're putting together your collection: Use the editor's guides and the Beso blog for all those great fashion tips I was talking about earlier. They've done a lot of the leg work of searching for us.

Contest ends Sunday March 10 at midnight. Winner will be chosen randomly and emailed (so be sure to log in or leave your email address). Good luck!

Give Away from StyleMint (With Five Winners!)

Give Away from StyleMint (With Five Winners!)

Give Aways

So this is weird. As I sat down to write this post about StyleMint, an adorable online fashion shop founded by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, I happened to be watching a late-night rerun of Full House (the episode where Kimmy and DJ are babysitting and the kid's head gets stuck in the banister so they rub margarine all over him - so good), AND I look down and I'm wearing a t-shirt from StyleMint! What does it all mean?!

Clearly the stars have aligned and this give away was meant to be. Five winners will be chosen to win a cool t-shirt of their choice from StyleMint (some of my favorite styles are shown above). To enter, register and choose your favorite pieces and leave a comment on this post with your top picks.

Here are a few more of my favorite pieces available now at StyleMint. They're offering a discount to first-time shoppers - check it out.

The five winners will be chosen on Sunday night at midnight. Good luck!

PS Also I just remembered that about once a week someone on the street tells me I look like MK&A's little sister, Elizabeth. So basically what I'm saying is... I was meant to be an Olsen. I wonder if they need a decorator?

PS L&S wanted me to mention they are selling original fashion drawings from an in-house artist that would make fun gifts. Check them out here. I like the skirt on this one especially.
