Win three dresses from Swoon!

Attention engaged readers!!  This Monday, March 1st, Swoon is launching a contest that will have you salivating… The winner will win three gorgeous Swoon bridesmaid dresses of her choice.  That’s a sure-fire recipe for three happy bridesmaids if I’ve ever heard one! {That’s almost $1,000 worth of chic silk bridesmaids dresses, free!}

The contest runs from March 1st through April 30th.  Here’s all you need to do:  Brides-to-be submit a written statement {to: enterme@swoondress.com} explaining why you adore your bridesmaids, what they mean to you, and why you picked them to be by your side on the big day.  Swoon designer/owner Amy Wong Micucci will choose the winner and will announce the winner in early May.

Please keep in mind that the dresses are made to order and will take 3 to 4 months for production.  Good luck!!  xx

Carolyn Murphy and You

Just this week, model Carolyn Murphy {known for her sunny good looks and laid-back California/surf style} trekked to the Santa Monica Peek…Aren’t You Curious store from Ojai to go school shopping for her daughter- and left with the cutest clothes in the shop.  Here’s your chance to do the same, but unlike Carolyn, you won’t have to pay!  Click here to enter to win a chance at a $250 gift certificate to shop in one of Peek’s eight  stores or on their e-commerce website.

The 2 Bandits Giveaway!

We’ve all been snatching up ‘bandits’ from The 2 Bandits- who cares if fall isn’t here yet? { I just love a boot with a pair of short shorts, don’t you? }   Here’s your chance to pick a pair for yourself- completely free.  No charge.  Nada.  Just comment on this post, tell us which pair is your favorite and why you love them.  Erica and Tamar from The 2 Bandits will pick their favorite answer on August 31st, when we will announce the lucky girl who won.  Good luck ladies!  xx

P.S. If you don’t know what ‘bandits’ are, let me fill you in: they are chic bands {in most cases, but they also make drapey chain ‘bandits’ as well, which I looove…} engineered to fit any size calf and stay gripped to your boots.  They change the look of your tired old boots in an instant.  And here’s an adorable video they made that shows just how to wear them…
