Holt Renfrew Giveaway

I can't help it.  I simply must.  To say thanks for the amazing response to RLR Treat Week, we're going out with a crash, boom, bang.  What would you buy at Holt Renfrew if you could?  Would you splurge on a pair of Choo's or get that Mulberry/Marc Jacobs you've always wanted? Would you go to La Mer or would you go for something sinfully sparkly?  Leave a comment below to win a $50 Gift Card to Holts!  Contest ends at midnight tonight.   Thanks to everyone for such an amazing week and happy Friday! xo

Smart Set Giveaway

When I need basics, I always go to Smart Set.   Their stretchy tanks and tees are super well-made and equally well-priced and always come in all the colours I need.  Plus, Smart Set has stepped up their game lately after undergoing a massive customer research initiative to figure out exactly what fit, style and trends the Smart Set woman is after.  After checking out their Fall '12 collection at the Toronto preview last week, I can tell you that there are loads of pretty pieces I'm eyeing for fall, including this insane red coat with the perfect oversized collar, and some to-die-for blouses and lacey shirts that will take up some serious real estate in my closet.

For our last giveaway of the week, we're donating a $50 gift card to Smart Set! To win, leave a comment below telling me your favourite summer go-to's.  Do you live in shorts & tees?  Do you rely on breezy dresses to beat the heat?  Contest closes at midnight tonight.  Thanks to Smart Set & Brill Communications for this great prize. Best of luck, y'all! x

Foxy Originals Necklace Giveaway

A proudly Canadian company, Foxy Originals jewelry has always stood out, with its colourful enamel designs, innovative shapes and clean lines.  Founders Jen Kluger and Suzie Orol started the business as students at Western, selling their pretty pieces at craft fairs and music festivals across the country.

Today, Foxy counts popular celebrities and fashion influencers among the women who make up the cult following of their iconic pieces and are featured regularly in mags like InStyle, O Magazine, and People Style Watch.  So cool that this Toronto-made jewelry now sells in hundreds of boutiques throughout Canada, the US, the UK, Japan, Australia, and beyond.  Props. 

For the last day of RLR Treat Week, we're giving away Two Foxy Originals necklaces:  The Lace Necklace in Gold/Green Stone ($44 value) and the Tribal Necklace in Silver ($48 value).  To win, tell me what kind of jewelry you love to wear most.  Are you an earring person? A ring person?  A bold bangle-wearer or maybe a classic pearl girl?  Contest closes at midnight tonight.  Good luck! x

Crepe de Chine Blouses, $59.95 each

Italian-Made Leather Wedge Sandal, $99.95

Gemstone Statement Necklace, $45 

There's a palpable buzz surrounding Le Château these days;  The clothes are suddenly a little more luxe, the offering decidedly more refined and the styling has gone to an insane new level.  On my recent trips to the store, I've scored Italian-made wedges, pretty pastel blouses, and a crazy cool statement necklace that looks like a Net-A-Porter splurge, and it seems like every time I go online, I find something else that I simply can't live without.   

Le Château has offered up a super huge prize for the last day of RLR's Treat Week with a $150 Gift Card up for grabs!  To win, leave a comment below telling me your favourite spring 2012 trend. Contest closes at midnight tonight.   A huge merci to Le Château for this sweet prize! Bisous et bonne chance! x

Roots Giveaway

Best cottage hostess gift EVER.  The Roots Hand-Embroidered Canada Pillow ($245)

My most recent Roots obsession - the Selina Italian Leather Box Bag ($239.99)  I wear it every day (did you know it's pink inside? sigh...)

I can always count on Roots for a hit of pure Canadiana, with its cozy sweaters, easy lounge wear, sumptuous leather handbags and nostalgic finds (Beaver Canoe, anyone?).  With the influx of American chains storming our retail scene, I love to see that Roots is constantly growing, evolving and, like a fine VQA, just keeps getting better with age.  

It's the last day of RLR's Treat Week and to celebrate, we're giving away a $50 Gift Card to Roots.  To win, leave a comment below telling me your what you love most about Canada.  (Maple syrup? Hockey? Justin Bieber?) Contest ends at 5 pm today.  Good luck to every Canuck! x
