A Peter Pilotto for Target Giveaway

As happy as a Monday can get, I'm about to make it happier. I busted it through the ice and snow to get to the London Target this morning and since I live on the fringe  there were still a couple Peter Pilotto for Target beauties left on the racks, which I promptly snatched up for you!

So, if you waited in line to no avail, or your size was out, or you just couldn't be bothered, please leave a comment below telling me why you'd like to win. After all, we at RLR firmly believe in second chances.

Contest is open to residents of Canada only and ends this Wednesday at 5 pm. 

Good luck!

Look More Chic in 2014 + Win a $100 Smart Set Shopping Spree

Originally posted in The CLOSET

One week into January and we've already had 3 snow days. Luckily, the deep freeze means that I've had loads of time indoors to manhandle one of the top resolutions on my list: my closet. Though I'm supposed to be a good editor since my job title is 'Fashion Expert', even my closet is filled with things I really don't need. So now, we're colour-coded, culled and totally caught up which means that I'm allowing myself to buy a few more things. Pilled and stretched sweaters need to be replaced, old jeans need updating and, of course, I have my eye on a few things that I want, just because they're pretty.

To kick off the year, I've rounded up some gorgeous finds from Smart Set to help you in your quest to look more chic in 2014. Read on for my top tips + enter to win a $100 gift card to shop Smart Set's new collection...

An eBay Canada Twitter Giveaway: Outfit 2

It's the Monday before Christmas and all through my house, well, it's chaos. And so, please forgive the unwordiness of this post. And similarly, please forgive the use of words that don't exist (see: unwordiness). And instead, focus solely on this gorgeous look from eBay.ca. If you entered last week's contest, you probably know what's coming. eBay.ca has given me this beautiful look including a stunning brand new wool moto jacket from Guess (photo does not do it justice) and a long and lovely floral maxi (both size XS) to go with. (I featured both on The Morning Show).

Here's how to win this look: 

1) Follow @eBayCanada and @realliferunway on Twitter.

2) Tweet the following '@realliferunway & @eBayCanada are giving away a perfect wool moto jacket. Details here: http://bit.ly/1hzyW2n. RT to #win!'

3) Contest closes this Friday, Dec 27th at 5 pm.

Bonne chance and check back for outfit #3 later this week. If I don't talk to you in the next few days (unlikely since I'll be busy stuffing my stockings and my face), happy, happy holidays and Christmas to you! Hope it's the merriest yet.

MasterCard Stylicity: The Ultimate Canadian Tuxedo Contest

m0851 show us its take on the Canadian Tuxedo for MasterCard Stylicity

Love it or hate it, the Canadian Tuxedo (read: denim on denim) is here to stay. Where the world once saw our laid-back fashion 'tude as a bit of a joke, the recent popularity of top-to-toe denim suggests that maybe Canada has always just been a little bit ahead of the curve. From Lincoln Centre to the Paris runways, double denim has never been so chic and now, MasterCard Stylicity wants to see your take on the now-iconic trend.  

Show off your street style prowess by posting a pic of your updated version of the Canadian Tuxedo to Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #stylicity. All photos will be collected and displayed on the MasterCard Stylicity website and a grand prize of one $2,000 MasterCard Prepaid Card will be awarded to one fashionable Canadian. Um, amazing?!

So bust out your jean-ius style and enter the Show us Your Canadian Tuxedo contest by November 3, 2013. For inspiration, visit participating Sylicity merchants such as eLUXE.ca, M for Mendocino,m0851 and Philip, who have each redefined the Canadian Tuxedo in their own way.

Oh, and if you haven't already, it's not too late to take advantage of Stylicity, the official retail program for World MasterCard Fashion Week. A sweet line-up of local retailers, spas and restaurants in Toronto is currently offering special deals, offers, and experiences to MasterCard cardholders both in stores and online. Check out the full list of retailers participating in Stylicity here. Like we needed another excuse to shop...

Good luck!

A $100 Spring Giveaway from Tristan

 

Don't worry little one, I'll take your leash off when we get home. Ruff, ruff. Photo courtesy Tristan. 

I have a soft spot for cute accessories - and when I say 'soft spot', I'm likening this to walking into an animal shelter, and feeling the compulsion to take every potential adoptee home. When I see a cute clutch, belt, bracelet or pair of shoes (the shoes always get me), I have a really tough time saying no to their charming jewels and pointy little toes. And so it was with mixed emotions that I recently discovered Tristan has a new online store, knowing that I probably shouldn't get involved in another philanthropic (okay fine, completely self-serving) effort. In highschool, the store was my go-to for back-to-school; We would make the yearly pilgrimage from Kitchener to Toronto and stock up on pretty classics from Tristan. I recall a navy wool jumper, a crisp white shirt and a loden green pleated mini that I loved and which appeased my mom's European sensibilities. Win, win. The Tristan of today is still stocked with classics but they've definitely amped up their accessories department of late. I'm especially in love with the clutches, the silver accessories and the shoes. Oh, and I love that Tristan is Canadian, of course.

Now, the great news for you: Tristan is giving away a $100 Gift Card to one lucky winner to shop the irresistible Spring collection! Simply leave a comment below to win it, telling me what you'd buy from Tristan with your $100. Contest closes this Thursday at 5 pm.  I'll announce the winner on Friday morning! Good luck, y'all.
