Win It: A Vawk & Zara Giveaway from eBay

  

Though my life is always busy (whose life isn't?), things have been particularly frenzied this past month with my new gig as ambassador for eBay.ca. Between radio interviews and tv appearances on shows like CH Morning Live (see the segment here) and The Morning Show on Global, I've been criss-crossing southwestern Ontario talking about new mom style and dishing about the new, improved eBay.ca.

I'll admit that aside from actual 'work', online shopping has taken up a fair bit of my time of late (bites lip, looks mildly apologetic). I used to think that eBay was an auction house, a place where you went to bid and wait and bid again and, really, it all just seemed a little complicated to me. But here's the thing. eBay has evolved, big time, and you can now go online and shop retailers and sellers around the globe and buy right away. How's that for instant gratification?

It's super easy, highly worthwhile, and I have a new Club Monaco dress, cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez coat and J.Crew sweater to prove it. #score. Apparently I'll have to also start hawking some of my things on eBay to fund my new habit...

Okay, giveaway time: My new friends at eBay have generously offered up a VAWK by Sunny Fong manta capelet and a stunning pair of gold brocade Zara pants (size small) exclusively to RLR readers.

Here's how to win this perfect party outfit, just in time for the start of holiday season:

1) Leave a comment below telling me why you want to win this look.

2) Follow @eBayCanada on Twitter.

3) For a bonus entry, tweet the following '@realliferunway & @eBayCanada are giving away a perfect party outfit and I want to #win! http://bit.ly/1c5cWdp'

3) Contest closes next Thursday, Oct 17th at 5 pm. I'll announce the winner Fri morning!

Good luck and happy shopping on eBay. It's dangerous, I'm warning you (see below for the cute looks I picked up for The Morning Show segment)

Jennifer Lawrence Covers Harper's Bazaar UK

Seriously, this girl is stunning. Perfect skin, grounded attitude, mad skills with the bow & arrow. I adore her, and I adore this femme fatale November '13 cover and feature for Harper's Bazaar UK. That is all. Oh wait, except for this:

 

Top It Off

Take a look at your winter coat situation and let's be honest here. Is last year's topper hanging on by a thread? Are you finally ready to commit to something a little better? The current sale at Banana Republic (which ends tonight, btw) gives you 40% off your purchase. Might I suggest one of these 5 lovely toppers? The cold weather is coming so if you order today, it will arrive at your doorstep - not a torn lining, worn-out shoulder or pilled pocket in sight, just in time for Thanksgiving.

My poor darling 5 year-old is home sick (still). Online shopping is my mini break right now. She likes to do it with me, which probably explains why so many pink items are currently on order. Sigh...

Enter code BRGOLD40 at the check-out. Is it bad that I know that by heart?

Joe Fresh to Launch Online Shop

This is good. This is exciting. Because while we non-Torontonians/Vancouverites/Montrealers can already shop our local Joe Fresh stores (and shop them, we do) we rarely ever get the really good stuff - the fresh off the runway collections, the super trendy Joe Fresh pieces so prevalent in the big city stores. Thanks for spreading the love Mr. Mimran. And if you have yet to see the full array of what Joe Fresh designers dream up, just you wait...
