Come Together With Macy’s {A Giveaway!}

October 10, 2009 by Erika  
Filed under Fashion & Style, Featured, Giveaways

cometogether

Did you know that it is estimated that 1 in 10 households in America goes hungry or is threatened by the possibility of hunger? (via Oakland Institute)  This is an unacceptable statistic and one that we can fight together to change.  We need to help fund this effort, but we also need to help raise awareness.  Seriously, 1 in 10 homes?  Have you ever considered that you may have come across someone in your every day life that doesn’t have enough to eat?

Macy’s has launched COME TOGETHER, an innovative awareness and fundraising campaign that aims to feed 10 million people suffering from hunger. This campaign invites the public to host special dinners in their homes and asks their guests to pledge a donation to Feeding America.  The best part is that for every dollar raised, Macy’s will match it in kind, until the goal of 10 million meals is reached! 

Ready to get involved?!  Good!  There are three different ways to participate, and all of them help!

1)  Hostess with the Mostess! Host a party for your family and friends – think of it as a dinner party for a good cause!  You pick how formal or laid-back you want it to be – the point is just to “come together” for a good cause!  Instead of bring a gift for the host, suggest that your guests make a donation to Feeding America.  Plus, you can manage all of your details online!

2)  Give a little bit! You can donate $1 at any Macy’s register, and your dollar will provide dinner for SEVEN people.  I can’t think of many better uses for a dollar, can you?

3)  Shop ’til you drop!  On October 17th, shop your little heart out because you will get special in-store savings during Macy’s national Shop For A Cause day.  A portion of the $5 in-store ticket sales will benefit Feeding America.

To celebrate this fantastic initiative, Macy’s has offered to giveaway two $25 gift cards to two very lucky Chic Shopper Chick readers!  To enter, leave a comment below.  To score an extra entry, tweet this by clicking the button at the top of this page! Good luck!

This contest ends on October 18, 2009 at 11:59pm CST.  US entries only.  Winners will be chosen via random.org.

Crazy About Harry {A Giveaway!}

October 8, 2009 by Erika  
Filed under Entertainment, Featured, Giveaways

I’m not sure how it works in other cities across the United States and other parts of the world, but here in New Orleans we feel a fierce loyalty to our city.  That loyalty, by all means, extends to well-respected local individuals who have found considerable amounts of success in larger markets.  That’s basically a lot of fancy words to say that we adore the celebrities that were born in our city (and even the ones who have adopted us, like Brad Pitt).  We like to claim them all, but we are especially proud of the musicians that are from our city.  What can I say; we’ve got a thing for talent!

Everyone here has a story about how they know a local celebrity.  They sat on a plane next to Robin Roberts, or shopped alongside of Jamie-Lynn Spears in Walmart.  (Please, she counts, ok?)  My story is that my 3rd grade teacher was Harry Connick Jr.’s godmother.  Heck, my best friend Emily from elementary school even dated her son and got to meet him on several occasions, if my 3rd grade memory serves me correctly.

See, the thing is…I don’t really get that excited about Ms. Spears in Walmart, but I’m pretty crazy about Harry.  See how I did that, there?  The whole calling him by his first name thing?  Yeah, that’s how I roll.  I’m sure it wouldn’t creep him out at ALL.

I love him in movies and on TV, but my favorite thing that he does, by far, is make music.  Flat-out incredibly amazing music, if it’s even possible to use that many descriptive thingies in a sentence.

Told ya I was crazy about the guy…I mean, ahem, his music.

Harry (more first name basisness) has just released his newest album, Your Songs, which is a) one of the best collections of familiar songs that I’ve heard in a while and b) really, really good.  I just caught a segment of him on the local news, and he seemed to think this was his 24th album to be released.  TWENTY-FOURTH, PEOPLE.  How many other modern musicians are this prolific?  Not only does the guy sing the most amazing Christmas music that you’ve ever heard (sorry, Bing, it’s nothing personal) but with this album he proves that he sings the classics just as well!

Picture 7Anyone from New Orleans will immediately hear the influence of the city on the CD, even in these very classic songs.  My favorite track on Your Songs is “Your Song” coincidentally, enough – though “And I Love Her”, “And The Way You Look Tonight” also make me swoon.  Aw heck, the entire album makes me swoon.

If you’re not crazy about Harry, you should be!  Thanks to One 2 One Network I had the opportunity to get a first listen of this album, and now you can too!  One lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader will win a copy of his new album, Your Songs.  To be entered to win, leave a comment below letting me know why you are or want to be crazy about Harry!  You may also tweet about this contest for an additional entry (by clicking the little button at the top of this page!)

PS – Already crazy about Harry?  Then go check out some of the behind the scenes stuff that led up to making this album!

Contest ends October 15th, 2009 at 11:59 pm CST.  Winner will be chosen at random and notified via email.

Tea Tree Skin Care from The Body Shop {Giveaway CLOSED}

August 12, 2009 by Erika  
Filed under Beauty, Featured, Giveaways, Skincare

I have been shopping at The Body Shop for over 10 years now — my nose won’t let my body pass one of those awesome stores by without going in!  I discovered the Body Shop back when I was in high school when I began using their tea tree products that help prevent and control breakouts and blemishes. I used the line for years, so I was really excited to hear that they had revamped their their Tea Tree line – reformulating some existing products and adding new ones to create an entire skin care regime.

All of the products are now paraben & phthalate free – which is great news for anyone trying to be a bit more “green”.  (And a smart move, in my humble opinion!)  The line now includes products to prevent blemishes and breakouts, treat existing blemishes, and control oil and shine.  The products are formulated to not be too harsh or to overdry your skin, while still being effective.

$75 off of $100 at Old Navy {Giveaway CLOSED}

Filed under Fashion & Style, Giveaways, Shopping

It is no secret that I love to shop (see name of site, above).  I’ve gushed multiple times about my love of Old Navy for great deals, and stylish options for a fashionista on a budget.  I have an Old Navy within a mile of my house, and it has always been one of my favorite places to go for wardrobe staples and a quick wardrobe fix.  I’m a huge fan of their sweetheart jean (and we all know about my love for denim) and sundresses.

Old Navy reached out to me this week with an offer I couldn’t refuse.  They want to offer 10 of my fabulous readers the chance to win a coupon for $75 off of $100 purchase.  Um, that’s $100 worth of clothing for only $25!!!  (I know you can probably do the math, but I’m just SO excited – and a wee bit jealous that I can’t win myself!)

Old Navy already has fantastic deals, so this will really help you to stretch your budget a long way and help you to get a huge jump on that back-to-school shopping!  Don’t forget, I have TEN of them to give away!  Speaking of fantastic deals here is a sneak peek at the Item of the Week — a Long Sleeve Blousy V-Neck tee for just $8!!!

Diane Birch’s Debut Album – “Bible Belt” {Giveaway CLOSED}

June 5, 2009 by Erika  
Filed under Giveaways

Back in March while I was at SXSW I was invited to a private luncheon and concert with hot new artist Diane Birch.  The luncheon invite was courtesy of One2One Network and was organized my my good friends Arianne and Lindsay.  I had been noticing the buzz around Diane build for several weeks, and I was really excited to get the chance to hear her perform when she was still in the early stages of her career.  You know, it’s a total “I can say I heard her way back when…” kinda moment.  My expectations of the experience were FAR exceeded.  I was actually blown away, and perhaps even the teensiest bit jealous that any one person can be blessed with so much talent.  Her soulful voice took me back to a time period that I’m too young to have lived in — and I loved every second of it.  Oh, and did I mention her acapella backup singers – no mics, just one amazingly full sound.

Diane Burch Erika Lehmann

Did I mention I was impressed?  Cause um, yeah, I was.

Ok, so her debut “Bible Belt” just dropped on Tuesday, and it’s fantastic.  Seriously, I have been jamming out to it for over a month (yes, I’m special and had an copy of it before it dropped – don’t hate me too much) and I can’t get enough.  I would even venture to place her as one of my new favorite artists – actually that’s quite a big deal for me to say because I don’t take my love affair with music lightly.  My favorite tracks from her CD include “Fools”, “Nothing But A Miracle”, “Rewind”, and “Mirror Mirror”.  I truly had a hard time picking just a few, though, because I love the entire CD – I just leave it on repeat.  It seems that I’m not the only one who is smitten with Diane’s sound – “Bible Belt” was in the Top 10 on iTunes on the day it was released!  Clearly she is already a success, and trust me, her star is not going to stop shining anytime soon.

Wanna experience this amazing new artist for yourself?  S-Curve Records and Diane Birch are working together to present Discover & Donate. The way it works is simple — spend some time in the “Bible Belt” by purchasing Diane’s soulful sound and then choose one of six charities to receive a $1 donation from your purchase.  The charities are all very worthy – I found it hard to choose just one, but in the end I chose my cause to be March Of Dimes – so if you buy Diane’s album through the link below, $1 of your purchase will be donated to March of Dimes.  Feel free to grab the widget for yourself, and share it with others as well – because whomever raises the most money for charity through their widget by June 23, 2009, wins a free concert in their hometown!  The opportunity to raise money for a worthy charity, to support an artist trying to do something good with her success, and to win a hometown concert are all on the table – so start sharing this great opportunity!

Win It!  Would you like to win a copy of Bible Belt? Thanks to One2One Network I have a copy to giveaway to one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader.  To enter, visit Diane’s Discover & Donate page, and tell me something you learned about this incredible new artist that I didn’t mention above.  Bonus entries available if you choose your own widget and display it on your blog or site.  If you do so, please leave me an additional comment letting me know.  This contest is open to the US only, and will end on June 13, 2009.  Good luck!

Lands End – Home of the Perfect Swimsuit {Giveaway CLOSED}

May 23, 2009 by Erika  
Filed under Giveaways

Land's End SwimsuitIf you are like me, and practically most other women out there, the summer heat means sundresses, sandals, and suntans, but it also means those other dreaded “s” words — “swimsuit shopping”.  I’ve written about the quest for the perfect swimsuit many times on my site because each year, while I love the idea of finding that perfect swimsuit, I always seem to fall short.  Land’s End approached me this year with the offer to try out one of their new swimsuits and the offer to giveaway a gift card to one of my readers.  I was excited because I still hadn’t found my suit for this summer, and if you’ve read some of my previous posts, you know I’ve recently lost a good bit of weight, so I was really excited to ditch last summer’s tankini and slip into a bikini.

Now, let me explain my issue with bikinis.  It’s not my tummy.  I actually feel that a one-piece accentuates my little pooch more than a bikini does.  However, I’m still curvy.  So um, that said, I need something that a lot of bikinis don’t offer — coverage and support.  Yes people, I need a little more material in places where others might not.  Not because I’m trying to hide anything, but I am just not the itsy bitsy bikini type.  When Land’s End offered me the chance to try out one of their suits, I noticed that most of their suits offer fuller coverage, especially on the backside.  If I’m being honest, my initial thought was “uh-oh, I’m going to look like I’m wearing a mommy bathing suit.”  You know the ones I’m talking about, right?  The GIANT swimsuits that may as well be a one piece because of all of the coverage?  To me it’s a fate worse than mom jeans.  If I’m really being honest?  I’ve never ordered a swimsuit online, and I NEVER like the picture-101first swimsuit I try on. I have to go through at least 20 before I even find one I “kinda” like.

I put my skepticism aside and asked for this two-piece Capri swimsuit in white.  Lucky for me they were out of the white in my size, because they sent me the Island Leaf print instead.  I say lucky because it turns out that it looked even better than I think the white would have looked, and I loved it.  Ok, so when I put it on I was literally floored.  I never like the first swimsuit I put on.  Heck, I don’t even usually like the ones I like, if that makes sense.  I pulled this swimsuit on an turned to look in the mirror and, well, to be honest…?  I did a little dance.  I love it.  I love it so much, that I actually went ahead and ordered the same swimsuit in white, so I’ll have two cut like this.  I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the swimsuit as well, not sure how to fully describe it, but it’s very well made, the material and hardware are clearly higher-end in my opinion, and it’s fully lined as well.  Like I said, I am very impressed with the excellent fit and cut of the suit, and just frankly that a bathing suit ordered from a catalog can be such a great and flattering fit right out of the bag.  I was so impressed that I contemplated taking a picture of myself or doing a video with me in the bathing suit, but then I suddenly regained my sanity and decided against it.  :)

Flowers For Mom, Money For Charity {Giveaway CLOSED}

Giveaway Closed!  Congrats to our winner, Alyssa, of Kingdom First Mom!

Around Valentine’s Day we have partnered up with KaBloom to bring you a fantastic giveaway and we have done it again for Mother’s Day!  Before we do, I want to let you know that from now through Mother’s Day, for every online purchase ordered via Kabloom.com, $5 will be donated to Children’s Hospital Boston.  Most of us love to give our mom’sa bouquet of flowers to show her how much we care on Mother’s Day, right?  Well, when you order through Kabloom you’re also giving back by helping to support one of the largest pediatric medical centers in the United States.  Children’s Hospital Boston provides highly specialized care to their young patients while assuring the continuation of ground-breaking research to help change children’s lives.

Have you ever ordered flowers from online before?  Most florists will ship them overnight without water, so when they arrive they look sad and well, pretty darn thirsty.  (Which is how I imagine I’d be in a box with no water for hours on end!)  KaBloom does something different – using their Moses Miracle technology your flowers arrive with their own sealed water supply, so they look as radiant and fresh as the moment they were picked!  If you’re going to spend money on flowers, you expect them to look fantastic, right?  KaBloom makes sure they do!

I’m a white or pink roses kinda gal, but in the spring nothing makes me swoon more than a bouquet of Tulips.  Looking around the KaBloom website just makes me want to fill my house with fresh flowers — there is something invigorating by always having them around, don’t you think?  KaBloom has graciously offered one lucky Chic Shopper Chick reader the opportunity to win a bouquet of flowers from their site, delivered in time for Mother’s Day!  Check out the rules below!

Win It!! To be entered to win a bouquet of flowers of your choice from KaBloom, visit their website and come back here and leave a comment sharing which arrangement you would choose.  After your initial comment, every other (pertinent) comment left on this site on other posts from now through May 5th will count as an extra entry each.  You don’t need to come back to this post and tell me you commented on another post, I can stalk track you via your email/IP address.   As usual, extra entries are also available for blogging this contest with a link back here, stumbling Chic Shopper Chick (leave your stumble name), subscribing to my site, listening to the Feel Good Fashion radio show on Friday nights at 9pm EST/8pm CST, or following me on Twitter.  That’s a ton of ways to win, so good luck!

US  entries only, winner will be chosen via random.org at the end of the contest. Winners are posted here, please leave a valid email address or blog address if you’d like to be contacted should you win. Winner has 72 hours to claim their prize. This contest ends at 5:00 pm CST on May 5th, 2009.
