Contests and Giveaways, New York Fashion Week - Gossip
By Andrea Thatcher on February 11th, 2008
As the memory of New York Fashion Week fades, what is left behind? SWAG! We hounded PR reps, dashed into empty front row seats (once the PRs okayed the move, natch) and cabbed it clear across the city for beauty events just so we could bring you the best freebies fashion week had to offer. And now we are giving it to you, our diligent readers.
Keep reading for details on what’s in the bag (okay, it’s actually going to be a box) and how to win.

Contests and Giveaways
By Andrea Thatcher on February 7th, 2008
Some people may think Valentine’s Day is all about love, and maybe they’re right. But we think it’s all about an excuse for pink accessories. The one accessory everyone in the tents of Bryant Park can’t put down? Their PDAs, phones and various text-message devices. So we wanted to combine the best of fashion and technology and offer it to you, our readers.
The pink Palm Centro lets you text, IM, access email and the Web, and take photos and video. We can’t think of a better way to stay on top of the latest trends – on ShinyStyle of course – and report your finds to friends! Keep reading for how to enter.

Congratulations to readers Kelsey, Andrea, and Natalie who were chosen at random to win ShinyStyle’s 10 Outfits for 10 Occasions Contest! We’re talking old school random, we drew names out of a bag. But coincidentally both Kelsey and Andrea had their wardrobe dilemma questions chosen to be answered during the contest as well. Check out Kesley’s anniversary outfit and Andrea’s budget New Year’s Eve outfit. Kesley won a dress from Chloe & Reese, Andrea won a The Sak Dakota Hobo, seen at left, and Natalie won a gift certificate to Bruno Jamais.
Be on the lookout for another contest during New York Fashion Week in February!

Reader Rachael Cash bemoans her long legs and lean frame that make it difficult to dress for her high school’s halls. Oh Rachael, you’ll grow into it, don’t worry. But until then, here’s an outfit that should fit your school’s dress code, won’t leave your feet hurting at the end of the day, and is still a bit fashion forward with items most of your Ohio schoolmates likely won’t have but won’t find too weird. We know you lust after European fashion, so we tried to pick items with that sort of sensibility that will still fit your high schooler’s budget.
We’ve extended the window to allow you to enter our 10 Outfits for 10 Occasions Contest and win a handbag from The Sak, a Chloe & Reese dress, or a Bruno Jamais gift certificate through the end of this week. Answers to your wardrobe questions will continue to be unveiled through the New Year when a winner will be chosen.
Continue reading for the details on Rachael’s outfit.

Reader Barbara wrote in to our 10 Outfits for 10 Occasions contest for advice to a common problem. She loves her strappy heels, especially when dressing up for New Year’s Eve, but feels uncomfortable when she’s taller than her boyfriend. Luckily there is no shortage of fancy flats out there this holiday season. So, while we concentrate on a Miu Miu pair as part of our outfit, we’ll also give you options at a few different price points. Barbara mentioned sequined cocktail dresses, so we chose this Stenay sequin dress from Nordstrom for $228 to start off this outfit.

Adyna entered our 10 Outfits for 10 Occasions contest so now not only is she in the running for a Chloe & Reese dress, a handbag from The Sak, or a dinner at Bruno Jamais, but she gets her what to wear question answered as well. Adyna picked up some summer dresses she was hoping to convert to winter wear with a satin shrug that just covered the shoulders. She has a leopard print Bebe maxi dress, but we thought we’d show you the Roberto Cavalli for H&M leopard maxi dress since we know so many of you have them. Well, you were right Adyna, it is nearly impossible to find a black satin shrug. While we found one by DKNY at our local Marshalls, it was nowhere online and we wanted to show you something we knew you could get. So we found this chiffon shrug at David’s Bridal – one of our secrets for non-bridal formalwear. Keep reading for more details on this outfit!

From now until November 5, vote for the celebrity you think should get the recognition she deserves! Vogue is holding its first-ever Best-Dressed Sweepstakes with 20 celebrities to choose from.

The celebrities in the running are Sofia Coppola, Maria Sharapova, Nicole Kidman, Sienna Miller, Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Aerin Lauder, Renée Zellweger, Chloë Sevigny, Natalia Vodianova, Sarah Jessica Parker, Liya Kebede, Lauren Davis, Kate Moss, Miuccia Prada, Christy Turlington, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jemima Khan, Jennifer Connelly, and Uma Thurman. I’m surprised, though, that a few celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner didn’t make the cut. What do you think?

As Andrea wrote back in September, V Magazine is holding V A Model search to find the next supermodel-to-be to star in the fashion spread of an upcoming issue. But, if you don’t qualify or don’t wish to enter, you can still participate by voting for the girl you think should win. Only about 263 women have entered so far, which is much better chances than the thousands who try out for “America’s Next Top Model.” And The V A Model! Users Choice winner will be the star of her own vmagazine.com fashion story, so even if the judges don’t pick your favorite girl, you can still get her seen. It didn’t take long to look through all of the entries–my two favorites are Chekesha Johnson (left) and Carla Zuniga (right). Who do you like best?

Wanna be on top? (Na-na na na na-na). Sorry, we couldn’t resist. If the premiere of America’s Next Top Model last night had you thinking “I could do that!” then here’s your chance. Supreme Management and V Magazine are inviting girls over 13 and 5’7″ (God help those girls that are under 13 and 5’7″!) to upload their photos to the contest site and try their luck and looks at a three year modelling contract among other prizes. If you’re more of a voyeur, you can vote for your favorite here. It’s much more fulfilling than screaming at Tyra and Ms. J–who we saw in Bryant Park, donchaknow.

Check out the new fall fashions from MARC by Marc Jacobs on NeimanMarcus.com and you can enter to win a $1,500 shopping spree. Don’t be fooled, no purchase is necessary, click on the fine print at the bottom of the page to enter the contest. Also check out their exclusive video. It’s basically a moving catalog with a few attempts at arty touches, but it’s definitely worth while to see how a garment – like the multi-print jersey dress above, $328 - moves and looks “in person” rather than just a still photograph.
