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)

WIN a 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target Mini Satchel

I'll admit it - I lucked out, big time. I happened to be at a Muskoka wedding over the weekend and en route home, what should we pass but the Orillia Target. I'm not going to pretend that this was purely accidental. I mean, I've been dying to get my hands on the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection since it was announced months ago and so yes, the Orillia Target was already programmed into my GPS. And I'm not going to pretend that I didn't know that I had way better odds of scoring anything Lim in Orillia than in Toronto. And so, as I gleefully heaped clothes and bags into my cart (whee!!!), my husband settled into a bench while other shoppers looked on bemusedly (Lim? Who's Lim?), I just knew that I HAD to share my luck. I picked up 1 mini satchel for me AND 1 for you, my dear RLR friends!

Missed all the Lim-sanity yesterday? Here's how to win this sold-out 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target satchel:

1) Leave a comment below telling me why you want (need, have to have) this bag.

2) For a bonus entry, follow @realliferunway on Twitter and tweet the following: "@realliferunway is giving away a @31philliplim x @targetcanada satchel and I want to #win! http://bit.ly/1diA0pd"

3) Contest closes at noon this Wednesday, September 18th. I will draw and announce the winner Thursday am.

4) Contest is open to residents of Canada only.

5) Good luck! xoxo

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.
