Chic 'n Cheap Living Contest: $100 Shopbop gift card and DVF dresses

My closet is full of dresses - it's just a staple wardrobe item for me (that and I love the ease of a single piece of clothing!)  Dresses are amazingly versatile as well.  Tibi dresses, like this one, are long and luxurious statement pieces.

But DVF dresses, like this Savannah long sleeve dress make such a fun statement by using a great print (imagine wearing it day to night!)

If comfort and warmth are key, sweater dresses are chic and sensible options.

I've partnered with Shopbop to give away a $100 gift card so you can get the dress (or anything else) that works with your holiday wardrobe.  Check out the designer clothing sale as well at Shopbop

Chic 'n Cheap Living Contest: Jimmy Choo for H&M crystal mesh bracelet/cuff

Who loves sparkly accessories?  Well I hope that it's you my dear because I've decided to give away a sold-out Jimmy Choo for H&M jeweled, mesh bracelet/cuff!
I was lucky enough to live by a few H&Ms when we were in London so I got a couple of things from this collection. I totally forgot I had this bracelet (I have one already) and thought it should make its way to one of you awesome readers.  It's fun, a little edgy, and a great way to dress up either an LBD or a white t-shirt and jeans.

My blog birthday is also coming up next week so all the more reason to celebrate!

A picture is indeed worth a thousand words.

It was just so lovely and fun.
