It’s that time again!
We had such a blast last time partnering with Chickdowntown to do a giveaway, well….we’re doing one again!
This time around, what’s up for grabs is a coveted Tolani Scarf. Super-soft and lightweight, these scarves are surprisingly warm and transition your summer wardrobe to Fall with ease. Originally retailing for $85.
We are giving away ONE SCARF and the winner gets to use which color/pattern they want from the two choices above.

Chickdowntown.com has everything from vintage clothing to fabulous shoes – and a huge selection of designer brands (both from up-and-comers like BB Dakota and Wildfox Couture to established names like Balmain, Rag & Bone, L.A.M.B., and Charlotte Ronson. Even if the high-end stuff isn’t for you, they carry many chic steals: cool and contemporary pieces that are less than $70…so you don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous. I’m currently gaga over the Jules Smith Vampire Teeth Necklace, inspired by the Twilight series, and the Alice + Olivia White Jewel Face Tee (pictured at left).

It’s time yet again for another giveaway! I’m not quite at my 200th post yet, but I’ve been offered the opportunity to do my first-ever collaborative giveaway…
The folks at ChickDowntown.com have teamed up with Chic Steals to offer readers this fabulous Wildfox Couture Dream of Ice Cream T-shirt! (pictured above; retail value=$64.00)
There’s nothing that embodies summer and those hot, lazy days more than a cold treat – and this sweet little tee is both chic and comfy…perfect for the never-ending heat wave we’re going through now. The bold graphic is great – sort of tongue-in-cheek – it brings me back to being a kid again and dreaming of nothing but summer and yummy indulgences.
Chickdowntown.com has everything from vintage clothing to fabulous shoes – and a huge selection of designer brands (both from up-and-comers like BB Dakota and Wildfox Couture to established names like Balmain, Rag & Bone, L.A.M.B., and Charlotte Ronson. Even if the high-end stuff isn’t for you, they carry many chic steals: cool and contemporary pieces that are less than $70…so you don’t have to break the bank to look fabulous. I especially love their selection of Sky Dresses, a line favorited by celebs such as Jessica Simpson and Audrina Patridge. (One of my faves is the Mint Malvina Tube Dress ($178) [at left]. Add the Mystique Natural Beaded Thong Sandals ($101), an arm loaded up with gold bangles and some oversize sunnies – and you’re good to go to anything from a lunch date to a night on the town.)
How to enter the giveaway?
Visit Chickdowntown.com and check out their fabulous line up of designer goods. Then leave a comment on this post below letting me know:
1. What item/s from Chickdowntown you would wear with the Dream of Ice Cream tee…would you pair it with some distressed shorts? Gladiator sandals? A blazer, a cute little skirt?
2. What do you think of Chickdowntown’s Sky Dresses or Mystique Sandals? Do you have a fave? Do they not appeal? Do you want to see more colors, more styles? Speak your mind!
Comments that do not include BOTH pieces of information will not be counted.
The entry period runs from now until August 2, 12:00 PM PST. After that, commenting will be closed and winner will be chosen from valid comments by Random.org.
Contest is open to U.S. residents ONLY.
