CLOSED: Win £80 to spend at Asos to celebrate Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day everyone! I hope everyone got the chance to hug a tree, or frolic through a field of wild flowers. I opted for a classic; singing in the hills, because as we all know, they are full of music! Clichés aside, Earth Day is a good opportunity to reflect on our ways as consumers and judge our environmental impact on the world. Business speak aside it means I vow, yet again, to never buy anything from the high street again and to travel only by bicycle. However such goals can be impractical and simply improbable.

Instead I thought I'd give you the opportunity to indulge, guilt-free, in some of my favourite ethical and eco-friendly picks from Asos! Asos? Surely not, they are not a brand known for their ethical ways. Think again kind reader, for indeed it may be small and hard to find but Asos devote a small directory to ethical products for sale on their website, it's called the Green Room. There you will find many splendours, and because I love you all so much I'm offering an £80 gift voucher to one lucky person to spend at Asos (true, you could spend it on anything, not just the Green Room but it is Earth Day after all). This wouldn't be possible on my own, I am but a student, this is all thanks to Appliances Online who kindly offered me this voucher to give away. (They also have a blog that features no Appliances, rather adorable home décor inspiration and a bunch of cute DIY's, but don't go there, it's my secret source... shhh!)

How to enter:
Just leave a comment below, letting me know if you've done anything for Earth Day! (Also make sure I can contact you somehow.)
That's it! (Really, really). Anyone can enter but the voucher is in pounds and will need to be spent on the UK Asos website (they ship overseas, don't worry). No need to follow or tweet about it, just leave a comment. Or course, if you really wanted to you could follow me and tell your friends, but that's up to you :)
Giveaway ends on the 6th of May at Midday London time.
Good Luck!

And the winner is...

Congratulations Kailey, I will email you shortly :)
Thank you to everyone who entered!

Win a $50 gift card from Go Chic or Go Home! - CLOSED

Today is your lucky day, my wonderful readers, because I have a giveaway brought to you by Go Chic or Go Home! Go Chic or Go Home is an amazing photo-sharing community that offers everything you need to make the most of your daily wardrobe and style: your closet, inspiration, friends, and shopping. You can upload photos of your own clothing items to create a virtual closet à la Cher in Clueless, or you can upload outfit photos and browse the outfits of other members. You can also shop and create wishlists of clothes you want to buy, or browse the list of featured retailers to find out who's having a sale.

Go Chic or Go Home is by far my favorite outfit-sharing community. While you'll find a lot of innovative style at GCOGH, you'll also find normal people wearing normal clothes in pretty and accessible ways. Unlike sites like Lookbook, where most of the styles are odd, unattainable, or simply unwearable for everyday life, I appreciate that GCOGH provides me with genuine inspiration through people who look and dress like me.

The winner of this giveaway will receive a $50 gift card to any of the retailers featured in the Go Chic or Go Home Shop section.  This includes Gap, J.Crew, ASOS, and more!

To sign up for the giveaway all you have to do is:

• Become a member of Go Chic or Go Home in 2 easy steps: 1) Request an invite, and 2) Use your invite link to sign up on the website.
• Leave a comment on this blog post about the Go Chic or Go Home community. What do you think about it?

Existing members are more than welcome to enter the giveaway, too!  Simply log into Go Chic or Go Home so that your account is active during the giveaway period. And don't worry, this giveaway is open to international readers! The gift card will be issued in a denomination specified by the retailer.

This giveaway will run through the end of the day Tuesday, May 1st, and I'll announce the winner on Wednesday the 2nd! If you don't have a blog to link to in your comment, just leave an email address that I can use to contact you if you're the winner.

UPDATE: The winner of the giveaway is...

...Adele! Congrats, Adele! I'll be getting in touch with you soon.

CLOSED: Giveaway! (Prints and photoshop curves)

I've decided to hold a little giveaway, just to say 'thank you for reading my blog'. That and a little exercise in figuring out what I'll be able to sell on etsy. I've thought long and hard about the prizes, so I hope you like them.

PRIZES:

Two 9"x6" prints of any of my photos

Chose any two of my photos, posted either on this blog or on any other website on which I have posted (click the links tab to find more). Note, not all photos on my tumblr are by me, only the ones that are mine can be chosen.

OR

Three 7.5"x5" prints of any of my photos

Chose any three of my photos, posted either on this blog or on any other website on which I have posted (click the links tab to find more). Note, not all photos on my tumblr are by me, only the ones that are mine can be chosen.

OR

Two of the following photoshop curves

Photoshop curves can be applied to photos to change their appearance. Curves can be applied with one click of a button and easily adjust to suit your tastes. To find out more google 'photoshop curves'.

How to enter:

1. Follow this blog
2. Leave a comment letting me know:
1. Which of the prizes you'd like best
2. If I were selling any of the above three things on etsy, would you buy them?
3. Leave a name and email address so that I can contact you if you win.
3. Refer a friend. If they follow steps 1 and 2 above and mention in their comment that you referred them, then as well as them entering, you get an extra entry too.

At the end I'll put all the names in a hat and draw a single winner. If there are more than 100 entries (which I doubt), then I'll draw two names.

The giveaway closes on Wednesday the 14th of December (at 18:00 GMT)

Outfit posts will resume shortly, I've got a few lined up already but I've been waiting until after I posted this. So, have fun and comment away :)

In Love

Dear friends,

I've said it before, rompers/ playsuits, always feature heavily in my wardrobe, especially as we head into the warmer months.

I picked up this floral number from In Love With Fashion, who I first stumbled across in Topshop, whilst travelling through the UK.

Anything with pockets is generally a winner for me, and I'm particularly smitten for this lovely floral print.

I'm wearing:
Floral romper, via In Love With Fashion
Belt, Vietnam Markets
Denim Shirt, Pimkie
Wedge heels, Airlie Beach

Luv,
Friend in Fashion

P.S. Don't miss out on your chance to win your own 'Alexa' leather skirt. Giveaway closes Wednesday!
