coach supports bloggers & a giveaway

I am constantly interested in the way that the impact of blogs grows in the fashion world.

A continuous theme throughout my observations about blogging and fashion is studying the way that bloggers have changed the way that the general fashion-loving public has access to high fashion. Fashion bloggers are being recognized as cyber-stylists who make picks and critique designs just like the highest paid editors and fashion industry leaders do.

Coach is featuring a project on their website called Blog-A-Day where they feature a different fashion and style blog each day. Blogs appreciate being recognized by designers and designers are starting to appreciate being recognized by blogs!

Shopaholics Daily, which is run by my blogger friends Aly and Kori, has been selected to be featured in Coach's Blog-A-Day and in conjunction is hosting a Giveaway for a free Coach Audrey bag in purple (valued at $598).

lna zipper leggings

{LnA Zipper Leggings}

I have been addicted to LnA t-shirts since I first discovered them about a year ago. The deep V-necks are the perfect fabric and fit and I buy them everytime I see them on sale! They might seem a little expensive for tees, but you can usually find them on Bluefly.com for a seriously discounted price...

My LnA pick for this fall are the adorable zipper leggings. The full-length zipper leggings are the perfect 2009 update to the leggings that we have been seeing for the last few years. Simple black capri leggings are out (although you will catch me in them on the weekends!) and full-length in unique fabrics and styles are in. I would pick a dark color and pair it with a slouchy sweater and ankle booties.

My friend Julia over at Fashion Pulse Daily is currently hosting a Giveaway for a pair of LnA zipper leggings! So if you love them as much as I do, you might as well enter to try to snag yourself a free pair...

fingerless gloves giveaway

I love fingerless gloves!

I discovered my attraction to them a few years ago. Something about them is just a little bit sexy and a little bit cozy. I had an exact idea in my head about what I wanted, but I couldn't find them available to buy anywhere. So I actually knit myself a pair of long cabled fingerless gloves that went past my elbows. I wore them everywhere and got lots of comments on them. I am so excited to see that the trend has caught on and now they are available to buy everywhere!
I am currently hosting a giveaway on Splendicity with Curations on HSN.com for a reader to win a fabulous winter set that includes a matching pair of fingerless gloves, a scarf, and an adorable headband. I love all three pieces and want them for myself! You can enter the giveaway by leaving a comment on my article on Splendicity. Here is the link:
