Time for A Giveaway (and yes, it's JCrew) !

Dear readers, you don't talk much these days and I love to hear from you. So I thought that a giveaway would shake you up a little bit and make you talk, especially those of you who haven't talked in a while (if you are still there). I don't have anything special to celebrate (the blog first anniversary will be next month and I couldn't wait that long) but I feel like a giveaway is overdue in sign of appreciation from me to you for being a follower and reading my blog.

I know that I had announced a giveaway before and dropped it but at that particular time there were so many bloggers giving away fabulous jewelry that it was getting a little bit competitive out there. And because I didn't receive any gift from Mickey that I could offer to you in my turn, I waited to find the perfect prize (something that wouldn't cost much but that you would possibly love).

And I think that I have finally found it! I will give you some clues:

1. It's Jcrew
2. It's inexpensive
3. It's reusable
4. It's coveted

No, it isn't one of the new recyclable shopping bags, like the one pictured under the title (even if they are cute, aren't they). I put that pic up there because I didn't want you to find out immediately. But your prize WAS in that bag.

Are you ready? It's TADATA .... Yes! One of the super-cute and much talked about canvas totes that are in-store only (at least for now). These come in 3 patterns and I picked up the one that I like the best, with three chic ladies going shopping with their doggies:



And of course you have the name of your favorite (or ex-favorite) retailer on it as a bonus.
If you don't know what you could use it for, let me tell you that these make the perfect bags for returns because they are big enough to stuff a lot of Jcrew items inside and unlike the most reusable bags out there they are landscape-shaped (wider than taller) and not portrait-shaped (thanks to HeidiG for the terminology).

Here are the rules:
1. You have to be a follower (new followers are welcome)
2. You have to leave a comment and tell me what you like best of the blog and what you don't like that much (please be kind)
3. You have to promise that you won't resell it on Ebay for $35 bucks (if you don't like it, do not participate, even if it's free stuff)
4. You have until Thursday the 25th at midnight ET to enter the giveaway. The winner will be chosen by random.org (whatever that means, but I have a week to find out) and will be announced on Friday the 26th.

If you want post a link to this post on your blog, you're more than welcome but you will still have an entry, to not penalize the non-bloggers.

And now, good luck!
