Virtual Outdoor Oasis + Outdoor Trunk Giveaway

If you live in a part of the world where summer evenings are in the 70-degree range, mild breezes are de rigueur, and humidity is at a solid zero percent then I am in completely and total envy. Because that is my summer dream, to work (or play) the day away and relax into a backyard oasis with perfect weather in the evenings. My current backyard is basically the size of two postage stamps next to one another, so I’ve resorted to creating a virtual oasis to satiate my longings. Outdoor Trunk is just the place to shop for such outdoor necessities, so i dug in and found some pieces I love that would make any backyard a dream.

Round Bolster Pillow // Java Pillow // Vertical Garden Box // Glass Bird Feeder // Cafe Lighting //
Asia Fire Pit // Beverage Cart // Sunrise Wind Chime

I dream of owning a hammock some day soon, so I’m completely envious that you have the chance to win what is possibly the most relaxing piece of outdoor furniture to ever exist. And what summer is worth anything without a great BBQ set to assist with some solid grilling? That’s right, none. Enter to win both from Outdoor Trunk and then report back with how awesome they are when you win!

Soundfreaq Sound Rise + Giveaway

If you’re like me you prefer to wake up to one of your favorite mellow tunes rather than the jarring blare of an alarm clock. Those first few minutes of the day can determine your mood for hours (especially on a Monday), and Soundfreaq created the alarm clock/bluetooth speaker hybrid Sound Rise with just that in mind.

The stacked design looks right at home on your bedside table in either black or wood tones, and the sound quality is seriously impressive. You can also enjoy solid sound while you get ready or soft music to relax to while falling asleep. Control the tone of your music with neutral, warm, and bright options for a customized experience. One of my favorite Sound Rise functions is the ability to set different alarm times for weekdays and weekends – who hasn’t accidentally set their Saturday wakeup for 6am? The worst. And you can even blackout the digital display, perfect for someone light sensitive like myself. Sound Rise features a USB power port you can use to keep your phone charging while you sleep, without having to fuss with a dock of any kind. Just one last thing: a nap timer. Soundfreaq has seriously thought of everything!

And now the part you’ve been waiting for – a chance to win your own Sound Rise! Get every day off to a better start by entering any number of ways below, but do it before Sunday, June 15th at 11:59 pm.

Drake General Store Au Courant: Curated Classics Giveaway

Let’s kick off this week with the biggest giveaway Design Crush has ever been a part of – Drake General Store’s Au Courant: Curated Classics! At the end of February Drake General Store launched their first major campaign, it’s brimming over with tried and true favorites and we’ve teamed up on a major giveaway – I’m talking $1,000 worth of prizes – to go along with it!

Toronto-based Drake General Store has been on my radar for awhile now as a fantastic modern gift shop paired with a classic general store that carries contemporary nostalgia with a Canadian twist. (You might also know them for the cultural hotbed that is The Drake Hotel.)

I’m the happy owner of an HBC Caribou Throw that’s amazing on the coldest nights (and Peanut the Cat approved), as well as the Shared History Macho Man Robe which is basically the biggest sweatshirt hoodie you’ve ever laid eyes on or cozied up in. Both of these pieces are included in the giveaway among FORTY OTHER ITEMS. It’s complete insanity, all because these Canadians want to share their best sellers with you.

You can enter for a chance to win the best giveaway ever from now until March 14th. Just click over to the Drake General Store’s Au Courant: Curated Classics giveaway page to toss your hat into the ring. Good luck!

(Whew. I got a little tired just typing all of that.)

Mud Australia is an incredible Sydney-based company that I’ve been following for years. They’ve created a beautiful, minimalistic line of porcelain that combines hand made processes, clean lines, color palette and functionality since their founding in 1994. Mud has an inspiring small business history that you can (and should) read about.

imm Living (+ a Giveaway)

White accessories are some of my favorite to add to my home, they add so much personality without the clutter. A few weeks ago Imm Living asked me to choose some of my favorite pieces from their collection to style for their Choo Choo Chooses campaign and I jumped at the chance. Imm is the absolute king of white and one of the best at marrying playfulness and functionality in their accessories.

I immediately gravitated towards the Socialites. Both of their hats can be removed to stash little collections, but I think I’ll be using them as occasional vases for seasonal flowers and greenery this holiday season.

I fell fast for the King’s Subject Containers, namely the hippo with the sweet little bird perched upon his nose. Right now he’s hard at work with a nosegay of wildflowers on my coffee table, but I’m also looking forward to putting him to work holding my favorite pens. I love how imm’s pieces lend themselves to multiple uses!

I’ve been searching for just the right cake plate for some time now, and knew I’d found it when I saw the horse head Takes the Cake Plate! I can’t wait to serve hors d’oeuvres and other treats to guests atop his majestic head, but rather than put this guy behind closed doors in the cupboard I’ve decided to place him front and center on my dining table to collect keys, sunglasses, etc.

This gold Lucky Break Wishbone Wall Hook was a no-brainer, as I’m forever searching for ways to organize my necklaces and to keep them from tangling with one another. I also wouldn’t mind the little bit of luck it might bring!

That’s right, you have a chance to win all five pieces! And one last little surprise, Burke Decor has partnered with Imm Living and is offering you all 15% off storewide (including Imm Living), just enter the code IMMLIVING15 during checkout. Time to start crossing those holiday gifts off your list! You can also like Imm Living on Facebook for the latest updates!

Each setting from B for Brandie includes an Astor Charger Plate in gray, Vanderbilt Dinner Plate in navy, Truman Dessert/Salad Plate in turquoise, and a Truman Bowl in navy as well as a set of Olivia Champagne Wine Combo Glasses that can be used as wine or champagne glasses with a flip!
