Win It: Make Believe.



A few weeks ago I posted about Make Believe and their super rad tees. I love how timeless the designs are, you could have bought one yesterday or found it in the back of your dad’s closet. All of you seemed to fall for them just as hard as I have, and now you have a chance to win one of two shirts – Old Glory or Silver Geronimo. (Their site scrolls sideways if you want to check out the rest, including the BP shirt, where $3 of each sale goes to help the animals effected in the oil spill.)

To Enter, Leave a Comment and Tell Me:
1. About your favorite go-to t-shirt
2. Your email address
3. Do it all before Monday, July 26th at 9m CST

Win It: Orient Automatic Watch.

I wore a watch religiously starting in junior high and continuing throughout college. And then when I hit the workforce ground running I stopped. The world of keyboard trays has really managed to cramp my watch-wearing style with all of its banging, clanking and pinching. I’m hoping to get back in the saddle sometime soon, perhaps with Orient’s CEV09002B or CFM00001B. In the meantime, the ladies out there have the chance to win this pink-faced BNQ1P001M.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. Are you always early, on time or late?
2. Your email address {for my use only}
3. Do it all before Monday, June 21st at 9am CST.

The Fine Print: Please leave only one comment. Those who do not leave a valid email address will be disqualified. Winner will be selected randomly and contacted Monday, June 21st.

Win It: CSN Stores.


This week’s giveaway from CSN Stores is so rad, you’ll want to have your speaker stands set up and blasting so you can hear me announce it loud and clear!

The Node Bowl by designer Kevin Williams is a nice example of the dynamics of light and shadow. Display it as a sculptural piece or let it chill on your kitchen counter holding fruits and veggies. I think I’d put it in the center of my white tulip table in my kitchen, holding some lemons and limes.
