Win It: IVEE Winner.

Congratulations Claire!

All of your answers were incredibly inspiring. And with this super stylish workout wardrobe from IVEE, even I am a bit more motivated to kick it up a notch in 2010. A big thank you to everyone for entering and to IVEE for creating workout wear we wouldn’t be ashamed to be seen out in public in!

Win It: IVEE.


Boston-based IVEE is a fashion forward sportswear company dedicated to creating luxuriously comfortable sportswear. Their designs are for the busy, yet style-conscious contemporary woman, who wants to move effortlessly from the yoga, pilates, or dance studio at the gym to coffee or lunch with effortlessly polished style. They even have a green, environmentally friendly bamboo collection of apparel. What’s not to love?

Here’s a little something that should make that New Year’s Resolution of working out five (okay, three) times a week a little easier. Because looking good and stylish why sweating and gasping for breath is all a girl can really ask for. Well, aside from having the metabolism of a hummingbird and never having to do any sort of working out whatsoever. But that’s okay, because IVEE is offering one of you a $100 gift certificate towards anything in their shop!

To Enter, Tell Me:

1. What’s your workout routine?
2. Your email address, in case you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, December 14th at 9am

Win It: Mary Kate McDevitt.

Mary Kate McDevitt’s Mini Goals Chalkboards were first introduced to me a few months ago and I fell in love. Not only is the idea of accomplishing a few things a day easier to digest than a lengthy list, but it’s also much more palatable when written down on something as lovely as one of her chalkboards. Do you see that beauty of a chalkboard sitting above? Mary Kate made it just for us and it could be all yours.

To Enter, Tell Me:
1. What are two things that you need to cross off your To Do list today?
2. Your email address, to be notified should you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, December 7th at 9am CST

Win It: Whitney English Winner.


Is that not the sweetest thing ever? I love reading all of your comments on the best letter you’ve ever received. And pleasantly surprised that a lot of your said your college acceptance letter!

Mine is any of the numerous letters my first real boyfriend and I exchanged when I was 15. He lived on the other side of the city, so there were lots of phone calls and letters and no secret rendezvouses since we were both sans drivers license. He would make the envelopes out of cool ads and photos from magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin and I thought it was just about the best thing ever to come home from school to find one waiting in the mailbox. Ah, memories!

A big thank you to Whitney English for their incredible generosity and beautiful stationery!
