Competition Winner AND Clothing at Tesco Press Day

Hi guys,
Well, first things first: drumroll please, it's time to announce the winner of my faith shoes competition, which I ran for an extra day because of the problems with blogger last week. The winner of those two gorgeous pairs of Faith shoes is........EMMA! I chose Emma because she wants to wear them to her best friends wedding: and you know i'm a sucker for weddings right now. Congratulations!!

Secondly, last week I went to the Clothing at Tesco press day and press show. I was obsessed with almost every coat I saw (its an addiction) and I couldn't believe how good they looked considering they only cost between £40-50. It was a really nice looking collection, especially for the money, and all of next seasons key trends were covered. Here's just a sneaky peak of some of the looks:


Colourwise, it was all very autumnal, and similar to last Autumn/Winter (good news if you aren't planning on doing much shopping this winter!) The seventies trend is still around, but has evolved from hippie to preppy: think bright denim, shirts with collars, and knitted jumpers. And I was glad to see that peach and cinamon were still popular: they're my current obsessions!

And the winner is.... (Drum roll please)....

Hi guys,

Well, the time has come to announce the winner of my Brand Alley competition. I couldn't believe how many of you entered, or how close some of your guesses were!

So now to reveal the RRP of my £100 spend: The D&G shoes were 710 euros (see label above for evidence) which I have converted to £600.06p, using today's rates. The umbrella rrp'ed at £35 and the Clinique exfoiliator rrp'ed at £16.50. That means that for less than £100, the grand RRP total of my shopping trip was £651.56p

....Which means the winner is....EmmaBarron, with a crazily close guess of £654!! Congratulations! Emma: drop me an email here so that I pass your email address to Brand Alley, who will sort out your voucher!

I, for one, couldn't believe how high the rrp of those shoes were: I was sure they would throw you off the scent, but you clever folks obviously know your shoes!

I've got more competitions coming over the next couple of weeks, so if you didn't win today, better luck next time!

Love, Tor xx

Sarenza competition: And the winner is....

The Sarenza team have shortlisted the finalists for the £60 voucher giveaway, and it's time for me to pick a winner. It was a tough decision, as there were lots of lovely ladies who genuinely deserved new shoes! The finalists (and their comments) were:

Katherine...
There once was a time (i.e. last year!) when I was so broke that I had to return a pair of shoes so that I could buy groceries at Sainsburys! They looked a lot like these gorgeous ones: http://www.sarenza.co.uk/mine-de-rien-rosal-s756555-p0000024537
Now I am in a better place, found a great job and am slowly saving for bigger and better things. I took a photo of the shoes I returned, because I loved them THAT much! To be able to use the voucher towards buying these shoes would be like redemption for hard work.
And you know what the sad thing is? The shoes I returned were from Primark! Yes, I was so broke I needed to recover that whopping £15!

Louise...
I would love to win as Sarenza send me emails daily, tempting me with their gorgeous shoes that I just can't afford at the moment! But boy, do I love their shoes!!
---
Charlotte ...
I don't often get the chance to buy myself new shoes, lack of pennies. But since the hard work to lose weight is paying off, a treat in the form of shoes wouldn't go a miss :).

Christina Sanders...
Wow, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win. I have had to spend every penny I have on trying to get my hair from red back to blond and now I have nothing left for clothes or shoes!
---
MissMalibu...
I have just started my first proper job in a fashion house as a design assistant and I don't get paid for a month and therefore cannot afford to buy any new shoes. I am the fashion tramp! I would put this voucher to bloody good use! :)

And the winner is...MissMalibu! I remember starting my first job and the awful "do I have enough bus fare to get to work" moments that came with it....hopefully new shoes will get you through to your first payday, and ensure you have the best dressed feet in the office! Drop me a line with your email in it, and the Sarenza team can get your voucher off to you. It must be Fabfrocks shoe week, as I have another post going up this evening, where I will be showing off my three new pairs of shoes! Yum, and yay!

Tesco competition: And the winner is....

Firstly, i'd like to say thank you to everyone who commented or emailed me your entries: who knew you were all such a creative lot!? I was massively impressed with how much stuff you guys could buy for £30: you're bigger bargain hunters than me! However, there can only be one winner, and that winner is a lady who sent me not one, but three gorgeous outfit options:

Congratulations to Erin Caldwell! I couldn't believe how much effort you made, and how great every single one of your outfits were!

Watch this space for another competition; this time to win a voucher for £60 to spend at Sarenza shoes! (I know I said i'd post this yesterday, but a minor crisis means I won't be able to get it online until this afternoon!)

Fashion maketh woman competition winner is....

The winner of the fashion maketh woman competition is.....Claire! Congratulations to Claire- if you drop me an email with your address/contact details asap I can send these to the event organiser who can get your tickets to you ahead of Thursday's event. Congratulations again, and maybe i'll see you there!

If you missed out then don't worry - I have another exciting competition from delightful muddle vintage coming up shortly.

Love, Tor xx

And the winner is.....

Using the old tried and tested names out of a hat method, the winner of the Polaroid sunglasses competition is commenter number 14; that's Louise! I don't have any contact details for you Louise, so drop me an email with your address so I can pop your gorgeous sunnies into the post. And congratulations! I haven't taken mine off all week!

In other news, sorry for my rubbish posting record over the past week, however I am working on a post reviewing some of the lovely new summer collection from Simply Be, which I will be posting tonight. After that I promise my usual daily posting routine will resume (My mum emailed me this morning because she was worried about the lack of posting - definitely time to get back to work!)

I hope you're all having a lovely week and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine!

Love, Tor xx

An expo, Lady Gaga, and the competition winner

Hey guys,

First we'll do the winner of the Reebok Easytone competition: I know I promised you a hat, but I opted for a rattly tin (I liked the metallic sound it made when i shook it) Plus i'm not wearing a hat today!

So the winner is (tin rattle please...) Elizabeth. Congratulations! Get in touch and give me your email address so that I can forward the details to Reebok who will give you access to the EasyTone community where you can select your prize! Due to the time constraints of starting the trial, if you don't get in touch by Sunday, I will draw a new winner!

I'm always late to the table with updates about fashion goings on (it's a good job you don't come here for breaking news!) but The Fashion Fusion Expo is happening today and tomorrow at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane. There will be workshops, experts, and a load of exhibitors specialising in in clothing, accessories, beauty, art and much more! I've been invited down on Saturday, and as usual i'd love to meet some of you guys there.

So you know a bit more about it, here is the blurb on the site: "In a mix of current collections, samples and past seasons’ stock, this exhibition of both young designers and high street favourites offers a unique opportunity to snap up some of the hottest bargains. Discover a diverse mix of styles, cultures and traditional dress. Watch catwalk shows for ideas on dressing down and dressing up. Clothing, shoes, accessories and one-off pieces you won’t find anywhere else."

For a fashion spectacle far greater than any other I can provide today, check out the new Gaga/Beyonce video for Telephone. It was released today and it is amazing: i've already watched it three times! Particular fashion notes are the smoking cigarette sunglasses, the diet coke can hairrollers, and Beyonces fierce rolled fringe (VV Brown -style) And I could talk about Gaga's theatrical make up all day long - I always love it!

It's a good song too - i'm bopping around at my desk and singing fairly (read: very) loudly as I type!
Have a great Friday guys!
Love, Tor x
