Thank you all & Betsey Johnson Swag Giveaway

First of all, I just wanted to say how touched I am by the kindness and helpfulness of the fashion blogging community. The fashion bloggers and readers I have met have all been amazingly kind and thoughtful!

After yesterday's post, Debbie (of the Dark Horse - and a fellow fashionable academic!) let me know that she had just seen the Precious Materials Cardigan at Albuquerque's Anthropologie! I called this morning and they're shipping one to me. They were very impressed when I told them a lovely reader of my blog let me know they had the cardigan so I could get it shipped to Seattle! If you are still looking for this cardi too, they said they have an XS (and maybe another S).

Ok, so now for y'all, I'm having another giveaway! I know it's crazy soon since my last one, but do you remember my Betsey Johnson post? Well, what I didn't show you was this:



We all got a swag bag! As fun as this is, I actually can't use a lot of the stuff (I've got sensitive skin so the fragranced lotion won't work for me, and I don't use mascara, etc). So I wanted to pass this along to one of you!

Here's what was in the bag:





1. Betsey Johnson flowered zippered pouch
2. A sample of Benefit Cosmetic's Bad Gal Lash mascara
3. A small bottle (.25 oz) of Julep's nail polish in 'Samantha' (I assume Samantha from Sex in the city?)
4. A magnetic mirrored eyeshadow palette compact from Von Reuss cosmestics (colors: Old Money, Amatista, Esmerelda, Sapphira) for their upcoming 2011 line. Since this isn't out yet, you could even do a product review in a post! How fun would that be? I tried to get a shot of the colors, but there's a gold, pinkish/purple, navy/blue, and green (all shimmery-sparkly)
5. One large tube (6.7 oz) of Betsey Johnson Body Lotion
6. The black swag shoulder tote with lipstick mark and 'xox Betsey'


To make it extra fun, I'm going to throw in a $25 gift card to Anthropologie! I hadn't been planning to do my next giveaway until my 1000th post, but heck, let's just go for it. :)
