Based on the tremendous response to this fashion giveaway (THANK YOU!), I decided one winner wasn’t enough. Three seemed like a much better number. I loved reading all the comments and who everyone’s favorite designer was. Because I’ve been in admiration of high fashion for so long, I have much appreciation for all fashion designers….

Monthly Archives: October 2007My first fashion giveaway! In honor of my favorite designer… The lucky winner will receive the newest colors in the Chanel Holiday nail color collection – Dazzling and Delice (limited edition). Two brand new bottles. Dazzling is a very pretty matte red color and Delice is a sparkly champagne color. You can see a sample… PRADA, baby! Pick me !!!!!!! … ann taylor. (for once i find decent clothes in petite that I don’t have to alter!!!) Love it. favorite designer – marc jacobs. I would love to win me some nail polish! Thank you! Hi Jessica – I would love that nail polish! One of my favorite designers is Nicole Miller. oh i love nail polish!! the 1st time in my life my nails are long enough to paint! Chanel toes for the holiday…lovely! Hi Jessica – fun giveaway!!! How coincidental that your previous post was by my favorite designer: Marc Jacob. I also like Karl Lagerfeld’s designs for this fall… his Pret a Porter collection has lots of yummy coats. Too bad I live in San Diego! The classics are my favorite – Chanel and Donna Karan. The Camelot era and Jackie O inspire me in a fashion sense. I work with your Uncle Ken. Love him!!! Also found you through Ali. I like your blog because, I too, love fashion! Coach bags are about as designer as I get though! Very much a J. Crew girl! It’d have to be a tie between Vera Wang and Ralph Laure. To me, they’re both classics. My favorite designer is Diane VonFurstenburg… you can’t look bad in one of her dresses! Nina Ricci gowns(though I don’t wear them I can appreciate them), DKNY, Marc Jacobs, Kenneth Cole, Balenciaga & Coach bags…Love fashion, but can’t get enough of makeup, I don’t think you can have too much eye shadow, lipstick or nail polish!–and Chanel has some of the best colors! Hi Jessica, Alannah Hill is my pick (www.alannahhill.com.au). This is a lovely giveaway and brought back a happy memory for me. My one and only bottle of Chanel nail polish was bought when I went to Paris with my Dad many years ago. Thanks for the chance to play! Love the addition of “Today’s Fashion Choice” to your blog. OK, please pick the stay-at-home mom who lives vicariously through you and has not painted her toenails in over a year!! This would be a treat. Honesty is the best policy: I choose Isaac Mizrahi’s collection at Target as my fave. Where else can you one-stop shop for cute tops and diapers? HI Jessica, got your blog link through Ali’s! The same as all the others… not a fashionista, but I just love you. Thank you for making my dull days better! I love Marc Jacobs!!!!! and red nail polish! Greetings from South Africa HI Jessica, got your blog link through Ali’s! The same as all the others… not a fashionista, but I just love you. Thank you for making my dull days better! I love Marc Jacobs!!!!! and red nail polish! Greetings from South Afirca Ralph Lauren and Chanel. Love the colors! Hi Jessica… Narciso Rodriguez..and more. Narciso Rodriguez..or Oscar De La Renta…Carolina Herrera..or Vera…oh boy, the list goes on. betsey johnson…love the colors anything by Vera Wang Since my favorite thing to wear is jeans I would have to say Levi Strauss. I think the red polish would go great with denim. KIMORA LEE SIMMONS chanel and gucco are my FAVE in the world I would say Marc Jacobs…but these days I buy mostly to keep the kids looking cute. KIMORA LEE SIMMONS! I love your blog! I found it through Ali. You have such an amazing fashion sense – such an inspiration. My favorite designer would have to be Tom Ford. He is the ultimate in sexy sophistication. Sometimes he can be way out there, but it is always so meticulous. Does Cole Haan count? Otherwise Judith Leiber. I enjoy reading about your fashion style! Marc Jacobs. You can single handedly thank him for most trends you see in fashion today in some form or another. He brought back the mini, the ballet flat, this whole feminine silhouette you see in so much of lately and have for the past three or four years. What I mean by that is the emphasis on a women’s body, hugging curves, cinched in waists, etc…Also he was one of the firsts to start doing “day dresses” again. Which are ALL over now. Ralph Lauren, Carolina Herrara, Karl Lagerfeld/Chanel, Lanvin and Naeem Khan has some interesting gowns! I love coming online and being inspired by your wardrobe! My favorite designer-favorite store is Jacob Boutique. Found only in Canada. So next time, you travel up North CHECK IT OUT! You would love it! How fun! I swear I am not trying to brown nose here but I would choose Coco Chanel. Another lurker through your sisters blog Michael Kors fan here! I’m another who found your blog through Ali. I’ll say Michael Kors and because I just bought some great jeans (after losing 100 pounds) Ralph Lauren. They fit like a dream! Count me as another who loves to follow your adventures! Love reading your blog! You’re too cute! you are so freaking cute! what a clever idea!! pretty colors! my fav designer is marc jacobs love…Stella McCartney What a fun contest….Marc Jacobs is my fav!!!! I’m another scrapper who found your blog through Ali! I love reading your blog, my favorite is your “outfits of the day”. So fun! I don’t know that I have a favorite designer but I really like Chanel. Thanks for all your inspiration! Ahhh…I meant to say Marc Jacobs!!! The other comments for Michael Kors threw me Michael Kors!!! Michael Kors is my favorite. Too fun! A girl can always use a good polish! Favs would have to be Kenneth Cole and Carolina Herrera! Love, love, LOVE your blog. i love chanel polish! I found you through your sis Ali, I love both of your girls styles. I love to look you up and check out your fashion picks. Hoping to catch you when you come to Springfield, MO. with Jeffrey. I’d have to say Ralph Lauren, after many years, he’s still a staple that I can always go to. While I don’t have a favorite designer, I would count you as my favorite fashion influence! Hi there, Hi there, you rock, missy!! I LOVE Dolce & Gabbana! ooh, fun. what a fun idea for a giveaway I love Ralph Lauren. He is my favorite clothing designer. I’ve always been intrigued by John Galliano. I so enjoy reading your blog – what a fabulous & exciting life you lead! another gal here who found you through ali’s blog! let’s see favorite designer…Michael Kors. i am enjoying your blog!! I would love to win the nail polish! My fav designer is Marc Jacobs. I love your blog–it’s so fun to read. I enjoy hearing your tips, seeing the great things you wear, and your interests. Thanks! YSL is a fave of mine. Love the colors and the names of those and would love to win them! Sass and Bide, Lanvin, and Valentino Heels of course!!! Great blog and great style Jessica. You have amazing fashion sense. There are a couple of designers that I really like. The first one(s) are Pam and Gela from Juicy Couture. I have a couple of their velour track suits. =) The second is Michael Kors. Yay! fashion give away! one of my consistent favorite designers is Kate Spade, always so classic and eye catching at the same time! Love Dior even though IRL I’m a plain jane. Hi Jessica, Ann, Can Canadians play too? Amazing responce to this!!!! WOW, what a great idea and just in time for the holidays. My FAV designer hands down, marc by marc jacobs, great fashions sense and made it on the scene at such a young age! I would love to win, but only if you autograph the bottle….you seem like the type that my make it big your self some day:) I love that classic reds are back in fashion for nail color. As for my fav designer, I can’t pick just one! I do love Marc Jacobs, YSL and J. Crew (does that count?). Michael Kors for his keen understanding of what women would feel and look their best in. Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. Clearly the man understands how to initiate trends and put forth collections that will withstand the test of time. Azzadine Alaia and Herve Leger for creating pieces that understand curves and how best to accentuate them. I adore Betsey Johnson. I don’t have a fav designer but would love to win a polish! I found your blog thru Ali, and then I moved to Charlotte in September, so I love your mentions of local places!! Also, last week my hubby participated in a seminar of Jeffrey’s and brought home the Little Black book…which I am loving! Even though I am a stay @ home Mom, it helped me with a dinner party we recently attended! Dolce and Gabanna How fun…my favorite designer? Hmmm…probably DVF. I met her up here at Nordstrom when she debuted her short-lived makeup line and she was so charming and elegant. Very friendly. But another shout-out for Betsey Johnson just for her approach to life. Hey, this is Taylor. I would say my favorite designer is hands-down Chloe. Temperley is a close second. No way! That is so cool!! It is SO hard to pick a designer, so I will pick one that I can actually afford instead of one I lust after and do not have a prayer of owning. I have adored Betsy Johnson since high school. Her clothes are so fun, flirty, and youthful. Been following your blog for quite some time (thanks to Ali’s blog). I’m no fashionista (nor do I currently have the body to pull anything even remotely stylish), but the one thing I do for myself is get pedicures! So the Chanel Dazzling and Delice would come in perfect for my next trip to the salon! That’s the one time every few weeks just for ME (minus my 17 month old daughter) to get caught up on all the tabloid magazines (US, People, OK) and occasional browse threw Vogue or Cosmo to see what trends are hot or not…..Designers?? Considering I do most of my clothes shopping at Fred Meyer now (you’ll know that name since you grew-up in the Pacific NW—and please don’t cringe when you think of buying clothes there) I’d have to say the only “designer” named clothes I’ve really owned were my Calvin Klein jeans (back in the 80’s)…yes, I’m dating myself! I did read the part about listing my favorite designer, but I don’t have a favorite…but I would love to win those beautiful new polishes Jessica– A fun giveaway! My toes could use some new colors! ETRO — pick me, pick me! i would love a chance to win those yummy nail colors! thank you! The company Christmas party this year has a white theme. (Last year was red.) And I’ve been searching several sites to find the right outfit. I’ve been looking for a dress that’s more on the casual side. And I believe I’ve just found the one! This Marc by Marc Jacobs dress is fun and flirty,… Cute options, Jessica! Now I have some ideas in mind when I go shopping. Okay… Kath, One additional suggestion for Dove and her event at the aquarium: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2945703/0~6006558~6006559~6006574~6007662?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=6007662&P=1 Hi Jessica! Hi Kath, My turn! I love reading your blog and admire your fashion sense. I have an event coming up at my son’s school. It’s dressy casual, but I always use it as an excuse to get a new outfit. I was thinking maybe a cute sweater dress and boots. I’m petite with dark brown hair and light blue eyes. Any ideas? Dove, Thank you so much for the advice, I am a bit nervous about the pairing of the black tights with the wild shoes….but willing to give it a try. If you happen across anything that accentuates the waist please send it my way, I would have to say it is my best feature:) Dove, I attended a Christmas party at the Seattle Aquarium a few years back. I wanted to let you know that the venue is dark (lighting-wise) and unseasonably cold. I don’t know if they keep the temperatures low for the purpose of the inhabitants there or what, but it is kept at a very low, almost uncomfortable temperature. Janet, i love your fashion choice photo gallery! Hi Dove, The Seattle Aquarium, I am not from the area but seems to me its an odd venue (should I bring my swim suit?). Also keep in mind my budget is high but I would like to save on the dress and accessorize. Jessica, Hi Janet, Hi Dove, Wow, what a sweet offer to help chose an outfit. I need something for a wedding I’m going to in Japan. I’m a bit nervous about the whole experience so I could really use some outfit advice. I’m looking for something modest but dressy, it’s a formal wedding. Any ideas would be great! I just love your style sense!!!! I would love your input for my upcoming holiday party dress. I am looking at a few options and NEED your help. I am going to attempt to post links to a few…I am going for something eye catching and bright, I like to draw lots of attention to myself. I had the delightful opportunity to attend Toronto Fashion Week last night, thanks to the beautiful and talented fashion photographer Yanick Dery. We attended the Aqua Di Lara swinsuit show. Amazing designs. I wish I could have bought some of the suits on the spot. So happy that you got to go to a show Jess – I know how much you have been wanting to go Hi Hailey, I love that you have added a daily fashion choice! great inspiration for those of us who are more fashionably-challenged! I was wondering what brand of jeans you are wearing with the green coat outfit? Hey Jess…love the HAT! It looks perfect with your outfit. WOW! You lucky, lucky girl! You look fabulous! Stunning fashion choice! Coco Chanel would have been proud! Here’s a great reason to get out there and exercise… Cool new shoes! And they’re a bargain at $39.99 here or $49.99 here in grey suede. I picked the ’80s inspired color scheme (it’s becoming a theme around here!), but they come in lots of other colors, too. And for for those of you with… Hi Stephanie, OMG! You wear a size 10? I wear an 11 and can’t seem to find shoes anywhere. Any good (and reasonably priced) sites you shop at? I took the last several days off from blogging to be in Seattle to visit family and fun friends, for Frederick’s ’80s themed skating birthday party, and my high school reunion. I found the greatest combination of neon items for my outfit. American Apparel, Urban Outfitters, and fredflare.com had great ’80s gear. Jessica, I love it….an 80s party. Hope there was good music in the background. And you make a beautiful brunette. Jessica, the brunette look is definitely for you. In-freaking-credible!! xoxo LOL – nice hair and sunglasses. WOW! You look AMAZING as a brunette! Delights I’m reveling in today: • Fancy desk accessories like this.• Fat free fig newtons.• A cool shelf to store stuff in. (Ali would love this one.) The site it comes from has some adorable home decorating items.• Hot tamales – the candy. Deliciously addicting. • Las Vegas sunrises. They’re so clear and bright. And… LOVE your picture!! one of my favorite things on preparing for my wedding – getting facials every two weeks to calm my rosacea. yum. I have had some serious cravings for Hot Tamales lately! Loving the pictures! It’s all about the accessories. Even when it comes to a decorative stapler. I found an excellent traveling coat. Hooded. Warm. Comfortable. Washable (although I will dryclean to maintain the newness. And cute! It’s Juicy Couture and the only difficulty I face is having to remove the coat through security. Today I chose the pat down alternative because I didn’t want to put it into the dirty bins… fabulous coat. love that coat – send me the info Thanks Jessica! You too. Hi Nina! Hi Jessica. A few weeks ago I asked you about facials and how you go about choosing an aesthetician, products, etc. When you get a chance could you please let me know what you recommend. Many thanks! that coat is darling! girlie – i’d have done the same thing. I agree with the pat down. Good Choice. I’m a big Juicy fan myself. I also love the coat. =) I would have opted for the pat down too, rather than putting it in the yucky bins!! Love the coat!!!! "Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman." -Coco Chanel Jeanette, I think I just found the perfect quote for my closet. LOVE it! And love the dress you are wearing!! TOO TRUE!!! Road trip today from Charlotte to Greensboro for Jeffrey’s public seminar there. Fun to travel by car for a change when airplanes have been my primary method of transportation for the past three years. And just as we got into the city, out of the corner of my eye, I saw this! how cool is that?! it would seem weird to see my face on a billboard…what about Jeffrey? How neat is that? I live in Greensboro and have not seen that sign yet. Is Jeffery your husband? I found your blog thru Ali’s blog… How cool to see the billboard. |
