Gimmee, Gimmee, Gimmee A Giveaway

For the first time ever, and thanks to the people behind Eryn Brinie, I am excited to offer a giveaway.
Eryn Brinie just recently opened a flagship in New York City. Eryn is based on a fictional character; a young fashion designer in her early 20's living in Paris who loves art and culture, frequents museums and is constantly inspired by the beauty around her. Eryn's choice in fashion is the reflection of her inner strength and her belief in her own self. The collection is summarized as feminine, soft, and intelligent look with just enough details to show its characteristics. This season the collection is interpreting boyfriend styles with signature fluidity and lightness.
I am giving away these three goodies each as a separate prize. Leave a comment below and you will be entered to win (open to international readers). The giveaway will end on 6/14/09 and I will announce the three winners on the 15th.


We have been experiencing more typical Washington state weather recently which calls for tights and jackets--and most importantly an umbrella. So, I posed inside and with a poster girl. I thrifted this framed poster way back when I was in high school and worked in a thrift store.
Outfit details: dress- vintage, belt- secondhand, tights- some shop in Japan, shoes- Nine West, jacket- vintage

Fannah said...

I love everything about that outfit.. The jacket and the shoes, amazing! Why are they never worn? I'm so sad right now that I'm underage, and my mom wouldn't approve of me entering such a contest. Bummer bummer.

Amelia said...

This is such a cool giveaway! I love the intricate detail on that last necklace. I hope I win, though I imagine there will be a million entries.

Great outfit! That is such a lovely plaid and I love the shoes, too. Cute poster.

Tiny Dancer said...

Your pics are so lovely! It looks like you're having a lot of fun posing, which makes the pictures so very interesting.

And I love the giveaways too. The last one is especially really, really beautiful and amazing.

Betsy said...

That poster is lovely! I recently stayed at a friends who had several similar posters adorning an alcove in her room and felt very inspired to pick some similar designs for my dressing room.

Just recently back to blogging after a few years of silence! I'll be following your blog from now on you have some beautiful outfits :)

Alison said...

What beautiful jewelry! You've got a great blog and I covet the shoes you've got on in this post. Seems weird that you've got dreary weather; just over the border in Vancouver we've been having a heat wave!

emily said...

i love the idea of a store being based off a fictional character, i think it was also mentioned on another blog...?

pinkpillsanity said...

I've been meaning to leave a comment for a while. I wish I weren't always cold, I'd wear dresses all the time like you do.

Meaghan Kelly said...

i hope the weather gets better! i also hope i win one of those pretty pretty necklaces!!!

Lauren said...

I love the poster, and your military jacket. Working in a thrift store would be a very cool summer job, I wish I had more close by.

FASHIONconfectionairy said...

1. I would love to enter! Those necklaces are gorgeous.
2. I hate this Washington weather we are having again after that amazing heat stroke.
3. I really want, love, and adore your dress, it looks military but very cute at the same time! Jealous!
XOXOXO

Dee said...

I've got like three beautiful posters that I wanna put up, but my new room is already so small and cluttered that two things could happen: the posters could make it feel more cozy and homey, or they would just make it look like a messy room that hasn't been cleaned in years...

Emily said...

Great giveaway! And your dress is absolutely perfect.

smarties said...

I love the one where you are posing with the poster girl. Kind of metatheatrical..

Jade said...

Wow I can't believe this giveaway! Such beautiful pieces!

P.S. I love you dress, especially the button detail.

Sales Rack Raider said...

The vintage dress is so cute! I love the pattern and the off-center buttons.

Nicola said...

I've only ever left one comment on here which was when you did the questions post. I read your blog daily and it is by far my favourite. Shame about the weather but it is very similar here in England!

Diana said...

All three pieces are beautiful! Count me in!
I love your dress too.

Savvy Mode SG said...

oh i hope i win too. : ) what a fab giveaway.

Cindy Khor said...

the shiny glittery tights really looks cool. i love your nine-west ankle boots. the thin belt really does matches the vintage dress really well, i thought you would wear a waist belt with it.

dapper kid said...

How lovely that they actually created a character for their line :) I so need to do a proper giveaway! I absolutely love your shoes, and am somewhat rather jealous of your military jacket lol. I keep trying to find something similar to Travis' jacket in Taxi Driver. Oh and that framed poster is beautiful.

Clare said...

Oh my gosh I love your Nine West booties and you look SO adorable in your photos! Oh, and count me in on that giveaway!!

Hi, I found your blog while searching the internet for the Fall/Winter 06/07 Galliano wedding dress for Nordstrom, because I fell in love with while looking for a wedding dress and I found your gem of a blog.

I stop by and peak at your blog once a week and have sent it to my girlfriends, I think you have great style and fun with clothes. I really like that you have so many photos.

KD said...

That second picture of you is pure gold! I love the outfit and the giveaway wares.

Jessica said...

shopgirl28 said...

I love how you matched the pose with the painting, and those tights are spectacular.

BuzzChild said...

Those tights are the perfect colour aren't they? Especially with such cute little shoes.
That's a lovely poster too, lucky you having worked in a thrift store!

Beatriz Kim said...

I love your outfit! It's just perfect on you! Do you know you have nice, shapely legs? The picture with just the legs showed them off nicely.

The giveaway looks fantastic. I was just talking to my mom about how Korean fashion is really starting to name for itself in America. Go figure! Yes...I'm Korean...though 1/8 Japanese...and born in Argentina, living in the California, USA! I'm a mutt.

I love your blog. It's not just the fashion, which I love, but also your style of writing. I feel like I'm having a private conversation with you. Maybe you could write a different kind of fashion book. I think you could become really big...fame I mean!

Oh Leah Darling said...

I love your blog. Just endlessly adorable. :]

I absolutely adore the plaid dress. <3

simplysam said...

The necklace hanging from the mossy branch is stunning, simply stunning.

I wish it were still cool enough for tights here, but it's getting warm!

Katie said...

Wow, you blog is really good! I've just recently started looking at other blogs and may start my own. I like your fashion sense immensely. I think these blogs are a good way to find more styles and shops than any magazine out there.

Claudia said...

Brittney said...

I am in love with those shoes, and that shade of red lipstick is just perfect. Congrats on your first giveaway.

Pretty Pirate said...

What gorgeous giveaway pieces those are. I love reading about your adventures in my home state. Have you been to the Largest goodwill in Seattle yet? It's so amazing, you have to go. There is always the "by the pound" store too, which is even more of an adventure.

Frank said...

The last photo of the accessory ( a necklace perhaps) looks to die for! And how do you walk in those shoes! I love them but I'm pretty sure I would topple over.

mardoc said...

Delicate Rows Pedal said...

That poster is just the cutest and so are you! You definitely could have been a model for paintings like that back in the day and your sense of style is just the icing on the cake!

i love love LOVE oxfords. where i live (india), its hard enough as it is to find the perfect flats, so you can write it off as impossible to find the perfect heels. and i want these to be my first set of perfect heels.

i would love to have the second piece of jewelry in my closet. since it is india, i will be greedy and put in my name for the giveaway. :) if luck strikes anyone, it better strike the needy. ;)

By the way, your poster-mimicking picture is just about the cutest thing ever.
