August Giveaways from around the Web

Lucky Mag Giveaways (August and September)
Only 1 entry per giveaway. If you register on Luckymag.com, you can cut down on the data entry. It may be worth it because there are 25 giveaways for September alone!!

Teen Vogue Mag
They have a calendar of giveaways (a giveaway every day of the month). The one on August 18th is especially good.

Elle and Elle Girl Mag
Many prizes up for grabs but keep in mind the different deadlines. It's 1 entry per day. Franky that's a little annoying for a $20 prize.

Lifetime Project Runway Sweepstakes (8/14/09 - 8/23/09)
Win a limited-edition Project Runway sewing machine, a Michael Kors Astor chain satchel, a gift card to Mood Designer Fabrics, and more. One entry per person.

Fashion's Night Out Shopping Spree (8/11/09 - 9/11/09)
You can enter 1 time per day and there 8 prizes, with gift cards from many different stores, each worth over $5000. Pretty awesome if you ask me.

If there are other great giveaways, leave me a link in the comment section and I'll add it to this list.

CFDA Fashion Fund Popular Vote

Don't forget to vote for your favorite designer for 2009 so they can get some moo-lah without you actually purchasing their clothes (not that I wouldn't want to own a piece and support designers that way, but a dress is probably more than my rent). The only problem now is who to choose- I have too many favorites!!

Vote CFDA Fund

You can vote once a day and you are entered for a giveaway of 2 tickets to a Spring Summer 2010 Fashion show. Doesn't say which one or cover transportation costs, but you do get a nice swag bag including a Linea Pelle handbag.

Fashion Sweepstakes Around the Web

Old Navy Cash In Sweepstakes: 1 person selected in Feb 2010 wins $5000. You can enter once a day from now until January 30, 2010. Pretty slim odds if you ask me.

Lucky Breaks May 2009: Lucky mag has multiple contests going on every month, but you can only enter once each. You can always win the cover outfit but there are other prizes this month like a $500 shoe shopping spree or a beautiful Lodis handbag set. Lucky is probably my favorite place for monthly giveaways because you only enter once (so you don't have to visit everyday) and the stuff they give is usually amazing.

Marie Claire Monthly Giveaways: Like Lucky mag, you can enter a contest to win the cover look as well as different beauty products. Also this month they have a special undies giveaway. Everyday there's a different set of undies up for grabs. Marie Claire is definitely worth a look if you go 'geek' over beauty products. Just make sure you always opt out of subscriptions!

Alexander Wang Donna Bag: 04/15-04/29. One (1) entry per person and only one winner selected. Get automatically sent pronto.com updates so use your junk email.

Oscar de la Rental Resort 2010 Tickets for Two: 4/16 to 5/30. One (1) entry per person and only one winner selected. No transportation or lodging provided. Good for people who live in NYC or don't mind taking a trip there during resort show season. These tickets better be front row!

Harper's Bazaar Jumble of Monthly Sweepstakes: This month it's a trip to Puerto Rico, Pantene products, and a $1,000 calvinklein.com shopping spree.

Teen Vogue: Not only does Vogue almost never have giveaways but it's little sister mag Teen Vogue has very passable giveaways. A few products, some jewelry- usually nothing worth over $100. Thankfully this month they have two rather covetable prizes: a $4,000 pbteen.com gift card and a Flip MinoHD camera which retails for $229. Oh and you can submit as many times as you want except there's usually only one winner:

To enter, complete and submit electronically the online entry form at www.teenvogue.com. Enter as often as you wish, but for each entry the entry form must be individually completed. Entries submitted using any kind of bot or automated technology will be deleted.

What a difference from mature women mags (like Lucky) that only let you submit once during the span of the contest. Clearly these people believe in the endurance of 13 year olds who have nothing better to do but cut and paste.

Elle and Elle Girl: Elle usually has some nice things and Elle Girl has some decent, not very expensive, stuff that's still better than Teen Vogue. You can apply for every contest once per day during a certain period, which requires you to regularly visit the site to improve your chances.

That's all I can think of for now. Ideeli.com tells me there should be Vera Wang, Roger Vivier, and YSL giveaways soon.

Fug Madness 2009

Go Fug Yourself is always good for a few laughs. There are plenty of unforgivable photos that attest that money doesn't buy you style (or sanity for that matter). Granted, some outfits deemed fug by the Fug Girls is not truly fug in my book but merely avant garde that should be applauded (i.e. Tilda, Rihanna, & Mary Kate).

As a special treat, the GFY team put together Fug Madness, the one time readers can choose who is fugger, Brittney or Jessica, Paula Abdul or Janet Jackson. A little bit of democracy is nice on a site that doesn't allow comments and occasionally has polls. Fug Madness is done in March Madness fashion, where 64 stars battle it out to see who is the fuggest. I say, way more fun than basketball!



This year's list is impressive. You can follow along and vote for who wore it the worst in '08. My bet is Lindsey, but she faces some tough competitors.
