$100 gift from MyHabit - just in time for Christmas!


When offered the chance to give away a $100 voucher for MYHABIT, I'm afraid I hesitated for a millisecond for selfish reasons.  I am a big fan of MYHABIT, and always look forward to their daily emails, telling me what sales they have on that day.  I already made my first purchase from them a couple of months ago, and my favourite sales featured on their website include Preen, Peter Som, Doo.Ri and Derek Lam.  My selfish reason? Wanting to keep this gem of a sales website to myself, haha! 

But of course, that fleeting moment soon passed, as it is too fab a website not to share! MYHABIT is a private sale site from Amazon.com, that offers up to 60% off designer brands, not just for women's fashion, but also men's, kids and homewares (including furniture, which sadly for me cannot be shipped internationally).  International shipping to Oz only cost me $15! Can you believe it? And for the lucky people in the US, shipping is free!

So just in time for Christmas, MYHABIT, is offering Brigadeiro readers a chance to win $100 to spend on their website!

To enter the $100 giveaway, just post a comment about your favourite holiday outfit from myhabit.com.  Mine is this simply elegant dress by Erin Fetherston for just $99!


In addition to this giveaway you can also 'like' MYHABIT on Facebook and enter for a chance to win a $2,000 giftcard and $365 credits of mp3 songs in the Holiday Songbook Sweeps.

Don't forget to include your email in your comment below (or you can email me your email address if you would like to keep that private).  Entries close next Wednesday, 19th of December.  Good luck to you all!

Kate Bosworth's Winter Wonderland for Topshop


It is crazy scary that Christmas is around the corner, where did the year go (and most noticeably, the last few months)?  As if this time of year isn't crazy enough, we have added moving house to the mix, just for fun (not!).  So in the midst of panicking, and attempting to pack, it was nice to see this little video of Kate Bosworth for Topshop, as she channels Michelle Pfeiffer in 'The Fabulous Baker Boys" singing 'Winter Wonderland', putting me in a more festive (momentarily slightly less stressed) mood:

It has inspired me to play some Christmas music as I chip away at the momentous task of trying to declutter and pack 7 years worth plus of accumulated 'junk'. HELP!
