It´s taken for ever, but it´s been an incredibly difficult task for both me and Alex & Chloe to pick a winner among all the great submissions. In the end we landed on Elise Tiffin from Canada who created an amazing artwork inspired by the Black Diamonds collection. We feel that she solved the task in a creative and beautiful way and that she truly deserves the Alex & Chloe box set that will be sent to her shortly. Congratulations!

I wish there were more box sets to share though, cause here are just a few of my other favorites.

Today is your last chance to enter the Alex & Chloe contest. Send in your artwork inspired by the Black Diamond collection and get a chance to win a box set of three jewelry pieces! Since we’re dealing with time differences here, I won’t be too fuzzy about setting an exact hour for when your entries have to be in, as long as it’s resonably within the limit. Good luck!

It´s a week into the Alex & Chloe sweepstake which means there´s one week left to submit your work and get your chance to win a box set of three Alex & Chloe necklaces. All submissions are to be sent to hello@stylebytes.net. I have replied to all of those who have already sent in your work, so if you haven´t received a reply you should send it again or leave me a comment here so I can contact you. (You never know what ends up in the spam box these days.)

Keep ´em coming and good luck!

It’s time for the first sweepstake ever on this blog! In collaboration with Alex & Chloe (you know I love their jewelry) you now have the opportunity to get a little in return for faithfully stopping by here every now and then.

Alex & Chloe recently launched their Black Diamonds collection which is quirkier and more beautiful than ever. The price consists of no less than three pieces from this collection - Alex’s Zero Carat Diamond in Silver, Dark Crystal in Gold, and Bermuda Triangle in Black.

To get a chance at winning this box set we want you to submit an artwork that is inspired by the Black Diamonds collection. This can be a photograph, painting, collage, drawing - whatever media you you want. How you want to solve the challenge is completely up to you. You will have two weeks to submit your contribution, which means you will have to submit your artwork within the 10th of March. After that date Alex & Chloe will choose three favorites, so will I, and we’ll choose the winner from there.

All contributions can be sent to hello@stylebytes.net. Please type “Alex & Chloe” in the subject field to make it a little easier for me to sort through the mails. I will let each contestant know I received the mail so if any of you don’t receive a reply you should try sending it again.

I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with - I know there are a lot of creative people out there! Good luck to all of you!

I got a mail a couple of days ago that I had won a pair of shoes in a contest I couldn´t even remember taking part in. So I didn´t click the link as I had two paranoid guys sitting beside me telling me how my Mac could get a virus if I did. I did think it was a little weird trying to scam people with a pair of shoes though, usually there´s millions of dollars involved. Curiosity won at last and I clicked the link only to find out that I actually did enter the contest, it´s just a long long time ago. This contest is at ShuzSociety and is all about designer shoes and each Friday a lucky winner is picked out. I won a pair of Elisa Ferare wedges with a price tag of $670. Below are different shoes from the designer, mine being at the bottom left.

Other winners have ended up with Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Moschino - among others. So now that I know that it works, I will encourage all of you to enter the contest too!

I got a mail about a Levi´s contest, and since we´re already on the subject today I thought I´d check it out. It´s the most fun I´ve had in a while! This quote from the mail explains the deal well:

Star in an ad on the Levi’s website by simply uploading a photo. It’s entertaining — you can try different hairstyles; see your facial expressions change, and even lip sync a Johnny Cash song. And best of all – you’ll look like a jeans model!

Every day between January 8th and 17th, the ad with the most daily views wins a $100 Levi’s gift card. A $300 grand prize goes to the ad with the most views over this period.

Check out my video and make your own here. If I´m lucky I might get my 501´s for free!

I love the jewelry from Anne Maa Designs, especially the rings. Unfortunately it´s a little expensive for me, but Christmas is coming up, so it might be an idea to put on the wishlist. Sign up for the newsletter and get a chance to win a $50 gift certificate.

Go here to get a chance to win $1000 worth of shoes and much more.
