A giveaway?! For 50 whole dollars?! It’s a Christmas miracle!

That’s right. Call me Santa, because I’m going to give someone $50 to buy unique gifts for her loved ones (or for herself). Well, technically Redbubble is the one who was nice enough to sponsor this giveaway, but I arranged the whole thing and made this nifty collage, so I’m like Mrs. Claus or an elf or Rudolph or something.

Redbubble is this super nifty marketplace where you can buy tons of different products featuring designs from artists all over the world. There are so many options, it’s mind-boggling. No matter what your taste is, I can pretty much guarantee there’s a design on Redbubble you will love. Then you can get that design printed on clothing, tote bags, mugs, prints, blankets, phone cases…just to name a few. You’ve seen me wear a shirt from Redbubble here and a tote bag here. The prices are very reasonable, too. A women’s t-shirt is around $25, a baby’s onesie or a throw pillow is around $20, and a mug will run you about $15. And the best part is: you probably won’t ever run in to anyone else with the same t-shirt/onesie/pillow/mug as you. I mean…the person who receives the gift you buy them won’t…right.

Now that I’ve convinced you that Redbubble is worth your attention, enter to win the $50 gift card through the widget below! Redbubble ships internationally, so anyone can enter. You have until the end of the month, and there are lots of ways to enter. Good luck, and may the random person win!

Announcing the April “Looking Lucky” Style Challenge (and giveaway)!

style challenge, outfit ideas, indianapolis boutiques, indianapolis style blogger, givewaway

You know what? It’s been too long since we did a style challenge, don’t you think? I sure do. Let’s do one.

This one is really pretty easy…and fun! My partner in crime style who helped me come up with this idea was Brandi, the owner of Lucky B Boutique here in Indianapolis. Between the two of us, we came up with a list of 10 current trends. The challenge? Interpret each of these trends and use them as “prompts” for 10 different outfits throughout the month of April. The idea isn’t to look like a trend whore, but to mix these trends in with classics and other favorites in your closet.

The best part: If you participate in the Looking Lucky style challenge, a couple of you might be looking extra lucky by the end of it because Lucky B Boutique is going to hand out a few gift cards to their store (which can be used online too)!

Here’s how to participate and be entered to win:

For anyone [with Instagram]:

Whenever you wear an outfit with one of the 10 trends, just post a photo of your look on Instagram. In the caption, say which trend it is and tag: @sarahsreallife @Shop_LuckyB #LookingLucky. Then, Lucky B will pick a favorite each week of April to win a $15 gift card (that’s 4 winners)!

For bloggers:

One blogger has the chance to win a $75 gift card (woot woot)! For this prize, you must complete all 10 trend challenges. And that means 10 different outfits…no cramming 4 of them into one day or anything tricksy like that. You can do them in any order, and you have the whole month to finish! Document your outfits on your fabulous blog, and please link your readers back to this post so they can learn about the challenge and giveaways too. Once you’ve finished all 10, just shoot me an email and tell me where to find them. After April 30, the big winner will be chosen!

Oh, and bloggers, don’t forget to post your Looking Lucky outfits on Instagram too, because you are eligible for the $15 prizes in addition to the $75.

So to recap, I’ll do the math for you. That’s THIRTY days to make TEN outfits, and FIVE winners of shopping money. I have no idea what kind of crazy person wouldn’t do this challenge. Have fun!! Anyone in the world can enter, just keep in mind if you get one of the Lucky B Boutique gift cards, shipping outside the US will cost more.

Last but not least, Brandi is also offering 15% off any $30 purchase from LuckyBBoutique.com during the month of April. Just use the code LOOKINGLUCKY.
