Shabby Apple Giveaway

Dear Readers,

We here at the various headquarters of Fashionable Academics are craving spring or at least spring break.  So we are delighted to announce that Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway.  As many of you know, we are big fans of their women's dresses.  One lucky reader will win the North Shore dress from Shabby Apple's new spring line.

There are three ways to enter:

1. Leave a comment here with a valid email address telling us what your spring break plans are/or would be if you had a spring break for those not in the academy.

2. Leave us another comment letting us know how you would style this dress.

3.  Follow Shabby Apple on Twitter or friend them on Facebook and let us know you did in a third comment.

This giveaway is open to US residents only, with many apologies to our international readers.  We will close the giveaway next Thursday at 11:59 CST and announce the winner on Friday 3/4.  Good luck and thanks for reading, Style Nation!

Great Yoga Giveaway For the Workshop Participants

Photo by Sarah Rhoads.

Friday night I had a great time teaching a little yoga workshop at Northwestern, mostly with newbie yogis. We had a lot of fun trying out the warm up postures from Bikram, meeting each other and sharing what our favorite poses are, and then finishing up class with some great relaxation.

It was beautiful!

Class proved especially helpful because I left with a calm and clear state of mind... only to find a circus of car troubles at home! The Hubs and our friend Nick had suffered a bad jump to the trusty Subaru, so we were racing around trying to decide if we should cab it over to AutoZone, try for a ride, or get another jump. Turns out we have amazing neighbors and we ended up being saved by the lady who's parking spot we stole for a few minutes. She was so kind-hearted and didn't call the tow truck on us, thank goodness!

Anyway, I wanted to offer a sweet little yoga giveaway to all those lovely yogis I met on Friday. If you guys follow the blog, follow me on Twitter, and post a comment below with your contact info, you'll be entered to win:

• An incredible Bandha Yoga anatomy book (wonderful reading before you get started on a safe practice and a great way to protect all your muscles and joints!)
• A copy of Julie Rader's meditation (featuring yoga nidra, which is a 45-minute meditation that makes you feel like you've slept for hours)
• A copy of Maya Fiennes' Kundalini yoga class for detoxing and de-stressing 
• An introduction to your first Bikram class with me! I'll give you helpful tips before class, treat you to a revitalizing VitaCoco coconut water after class, and take you out for coffee afterward to discuss your experience. Doesn't get any better than that!

    

Again, to win please:

• leave a comment below with your name and email
• click "Follow" on the blog
• add me on Twitter!

Thanks and namaste. *Note: you must be a workshop participant from Friday's class to enter.

Fluevog Artwork Giveaway

As you all know, we are huge fans of John Fluevog Shoes here at Fashionable Academics.  We were hoping that we could convince the Fluevogologists to give us a pair of shoes to giveaway here on the blog -- ok, let's be honest, we love you, but if they had given us a pair of shoes or boots, we probably definitely would have kept them.  Although Fluevog Shoes wouldn't give us any funky footwear to giveaway, they did offer two of their amazing posters from their artwork gallery.  Some of this artwork was used in a silent auction at Fluevog's Union Square Opening to benefit a San Francisco charity, DrawBridge, which funds art education programs for homeless children and disadvantaged youth. 

We will choose two winners of this giveaway.  There are three ways to enter this giveaway:

1. Leave us a comment with a valid email, letting us know how you read Fashionable Academics.

2. Visit John Fluevog and leave us a second comment telling us which 'vogs you would buy if you had your druthers (if money were no object).

3. Leave us a third comment, telling us what your favorite kind of Halloween candy is or what you did for Halloween this year.

We'll close this giveaway next Sunday (11/7) at midnight and announce our winners on Monday morning!

Birthday Giveaway Sponsored by Shop Kim Winner

The winner of the lovely ring from Shop Kim is JoAnn of Sidewalk Chalk.

She said, "One tradition is that my mom celebrates my birthday a day early as well, because I was born in the Philippines and it would be my birthday then too because of the 13 hour difference."  JoAnn, I'll be getting in touch with you soon.

I really loved reading all your birthday traditions!  Now I'm off to eat a birthday brunch!  I'll be back later with an outfit post.

Birthday Giveaway Sponsored by Shop Kim

As many of you know, I used to live in Spain, and I specialize in its history.  It is a Spanish custom to treat your friends and co-workers on your birthday.  You might take your friends out to a bar and buy them a round of drinks.  You might bring in candies or cookies or some other treat to work the morning of your birthday to share with your colleagues.  Well, my birthday is a week from today, and it is what we might call (ahem) a milestone year....  While I'm not actually Spanish (or Irish in spite of having a St. Patty's day arrival on this earth), I wanted to share a little bit of this wonderful custom with you.  I'm so excited to be able to do so!

On my birthday, I will select a lucky reader to win this gorgeous ring that the lovely Kim has offered from her Etsy shop.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment with a valid email address on this post by 11:59 pm (EST) on March 16th.  For a second chance to win, leave a second comment telling us what one of your birthday traditions is.  On the morning of my birthday, I will randomly select a winner.

Thanks so much to Kim for sponsoring my birthday giveaway!

Besitos,
La Historiadora de Moda
