Cardigan Giveaway

Monday 17 December, 2012 / Fashion / Comments are closed

you may remember the last wildly popular giveaway i did with NY based knitwear brand Cardigan – well here’s your chance to enter another! and this time we’re giving the guys a chance to get their hands on some too :)

A Cardigan can change an outfit in an instant, dress you up or dress you down, and most of all keep you warm. It can be worn as a sweater, jacket, suiting, or outerwear. There’s the everyday staple, the beat up favorite, and the one we wish we could replicate or buy instantaneously in every color. Cardigans are timeless and sentimental.Cardigan by Lynne Hiriak is a singular knitwear concept dedicated to the eponymous item. While designing for the likes of Michael Kors, Derek Lam and other well respected global brands, one constant remained—the request for more cardigans. Cardigan intends to explore and push the boundaries of one limitless item.

all you have to do to enter is [1] like Cardigan on facebook and [2] go browse around Cardigan and tell me what your favourite item is – in the ladies‘ or men’s department – and that’s the one you’ll win.

i’m lucky enough to have a few Cardigan pieces in my cupboard, and they are true staples of wonderful quality. here are some of my personal favourites… (tough to choose just 4, so i’m sure you will have trouble choosing just ONE).

the Lulu Dot Crewneck:

the Sidney Stripe:

the Aimee Zebra Cardigan:

the Madeleine Stripe Dress:

and for the dudes…

the Mitchell Jacquard Crewneck:

the Striped Dean Sweatshirt:

the Karl Scandinavian Crew Charcoal Combo:

the Dean Sweatshirt:

this will be my last giveaway for 2012 - GOOD LUCK!

this giveaway is open to all readers worldwide, but if you are outside the US your package might be subject to your country’s import duties / taxes. giveaway closes Monday 24 December, winner will be drawn at random. if you already like Cardiagn on Facebook you’re still eligible for the giveaway. if you don’t have Facebook just leave a comment telling me what your favourite item is.

Miss Moss: Skinny laMix

if you’re a reader of design & decor blogs or blogs of any kind really (and i assume you are because, well, you’re here) then you’ll probably be familiar with Skinny Laminx. Heather’s wonderful textile & design work is one of our proudest south african exports – and she’s based right here in Cape Town which makes me doubly proud because our city is rad, huh?

so if you follow Skinny Laminx on twitter or facebook you might have seen that their shop on Bree Street is celebrating its first birthday this week. Heather mailed me a little while ago with a cool idea to make a special music mix for the shop in celebration of their birthday (and to spice up the shop’s playlist, which is currently made up of a lot of songs from my mixes – rad!) and i jumped at the chance because i can’t resist a great mix.

but that’s not all. in the spirit of celebration and giving, the Skinny laMix comes with a bonus GIVEAWAY! Heather is giving one lucky reader an Alexander Sack in Pollen Pebble Print (say that three times fast) as pictured above. all you have to do to enter is leave a comment telling me what your favourite song is at the moment. i’ll be closing the giveaway & drawing a winner at random on Monday 17 December, so get commenting!

as for what inspired the mix itself, Heather gave me a pretty great brief:

I’m a sucker for  beardy, Byrdsy men on a harmony, lanky boys with hair in their eyes doing something jangly, and sunny girls singing about trees. You know the kind of thing.

Skinny laMix. download it here*. playlist:

  1. Devendra Banhart – Baby
  2. M.Ward – Chinese Translation
  3. Deer Tick – Art Isn’t Real (City of Sin)
  4. Stornoway – Zorbing
  5. Votiv – Upstairs
  6. The Tallest Man On Earth – 1904
  7. First Aid Kit – Emmylou
  8. Wilco – You And I
  9. The Velvet Underground – Femme Fatale
  10. Kings Of Convenience – Know How
  11. Mumford & Sons – The Boxer
  12. Laura Marling – Rambling Man
  13. Feist – How Come You Never Go There?
  14. Levek – Girl In The Fog
  15. Blitzen Trapper – Lady On The Water
  16. Bowerbirds – Sweet Moment

if you’re after more Skinny Laminx: international readers can shop at etsy, and south africans can order at her local online shop or visit the shop on Bree Street. i have had my eyes on her rough diamond cushion for some time now… oh and i couldn’t end this post without showing you the cute video made to celebrate their birthday:
