Happy Tuesday! Who needs new nail polish? I decided after wearing Butter London’s “Bossy Boots” for a few days that while it’s pretty, it’s just not me, and I will probably NEVER use it again (see my review). And you know how much I hate to have things around that I don’t use, so I decided to give you guys a chance to win it! (this is NOT a brand new bottle – I used it one time for all ten fingers – so if that freaks you out, please don’t enter to win it)

To enter to win this bottle of Butter London nail polish, just leave a comment below with the brand(s)/color(s) of YOUR favorite nail polish OF ALL TIME. I’ll choose a winner using random.org (although if your favorite polish is Chanel’s “Vamp”, I might give you special preference. No, just kidding!) on Friday evening, February 3rd. I will ONLY ship to US addresses – sorry international readers.

I’ll start – while Chanel’s “Vamp” is one of my favorites, I think it’s been surpassed by PARTICULIÈRE the last couple of years. It’s the perfect brown/grey/neutral with just enough interest…

Your turn! What’s your favorite nail polish brand & color?

The giveaway is OVER!! Thanks to everyone for your comments, I am definitely going to try some of the polishes you guys mentioned. According to Random.org, the winner is comment number 31, Lori! Congratulations!

Happy Monday – I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! How about a giveaway to start the week off?

VKOO NYC has generously offered up the Cashmere loop scarf in “fig” to one reader. Isn’t it beautiful?

Last year, VKOO gave away three of these, plus one for myself and I couldn’t love it more. I wear my loop scarf whenever it’s cold enough, and love the interest it gives to any outfit (last seen here, also here, and here…). I never thought I’d wear another scarf but my Virginia Johnson, but now, I’m a loop scarf convert! I think you will be too.

Enter to win the VKOO cashmere loop scarf in “fig” by leaving your name/email in the form below. When you leave your email address you will be agreeing to be added to VKOO’s mailing list. Contest is available to US readers only and a winner will be chosen via random.org next Tuesday, January 17. Good luck!!

It’s the last Gift Guide giveaway!! I hope you’ve had fun I can’t wait to choose the winners; so many of you entered.

Today, I’ve chosen this Karen Kane sweater as the gift idea & giveaway:

I’m in love with the marled/sweatshirt-y look. And it drapes so well, which makes it really flattering on lots of body types. Doesn’t this just look like something you’d want to LIVE in all Winter? I’m pretty sure I would, and I have some ideas on a couple of women who would also love it, do you? Of course, if you win you could always keep it for yourself…

If you can’t wait to win it, or see something else you like at Karen Kane, use code GRECHEN20 for 20% off your order.

Fill out the form below to enter to win this Karen Kane pullover. One winner will get to choose her own size/color. When you leave your email address you agree to be signed up for Karen Kane’s email newsletter. Contest will end on December 22 and a winner will be chosen via Random.org and notified by email on December 23. Good luck!

You may not think this about me, but I love big, colorful earrings. Mostly I love them on other people, but I would love to try a pair for myself. I may not wear them everyday, but for a special occasion? or a night out? I’d love a pair, especially the tiger’s eye version of the Kendra Scott Danielle earrings:

Do you have a girlfriend, or a sister like me? She’d never buy a pair of big, fun, colorful earrings for herself, but she’d love to have a pair? Then this is the perfect earring for her. I’ve seen these in person and while they are large, they’re not overwhelming at all, and the colors are beautiful.

Enter to win a pair below, or buy a pair at StefaniBags.com for 15% off using code grechen15.

Elizabeth & James Sunglasses | ARCADE clutch | Tess Skirt | Ugglebo clogs

Today’s gift idea & giveaway is courtesy of Tess, a wonderful local company designed by my friend Theresa. Theresa’s designs are feminine and vintage-inspired, but still modern and this “Eloise” skirt is one of my favorites.

My friend Joyce tried it on during a studio visit with Tess several months ago and it was stunning on her; so much fun! But it may not be the kind of thing a woman would buy for herself, which is EXACTLY the type of thing I think makes a great gift. Or keep it for yourself if you win, and wear it with a silk blouse and black ankle booties for some edge

Leave your name and email address in the form below to enter to win the Eloise skirt (available in sizes 2-10). When you leave your email address you agree to be added to Tess‘ email newsletter list. Contest ends Friday, December 16th and a winner will be chosen via random.org and notified by email on Monday, December 19th. US entries only please! Good luck!!

Don’t forget to enter to win the other giveaways: ARCADE clutch | Ugglebo Clogs | Elizabeth & James sunnies

For many, many years, I just did not understand the appeal of expensive sunglasses. I’d admire them on others, and think I’d like a pair, but absolutely could NOT spend the money. But now that I have a pair of nice sunglasses (Karen Walker Deep Freeze), I get it. Maybe you’re the same way? or your sister would love a nice pair of sunglasses, but would NEVER spend the money on a pair? Well, it’s your lucky week

The gift guide giveaway today is for this pair of Elizabeth & James “Madison” sunglasses from Hampden Clothing:

I chose this pair for the gift guide because I believe the slightly rounded shape is pretty flattering on any face type, and tortoiseshell frames are way more interesting than simple black or brown.

Want to win a pair? (That’s okay, you can keep them for yourself if you win…) Leave your name and email address in the form below to enter to win. When you leave your email address you agree to be added to Hampden Clothing’s email newsletter list. Contest ends Friday, December 16th and a winner will be chosen via random.org and notified by email on Monday, December 19th. US entries only please! Good luck!!

You didn’t actually think I’d do a gift guide without featuring CLOGS did you?? I know they’re not for everyone, but you never know who you might convert with a great, classic pair. Like the ones at Ugglebo.

I chose this pair, the Minsk, for the gift guide (and giveaway!) because it’s a great, easy pair of clogs, with a heel that’s not too high, and a color that’s perfect for Winter or Spring. And I love the woven detailing on the top (same as my No6 clogs) for something much more interesting than just plain leather.

Ugglebo also has a great selection of clog boots, with shearling & without, on SALE.

Don’t you know someone who’d love a pair of Ugglebo clogs? Would you love a pair?

Fill out the form below to enter to win this pair of Ugglebo clogs (one winner will be chosen; you will be albe to choose your own size in this color, and if this color is sold out, you can choose from another color of the same style). When you leave your email address you agree to be added to Ugglebo Clogs’ email newsletter. One winner will be chosen via random.org and notified by email on Friday, December 16th. Good luck!!

Holiday shopping days are upon us! (or are you finished already?) We really don’t do a lot of gift-giving in my family but it certainly doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy shopping for them, or dreaming about what I’d love to receive And generally that’s how I approach gift-shopping: if I love it, they’ll love it. But also I think of the person and then try to find them something they would love, but never buy for themselves. Voila! The perfect gift.

So, each day for the next week I’ll be featuring my favorite gift pick from Grechen’s Closet partners AND then give you a chance to WIN IT. Today, it’s the orange foldover clutch by ARCADE at ARCADE Boutique.

I’ve featured this lovely clutch before, and now I’m so excited to be able to give one away, thanks to ARCADE!! Although generally I stick with neutral colors for my clothing, I love to carry a colorful bag, and orange is my favorite non-neutral color. The contrasting colors are great, and I love the foldover style; it gives the clutch a bit more interest in my opinion.

I would be super-excited to receive this as a gift, and I know a few people who would love it also. Would you?

Enter to win below – when you leave your email address you are also giving permission for it to be added to ARCADE Boutique’s mailing list. A winner will be chosen with random.org from all the emails collected and notified via email on Friday, December 16. Good luck!

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a great weekend and you’re ready to start the week off with an AMAZING giveaway from VKOO; they’re offering up a Cambridge Cardigan to one reader (your choice of size/color), this week only:

VKOO is the “edgier little sister” brand of Inhabit NY, with the same quality and design elements. I have several VKOO pieces that are in heavy rotation in my closet as soon as the cooler weather comes. In particular, I love their cashmere sweaters because they’re just a bit thinner than some of my Inhabit cashmere – which is better for where I’m living now!

If you’re interested in winning the VKOO Cambridge cardigan (I know you are!), leave your name and email in the form below. The contest is open to US readers ONLY and I will choose a winner from the list of emails via random.org next Tuesday, November 22. When you leave your email below, you will also be signing up for VKOO’s email newsletter list, to which you can opt-out at any time.

Good Luck!!
