The giveaway is now OVER, and congratulations to commenter #31 as chosen by random.org….Mamavalveeta03!!!! (FYI, I count the comments from the backend, and skipped over mine)
First, this is MY OWN bag I’m giving away. I’ve only used it twice, so it’s not showing any signs of wear or use at all. It’s a fabulous bag, but no matter how much I always want a gray bag, I never end up using it…so I’d rather it go to a good home 😉
Here it is on the Topshop website, but in black. And below are pictures of the actual bag I’m giving away:
And on me, so you can get a better idea of the size:
So, to enter to win, all I’m asking is that you leave a comment about how much you love Grechen’s Closet 😉 no, not really. I’d love any constructive criticism, suggestions, comments on what you like here, what you don’t like, etc. Just leave some meaningful feedback if you please.
You can also re-tweet the contest via the button just below (hit “retweet”) and you’ll get an extra entry. But you MUST come back and leave a comment that you tweeted to be entered again. I’ll choose the winner randomly from the comments next Tuesday, June 8. Oh, and this is open to US-based participants only. I gotta ship it 🙁
Thanks for playing 🙂
Honestly, there is nothing I don’t LOVE about your site! Thank you!!! 😀
I love your blog and I love interacting with you on Twitter. I find you to be kind, approachable, and super-stylish!!! 😉 Now give me that handbag!

lovely site, i have no criticism that i can think of 😉 and that shade of grey is amazing!
I love reading your blog cos I love seeing fashion for people who aren’t a size 0!
For years I have followed your blog, and I love your love of all things James Perse! I think my favorite part of your site are the comprehensive coupon codes. The only thing I would like to see more of are your outfits- they give me inspiration in my own Anthropologie filled closet!
With two kids in college, I’ve put myself on a buying ban. For now, I’ve been immediately deleting (without reading) all my sale alert emails, sample sale calendars, and fashion blog newsletters.
The only reason I’m here commenting is because Grechen’s Closet is the one exception to my ban. Grechens Closet is more than shopping and more than bargains. It’s a place I visit for inspiration, ideas, and, of course, to lust after the latest AW studded beauty. Go without my Grechen fix? NEVER!!
I’ve been a Grechenscloset fan for a couple years now and love how it’s grown over the years. Thank you for great giveaway! =)
I retweeted too! My Twitter username is Yoonmeeshops. =)
Grechen,
I love your site for your modeling pics of your outfits, great finds, and awesome deals. You’ve introduced me to new labels and merchants alike, although my wallet does not thank you for that, lol! I get a lot of mail but yours is one of the first I click without fail.
The only thing I’d like to see changed is the timing of the some emails I receive from you. Specifically, for some reason, your blog emails get to me the next day, e.g. 6/1/10 12:54pm blog email was received 6/2/10 5:06am. I don’t seem to have any timing issues on your “deals” email, though. I’m not sure why…
Keep up the great work! You’re doing a fantastic job!
I love reading Grechen’s Closet and my favorite part are the photos you post of yourself wearing your finds.
I visit your website often. I like your reviews of shoes especially. I also like the local stories you tell about your city and what’s going on locally. Although I live on the West Coast, it reminds me that you can always find great things in your own backyard.
What a cool giveway, BTW.
You know how to make a girl’s heart beat faster!!! One look at that bag, and I’m drooling (I feel my competitive side coming out…). I love your website because you’re REAL, and because I can relate to you. Your kindness and sense of humor always come out in your writing and that is SO refreshing on the blog scene today (there’s too much meanness out there because people can be anonymous). And, last but certainly not least: you post some of the coolest fashions out there and they’re actually WEARABLE!! (as a plus, I’ll give you an extra point for getting me hooked on James Perse and clogs!!! lol).
I RT’d (mamavalveeta03)
<3 your blog & i follow you on twitter 🙂 really enjoy reading/seeing pics of the clothes you are wearing. keep up the good work!!
I have followed your blog for years, and my love of James Perse has been strengthened by yours! I especially enjoy seeing your outfits and reviews. I have a million ways to use a gray bag… hope it’s me!
This is my all time go to website to search for my favorite brands!!Thanks! You are the best!:)
I have always loved your blog, I remember panicking years ago after I lost the link and had to ask for it on Luxlook. (Remember that forum!?)
Anyways, if I had to change anything, I’d just want you to post more outfits. We have the same taste in clothes and CLOGS and I enjoy seeing what you put together.
I also love love love your coupon code section. I never make a purchase without checking it out! Keep it up, you rock!

Dear Gretchen’s Topshop Leather Bag,
I’ve admired your studded-booty for some time now, but sadly, only from afar:/ I must say, your current owner has some killer taste and also, I’ve been thinkin’….You should REALLY consider relocating to New Mexico. I know we’re known for our chili here, but you’re stylin’ and I thinking you can help me spice things up here! We NEED you here; you’re beautiful! I promise to feed you a while assortment of yummy lip gloss, coins, and hand sanitizer. Please consider my offer. You won’t be disappointed:) Oh, and please let your current owner know, both that I’m a new and avid fan to her blog, and that you’ll most certainly be in the best of hands.
Love,
Your hopeful and admiring NM fan
Gretchen!! I had to post again because after reviewing your leather bag style, you seriously have me wishing I was either your annoying roommate that “borrows” your bags when you’re not looking or, your annoying little sister that begs to “trade” for some crappy plastic knock-off until you give in to penniless pathetic butt!! Hee, hee! Anyway, I must say again, I love your taste:) Cheers to sweet big sisters, tolerant roommates, and chicas with style!!!
Er, make that Luxe Lounge, not luxlook, LOL.
Thank you for the new outfit post!
YES!!! luxury fashion, right? wow…that was a LONG time ago 🙂
Your blog is one of the few that I follow! Thanks for posting about different sales and brands!
Eek! Gorgeous! I love your blog… and I love that you share my love for a good sale!!
I love that grey color! The studs on the bottom are beautiful too! I don’t have anything from Topshop and that would look great in my collection 😉
I really enjoy that you have the hits of this week’s sample sales up and nicely laid out. I hate having to check each site (and my email is FULL of emails about them – it’s hard to keep them straight), so I really enjoy having them laid out like you do! xo
.-= birdie´s last blog ..KURT at the Seattle Art Museum =-.
Your site is amazing – all of them are! They are so helpful, and I love the fact that your sites are for REAL women, not for women who have unlimited budgets for fashion.
Keep up the good work!

love the giveaways
I tweeted, too!

I love your site. There is nothing off the top of my head that I can critique. Always love sections on great looks for less money! and love the “real” women fit reviews.
Gretchen, I love reading your blog and look forward to your weekly emails. This week you actually alerted me to a fab sale on Seychelles shoes on Gilt before I even got the Glit email! I was ready to check it out as soon as it started. Thank you so much for your hard work.
I love your personal style! It’s much like mine, casual and comfortable. I like that you mix more expensive items with less expensive ones. Keep posting outfits of the day, I’m always curious to see what you come up with! I particularly love your shoes and bags. 🙂
Love your site and whats not better then a giveaway love this purse
I adore your site! The shops, the tutorials and your giveaways are fabulous.
Keep up the great work…Thanks for the opportunity to win your lovely
purse!

Again, thanks very much…

So glad that you finally did another outfit post…love those! The only thing I find consistently disheartening are the shoe posts. Such great choices, yet so few go beyond a 10 (especially when one must size up!)
I enjoy your site and your emails. I appreciate that you don’t bombard me/us with tons of emails on a regular basis. No real criticism to speak of. 😉
I like your casual style and your sample sale picks, which really just means that I’m too lazy to check all these sites myself, just when I see a brand I like highlighted in your emails. Also, love the coupon codes, your site is really useful!
I really think you have great taste in things–nice bag–and in super coupon codes for stuff I also really want to own. Here’s hoping I finally get lucky on one of these things.
I also like the outfit posts! And reviews. It’s helpful to know the truth before clicking to buy something…
I really love the coupon codes on the site. 🙂 As for constructive crit…hmm. Well, I love the design of the site *except* for the pink, but that’s just a quirk of mine. I don’t like pink. 😛
I just retweeted, Grech. Wish me luck!
Oh, and I’d love you to do a run through of your skin care recommendations one day. Your complexion glows.
First of all, I love your site! I especially appreciate how you are able to incorporate timeless basics into all of your outfits to look fashionable without looking too “trendy.” I would definitely like to see more reviews in the future, and I also hope you will continue posting your eco-friendly finds (Green Grechen is awesome)!
