GiGi New York…Leather Envelope Clutch Giveaway!!

Uncategorized

April 9, 2012

It’s been quite some time since I’ve hosted a big giveaway, so I thought this would be the perfect time to do so. With so many exciting {and dressy} events coming up, who doesn’t need a clutch to sport with a fun little outfit? Not to mention, I am known as the “bag lady” with my love affair of any type of purse, tote, and handbag.

I was recently sent the gorgeous Leather Envelope Clutch as part of the new GiGi New York line by Graphic Image, and I am loving it…even better, it’s my favorite beloved orange! I cannot wait to use it for our first night on the town post-Caroline this coming weekend! And as any southerner would appreciate, you can personalize it with your monogram, too.
So, Gigi New York graciously offered to give one of their clutches {with free personalization} away to one of my blog friends… woo hoo!
How to enter you ask? Leave a comment following this post telling me all about your favorite purse, and why it’s your “go to”choice. To be eligible, you must be a follower of my blog, and leave a comment before next Monday, April 16th. I’ll announce the winner the next day!

In addition to the giveaway, they have been so kind to offer an exclusive 20% off discount as well…simply input the code: “HAPPINESS” at checkout from either GiGi New York OR Graphic Image.

Interesting in learning more about this wonderful brand? You can sign up to receive emails here, check out their Facebook page here, or follow them via Twitter.
Good luck everyone and thanks for playing!

    My favorite purse in a tan leather crossbody. My mom and sister gave it to me for Christmas and I love that it is so versatile. It matches any style I may choose for the day, and it is so easy to slip my necessity in and throw it over my shoulder!

  2. Arielle says:

    My favorite purse is my Michael Kors! I love it! :)These are really cute!!

  3. My favorite bag is Maxx NY bag. I have used it so often though that my husband has asked me to get a different bag. This one is brown suede and has a great crossbody strap.

    My favorite purse, right now, is my Michael Kors! It's a perfect tan color for Spring and very roomy!

  5. Amanda says:

    My favorite purse is my newest Vera Bradley bag, purchased for me by my husband for Christmas. It is one of the new "vintage" looking bags, with a change-purse clasp at the top. It's soooo roomy that I can fit anything and everything inside and I love the vintage feel!

  6. Stephanie says:

    I love Longchamps bags! They are lightweight and come in beautiful colours, and they are easy to travel with! They also come in a variety of shapes and sizes and I love them all!! I'm in the need of a good clutch though 😉

    I would have to say my Longchamp is my favorite. It can fit my laptop, lunch, gym clothes, etc. All of the necessities and more. Great giveaway!

  9. Erin says:

    My favorite purse is my Longchamp. I have worn it just about every day since I got it for Christmas in 2010! It holds everything and anything you would ever need. I definitely need some color in my wardrobe though and this bag would do the trick perfectly, super cute!

  10. Oh this is such a great giveaway! My all-time favorite is my black Ecko Red…perfect for most seasons. Right now I'm loving the hot pink bag I found this weekend – it's such a summer purse and it has a giant bow on it!

  27. Lena says:

    I love purses and am having a hard time picking out a favorite to describe here. It all depends on my mood – sometimes I like them big with lots of room, other times I prefer little ones that only fit my wallet, phone, keys, and a lipgloss…
    Good luck to me!

  28. Erin says:

    Oh how I love handbags as well. Quite an obsession of mine. My favorite right now is my MZ Wallace Kate bag. I love big bags that I can throw everything from my wallet to my planner in while still having room for my water bottle. I got this bag as a Christmas gift with the the intention that it's going to be my diaper bag come a month or so (can't give up a good handbag and trade in for a diaper bag! I had to have a diaper bag that I would love to carry!). It's beautiful with the perfect amount of flare that can be wiped down to keep clean.

  33. Army Wife RN says:

    My favorite in my Coach Maggie bag that I got last fall. The colors (navy, silver, purple) go with almost every things in my wardrobe so it is perfect for everyday. I do love that orange leather envelope clutch though!

  101. My favorite purse would actually have to be from a no name designer and I cant even remember where I got it! Its a deep plum with a snake texture to it, and of course it is huge! I have carted this thing as.a carry-all all over the world. From Paris to London to Hawaii and it is perfect to haul all my essentials while still staying totally adorable!!
