GIVEAWAY: Free Passes to Bloggers United's "INDIE FRIDAYS" on Feb. 24

From the makers of the very successful Bloggers United Bazaar, Bloggers United is back with a new project this 2012 - INDIE FRIDAYS!

Indie Fridays is an event that aims to provide a platform for independent and promising young individuals in the field of fashion, music, film and art to showcase their gift and creativity. The social media community is teeming with undiscovered talents and we at Bloggers United would like to empower the generation of today in giving them exposure outside the world wide web for them to have that moment to truly shine or simply vent out their love for their craft.

The idea is to offer every Friday at Ponticiello as a venue for:

• Youtube artists or starting musicians to play for live audience
• Launching a collection of new designers, products or a new brand in fashion 
• Photographers and filmmakers to display their works or exhibit their portfolios

We will be launching the event this Friday, Feb 24, 2012 (9PM onwards) at Il Pointicello featuring Walkie Talkies, DJ Boom of 91.5 Big Radio and a few other surprise guests. We plan to do it for February and if the outcome becomes positive like Bloggers bazaar, we can keep this going for some time.

If you have friends starting in film, fashion, photography or music that are interested to be a part of the event, feel free to let us know: bloggersunited@ymail.com

I'm giving away free entrance passes!

Mechanics:
1) Like Indie Fridays on Facebook
2) Share our event poster on Facebook (link here)
3) Tweet about the event! Make sure you tag @bloggers_united and use the hashtag #IndieFridaysBU
4) Comment below with your name, e-mail, FB post link and tweet link!

Contest ends on Feb 16 at 12 noon. I'll announce the winners at the same day, 7PM!

10 winners will get 2 free entrance passes each! See you!

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2012 Giveaway Winners!

Before 2011 ended, I had a thanksgiving giveaway for the year that was. The goal was to share to my readers the simple but special treats that I've had because of blogging. Thank you to everyone who joined. I appreciate your entries. 

It took me about three weeks to sort all entries because I've been checking each and every entry. Of course, it is only fair that I award the items to the people who truly deserve to win. Good thing I also double checked because I found a few who have not really 1) done the additional entries and/or 2) lacking in the steps that they said they've accomplished.

I would like to congratulate the winners of this giveaway! You were all picked via random.org. I checked, and yes, you've done everything posted on your comments, *clap, clap*. I will notify you guys via e-mail and I hope when your packages come, you'd love items that you'll be receiving. :)

Blah, blah, all talk. I know you want me to skip this part already! Haha, excited much? Okay ito na mga teh!

*Drum roll*

3rd Prize: Kritz Villegas
(Surprise consolation prize coming your way!)

2nd Place: FBTL Manila

1st Place: Gizelle Alfonso

Congratulations to all the winners!!! I'm happy for you guys! Happy 2012! I wish you luck continues throughout the year! Everyone, till my next giveaway/s! Madami pang susunod (there'll be more to come)!

CLOSED: Giveaway Palooza!

One of the best things about being a blogger is getting some items that you can share with other people. Sooobrang tagal ko na gusto magshare ng items to my readers but I was really busy. Even though I get to update my blog, my priority is posting real entries and last on my list is having a giveaway so I tend to postpone it every time an event or outfit post comes up. I've been trying to avoid or at least minimize my backlogs because I get crazy when there's too many catching up to do. 

It took me a while to look at my giveaway pile because taking photos can be time consuming but I finally had the opportunity to sort them out!

From the bottom of my heart, I'd really like to thank all the readers and visitors of Style and Soul. I tend to be an irregular blogger, but some of you still actually take your precious time on this blog. As much as I can, I really try to inject my "soul" (at least in small dosages) in every post because I want you to take something from this blog every after you read it. 

I may not reply all the time, I may not be the sweetest, I may not be the most updated, I may not be the most fashionable or the prettiest; but I want people to know that I really, really, appreciate all of you - regular reader or random visitor alike.

If this is too cheesy for you, then let's proceed to the giveaway! Yehey!

Here's a full list of what you'll be getting if you win:

• Celeteque skin care products
• Human Nature spray
• Nivea "Express Hydration" sachets
• Ory Spa solid perfume
• Garnier "Light" sachets
• Kojic Soap
• Swatch gift items
• Red Mango's limited edition bowl
• Memo wallet
• Cebu Pacific purse
• Proactive Solutions beauty kit
• ETC Glam Camp's eco bag
• Lipton "Yellow Label" tea supply
• Wheat Grass drinks (in different variants)
• FArt (Fashion Art) mini eco purse
• School & office supplies from: National Book Store (notebook, pens, cases), Mang Inasal, Smart HTC, Toys R Us, T.O.P.S
• Gift certificates from: Sparkle free massage, Galileo free math/english enrichment classes, Lay Bare free waxing, Avira antivirus protection card, P3,500 from Creative Voices

Mechanics are really simple:

1. Follow Style and Soul on GFC.

2. After doing everything, go to Style and Soul's facebook page and comment here with your name and e-mail address!

Additional points:

+2 Reblog this post

+1 Follow Style and Soul on Twitter

+1 Follow Style and Soul on Tumblr

+1 Follow Style and Soul on Lookbook
+1. Follow Blogapalooza on Twitter

+1. Tweet: "Join @thestyleandsoul's Giveaway Palooza!"

You are invited: Hang Ten Special Event

Hello friends, and blog readers!

I got an invite to "The Hang Ten Special Event" this coming Sunday at the Mall of Asia from 2PM - 4PM and we were asked to bring a blogger friend/reader with us. I've met fellow bloggers and readers during events but this is going to be a special one because we are going together there as "buddies". Exciting di ba?

You know, let me share with you my story. I was once a big fan of Aisa when I started blogging last year. She had an event similar to this courtesy of Robinsons Department Store. I applied to be the reader that she would bring and I got picked! And so, we were teamed up and we styled ourselves using pieces (clothes, accessories, etc) from Robinsons, and even though we didn't win the challenge, we ended up being really good blogger friends - close enough that we started Bloggers United together and that we've been sharing a lot of opportunities because one event made it all happen.

The Robinsons event was a breakthrough for me. And I'm really thankful that it was one of the firsts that launched so many blessings that blogging has brought me. I want to make it happen for you too. :) Let's go together at Hang Ten's first-ever blogger event! We'll style a mannequin together and if we win, we'll receive fabulous prizes. Not only that, we'll also get to meet more bloggers and have some food and drinks with them. Sounds super fun right even if we don't win? Haha.

Just let me know if you want to come. :) I'll pick one of you guys by Friday (tomorrow). And if you don't get raffled off, don't worry, I told myself that from the list that will join this, I'll bring them next time to other events in the future.

• If you're a follower of Style and Soul on GFC / Bloglovin
• If you've liked Hang Ten on Facebook and followed on Twitter
• Then simply tweet "I want to go to the @HangTenPH event with @thestyleandsoul" (or whatever just tag us).
• That will be your entry and I'll list it down, raffle via random.org and announce the winner and will contact him/her on twitter for more details. :)

Can't wait to go with you! :)

GOLD DOT GIVEAWAY WINNER!

If I were to win the P1,000 worth of gift certificate from GOLD DOT, I would probably get:

1) Authentic Cambridge satchels that the brand is distributing now. They have a lot of yummy colors and sizes available.

2) Shoes from their previous collection.

3) Have myself custom made shoes.

4) Designs from the July collection!

4) Or for more, the luscious footwear of the past collections that are finally on SALE! I was ecstatic when I saw them on 40% - 50% off. Most of them are now sold for P1,000+ and I've been thinking about getting either the Bobbie wedges or the Brittany pumps. Hmmm. What do you guys think? To my winner, I hope you got a few ideas on what to buy for yourself since you're getting a P1,000 slash of the price of any of your GOLD DOT purchase. That would be a huge discount!

So congratulations to you...
ANNA ALEXIS PALASPAS

(CLOSED) GIVEAWAY: Happy anniversary GOLD DOT!

Gold Dot, a local brand selling fashion-forward footwear, is celebrating its first year in the business. Since its breakthrough July of last year, the golden brand has brought to the table a collection of statement heels, boots, wedges and alternatives to trendy designer shoes.

After a year in the fashion industry, Gold Dot has thrived successfully because of its generous owner-designer Ms. Ally Duazo, who has been very supportive of the local blogging community; not to mention her ability to come up with kick-ass shoes!

Because of its quality and unique style, Gold Dot shoes may be a bit (just a lil bit) pricey for some budget fashionistas out there. Great news! After giving away P1,000 worth of GC during my blog birthday giveaway, for GD's anniversary, I'm giving away another P1,000 worth of GC courtesy of Gold Dot!

Imagine that's P1,000 off the price tag for you! Especially if you want to purchase Gold Dot's anniversary shoe collection. Here are some of the campaign photos featuring amazing bloggers from the fashion community.

Mike Magallanes of Toxic Disco Boy

Karl Leuterio of Totally Inkarlcerating

Lloyda Lim of Fashionista Fortune Cookie

Kookie Buhain of Death by Platforms

You may also use the free GC not just for the new designs but also for the old ones that you've been eyeing for so long!

Winning is simple:
1) Like/add Style and Soul and Gold Dot on facebook
2) Create a blog entry promoting Gold Dot's new website (http://golddot.com.ph), anniversary collection using their campaign photos (like the one I used above) and don't forget to mention the giveaway!
3) Paste the link of your entry on the comment box below and include your name and e-mail address.

Optional entries:
1) One additional entry for each account if you are a follower of Style and Soul on Blogger, Bloglovin', Lookbook, Tumblr, Twitter, Chictopia and F-STOP on facebook!
2) Spread the word on your twitter and facebook walls to increase your chances of winning (make sure you tag Style and Soul)!
3) Another entry for those who reblogged my giveaway teaser (way back) and/or will reblog my giveaway post on tumblr.

Terms and conditions:
Deadline of submission of entries is on August 6, 2011. This contest is open to local and international readers. I will be cross-checking all entries so make sure everything that you follow mechanics! Good luck everyone! :)

FINALLY: Blogoversary winner + blog updates

Dress and hat F-STOP (Fashion Stop) SHOP VINTAGE | Belt Thrifted | Boots Thrifted

This announcement is a month-old late. I know, all the excitement about my blog anniversary giveaway has died down and I apologize to all my readers who waited patiently and enthusiastically to find out who my winners are.

Before I declare the lucky chosen three, I would like explain why I took a month-long break. As much as I hate to be defensive, I can't help it since I've gotten touching mails from readers who really missed me and my blogging. Honestly, the choice was really difficult for me to make but it was the most sensible thing to do because all the stress and pressure that I've undergone from organizing the recently concluded Bloggers United Bazaar (BUB) had me burnt out, exhausted and uninspired to blog.

Since I value quality over quantity and ratings, I would definitely feel guilty and unsatisfied if I blog about style but without the soul that I usually put in my entries. Style and Soul has always aspired to make a difference and that's not going to happen if I sacrifice the standard of writing that I've always set for myself.

For the month of May, I've set my priorities straight and that was to focus and dedicate myself to working my ass off just to make sure that we don't screw up BUB. We are only three in our team (with Aisa and Ana) and we had to get the job done as if we were 10 in the group. It was a make or break moment, since there was a lot of hype about the event, many were counting on it, it was a trending topic on twitter and the expectations that we had to meet are as high as the sky.

After the event's huge success, after all the compliments and kind words, I really feel blessed and thankful to the Lord and to all our supporters for making our own sacrifices and hard work all worth it. We're now reaping the fruits of our labor and I'm just thankful that we managed to survive our first-ever experience of producing an event.

Again, thank you to all my supportive, loyal, patient and understanding readers and F-STOP clients. I've lost touch and lacked updates; I know, I know. But I really plan on making up for it. I don't want to promise anything but I want to give back to everyone who has always been there for Style and Soul.

Thank you for all the love despite the long wait and I welcome you guys back to the blog that you've always loved. I love you all!

Winning entry:
Perhaps, the best thing that this blog brings is a dose of fashionable ups and downs. While fashion blogs are usually centering on fanciful posts, you always inject an emotion, a learning, a random thought, or even a seemingly senseless line or two. Such encounters make me (and the rest of your readers) feel you in a "more real" sphere, basically because we can relate, and translate.

Going over a number of your entries I like, I have to give your LIVING WITHOUT RULES my two thumbs up for it's candid, surprisingly poignant, and very inspiring. I guess that people our age always have these thought bubbles that float inside us, above us, and below us. We tend to think, not think, and rethink, all at the same time, all at an alarmingly short span of time. We are often too caught up with our passions, and what we think are passions are, only to wake up one day, and realize that such passions pull us down, and drag our feet.

Thank you for representing the whims and wishes of twenty-something people who are ecstatic to get their lives rolling, in spite the tough curves and unforeseen detours. Thank you for giving light to those who've spent their lives shooting down goals, only to come to a halt. Thank you for taking time to share your weaknesses that are the same hurdles that typical young adults face. And most of all, thank you for inspiring me (and a good number of your readers), the inverted idealism way. What I've learned (or should I say re-learned) from your post:To keep going forward, to keep wishing, to continue aiming, and to never lose the faith in fate. :) I want to see a TOGA FASHION post soon!

Congratulations to all my winners!
