sk*rt's Brightside Contest

Fun things I found on sk*rt this past week: First Kiss Stories. 10 Reasons to Drink More Water. Songza: type in a song and it will play it for you. Asian iCandy Store — I especially love this one. It's an online shop full of products by Asian artisans and designers. Lots of great stuff. Guide to Blind Hemming Jeans. And. Best of all, there's a new sk*rt contest with over $500 worth of great prizes.

A grand-prize winner will receive:



1) A personalized hardback copy of The Bright Side of Disaster signed by author Katherine Center directly to you. (Remember Katherine — the fantastic Guest Mom that visited us awhile back?) The two book covers shown here are the hardcover that came out last year, and the paperback that comes out in April.



2) One Stuck on You Essentials Pack.
The Essential Pack from Stuck on You includes 50 Large Iron/Sew On labels (Navy, Red or Pink), 20 Vinyl Shoe Dots (Pink, Green, Redm Blur, Silver, Purple or Orange) 50 Small Vinyl Labels (Retro, Funky, Clear or Pink) and 2 Bag Tags (of winners choice). Labels for everything your child owns.


3) The Peanut Shell Family Pack with three fabulous products:
For maternal types, The Mojito: A Must-Have Limited edition Peanut Shell sling! Super smooth cotton with a chocolate background and fresh lime paisley print. We LOVE it and you will too! For the paternal types that help carry the load, The Temptation: A wonderful dark chocolate brown cotton stretch sling. Super perfect, with 3% lycra, allowing the sling to give a bit to make it easier getting baby in and out and mold to your shoulder! Also, this one’s definitely for mom: The Mojito Nursing Cover — too coordinate perfectly with your sling.



4) A $150 gift certificate from Zutano
From newborns to toddlers, cozies to collectibles, and toys! Zutano has the cutest, softest, coolest, snazziest things. And you can win $150 to spend however you’d like! Zutano is one of my all-time favorite lines.



5) An Ann Taylor LOFT Maternity gift certificate for $100
As we’re sure you know, Ann Taylor LOFT features updated classics that are feminine, stylish, and polished. Now the company has taken another step forward in outfitting women in every stage (and size!) of their lives by taking the look and feel of favorite LOFT styles and re-designing them to make maternity wear that is super cute, comfortable, and stylish. Thank goodness for the brilliant minds behind stylish maternity clothes.

Extra bonus: any sk*rty sk*rts who live in the U.S. or Puerto Rico can get, 20% off plus Free Shipping at Ann Taylor LOFT through February 29th with this coupon code: EXPECTING (The code is case sensitive so the code needs to be entered in all caps when it asks for the promotion code in checkout.)

6) Plus. And this is a big plus. Fifty people will receive a free copy of The Brightside of Disaster by Katherine Center and be invited to participate in a Virtual Book Club coming up in April. A podcast hosted by sk*rt and featuring the Katherine Center herself.

Pretty fantastic contest don't you think? Find out how easy it is to enter (really, really easy) here or here.
