Booze News: Domaine Carneros’ “Bubbly Handbag Style” Twitter Contest

 

This Win is In the Bag…

I often say I’m living la vida sparkly, and that’s because I have an affinity for shimmer, sparkles and shine. I bet you do too… at least a little bit… C’mon admit it, you have at least one pair of metallic, sequined or glittered shoes. OK, now that we’re on the same page… Domaine Carneros is celebrating those of us who appreciate sparkling- in our lifestyle, on our feet and ESPECIALLY in our glass. The California based sparkling wine brand recently announced a fun Twitter contest, which invites entrants to show their “bubbly handbag style” by tweeting photos to @DomaineCarneros. The best photo gets a Domaine Carneros gift certificate valued at $250. I can’t enter, of course, but I did take a photo of one of my favorite bags (gifted from ShoeDazzle), my sparkly "Trance" sandals by Chinese Laundry that I got on clearance at Nordstrom Rack last year and a glass of bubbly to post on Instagram and Twitter as an example.

Here’s how you enter, though:

1. Follow @DomaineCarneros on Twitter.

2. Take a photo of you with your favorite handbag incorporating the bubbly lifestyle, i.e. a glass of sparkling wine, Domaine Carneros bottle or images. Get creative and truly capture your unique style in the photo!

3. Tweet your photo to @DomaineCarneros via www.Twitter.com/DomaineCarneros and include #bubblyhandbagstyle to complete your entry.

Heart & Sole: Garcelle Beauvais x ShoeDazzle to Help Erase MS

 

Multiple Sclerosis affects close to two million Americans, primarily between the ages of 20 and 40, and at almost three times as many women as men. Nancy Davis, who was diagnosed with MS in 1993, founded the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis in an effort to treat and eventually cure the chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system. This year, ShoeDazzle is partnering with with the foundation for the second time, and actress Garcelle Beauvais has signed on as a celebrity guest designer. Available exclusively on ShoeDazzle.com on May 14th for $39.95 with 100% of profits going to the Nancy Davis Foundation, the “Ms. Glam” wedge is in Spring 2012’s hottest hue (which also happens to be the official color of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness). As part of the “Orange You Happy to Erase MS” campaign, “Ms. Glam” will be among other orange products by popular designers featured in the Shop to Erase MS Collection. Also, ShoeDazzle will make an additional $5 donation for each new client who joins the site using the special code “MSGLAM” between May 14th and June 14th. I actually have two friends living thriving with MS, so I’m really happy to share this opportunity to not only get in step with one of this season’s biggest trends, but also help fund research to cure this disease.

Heart and Sole: Jenny McCarthy & ShoeDazzle Partner to Help Children with Autism

 

Fearless Fashion

In honor of Autism Awareness Month, ShoeDazzle has partnered with Jenny McCarthy for its “Celebrity Shoe Design Program for Charity.” McCarthy’s design, the “Fearless” shoe, will be available exclusively on ShoeDazzle.com as of Thursday, April 21 with all profits from its sale going to Generation Rescue. An organization dedicated to recovery and support for children with autism, Generation Rescue provides families in need with guidance on ways to directly improve their quality of life. McCarthy, whose son, Evan, was diagnosed with Autism in 2005, serves as the president of Generation Rescue and has written a book about the cause.

The “Fearless” pump, with it’s studs, sky high heel and tall platform has a tough, yet versatile look. “We all need to be fearless in our lives- whether it’s standing up for a meaningful cause or just being bold in our fashion choices,” says McCarthy. Here’s to hoping most of my readers do both! FYI- ShoeDazzle will also donate $5 to Generation Rescue for each new client that joins the community and uses the code “JENNY” between April 1 and May 10.

Almost There Thursday: ShoeDazzle Beth Bootie

A Story of Strength

Your week's been tough, and you may need to pull strength from another source to finish it out. If you buy the "Beth" bootie from Shoe Dazzle (you know, Kim Kardashian's shoe shopping community site), you'll not only channel the inner strength of Breast Cancer survivor, Beth Martinez, but also help in the search for a cure to Breast Cancer. For the month of October, 10% of the sales from this chic faux suede bootie will go to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Their simple styling and moderate heel make them easy to wear with lots of looks, so their a great work-to-play shoe.

At happy hour tonight, an Absolut Bramble or two (or four) will relieve the tensions of the last four days so you can deal with the ones you encounter tomorrow. It combines Absolut Vodka, lemon juice, Creme de Mure (French blueberry liqueur), simple syrup and a blackberry garnish. It's sweet, complex and calming. However, as with all drinks, enjoy it in moderation.
