I never usually enter blogger competitions, but I couldn’t resist the lure of Money Supermarket’s latest ‘Passion for Fashion’ challenge. The rules are simple: create three outfits for under £200 based around three areas: casual wear, party wear and holiday wear. There’s a blogger judging panel (hi guys! LOVE YOU!!!) and prizes will be awarded for each category, plus a grand prize for the best set.

Win the INES Collection Graphic Pop dress!

The response to my review of two pieces from INES Collection got some great feedback both through the comments and on twitter, and it wouldn’t surprise me if a few of you haven’t already taken advantage of that amazing 40% off code and bought some of their printastic items already. If not, you might fancy throwing your name in the hat for this giveaway, as I’ve decided rather than letting it loiter in the back of my wardrobe because it’s a tiny bit big, I will give away the Graphic Pop dress (worth $72) to someone who’ll really get some wear out of it…
