"What's Your Inspiration?" Summer Blog Contest!

What inspires you? Tell us by entering our most exciting blog contest yet!

It's called the "What's Your Inspiration?" Summer Blog Contest, and it's being brought to you courtesy of ChickDowntown.com, the ultimate fashionista paradise!

How to Enter:

1. Imagine you've been asked to create a name for your new line of clothing. The name of your line may come from any source of inspiration, as long as it is creative and original.

2. Describe in a few sentences what inspired your name, and how it relates to the line. (i.e. My line is called Orange Sunset because I draw inspiration from the reddish-orange colors of sunset. My line will consist of all summer-wear items and stay true to its name by using a strictly warm palette.)

3. Submit your entry by leaving a comment to this blog posting.

The Fashion Club Team will select their five favorite entries, and the winner will be chosen from those entries at random. The lucky winner will receive:

• A luxurious Elizabeth and James Deconstructed Tee in Peach from ChickDowntown.com, designed by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. At a $90 value, this is one fabulous boho-chic top!

The deadline for this contest is Tuesday, July 21st, 2009.
