Friendships are like wine; they improve as they age. Over the past year, Jena and I have shared successes and disappointments, leaned on each other for support and sought out advice when making key decisions. Much of what you see on ChicagoStreetStyle.com is the result of Jena’s critiques and encouragement. She has influenced my decision to tell the story of the individuals who I feature on my blog instead of just throwing their picture up. Jena has also influenced my personal style as well. Since virtually day one, Jena has been my strongest supporter. I realize more and more everyday how lucky I am to have made a true friend in the fashion blogging world.

This lovely pair of tortoiseshell Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses is the centerpiece of my second giveaway package. As you know from the first giveaway, these prizes were given to me by a mystery company that is relaunching its brand on August 15th with Australian indie rock band Strange Talk. Also included is a colorful scarf and an American Apparel crop top in hot pink.
I partnered up with Jeff from The MidweStyle to help me promote this giveaway. He and I are wearing the pair of sunglasses I get to keep. Don’t worry, the winner will receive an identical brand new, untouched pair. Obviously I was inspired by the mystery company’s obsession with color, hence my obnoxiously colorful ensemble. Jeff was inspired by color as well, but since he’s a guy his palette is a little more muted.
To win these sunglasses, all you have to do is:
1. Click here to “Like” us on Facebook. Then write on our wall about why you love color. If you participated in the last giveaway, you’ll be automatically entered in this one as well.
2. Click here to “Like” Strange Talk on Facebook. Make sure to tune in to the video release on August 15th for a chance to win tons of other prizes!
That’s it! The contest will conclude at 5pm this Saturday, August 13th. The third and final giveaway will start immediately after and conclude Sunday night. Best of luck!
