L’Oreal x Marc by Marc Jacobs Giveaway!

October 7, 2011  |  Corporate Collaborations, Giveaway
Loreal Prize

L’Oreal, the Parisian beauty products company, contacted me a few weeks ago and asked me to help them promote their new Your Style Your Studio website. It’s a super cool concept and is basically a street-style website for hair. It’s similar to Chictopia in the sense that users are able to upload photos of themselves and their friends. Visitors to the site can search through the photos by specifying colors, lengths, and cuts to see the wide variety of looks hosted on the site.

I am asked to promote a lot of different brands, but I only choose to partner with brands that align with my values as a blogger and as a person. My whole mission with Chicago Street Style is to promote individuality, so it’s quite inspiring to me to see a giant corporation like L’Oreal create a website that is designed to encourage expressions of individual beauty, entirely based on user-generated content.

To win this giant prize package of SIX L’Oreal products and a super chic Marc by Marc Jacobs purse (with detachable strap to convert into a clutch) all you have to do is:

  1.  “Like” us on Facebook by visiting our Facebook Page
  2.  Write on our wall and tell us what your favorite hairstyle is! It can be your own hairstyle, a celebrity’s or a friend’s. Two to three sentences will suffice.

That’s it! The competition will run until Friday, October 14th. Best of luck! And in the meantime, make sure to upload some cool photos of your hairstyle to L’Oreal’s Your Style Your Studio website!

I ran into Kortnee walking down Rush street towards Barneys for an event. I was actually walking home when I ran into her in between Oak and Bellevue after hanging out with my friends at Sofia. Obviously I could not resist photographing her in those crimson red pants and platform heels. This deep red is most certainly the color of Fall 2011. She told me her earrings are from Drapes, a local jewelry line helmed by Ashley Scott. Like a perfect photography subject, Kortnee was totally game to stand out in the crosswalk (there was a walk sign) so I could capture a great background. I think I succeeded, don’t you?

Simon
There can never be enough cute boys on my blog. Agree? If we’re going to be technical about his look, I was intrigued by the print mixing and layering of his bordeaux corduroy blazer over an ecru ribbed cardigan on top of a plaid oxford shirt. Simon’s perfectly scrunched up jeans tucked into just barely unlaced boots created a sense of relaxation and coolness. I asked him to keep the headphones on, I thought they added to the atmosphere of the photo. Obviously being an attractive man never hurts as a way to get a female photographer to take a second glance.
