Shopping Haul Video: Garment District Sample Sale, Plus… Duane Reade?!

This week, I embarked on my first assignment for the Jane by Design Style Challenge: I was given a $50 Visa gift card and challenged to go on a creative and inspiring shopping spree.  Who knew how hard it would be to spend someone else’s money?  Through a little bit of creativity (sprinkled in with a dose of sheer luck), I think I put my $50 to great use ( actually $48.06 to be exact).  Check out my video below to see what I came up with.

As I mentioned before, you guys can join in the fun by uploading a quick video of your own recent shopping finds to the Jane By Design Facebook Page (and be sure to mention Closet Confections sent you!). And one last thing: If I win the style challenge, I get to pick one of my lucky readers (that means you!) to be featured as “Trendsetter of the Week” on abcfamily.com.

Jane By Design Style Challenge

Super Exciting News!

I was recently selected to participate in the Jane by Design Style Challenge, a 3-week fashion challenge inspired by the new ABC Family original series, Jane By Design premiering Tuesday, January 3rd. The challenge will take me into the fictional world of the high-fashion design house Donovan Decker. During the course of the challenge, I will be “applying” for a job as the official Donovan Decker blogger.

I wasn’t quite sure what I was signing up for when I agreed to take on this challenge, but last night I arrived home to this:

It’s a HUGE (and heavy) trunk filled with all of the items I’ll need to complete my challenges.  Over the course of the next several weeks, I’m inviting you all along with me as I flex my fashion chops.  Take a peek at the short video below to see just what’s inside that box!

For my first challenge, I have to go shopping with a $50 budget and do a haul video!  I’m revving up to hit a few shops after work tomorrow.  But in the meantime, you guys can join in the fun by uploading a quick video of your own recent shopping finds on the Jane By Design Facebook Page (and be sure to mention Closet Confections sent you!).  Also, you can check out this scene from the show to see what all the excitement is about!
