Win a Deconstructed Tee by "ELIZABETH AND JAMES"

.
Spring time has arrived, what better way to start the season than by adding a fabulous "Elizabeth and James" Tee by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to your clothing collection?
.
The Stiletto Effect is partnering with chickdowntown.com and GIVING AWAY this Elizabeth and James Deconstructed Tee to ONE LUCKY WINNER!
.
.
I love chickdowntown because it has an extraordinary assortment of beautiful clothing. It carries tons of amazing designers such as: Diane von Furstenberg, Balmain, L.A.M.B., Marc by Marc Jacobs, See By Chloé, just to name a few.
.
Be sure to check out the Elizabeth and James Clothing to see other cool pieces in the Collection. This line was created by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (considered by the fashion industry, two of the most stylish women in the world) and is named after their younger sister Elizabeth and older brother James.
The sisters have been quoted in saying they "wanted the line to be based on a relationship between a young girl and a boy and tell the story through the clothing", and that the line is "a clash between masculinity and femininity".
.
Unfortunately it's US residents only; as Chickdowntown does not ship internationally. But do not worry because soon The Stiletto Effect is launching another contest and ALL will have the chance to participate.
.
To enter into this Contest, leave a comment and write: (your EMAIL - your STATE - and USA). I'm only accepting comments that have these three things. You can write other stuff too, but to enter the contest please write (your EMAIL - your STATE - and USA). I know I'm repeating myself, but I want this to be perfectly clear. If you only write your email and the State and you don't write USA, It will not count. Or if you only say stuff like: "I hope I'm the winner" it will not count too.
The Rules are: (your EMAIL - your STATE - and USA).
.
The comment #150 with the: (EMAIL - STATE - USA), will be the Lucky Winner. And since I have comment moderation no one will see the comments before the end. Only by then you will see who the Lucky Winner is. YOU CAN ENTER MORE THAN ONE TIME BUT DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN 10 COMMENTS, AND IF YOU LIVE ABROAD BUT HAVE A RESIDENCE IN THE US YOU CAN ENTER TOO. So start commenting because the Contest ends next Tuesday April 21st by Midnight!
.
GOOD LUCK!
.
Since this Giveaway is over and we have a winner, I've decided to hide all the comments, to avoid spam!
