$100 Shopbop Giveaway! Tell us why you love Marc by Marc Jacobs bags!

Do you love Marc by Marc Jacobs bags as much as I do? Yes, I thought so. I'm so excited to present another giveaway with Shopbop for a chance to win a $100 Shopbop gift card to go towards a new handbag for spring. Just leave a comment below to share which Marc by Marc Jacobs bag from Shopbop is you favorite!

About Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs, known for his retro, yet functional brands that include clothing, bags, shoes, home accessories and fragrances, designed the first collection of hand-knit sweaters for his namesake label in 1986. In 1994, he and his business partner, Robert Duffy, officially launched the Marc Jacobs signature line of womenswear. Four years later, Jacobs launched his more affordable diffusion line, Marc by Marc Jacobs.

His handbag line came on the scene in 2000 as well as a menswear line, Marc Jacobs Men. Since then, the Marc Jacobs brand has expanded beyond clothes and bags into fragrances, eyewear, watches, a children's line (Little Marc) and a streetwear brand (Stinky Rat).

Today, Marc Jacobs, Marc Jacobs Men and Marc by Marc Jacobs retail locations can be found across the world, from Las Vegas to Taiwan to Dubai. With each new opening of a store, the country's flag is propped in the windows to show that, although Marc Jacobs is an American brand, it is also part of that country and the global community.

If you win this giveaway, you'll be able to tote around one of his handbags for $100 off! It's like having an exclusive Marc Jacobs sale.

Which bag would you choose?
When it comes to color for bags, anything goes this spring, from conservative grey and black to cheery candy colors to soft pastels. As for prints, florals are making a comeback, as with any traditional spring, as are brushstrokes and textured designs. Marc by Marc Jacobs hangbags from Shopbop has all of these trends covered!

For florals, try the Zippy Nylon Shopper. For pastels, look to the Classic Q Nugget Cross Body Bag in a faded blue. For classic, snag the Classic Q Natasha Messenger Bag.

Which one is your favorite?

HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show in SF

I had a great time today at HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show area at the Westfield Shopping Center in San Francisco. The concept is that you are in Carrie's closet filled with Manolo Blaniks and HP Vivienne Tam clutches (as well as other HP laptops and printers) -- a fashion tech girl's dream closet I say!

I got a tour from Shay Fan who pointed out to me these famous pair of Manolos that were in the first movie. I love them!

There were a couple of fun photo things you can do at the booth. The first was a large green screen so you could be in a picture with your 4 favorite ladies. (You can actually choose from a few different backgrounds.) They printed me out a photo to go home with but you can log on later one with a special code to download the photo. I was so dorkily excited to do this! You can see my finished photo in the monitor. I'm the tiny girl in the left corner -- it's not quite to scale but totally fun!

I also took a photo at the "vanity" counters they had which placed your photo in the movie ad. FUN!

You can see the slideshow of all my photos from the HP Sex and the City 2 Trunk Show.

If you are in the SF/Bay Area, stop by this weekend! You'll love the mix of shoes, bags, and HP laptops + printers and Sex and the City fun. Then make it an afternoon of shopping in true SATC style.

While you are there, take a quick photo of yourself with your cellphone at the booth and twitpic it to @coquette to for a special "double entry" in the SATC2 giveaway. You'll be entered to win a pair of free tickets for a special pre-screening of Sex and the City 2 in SF!

The deadline to enter is Sunday, May 9th at 7:00pm PST (<---now extended so you have more time to head over to the mall this weekend!) For more information, visit the SATC2 giveaway page.

I love my Dr Pericone Cold Plasma so much that I agreed to try out the High Potency Eye Lift. I have honestly never found an eye cream I really liked until now. The cream goes on light and never feels heavy. I don't have any major wrinkles around my eyes yet, and I'd like to keep it that way. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and already I can feel that the elasticity of the skin around my eyes has improved. Watch the video below for more info.

Winner of N V Perricone Cold Plasma

Congrats to Leigh Ann of Morgantown, WV for winning a jar of N V Perricone Cold Plasma in our recent giveaway. More giveaways to come on the blog soon!

Coquette Giveaway: N V Perricone Cold Plasma

I just started using Perricone Cold Plasma this week to already excellent results. As you may know, I've been working on ways to improve my skincare regimen. Last year with a newborn baby, it was hard for me to really take care of myself, especially the daily regimen I did for myself. I started noticing last fall that my skin looked dry and tired and I really wanted to do something about it. Especially now that I'm in my late 30's, I know how the fine lines can just creep on up!

Perricone Cold Plasma advertises to helps correct the 10 most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, loss of smoothness, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, loss of radiance, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, and loss of firmness -- using ingredients such as neuropeptides, DMAE, and DHA.

I want to note that I am very picky about what I put on my skin so I was only interested in trying this out because of the great quality of N V Perricone products. So far after using Cold Plasma each night and morning, I finally feel like my skin is getting back on track -- feeling much more hydrated and taut! The cream feels really light on your skin which is what I love the most about it. (I can't handle heavy creams at all.) I'm looking forward to see the ongoing progress of continued use.

Now here's your chance to try out Perricone Cold Plasma yourself in this special Coquette Giveaway!

How to Enter:
Leave a comment below telling me why you want or need Cold Plasma. All entries must be in by April 1, 2010 at 12:00pm PST.
