Shopbop Giveaway

One of my most treasured items in my wardrobe is my Opening Ceremony swingcoat. It was a steal from one of the infamous lands end sales, and has served me so well throughout a couple of winters and more. I've worn it belted and loose, with a parka underneath and a scarf wrapped around, with boots and ballet flats, with long jersey skirts and cropped pants. It's the most blissful melange of colours that run the gamut from burgundy red to french navy via burnt orange and chocolate brown. It's like Autumn but distilled into coat form, which is, in a word, awesome. And it makes me so happy to wear it. Despite the fact it's not typically "minimal" or "classic" and it most certainly wouldn't fit into that kind of so frenchy so chic wardrobe that I want to have, I think that doesn't matter. Something I've realised recently is that I have to just stop worrying about what I'm supposed to wear or what I think I should wear and just wear the things that I love and make me happy.

So, in the spirit of making you happy, I am excited to say that the people at Shopbop have given me a $100 gift voucher to pass along to a reader of Capture the Castle. You could snag some Opening Ceremony goodness for yourself - like something from their various collaborations, think leopard print coolness from Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony, or California Skater-Chic from Rodarte for Opening Ceremony. Don't forget the shoes either! Opening Ceremony Shoes are the coolest things on the block, all those lace up boots and platform heels are the perfect accesory to a downtown outfit. They remind me of wandering New York in the winter, having breakfast at the Breslin in the Ace Hotel and seeing all these impossibly hip girls walking in and out of the Opening Ceremony store there. There's something about a girl in a lace up boot.

Alright, enough of that. All you have to do is leave a comment here with a link to your favourite item on shopbop (so I can stalk your future purchases) and your email address (so I can contact you if you win!). For additional entries you can retweet or tweet about the giveaway - just be sure to @reply me (@hannahroserose) so I know you've done it, or follow me on bloglovin' (just comment so I know!). That's it. Have as many entries as you want and I'll randomise the lot in a week to get a winner. Off you go!
