give it away: elizabeth and james

Phew, I'm finally back from a rather torturous week of practicals and exams. Last night I was able to catch up on sleep and it was fantastic. I LOVE YOU SLEEP. Talking about things I love, I'm really loving this Elizabeth and James deconstructed tee! Annnnd thanks to chickdowntown.com (they also have a droolworthy selection of Jill Stuart, Rag & Bone, DVF clothing--anyone want to get me the Camel Damani dress?--and Current Elliot denim), I'll be giving this shirt away to one of my lucky readers. Woot!

All you have to do is leave a comment answering these 2 questions:
  1. Name a song that has either "Elizabeth" or "James" in the lyrics. If you can find it online (youtube, last.fm...) post the link so we can all hear it!
  2. How would you style an outfit with this tee?

Some other details:
  • Include your contact info (email, your website...) so I can get in touch with you if selected. You may also email me your email address if you desire.
  • No international shipping. Sorry overseas readers!
  • A winner will be selected based on best response Thursday, June 18th (1 week from now).
Good luck lovelies.

EDIT: Congrats to Lindsey who won the shirt! Kudos for her Camera Obscura mention and the cute outfit she put together.

oo you're coming to hk!! thats great, although the rain right now is not the least bit fun. well of course i'd recommend the good shopping places like lane crawford (the one in IFC is my favourite but the Pacific Place one is a close second), OnPedder, PedderRed, Giordano Concepts and Izzue/I.T.
Places to sit and people watch? That's a little hard in hk..since everything is basically in doors and there's not really anywhere to street watch but strolling through central or tsim sha tsui you tend to see some pretty stylish people but i guess they're just everywhere haha. Oh and tea! High tea! Srsly one of my most favourite things ever to do and I highly suggest Palace IFC (in IFC Mall) right next to the cinema. It's not tooo pricey like hotel pricey but its definitely hotel quality and so so so so good. That's also a good place to people watch if you sit towards the outside. They have these teas by Mariage Frères that is soooo good.

okay I think this is quite an essay of a comment so lemme know if there's more that you wanna know! Where are you going to be staying?? And how long are you going to be here for??? Exciting!!!

Love it because my middle name is Elizabeth-so creative!
I would wear this tee with either jeans or white jeans and then I would wear gladiators or a brightly colored sandal/flat

"james brown is dead" by L.A.Style

I would wear the tee on its own, with my biker boots and with my hair fluffed up (as usual) but with a black bow in my hair (the bow is pretty big)black nail polish and a black clutch, if the tee is too short I would wear it with biker shorts and platform heels

this shirt would have endless possibilities in my closet. right now, i would wear it by itself with a layer of my various long necklaces, any pair of shoes i own, my sunnies and maybe a hat, [a beanie, trilby, fedora, or bowler] depending on my mood. in the evening i would throw my leather motorcycle jacket or boyfriend blazer over it. i would wear my docs, winklepickers, wedge boots, wellies, sandals, platforms, or strappy heels with this. i would wear it with my black torn knee skinny jeans. i would wear it with a mini bandage skirt, or a longer pencil skirt. i would wear it with my silver snake wrap bracelet. this is a wardrobe staple!!!


oh, i found a plethora of songs, but i went with this one:


mystery jets - half in love with elizabeth

enjoy!
