A Mother’s Day giveaway from Mark’s!

Remember last autumn when my new BFFs over at Mark’s offered me (and a bunch of my bloggy friends) a fun makeover to showcase their own brand makeover?

Lookit me, I'm a fashion model! (1 of 3)

All winter long, this was my go-to, no-fail favourite outfit. I love the pants, I love the top and I love that leather jacket madly and deeply. And the boots? This is the first spring ever that I was regretful to think that I’d have to put a pair of boots away for the season.

Ahem, so anyway, this is not just me waxing nostalgic about some very excellent clothes. Mark’s is continuing its makeover theme this spring, and has just launched a fun new contest called Mark’s reStyle:

Last year, Mark’s smartened up many of its stores nationwide and to introduce the refreshed brand to consumers, we held Mark’s Over events in several cities nationwide.

To experience Mark’s as the place for innovative and fashionable men’s and women’s casual apparel and footwear, media and bloggers were treated to a total makeover – including hair, makeup, Mark’s styling and professional photography. The event demonstrated that the new stores better represent what Mark’s has become to Canadians – the place for innovative and fashionable men’s and women’s casual apparel and footwear.

For the Spring reStyle contest, we’re asking men and women from across the country to share their need for a fashion refresh or upgrade.

And check out the amazing prize packages! The two finalists will be able to choose from:

  • the “night life” package: a $1000 Mark’s shopping spree, a $3000 all-expenses paid trip for two people to Montreal including tickets to one of the summer’s hottest concerts, $1000 in spending cash and a $500 iPad 2 to capture the experience.
  • the “beach life” package: a $1000 Mark’s shopping spree, a seven day trip for two to a sun destination of your choice, and $1000 spending cash.
  • the “home life” package: a $1000 Mark’s shopping spree, a $3000 Backyard upgrade package, a $1000 BBQ and $500 patio furniture.

So head on over to Mark’s reStyle facebook page to read more about the contest. But wait! Don’t go just yet, because I haven’t told you about MY giveaway yet.

  1. I really like the Denver Hayes bra-tanks w embroidery (might even work for nursing!), and the whole Inspiri line is really cute.

    Really, it’s just been so long since I shopped, anything would be an improvement over what I have…

  2. How about 4 for me and 19 for DH? I think his wardrobe needs updated more than mine.

  3. Look 10 is my style but I love the dress in Look 6…may be good to wear to my girl’s 1st communion at the end of the Month…..

  4. Realistically, 2 and 12 are probably what you’d see me wearing, but I really like 3,4 5 and 6…and also kind of 9 and 10…

  5. I love look #9. I’ve just weaned a sweet baby girl, am working to drop that last ten pounds since pregnancy and am looking foward to getting some new clothes before heading back to work at the end of the month.

  6. THIS is my kind of contest:)
    thanks for not making me jump thru hoops:))

    and i like look 2…but there were definitely more things i could happily mix up into my wardrobe!

  7. Delurk

    It was kind of sad that there were so few male “looks”. Nevertheless, I like Look 15.

  8. Look #11 it is! Perfect for me when I head back to the office after mat leave #2 … in just a few short months 🙁 Thanks 🙂

  9. I am not normally a violent person, but I could possibly kill for the red trench..look 1.

  10. I’m with Coco!!! I also like 8 and 9… but since I’ll soon be quitting my job, perhaps I should stick with something more cajzs(???), hunh? (Um, how DO you spell that, anyway?)

  11. #11 for sure!

    After almost a decade at home raising child, I’m switching from yoga pants and Lulu to some office friendly stuff. This look combines them both. Keeping fingers crossed!

  12. I like look 7 for me and look 19 for the bf.

    Quite honestly I liked all the looks. I even liked the dresses even though I don’t wear them.

  13. Look #17 – my husband looks much better in clothes than I do! But the Copper Sole thermal socks are a look that I could rock. I think. Maybe I need a style intervention.

  14. I think look #11 is more my style! The shoes are pretty awesome…. must go sandal shopping too if the weather ever warms up around here!!

  15. Hard to choose just one, but I’d think look 11 would be perfect to take me from the office to the classroom to the park with the kids (can you tell I ask alot of y clothes! ;))

  16. I’m loving your look in the photo above, but I think look #11 is perfect for me.

  17. OK, I must be crazy because I can’t see the numbers…maybe because I’m in Firefox? Who knows. Anyway, I like several of them but my favourite is the pink and purple flowered dress. I LOVE purple…it’s kinda become my signature colour. That dress is so springy!

  18. I Love Mark’s as you know, and it is hard to pick just one

    I like Look 9 and Look 8…And eveything else. Darn that is hard!

  19. Love look #10! I can’t wait, there’s a Mark’s opening near us next month. I’m in major need of new clothes and their stuff looks like it’s right up my “I’m too old for teen clothes but too young for old lady outfits”!

  20. I like Look #12 – i shop at Mark’s all the time – love their clothes.
