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.
