THE ICONIC CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY - INTERNATIONAL - CLOSED

Hurray for my very first blog giveaway! The lovely people at THE ICONIC have been generous enough to offer a $50 gift voucher code for me to give away to one lucky reader of my blog. If you haven't already checked out the site, or missed my post a couple of weeks ago, THE ICONIC is a new Australian online shopping mecca, stocking some great brands like Ksubi, Peeptoe, All About Eve, Ellery, RMK, Cooper St, True Religion, Ladakh, Le Specs - and heaps more - and offers free shipping anywhere in Australia.

All you have to do to enter is be subscribed to my blog via Google Friend Connect (underneath my favourite reads on the left hand side) or Bloglovin and leave me a comment below letting me know some of your favourite blogs (I need some new reading material over the summer, so this is purely for my own benefit!). Easy as that! As THE ICONIC is unable to ship internationally at this stage, if you are an international winner, I'll arrange to have your chosen item sent to me and I'll forward it on. Just to be fair :)

I'll leave the competition open until midnight, Tuesday 20th December then pick a winner on Wednesday randomly.

Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Coveting: THE ICONIC

A slightly different Coveting post today. Since you know I've been sick the past few weeks (on the mend now, thanks for asking) I've been doing my fair share of online shopping/window shopping. Most of my Christmas shopping this year has been done from the comfort of my bed, although I'm probably going to have to venture out into the wild during my week's holidays in a fortnight's time to get a few final things. The main problem I have with online shopping is the shipping costs/freight times - I know they have to have them, but it always puts a dampener on things when you total your cart and have to add another $20 plus weeks worth of waiting before you even get your longed for items.

Happily, the lovely people at new Australian online store, THE ICONIC, contacted me last week to let me know that they launched recently - and I thought you fellow Aussies would most likely be interested, if you haven't already heard of them.

The store stocks a huge array of fantastic Aussie brands for men and women, from Ladakh and All About Eve to Ellery and Therese Rawsthorne, Minty Meets Munt and Cooper St to Ginger & Smart and Manning Cartell, I Love Billy to Peeptoe, plus a few international labels, like True Religion, Wrangler and Ben Sherman. You've got your high-street and high-end all in one place, the way it should be.

The best part of the whole thing? Free shipping Australia wide - and if you live in Sydney (which I don't, but can still appreciate the awesome-ness here) there's a 3 hour delivery option. THREE HOURS PEOPLE. Standard delivery is only a couple days, so I can't be too jealous of Sydney this time ;)

Now for the coveting part - since all the Christmas shopping is in abundance at the moment, I haven't had the budget to just go selfish-shopping willy-nilly. So everything on my wishlist will be staying on my wishlist until after Christmas :( Hence I don't have any personal customer service experience to share today. I will say though, I'd really like to see THE ICONIC ~~stock more accessories~~ - just seems like something is missing at the moment - and I'd love to see Minkpink on the site - but that's just because they're a personal favourite of mine and I haven't found anywhere else online that stocks them with free shipping.

UPDATE: Accessories have arrived! At the moment it's just watches and sunglasses, but I can sense the start of something beautiful.

My picks from the site:
