We’re happy to announce that Kimberly Turner, a fashion blogger and image consultant from Chicago, is the extremely lucky Grand Prize winner of ideeli’s Thanks A Million giveaway. The giveaway, which celebrated the fact that ideeli surpassed the million-member milestone, is a cornucopia of tremendous prizes, not the least of which are 2 round-trip tickets on a private jet from New York to Miami and a $1,000 ideeli shopping spree. Talk about a way to beat the winter doldrums!
    The Shock of Winning
Turner got a phone call from us about her windfall when she was driving and was so surprised that, she admits, “I almost hit the car in front of me! I was shocked and shaking by the time I got in the house. I went straight to my computer to recheck all of my winnings.” It’s no wonder she wanted to catalog all her prizes; the list is dizzying, so let’s get it out of the way: a $1,000 shopping spree with ideeli; two round-trip tickets on a private jet between New York City and Miami, provided by Greenjets; a three night stay at the Delano in Miami, provided by Morgans Hotel Group; four pieces of Tumi luggage; a $500 gift certificate to Bliss Spa; six tickets to any House of Blues or Live Nation Club/Theater event; seven items from the ADAM resort 2010 collection. Whew! (Kind of makes you wonder what we’ll give away when we pass the 2 million-member mark.)
    A Dedicated Fashionista
Turner’s not just a dedicated ideeli shopper, she’s also a fashion blogger who covers everything from the latest trends at fashion week to the latest fashion apps (did you know there was one for buying tuxedos?) at FashionCents.tv. Through weekly video podcasts and posts, fashioncents.tv, according to Turner’s, “helps people develop style and work within their budgets.” That’s a mission ideeli can certainly get behind.

Cassie is one of 50 lucky ideeli members who won our CHANEL ULTRA CORRECTION LIFT giveaway. CHANEL understands there's no better starting point to your everyday style than picture-perfect skin which is why they partnered with ideeli to give 50 of our members a gift package that included: an exclusive CHANEL logo headband, as well as a CHANEL cosmetics case packed with deluxe samples of beauty standouts including ULTRA CORRECTION LIFT LIFTING FIRMING DAY CREAM SPF15, ULTRA CORRECTION LIFT SCULPTING FIRMING CONCENTRATE, COCO MADEMOISELLE EAU DE PARFUM and more!

Cassie, What are your initial thoughts on winning? I was so surprised I actually won! I never win any contests I enter!

Why do you love CHANEL? I have a degree in Fashion Merchandising, so Chanel has been a huge love of mine for years. To me it embodies all that is classic and chic. Not to mention the influence it has had on fashion for many years. 

Tell us why you like shopping on ideeli: ideeli is such a great site because you have the opportunity to buy amazing pieces of clothing and accessories for crazy low prices.  Plus everyday there is something new!

Tell us what designer(s) you want to see on ideeli: I would love to see Mui Mui handbags or Stella McCartney clothing. 

What is your favorite trend of the season? For Fall I'm really into anything studded; skirts, belts, shoes. There's nothing better than a great pair of studded booties to dress up an outfit! I'm also loving the boyfriend blazer. You can pretty much pair it with anything and instantly make your look timeless.

I concur! What is your must have item for Fall? A great headband is essential for fall for me. One with some decorations worn in a hippie-esque way is great for a bad hair day or dressing up a plain top! Also, a nice leather motorcycle jacket is probably one of my best investments. I'd be lost without it.

Famous last words: In the words of Coco Chanel herself: "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." 

Agreed!
