Flash Friday: Betsey Johnson

Here at ideeli, we live by the mantra “surprise and delight”—especially when it comes to our members. We also, as our Mavens know, love giveaways. So it's in that spontaneous, swag-loving spirit, that we created our Flash Friday giveaways on Twitter. Each Friday we surprise our Twitter followers with a Flash Friday giveaway at any given time between 9am and 6pm ET. The giveaway lasts for a period of only 1-2 hours—hence the term “flash”—so it's important that you follow our feed (@ideeli) closely to get the start notice. We'll tweet out an announcement when the giveaway begins, along with the contest question. And then...we're off! We could ask you to re-tweet (RT) a phrase, do a scavenger hunt on our site, or answer a trivia question—anything goes. To enter the giveaway, followers will tweet us their entries with the hash tag #flashfriday, and we'll announce the winner soon after the contest ends.*

In keeping with the surprise element of Flash Fridays, prizes could be any of the many ideeli finds you know and love: statement necklaces, luxe handbags, cool beach getaways, cutting-edge artwork.

The cartwheels, the irrepressible prints, the classic downtown-chic: We can go on and on counting the ways we adore Betsey Johnson. And, once we got a peek at her Impress II satin sandal (which is also available in tomorrow's Betsey Johnson sale on our site)...well, there was really just no way we could keep it from featuring it in our very first Flash Friday shoe giveaway.

Need we say more? (Actually we should: these babies are only available in sizes 5 1/2 - 10, so please enter only if your shoe size falls into that range.)

We'll randomly pick two ideeli followers to win one pair of Betsey Johnson Impress II sandals each when they tweet us the answer to the contest question. So, what's the contest question? Well, you'll need to check our Twitter feed tomorrow for when we tweet it out!

So, here's a recap:
1. Follow us on Twitter @ideeli
2. Tune in 9am - 6pm every Friday for a surprise giveaway lasting 1-2 hours.
3. We'll announce the contest question when we announce the giveaway.
4. Tweet your answer with the hash tag #flashfriday to enter the giveaway (or if you're just excited, we won't mind...)
5. We'll announce winners soon after the contest ends.

Sound good? Who's ready for tomorrow's Flash Friday?!

*Winners will be chosen at random, and must be 18 years of age and over. Item subject to final availability. Contest only open to U.S. residents. Sorry, but we cannot ship outside the U.S. One entry per person only. Winners will be announced via Twitter and will have 7 days to claim their prize. After 7 days new winners will be chosen. Winners must be followers of ideeli's Twitter account at time of drawing.

To kick off our first Flash Friday in May, we're taking it to the beach with one of swimwear's hottest, most coveted designers: Rosa Cha. Amir Slama, Rosa Cha's founder, hails from that land of master swimwear crafters, Brazil, and the brand's signature splashy patterns and luminous fabrications reflect the exotic spirit of Slama's native country.

Up for grabs are two Rosa Cha swim cover-ups (known as "pareos") similar to the one pictured below (Please note: The pareos we're giving away will be of a different print and fabric than the one pictured; the prize pareos are valued at $195 each):

We'll randomly pick two ideeli followers to win one Rosa Cha pareo each when they tweet us the answer to the contest question. So, what's the contest question? Well, you'll need to check our Twitter feed tomorrow for when we tweet it out!

"I'd have to say that the best deal I found was a BCBGMAXAZRIA dress that I ran across while shopping for a dress to wear to a wedding, and the BCBGMAXAZRIA dress was the same price as a dress of lesser quality from another retailer I already had in mind!"
