Vote for The Budget Babe in The Polyvore Blogger Awards, Win a Chanel Bag




The Budget Babe has been nominated for Best Budget Blog in the Polyvore Blogger Awards! The Polyvore Blogger Awards is the first ever online event where the Polyvore community votes for their favorite bloggers.

To vote:
Visit The Polyvore Blogger Awards contest page and create a set featuring your blog of choice.

The prize:
By voting, you qualify to win the grand prize of a Chanel Timeless Classic bag (medium in black caviar) from the Polyvore team!

Bloggers who win each category will be rewarded with glory, ie. we get to take over the Polyvore home page for one day. It's not quite Chanel but it would definitely rock big time.

The contest ends at 5 p.m. PT on Monday, July 25 (woa, that's my birthday!) so please take a moment to cast your vote.

Thanks for your support, b-babes!!



eBay x CFDA Limited-Edition Tote Bag




To help fight counterfeits and celebrate original design, eBay partnered with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) for a Fashion Vault sale featuring exclusive CFDA tote bags created by top designers, including The Row, Rodarte and 3.1 Phillip Lim. The CFDA designer totes ($150 each) were a huge hit and are all sold out but the plain tote is still available - and it's just $35! If you're a do-it-yourselfer or just plain crafty, I suggest picking up one of these stylish totes and personalizing it yourself. Add ribbon flowers like Tory Burch or pyramid studs like Rebecca Minkoff - and support a good cause with the most stylish summer tote around.
