Win Cool Stuff: $150 Shopping Spree from Beso.com

UPDATE 5/3/12: And the winner is…#33 Ella P.! Congrats to our winner and thanks to everyone who participated.




Please note: This giveaway has ended and is closed to further entries.

I've teamed up with Beso.com to give one lucky Budget Babe reader a $150 shopping spree! All you have to do is create a shopping wish list collection on Beso for the chance to win it – valued at $150.

Beso as you may recall is a site dedicated to the joy of online shopping (my own words, but it's true). You can browse thousands of items from your favorite stores, "heart" the items you love, and group them by category by building collections, such as "Spring Essentials," "Home Decor Wish List" or, as I've done above, "Summer Festival Style." It's easy and kind of addicting, too.

Alrighty then, moving on to our giveaway!

To enter:


TIP: To create a collection, search around the site and click the "+" symbol next to each product and select "Add to New Collection." Continue to shop, shop, shop! Check out mine for inspiration!

Good luck!!

This is a sponsored post. Open to US residents, 18 and older. Contest ends 5/1/12. One entry per person. Opinions expressed are 100% my own.

What I'm Wearing: Route 66 Sandals from Kmart




Kmart Fashion recently bribed me to do some outfit photos in exchange for free shoes (joking...sort of), so here's what I put together! Yesterday started out chilly then warmed up, so I wore a striped J. Crew sweater, skinny LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's cords and my Route 66 "Miel" cork wedge sandals ($24.99 in teal or tan). I love these sandals because they remind me of Swedish Hasbeens, those so-ugly-they're-cute sandals wore by fashion-forward ladies like Sarah Jessica Parker (here). A bright green H&M crossbody bag, Sorrelli necklace and Shashi bracelet finish my casual look. Check out Kmart for more fun and affordable spring shoe options, they have some surprisingly chic offerings.
