Take That: Accessories Blow Out!
By Alexis Swerdloff
First off, congratulations to Miss Adena the winner of the Lela Rose for Payless flats. Here's why she wanted the shoes...
I am an accident waiting to happen in high heels! One night, I was running down the stairs at Lucky Cheng's for a cab wearing 7 inch shoes and ended up spraining my ankle and foot--not so "Lucky." To this day, I am in search of some good flats!
Wear them well! And no more tripping on the stairs of Lucky Cheng's!
Moving on to this week's Take That... we're giving away a big buncha accessories. You've got your adorable polka-dotted Alpinestars hat, a fun and colorful Etnies Girl belt, some Pippi-Longstocking-esque Benetton socks (we swear they're clean and un-used -- they look a little grimy in the photo) and a cute lil pin by The Ryde. It's a bit of an accessories extravaganza. As usual, our Take That model Blaire Huntley rocks the goods. Tell us (in the comment box below) why you should own these lovely trinkets, and we'll send em to ya!
Good luck!

I need these accessories because:
I am badly in new of a style upgrade and these will help. This will also help the public since I will have more style.
They will see me in public and no call the Fashion Police.
Also, I moved into a new apartment. I had to sink all my money into it.

this is a wacky mush mush
give me the socks, il trade the hat ect. with my little brother so i can get more socks..my sock collection must get bigger than like the two pairs i stole from him that i wear on rotate..usually unwashed. I really havent worn socks in over a year accualy but wearing boots without socks sucks! it takes a serious effort to get sweaty unsocked feet out of leather, im tellin ya. heck i dont really deserve the whole package, considering the fact that i really just want the socks..but the other items serve as potential christmas/birthday presents coming from my cheap ass.

the hat: obviously for sun protection, but also, the busy polka-dot pattern will help me blend in on those snowy moscow nights when i'm on reconnaissance... i've said too much already.
the socks: i'm depressed, but only in my calves and feet. I feel that the jaunty rainbow pattern will bring joy to my ankles and toes on days when the weight of the world is just too much for my weary stems to handle.
the belt: frankly, as a white guy with no ass, my use for this accesory would be strictly as its intended purpose, although a double bonus is that it's sassy! so maybe it's primary function is sassyness, and the pants-holding-up-ness is the bonus. i'll let you know once i put it on and start knockin' em dead!
the button: my other buttons have been arguing amonst themselves lately and i feel like this button, with its soothing color palatte might serve as a mediator between my johnny depp button and my the faint button, who have not been speaking because the johnny depp button ate the last lean cuisine.
there 'tis!

I think Polka-Dots and Pippi-Longstocking socks are definitely back in style. I reside in a boring part of Florida and people are always looking to see what the other is wearing so what better attention to get than to BUST OUT with my hat, belt, socks, & button from PAPER!!!!..I'll be the talk of the town! YIPPPIEEEEEEEEEEE

I want to win all of the above items, because of one really good reason. 1) I love stripes AND socks.
(Good for memorial day...oops that stars and stripes)
and 2) because i look REALLY cool in MOST accessories.
3) Because winning is my middle name.

The reason I would like to own these fabulous items is because I'm a walking clothing disaster. What better way to help put me on the map as a fashionista then to have my very own "in" garb for my silly, sad wardrobe. You'd be doing me a real favor here. I'm the type of girl who wears white after Labor day, knowing I shouldn't. The girl at work who walks the halls in shame having nothing stylish to wear. It's an injustice really. Please help me!!!!!
Love always,
Nikki
P.S. I'd give anything to look as hot as the model wearing the items. Cheers
