Win a bag by David Jones

May I introduce you to Miss Louise? 'Cause she gonna be the object of your desires within the next week, promised!! I know, Christmas is over, so regard it as a belated gift from me, sponsored by stylefruits. A while ago, they asked me if I am interested in running a raffle. Of course, I couldn't overcome this temptation which is why I instantly started browsing their online selection. A bag was most suitable for a raffle I thought. And then, David Jones' Louise caught my eye, so I snapped the chance. A good yield, isn't it? And one of you will be the lucky winner.
Terms & Conditions:To participate you have to write me a mail at scrambledfashion@hotmail.com, in which you reveal your personal must-have for 2012. And don't forget your name and address in case you're the winner. The raffle will run a week, so deadline is on Sunday 15th at 5 pm. If you're the lucky one will be chosen by lot. I'll keep my finger's crossed for you!!

 

 

Back to life...

 001. After all this christmas indulgence and enjoying the dolce far niente over the high days and holidays, it's time for me to report back. I really had some great weeks within my family circle and I finally got accepted for this year's journalistic internship at "Süddeutsche Zeitung", one of Germany's highly run newspapers. I am really beside myself with joy to have the opportunity to estivate in Munich this year!!

002. Besides all this sense of delight, I need to get back to the grindstone. As the semester comes to an end, I am overwhelmed with work. On Friday, I started learning statistics, but there is still macroeconomics, public law, politicial theory and history of political thought waiting for me.
 So I am definitely snowed under with work. In addition, I have to author my first manuscript about parental maintenance. Phew!! But to answer Bob the Builder's "Can we fix it?"  - Yes, I can! At least, I hope..

003. At the very end, I got a surprise for you, which I already announced last year. In cooperation with stylefruits, a social-shopping-platform, I'll raffle off a bag by David Jones . They offered me the opportunity to pick a gift out of their selection to give it away to my readers. The next post reveals more about the give-away.
